This department ia devoted to separating the sheep of
advertising from the goats?and hanging a bell on the goats.
It deali with a very serious topic in a way that is not too serious.
Its honest endeavor will be te answer with fairness, either in
print or, where that is inexpedient, by private bitter, all fair
questions about advertisements, while reserving the right to plead
ignorance when that is the right answer. It ailts nothing for its
services except the confidence of iti correipondents in giving
their names and addresses, * confidence which will never be vio?
lated. Please state clearly whether you prefer to have your name
withheld from answers printed here. No unsigned communications
will be read. Addrest: The Ad-Viior. The Tribune, New York.
Being a reader of vour column. The Ad-Visor, and approving of your ob
?e*-t In exposing fraudulent advertialng. I (??-(? to call the following cose to
jour attention (in Sunday. July 25, the undersigned went down lo Sheepa
head Bay wuh the Intention of going out for some deep sen tishlng on the
Ktr Giralda. On o'ir way to the boat we wer?* solicited b] an agent of ?'?plain
Fred Nelson. 8tr. .hmn Kverard. and were Induced t?, take th.-ir Steamer, tlie
Inducement being that th?, fare would tr..' ?'. -.'?. whereas the fine on the Str.
OlraJda waa ?n.M. as wA boarded t\* boat Captain Fre,i Nelson ihimseifi
handed ua each one of the Inclosed tickets, each one of which was numbered,
es you will note. Alter our day's fishing, on returning, a collector demanded
$1.60 from each passeii-fer. We refuse?! to pay said agent and did not \-xy
until after consultation with Captain Nelson, who Instated that his price was
11.60. I believe It la hut right that such method.? should be exposed. Is It
possible that his license Juni tied him to demand anv price be see?, fit after
advertising pri*-, an per tioeo tickets* WM. P. IMWAHI?.
jclic-s i e.?ATi'i:
II? ?RRIG HERZFELD.
No license? by land or sea enWtJes any person to collect moro for
services than tho price for which those services are offered. The three
complainant? **~uJd have been who?y within their rights in adhering to
their refusal lo pay more than th*} $1.25 specified on the ticket. The
steamboat licencing authorities mi-fht well take cognizance of Captain
X?"?-son's peculiar transportation methods.
I em a Constant reader of The Tribune and always greatly inter?
este?) in your column. A friend of mine is using "Marmola" for the
reduction of fat. Can you tell me whether it is .??fe and if it accom?
plishes the desired result ? READER.
Early analyses of Marmola showed the presence of thyroid extract,
an uncertain and dangerous drug. Later tests indicate that the thyroid
has been omitted and that the preparation now depends upon a laxative
for its results. Of course, in a secret remedy like this, there is no guar?
antee that the manufacturer, who has once changed the formula, will not
change it again and introduce without warning some harmful element.
As it is. Marmola can reduce fat only by reducing strength. If "Reader's"
friend wishes to purge himself into a state of thinntss by an agency
which will produce and maintain a condition of intestinal irritation, Mar?
mola is the article for his money. He may lose his fat. If he does
he is likely to lose his health at the same time.
Would you kindly let me know what the ingredients of Viavi ?re? This
medicine waa sold lo my wife, hut she never used I?. Same mi sold to her in
many forms They certainly have clever solicitors. What steps do I have
to take in order to get my money lack? J. G.
Viavi is not a specific and unvarying treatment, but a system. Many
different kinds of secret "remedies" are prescribed under it. If J. G.
will send six cents in stamps to the American Medical Association, 535
North Dearborn Street. Chicago, 111., with a request for the Viavi pam?
phlet, he will receive some illuminating information about this widespread
form of quackery. As to getting his money back, if a simple demand will
not accomplish that end there is no other recourse short of the law.
WIM you kindly let me know If the clipping inclosed has any merit? I
in; drug-flat's to learn if there was anything In it inJuriotiB to the
led it for my mother?, but the answer came through a letter
from acturei himself, which naturally was blasa?d. P. O. 8
The subject of the inquiry is "oil of korein," one of the many pro?
prietary medicines which masquerade as legitimate drugs. There is no
such drug known to ?scientific pharmacy as "korein." This preparation is
advertised as a non-injurious reducer of fat. There is no such thing a9
n medicine which reduces weight harmlessly. All drugs which reduce
weight are harmful in proportion as they are effective. Such as do not
^contain ingredients affecting the heart derange the digestion, thus reduc?
ing weight and health simultaneously. The korein advertisement inclosed
bj P. ... S. marks the preparation as fraudulent. The only method of
ng weight is by diet and exercise.
