IS in A TRAP
HELD UP POOR PEOPLE FOR
SMALL SUMS.
Driver of a Delivery Wagon Charged
City's Wards for Hauling Wood Sent
by Poor Department Mayor Jones
and Superintendent Barton in an In
dignant Frame of Mind.

/, Petty larceny graft with proteges Of
the poor department as it's victims has
been discovered by Superintendent W..
Il. Barton of the poor department.
Poor. people who have been given wood
by the department have been held up
Tor small amounts, ranging from 10
cents to IS cents, by the driver making
the delivery.
After investigating sc veral com.
that in all cases the graft could.be laid
at the door of certain driver for. a
fuel company with which the depart
ment does considerable business. The
driver g method Of doing business was
to compel his victim to pay a small
amount or refuse to deliver the wood.
One victim, Mrs. Parsons, 2116 Twenty
fourth avenue S, had but cents in the
house when the driver made demand
for 10 cents for delivering a load of
wood sent her by the department.. She
was all she had, and begged him to
leave the wood. She was finally COM
PEELED to go to a neighbor and borrow
5 cents more. " ri =. '--.,'%rst
Superintendent Barton presented the
matter to Mayor Jones with the result
that the fuel company was Informed OF
the condition of affairs and requested
to discharge the employee. The com:
pany replied that the man was hard
drinker, that he had family to sup
port and that it would be better to
give him another chance. -
Mr.. Barton said today that unless the
man is discharged the city will prose-
cute. The amounts collected have been
small in all cases, but never less than
10 cents. He collected as much above
this as he thought his victim would
stand. 49,
When making a&"touch" he gener
ally said, "they told me to collect fol

From time to time you may have no.
ticed in these columns some pic
lures bearing the name of The Savings
Bank Of Minneapolis.
The pictures try to tell the story Of
two lives, one Of thrift and the other Of
waste: what frightful misery the latter
contains, and how much comfort and
respectability the former.
The booklet from which the pictures
are taken tells the story connectedly
and therefore with far greater vivid
ness.
A parent who wishes to teach child
the full meaning of thrift, all that comes
of thrift, and on the other hand what
comes Of waste and the careless use Of
money, can hardly find a better text
book than, this pictorial booklet filled
with such telling contrasts.
There is reason to believe that many
have felt it's influence and have acted.
