HE DECEIVED MANY BUT NOW

For a Time He Did a Thriving Bust

Creditors Of J.. N. Levin, proprietor
Of the International Press association,

and are anxious to collect divers bills.
No trace of the man can be found and
he has not called for his mail tor sew

Levin started the international
Press association about two months
ago and advertised extensively thru
out the United States. He published a
large display advertisement giving an
easy rebus and offering a Kansas
farm as a prize for the first correct
solution, q trip to the worlds fair as
the second prize, and numerous other
prizes. Each contestant was required
to remit 81 with the solution Of the
rebus to pay for a years subscription
to an eastern magazine.
Immediately after the advertise
nent was published the mail began
pouring into Levin's office, and nearly
every letter contained 81. Those who
occupied desks in the same office say
that his receipts were enormous. AT
ter conducting his business for a few
weeks. Levin disappeared and altho
efforts have been made to find him,
they have been futile.
Shortly after Levin's disappear
ance, collectors began calling at the
offices with bills. Letters and postals,
asking why neither one Of the prizes
or the magazine had been delivered
were received, but the postoffice en-
ployees had no forwarding address
and the letters remained unopened
and unanswered in Levins' office.

COLUMBIA TO REOPEN
Aldermen Recommend That License 3
Granted to Chicago Man.

vi QuSSN ~ SuiS0SS M0Us
The Columbia theater is to be re-
opened. Henry Lightner of Chicago has
applied for tieater license at the old
place and has obtained the approval of
the committee on licenses. Lightner IS
unknown here, but Freeman P. Lane, who
appeared in his behalf before the commit
tee this morning, stated that he was en-
gagged in the organization Of theatrical
companies in Chicago, conducting sort of
a dramatic agency He planned to place
the Columbia on vaudeville circuit
which included about twenty houses. Mr..
Lane stated that his client was a man
of excellent character, who had never
been connected with. the liquor business
in any manner nor with any disreputable
place of any kind.
1t was plain business proposition, and,
as there was nothing to indicate that Mr..
Lightner was not acting In good faith,
the license was recommended. sgs5s
John Hart was, however, turned down
at the Park theater for the same old
reason.
"A liquor license was granted to Sam
Joy at the international cafe against the
protests Of the Home Protective assooia-
ton, which maintained that the, private
dining booths constituted Enclosures in
violation Of the wineroom ordinance.

Question Raised as TO Thirty second Ave-
4 nue. Bridge.
The United States government, thru its
war department engineers in st. Paul, has
formally requested Mayor James G.
Haynes to ascertain If the laws Of the
United States regarding the construction
of bridges across navta;able streams has
been complied with In the construction
of the bridge at Thirty-second avenue N.
Now that some one has mentioned it it is
believed that the bridge has been begun
and partially completed without obtaining
the sanction Of Uncle Sam.
1t Is probably only a. fGrmality, but it
may seriously delay the construction Of
the bridge, particularly If the bill has to
be sent thru congress, for that body has
adjourned. Mayor Haynes will turn the
communication over to the council this
evening and an inquiry will promptly be
instituted. .....