Here ia another fraud o?* which you may have heard already. A num?
ber of our railroad officials have received these demands although they
for the book. The publishers asked me for a brief sketch,
with the assurance that I should incur no obligation by sending it to them.
.;. should be "shown up." WILLIAM E. HOTT.
In New Yoi City one of their men has been calling nt our
railroa 1 offices with drafts "rom a downtown bank, which he presents wit*|
a demand that they be honored immediately.
A concern calling itself the American Publishers Association has
been fo* ?nine years working the little "vanity game" upon the public,
which is the subject of Mr. Hoyt's letter. They send out to various in?
dividuals requests for biographical data, involving no obligation, and
"me months later the recipient receives a bill for $10 for one copy of
"Herringsha'A ?'? Library of American Biography," "containing your
i iography on page-." On the billhead is printed this ingenious foot?
note:
"Kindly make remittance as above, and your copy of this great work
?vi!l be sent to you by return mail, all charges prepaid, containing a most
satisfactory biography of yourself carefully edited according to agree?
ment from your data-subscription received from this standard collec?
tion; or we can send it C. 0. I), if you so desire."
The easy-going, the timid, or the forgetful are likely to be taken in
I y that term "data-subscription." Of course there has been no subscrip?
tion. Another and similar scheme operated by th?. sume concern is, "Men
of 1914" or other date, whereby the "notables" who obligingly correct
proof of their own bographies, have their.corrections made the basis of a
shipment of the book and a bill for ?$10. The book is a wretch? d
specimen of publishing, which would be ??ear at a fifth of the price.
Your article on "Sample Shoes" was very nteresting, more so to me
a 1 have been ? salesman in the stores on had named. Were one to look
? ?, V of the star Shoe, Levir.ton Brothers, and McDonald's,
you could And shoes there since the day? of the Civil War. Sample shoes
they do have, but when one wants to find them it is like looking for a
needle m a hay stack Sample shoes are only made in the following sizes:

Hnfiing you will continue the good work, and wishing success.
IRV.
Expert testimony is always welcome. Possibly "Irv" is embroidering
history a bit in ascribing Civil War dates to the "sample" shoe stink at
present on sale. But there is no doubt that some of the footgear offered
in these shops reaches well back into antiquity. Lately there has been a
movement to have samples made in a wider range of sizes, and .ome
fartnries are now doing this. Rut it is a safe assumption that the chance
? f the customer to get a genuine sample at the present style sample shoe
store will be just what it always has been, practically zero.
I congratulate you hearti!) on the good work you are ?loinj*;. The
"Ad-Visor" column is the most entertaining, and, I believe, the most
profitable, part of The Tribune.
1 write, however, to ask you to comment et. the inclose?: advertisement
conspicuously displayed in "The Ithaca Daily Journal. ' This newspaper
is very conservai ive and old it celebrates its centennial this month
and makes soir .? claim to decency in its advertising. For instance, it
has for some tirre refused to accept any advertisements of beer or alcoholic
drinks Vet this very care in its ?dverti.in*- renders such an advertisement
as I Inclose doubly danirerous. As a reader of that paper I am astonished,
and as a citizen of Ithaca I am indignant.
A MIMBES OF THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY FACULTY.
No newspaper with a decent regard for the public welfare or for
its own j-'?>od repute would publish the advertisement inclosed in the
Cornell professor's letter, a splurging announcement of "Good News to
the Sick," from the itinerating X-ray quack, I?r. .lames V. Curry. It
carries its own condemnation in every line too plainly for even the most
obtuse pi'tilisher t?> mistake its real nature In rejecting beer and liquor
advertising "The Ithaca Journal" may be actuated by th? highest
motives. It can be actuated only by the lowest in accepting the ?Dr.
Curry patronage.
WEST SIDE HAS
MYSTERY RAID
Millionaire with Chaplin
Mustache Gone When
Maid Opens Door.
69TH STREET BUZZES
ABOUT STRANGE AUTO
Mrs. Rice, Owner of Apartment.
Says No One Was at Home
Detectives Missini*; Now.
