man. was arrested yesterday for obtaining

poyment bureau, operated at 100 North
Illinois street by Charles P. Moore & Co.,

making this Office his headquarters while in
this city, and that Moore is an entirely
different individual Several days ago, how
ever, a man entered the place when neither
of the real operators was in, and Manahan
says that as favor he attended to the
customer and made an engagement with
him for a member of the firm. Behrman
returned later and found the alleged Moore
and closed a deal with him whereby posi-
ton as a collector was obtained. Moore
demanded $25 as a guarantee, in view of
the fact that considerable money would
pass through the hands of the new col
lector. The money was handed over and
now the firm has suspended business and

peared at the police station and told his
story. He had gone to the Office to secure
a position for his son. He was asked for
references, and the $25 deposit was re-
quired. This man did not have the money
with him but left ST. intending to return
