"Where is that2"
"At Bill Baker's, on Front row.
He keeps a snack house, you know,
and lets q fellow sleep on the ho1r for

him bunk. Pretty tough place, but
when a fellow has not got much
money he has to stand that kind Of
thing. There's plenty in that fix.
Sometimes as many as twenty are
sleeping on the Il or in Bits"
"But how is 1t they get money p
"Iu way think the police ought
70 know something about. There's
couple Of hard little kids there-well,
they are not so small either, but they
are tough-who do their begging for
them. A lot OF the gang got some
croion-oil somewhere and rubbed q
little on the boys arms until 1t
raised blister and then sent them
out to beg. 1t makes an awful ugly
looking place, q good deal like burn.
and some days the boys have pretty
good luck. Sometimes they get az
much as "a a piece. One Of them came
in with only 90 cents the other day,
though, aud they banged tho liie
nearly out OF him. The gang vas
afraid Of bHipg taken in on the 'vag,

Ragged the stove and sent the boys
out to DO the begging"
Mr.. Bland told the police OF the
tramp's story. and Sergeant Kunholz
and Officer Hedrick we're. detailed to
work II no. The tramp who was
found by Officer Hedrick grew silent
as soon ~ he was approached upon
the subject, though he finally repeat
ed the same story in substance. He
said he was afraid 20 speak and tell all
he knew, az the crowd was . tough
one and might hurt him. To Sergeant
Kunholz, Bill Baker. denied that the
practice was going on, but said he
heard that the dodgers at his house
were rubbing something on q boys
ann u fsw days ago, and sent for q
policeman but could not find one.
Chief Davis sald he bad been asked
for "money for bed" by boy who
displayed a sore arm, and told him TO

to talk to some one, and before he had
gone n block further he met the same
youngster and gave him q sound talk

except that he was bound on other
important business. 1t Is very likely
that in view of the story published
above, which they believe, taat the
police will be more rigid in their in.
spection OF the snack-houses and
other dives along the river front. A
great deal cannot be done during this
extreme cold weather, but they will
insist that keepers OF lodging. houses

told the members of his familyto help

Smith then selected couple OF razors
and pair OF suspenders and told
Traxler to skip. He did not stand on