That place where an. many things
happen, the upper West Side, was ex?
cited yesterday over the tale of a multi?
millionaire who escaped from a wom
; an's apnrttnent after a raid, in which
1 at least one man was said to have rep?
resented himself as a police ?leteetive.
The millionaire in question dashed up
j the scuttle, over the roof a.id down a
i fire escape when the sleuths were
threatening; to kic!. in the door of the
j flat.
The story ran that a Mrs. Fanny Rice
rented n flat at 72 West Sixty-ninth
Street two months ago, saying her sis?
ter, Miss He La Vere, would live there,
with two colored maids. After the sis?
ter moved in a tine automohile would
take her out for an airing almost every
afternoon. A man, supposed to be the
millionaire, called quite often.
One description of the millionaire
was that he was identified with a great
I -, L-,
; raihvav svstcm, was an automobile en
, thnsiaat and had a "Charlie Chaplin"
mustache.
But somebody \v- t d Some informa?
tion about this mysterious man, and
j four dct/ctives set out .0 $0*. it. One
afternoon lqst week they appeared and
beat or the door f the Mat, to no
avail. They reappeared last Monday
afternoon. When .. arrived the
millionaire was already there, so the
tale runs.
This time the detectives set them?
selves to "covering" the house. One
, watched the front steps, nrother the
,cellar in the back yard. Two v?ent up
; stairs and hammered on the door.
"What do you want?" ccr*e a voice
! from the inside.
"We want the man that's in there,"
said the sleuths.
"You'll hiiN to wait a m'.nute," said
the voice behind tin- door.
The detectives did wait a minute
several minutes, in fact. Then, getting
angry, they promised to . mash down
the dour. Instead, ; n ro maid ..ened
it. Like terriers the sleuths ran
through the flat. Hut no man was
there! One of the detectives showed a
' police shield, and said he was Lieuten?
ant Jones, of the WerU Sixty-eighth
Street station, so the story was tol?T.
The maid, although credited with
boasting she had aided the man to
escape, denied this last night. She and
a woman who claimed to be Mrs. Rica,
and who "was not at home when the
' raid occurred," said nobody was in the
flat except the maid, "who was fright?
ened at tirst, and did not want to open
the door to strangers." Mrs. Kice said
Misi il< la Vere had been away all
summer in the country.
One of the occupants of the house
said he was shown a police shield. At
the West Sixty-eighth Street station
Sergeant Keller, who is in charge of
Inspector Lwyer's work, said there was
no Lieutenant Jones there. There is a
detective named Jones on the inspec
! tor's staff. At the station house he was
1 said to have been on his vacation for
1 "a couple of days." Patrolmen and
1 detectives alike scoffed at the idea of
a police detective being mixed up in
getting probable evidence for a divorce.
The janitor of the house at No. 72
? was terribly wrought up over the affair
last night. Reporters had pestered
him to death, he said.
"Well, ilor.'t you want to have the
facts put down correctly, have them
written right?" asked one of the re?
porters.
"Right! Right!" snapped the janitor.
"Great heavena, I'm ALWAYS right!"
Although admitting he had made no
investigation of the case, Captain John
Ormsbec, acting inspector in Dwyer's
absence, denied emphatically that there
was any truth in the story.
"The whole thing is a fake," he said.
"I shan't give it a moment's considera
I tion."
Brave, Unhappy Bangor Girl
? Cries for Home She Dreads
Helen Brver, thirteen-year-old H.i!is?ir girl, whom police will return to her
foster parents.
As Thirteen-Year-Old Helen Bryer. Who Never
Iaaughed, Sees Dream of Work 11?re Fade,
She Quails at Expected "Lickings."
In the corner of one of the pleasant
Upper rooms of the new Children's
Court, in Fast Twenty-seeond Street,
yesterday a little, freckled, red-haired
girl, thin and scrawny and wistful
faced, sat crocheting. The other girls
who were there laughed and talked to?
gether, but this little girl looked as if
, she would Barer laugh again. She
: doesn't seem to have laughed in her
, life, if what she says is true, and it
sounded as -f it were.
She was thirteen-year-old Helen
i Bryer, who fan away from her adopted
' parents in Banffor, Me., the other day
', after taking $27 from her foster father.
' She went to Boston and then came to
i New York. On Tuesday night she went
to the Greenwich Street police station
and told the sergeant how she had run
away, for New York had begun to look
; pretty big? to Helen and she was get
| ting frigWened.
