Detroit Cafe Owner
Fleeced of Savings
by Confidence Men
(By Associated Press)
DTROIT, April 4.-This is the
'story of a confidence game con-
ceived in Detroit -and executed on!
world wise Broadway to the dis-
comfiture of one Henry Elspas, a,
Gotham restauranteur.
Elspas, who has a restaurant out
where Broadway crosses 102nd St.,
said four Detroiters did him out off
getting $15,000 more, all becausel
he didn't catch on soon enough.j
Elspas was not suspicious when
two men proposed to buy his res-
taurant. It seemed quite natural
for one of the men to find a pdck-l
etbook in a New York hotel and
there didn't seem to be anything
irregular in the owrner's rewarding
them by an "inside tip" on a De-
troit betting syndicate. The tip won
a theoretical $237,000 and Elspas
came here to collect.

'FRONT VMUL NEWS'
Section of San Francisco Paper
' Reproduced in Laboratories
by Automatic Recorder.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y., April 4.-
Delivery of business mail and
even newspapers by radio was seen
as a future possibility by engineers
today after a demonstration of
facsimile transmission of the co-
plete front page of a paper across
the continent.
The first page of the San Fran- -
cisco Call Bulletin was reproduced
full size in a radio laboratory here I-
three hours after it left the press
2,500 miles away Thursday by r
means of a new type automatic
i carbon recorder.t
The recorder, which is still in a
highly experimental stage, can be!
attached to any radio receiving set
like a loud speaker. A roll of I t
paper eight inches wide moves
a ! through the machine at the rate of
one-half inch a minute. The news-
paper page was recorded in three !
strips which were then pasted to-
gether.
The engineers said the model
used was three inches wider than
' the first one made'and they did not
believe that the width was limited
to the present size.
