TURNED HIM LOOSE
MR.. JOHNSON-POKER DAVIS
COOKED HIS GOOSE
Gone Away in a Caboose-Prosecution
Was No Use-Mr.
johnson?

When James E. Johnson's name was
called in Justice owens court yesterday
as a witness in the case of the People VS..
John Howard and William Dale, echo
answered nit
Howard and Dale are the two enter
prising "drummers" for the wholesale
bunco-steering house of Poker Davis &
Co., who approached Mr.. Johnson from
Arizona with the idea of buying his
mine, on the what is thine may be mine"
principle. The usual adjournment to
the wealthy capitalists residence at
4311s South Spring street, followed,
where the two loving nephews discov-
cred that uncle had only just stepped
out to the postoffice." Now a quiet
quadrangular game Of poker with easy
stakes is just the thing to pass the time.
Then the chestnut. which is, unluckily
for the sucker, always fresh, was fried
once more. Uncle" dropped in from the
postoffice, the mine story was dropped
in the excitement and Johnson incident
ally dropped $140. Unlike most suckers,
however, Johnson didn't squeal at once,
but when the confiding nephews had
the temerity to strike him again on
New High street, this was the last straw
to break the camel's back. Johnson
called at the police station and Detec-
tives Hawley and Auble arrested the
culprits. johnson of course was sub
poenaed to appear and has, to all out
ward appearances been anxiously await
ing for his chance to get doublebar-
relied revenge.
Monday night at o'clock Johnson re-
ported to the police that he would be on
hand at the appointed hour, and left for
his room in the Chicago lodging house.
A visitor, supposed to be member of
the gang, called at 10 o'clock, and at
o'clock this morning Johnson had dis
appeared, leaving absolutely. no trace
as to his present whereabouts. There is
no doubt that he has been bought out by
the gang and handed back his money to
leave the locality. The jury Of twelve
men which was demanded by the two
defendants was of course discharged, but
the hearing was continued. In the
meantime an attachment was issued for
the delinquent witness to show cause
why he should not be severely dealt with
for contempt of court. The officers are
heartily disgusted with Johnson's be-
havior, as he showed such an earnest de-
sire to see the sharpers punished; not,
as he explained, for the sake of the
filthy lucre,' but as matter of princi-
pie. It Is likely that he will be made an
example of If arrested, as these periodi-
cal complaints and absconding witnesses
are getting too frequent and are entirely
too expensive for the city's amusement.

One Hundred Thousand Hustling
Youngsters in New York.
In New York City there are said to
be more than 100000 laboring children.
Their occupations are many and va
ried, ranging from making dresses to
running errands, and from keeping
books to blocking boots. BOotblacking
was once the easiest entry into the
world of business for the poorest boys;
but this industry, too, has felt the in
fluence of foreign competition, and the
adult Italian, with his comfortable
Lair and elaborate outfit, has almost
monopolized the polishing business.
Thanks to the enterprise of our great
daily papers. and to the Omnivorous
reading of them by our American pub
lie, the business of newspaper selling
enlists thousands of boys. Our ears, as
we walk or ride downtown, have but
too much reason to testify to the en-
ergy with which newsboys drive their
traffic; and in spite of the small price
of each paper, their profits are by no
means inconsiderable. l have met,

Philadelphia, whose earnings from this
source amount to 81. So and even SO per

ents, or widowed mother, and younger
brothers and sisters, to whose support
. cir earnings must be contributed.
But many others, who are friendless
nd homeless. waste their substance,
playing recklessly in policy games, or
purchasing admission to the cheap
