train on which the murder was COM
mitted said that when he first ques-
toned Devine he said that has name
was John Mood. The man was dazed
when he made this first answer, and
then, as tho suddenly remembering
something, he cried OUT:
stOh, no; it ism It that. Devine is
nv name-J ohm Devine.'
Devine from that time on, took every
opportunity to tell those around him
that his name was not Mood and that
he had no home. He still sticks to his
story, and says he has never had fam
lily and has been a wanderer for sew.

made the deputies suspicious, and they

CHICAGO LAD BIT
ON WATCH GAME
MADE WHOLLY UNNECESSARY
VISIT TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Came All the Way from Wicked City
Where the Wind Blows and the Fakir
Fakes, to Lose Money in an Auction
shop-Mayor May Revoke Dealers
License.

Instructions were issued by Mayor
D. p. Jones today to Samuel Halperin,
the auctioneer and jeweler at 115 Wash
ington avenue s, to keep his shop closed
until further notice. The mayor wants
to investigate Mr.. Halperin's business
methods little more closely, and if
his record, shows up too strong, his
He will be minus the fair-week bust
ness at the best.
The administration is somewhat sur
prised that it is compelled to discipline
the auction shops again. When Mayor
Jones took charge Of the police de-
partment, one of his first moves was TO
order a campaign against the fake
auction houses, and as the result, two OF
three were closed entirely and others
were compelled to confne themselves
to legitimate business.
The complaint which prompted sum ~
mary action was brought in by Chi
cago boy who was on his way to the
harvest fields in North Dakota. He
had been lured into watch deal in
| which he was badly worsted. TO have
Chicago boy as sucker for watch
| game was too much for the mayor s
sense Of humor, and he could not re-
frain from having some fun at the
| young man 8 expense.
The victim was ,thoroly ashamed thai
he should "bite': on a Skin game s a
creek, after spending his life in the
city where the fakir s game is stronger
than anywhere else in the world. he
admitted that he was properly butt
for ridicule, and expressed the hope
that his friends and relatives in Chi
cago would forgive him if they eve:
heard how he was taken in.

WAS THE KEYSTONE
Not the Trident Meter Which the City
Bought Recently.

It was stated in The Journal
recently that the city had purchased
5000 Trident water meters for $e.75
quoted at Dayton, Ohio, was $685.
The information on which the state.
ment was based was incorrect. It was
the keystone meter in which the wa
terworks, committee invested so heavi.
ly, and it was the Pittsburg Meter com
pany which made the $685. price at
Dayton. The Neptune Meter company
which controls the Trident meter, says
that it has never offered to sell meters
to Minneapolis for $6.75 nor sold any
to Dayton for $685..
