Mayor Kiefer Isn't Making Much
Roadway in His Investigation.

Mayor Kiefer is getting little assistance in
the investigation of the confidence game by
which his friend, Carl Bruner, claims to
have lost SO at Joseph Bernhardt's cloth

ago. The mayor it is said. is keeping Bruner
in the city at his own expense in order to
get at the bottom of the affair, but it is
claimed that the police and other officials
are not over exerting themselves to open up
the investigation.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of
the alleged guilty parties last Monday but
for some reason service delayed until
yesterday. when. Louis Sllberstein was ar

Mr.. Chamberlin estimated that that

Mr.. ChamberIin described some Of The
hoid-ups that the newspaper dispatch
boats were subjected to, both on sea and

prices: sailors and men who worked the
ships had q corner on labor, and alto
gether the newspapers were easy mark
ers'' for the sharker. who had them at
their mercy. The cable companies were,
as a rule as bad as the merchants. Mr.
Chamberlin talked about the press censor

had held up dispatches which had cost
newspapers thousands of dollars. In
many cases these hold-ups were unwar-