"I'd like to go home if I wouldn't get
1 licked," she said yestcrdav after the
I sergeant ha i brought her to the Chil
I dren's Court and Justice Ryan had
; asked the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty t?. Children to care for her
till her foster parents could be sent
for. "But I know I will be licked. 1
wai before. And mv hie brothers if
! I had a little ?loll 1 liked they'd tear it
up, and if I cried they'd hit me."
Helen stoutly maintained that she
coul?! suppoit herself in New York if
? she were allowed to try.
"I got a room in 117th Street." she
said, "and I was gointr to get a job.
: Then I thought the police chief would
i get one for me, so I gave a boy in

ROLL ON CURB
George ?raham Rice Is
Again Storm Centre of
Drive on Mines.
PLAN TO SQUEEZE
HIM, HE DECLARES
Promoter Recently Served Term
in Prison for Mail
Fraud.
George Graham Rice, whose finan
! cial activities in the past led to his
lmprisonmei.t for a considerable length
? of time, an?l who is now playing the
cnief part in a real life drama entitled
?"Trying to Come Rack," has once again
i burst into the limelight. As Rice told
his story yesterday, however, he is the
?injured party this time the victim of
I a plan to depress the price of some of
) the mining properties which he has
been trying to promote on the curb
! market.
The securities of several of these
companies suffered some heavy declines
on Tuesday, but Rice said this was
I due to the efforts of loan brokers to
?squeeze him by felling the stocks held
! as collateral for loans. This started a
i general li?*ui?iating movement, he de?
clared, for which there was no just
cause, but which was stopped by him?
self as a large buyer and "important
New York and Salt Lake City inter?
ests."
Tha companies most seriously af?
fected by the selling movement were
the Km m a Copper Mining Company,
which sold from 73 to 35 cents a share
on Tuesday but rallied yesterday to o
bid price of 47. Alta Consolidated
went from 74 cents to 30 cents and re?
covered to 47. Albion Mining, another
Rice property, sold from 41 cents to
:,3 cents, with a bi?l price ?t the close
yesterday of .'!?* cents. Big Cotton wood
was less affected ty tfie selling of
Tuesday, its* low price being 5 cents on
that day, compared with yesterday's
bi I of ttxt cents.
One of the stories told by curb brok?
ers was that Rice, when he saw the
| volumo of the selling in his properties,
! flashed a roll of one hundred Sl.wiO
? bills, with the assertion that he whs
able to take all the stock offered. When
asked concerning the truth of this re
I port in his offices in the Lord's Court
Building, nt 27 William Street, Rice
! answered by drawing a roll of green
I backs from his pocket that would choke
? the proverbial cow. and said with a
laugh: "Well, you can see for yourself
that I usually carry enough money on
me to meet most emergencies."
If the roll consisted of $1,000 bills,
as was indicated from the outside, it
i looked as if the story told by the curb
brokers might be all right. Before the
1 Tribun?' reporter left Rice's office she
received a lengthy dissertation on the
I merits of the mining properties pro
' moted here by Rice, albeit the securi
ties were still in the speculative s'?
and conseiiuently subject to wide IT
tuations. They are listed on the S
Lake City Stock Exchange.
Jacob 8imon Hernig, slias (ieoi
Ciraham Bice, has recently added a te
at Dlackwrll's Island to his other pria
experiences. Beginning in 1890 he 1
been successively an inmate of Elm
Beformatory, Sing Sing and Aubtr
He was sentenced to his latest "bit"
1912 after a lengthy trial for ?ssing t
mails with the intention to defraud.
At that time Herzig, or Bice, w
the power behind the brokerage firm
I). H. Scheitels & Co.. which had be
connected with several decidedly s?ha
?deals in worthless mining stocks. Bio
lawyers advised him to plead guili
but this he refused to do, and, dischar
ing his counsel, took personal charge
his own case. He was found guilty.
Bice was sent to Elmira in 1890. Fi
years later he was sentenced to Sli
Sing for forgery.
Five years ago Bice was sued for c
vorce by his wife, who was a Mi
Frances Drake. At that time he plea
ed that he was a bigamist and thi
therefore the second Mrs. Bice sv
not his lawful spouse. He said th
he had married hi- first wife on tl
train which was taking him to Sii
Sing, and did not know whether si
was living or ?lend.
Since his last term in jail Bice hi
announced his determination of "goit
straight," and has returned to W
Street as a broker of mining stocks.
