Suppress Jewelry Fraud Targeting Postmasters
The post office department moves to stop a scam where jewelry firms mail boxes to people from ad lists with notices to refuse the box and send it back with a stamp. Firms then press the recipients for payment for claimed items. Acting Postmaster General Jones will shield the public and notify postmasters to not open such boxes. In Kansas City a man is killed in a saloon and several robberies occur in one night as bandits rob victims on Independence Avenue and Bluff Street, amounting to about $55.
