SCOTLAND YARD SLEUTH.
In Kansas City With Government
Detective Looking for Swindlers.
Seeking some trace of a band of swindlers who have operated extensively in England, Canada and parts of the United States the past two years, Frank C. Crane of Washington, a detective in the employe of the United States secret service, and W. R. Worth, a Scotland Yard sleuth, are in Kansas City.
Crane would not discuss his mission last night, fearing that publicity might injure the chances of getting a clew to the whereabouts of the much wanted crooks if they are in Kansas City, and it is thought that they are. The use of the mails for fraudulent purposes has made the pursuit of the swindlers an international affaire.
