YOUNG MAN PASSES
BOGUS CHE
and Lives on Change
of Worthless Papers
STAYS OUT LATE

Meyer Boog, seventeen year-ol I'D
boy, is at the Park police station,
charged with forgery. Because his
parents objected to his staying out late
at nights young Boog left his home a
week ago and has existed since on
money derived from the writing OF
fictitious checks. His work was crude
and yesterday afternoon he was ar
rested by Policeman Black on the COM
plant of Gutfeld Bros. haberdashers
on Eddy street, near Fillmore. on whom
he passed a bit of worthless paper
calling for $3.50.
Young Boog went to a party last
week with number of young folk
He did not arrive at home until the
small hours of the morning and then
found the door locked Repeated
knocking failed to open the portal.
and, incensed at his parents actions.
Boog left. swearing never to enter the
house again.
The young fellow soon found that
he needed money and fell upon the
happy thought of writing for IT. His
penmanship was shaky, but his victims
were not overly scrutinizing and the
pieces OF paper passed muster. He
gave checks to Julestein Bros. printers
on Eddy street, near Buchanan, and
Frank & Parodi, florists on McAllister
street. near Fillmore. From the first
named firm he secured $1.50 worth of
cards. From the florists he purchased
a flower pot. In each case he gave
a check calling for $40 and received
the change.
Friday he bought shirt and necktie
from Gutfeld Bros. and gave a bogus
check for $3.50. The check was made
payable to A. Cohn and signed S. M.
Kellogg s. Co. He fadorsed the paper
with the name of A. Cohn. The paper
was sent to the State Savings and Com
mercial Bank. Yesterday 1t came back
with the ominous inscription mo ac-
count"
Young Boog cried rast night when
he told his story. He denied that he
spent the money on young lady or
that there was a woman in the case.
His friends, however, hint at fair
haired young damsel as the cause of
the boys downfall. He repents his
act and says that if he gets free he
Will never try his hand at penmanship
again.

who lives at S43 Hayes street, is fruit

w oman Schemer Dupes
Former Head of One
of the Relief Sections
GETS S15O CHECK

About July % check for $3.50 was
drawn by the rehabilitation commit
tee for the relief of Ida Lottie and
Angela Boips. In due course of time
it was cashed at the bank, but not by
any of the Miss Boinses. for they neven
received it. A good description Of the
woman who impersonatcd Ida Boins,.
who was to have received the money
for herself and sisters, has been Sc
cured, but that is all the committee
has to show for its money. The check
was given to the woman by d. L. Flynt,
formerly chairman OF section l. of the
relief districts of the city.
The Boins sisters are Woodworking
girls. Ida was for a time in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Eugene e. Schmitz wife of
the Mayor. Before the fire the three
had saved enough to establish them
selves in q lodging-house. All they
had invested they lost in the fire. They
found refuge In the camp at the Pre-
,sidio.
In course of time $50 was voted
them to enable them TO start a restau
rant. "A check for $3.50 was sent to
Fiynt to be handed to Ida Boins as
representative Of the three.
On July 27 woman, representing
herself as Ida Boins, presented herself
and demanded the check. Flynt un-.
hesitatingly gave 1t to her. Seven days
later the real Ida Boins appeared.
The woman who successfully imper-
sonated Miss Boins is said to be about
95 years of age. blonde, medium height
and rather well dressed. On this de-
scription hunt is being made for her..
A new check was drawn yesterday in
Miss Boins,s favor. She will get 1er
money, Monday, maybe.

TO RAISE SS0,0OO.O0

When Henry j. Mccoy, general secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian As

from the trust magnates of the East
toward the erection of new Y. M. {. A.
building In San Francisco and induced
Morris K. Jessup. president of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, ito become
chairman of q committee of prominent
Fasteners formed for the purpose of
one of the most remarkable canyasses
in the history of the association In this
country.
Departing from San Francisco with

of Norris X. Jessup, subscription of
$250,00o from John d. Rockefeller, a
substantial subscription from j. p.

If he had difficulty In raising enough
money, and with the names OF almost
all of the important men of the East
attached to his list and credited with
substantial subscriptions. All this in
the face of the prophecies Of we'll

he would never raise funds in the East

fund would never part with another
cent
SOON TO GO EAST AGAIN.
And now Mccoy Announces that IN
East again with the object of raising
$50, 900 necessary to bring the fund 1or
a new building up to 100000.
At the banquet the association TEN
dered to Mccoy Friday evening he told
the members of the association how he
had conducted his canvass in th.. East.
He told how he had difficulty in secui :
ing Jessup as chairman OF his COM
mittee, owing to his desire to gradually
withdraw from the public gaze and en-
Joy his coming old age. He also told
of the apparent readiness with which
the "oil king''-in spite of his contribu-
tion to the relief fund-subscrlbed half
of the required fund, and of the casi-
ness with which most OF the other slib-
scribers were induced to place their
names on the list. He expressed the
opinion that his second trip East would
bring forth satisfying results and hat
the work of rebuilding a hands ONE
structure on the old site at Mason and
Ellis streets would soon be under way.
Now IN THE MISSION.
The present Y. NJ. C. =. is located a.
1925 Mission street, and there the work
of the association, in spite OF cramped
quarters, is being. carried on In all It's
branches. The building, before the as
ISOLATION took hold of II after April is,
was a small dwelling ho1se used by the
