The charge against Young is that he
has been accepting fees from various
applicants for positions and that he
does not have the positions which he
claims to have.
Calls II a Bunco Game
ITS simple game of bunco," said
officer Ingram. You pay your fee and
that is the last you see Of your money.
We challenged him to prove that he
had one position open which could be
filled by these various applicants who
paid him all the way from So to So.
This is not the only place in town do
ing bushes under such conditions and
we will get after Others shortly"
The police say that Young Is very
smooth operator and he tries to pro-
tect himself by making each applicant
for position sign a contract and then
give him a fee of several dollars, all
the victim will stand.
+. NJ. Cook is the young man who
swore to tho complaint and this is the
story he tells:
II saw an advertisement in a morn
ing paper yesterday OF the Commercial
Brokers' association. 1t said there was
an opening for a collector, wages S12 to
SIS week. i went to the offices in the
Thorpe building on North Broa dway
ard met this Mr.. Young
He made me sign all application and
contract and / gave him $3.50. He told
me of the opening and said that 1t
would pay S12 a week at the start. l
went down there and found that a
secret benefit association wanted men
to work on commission

S. for a job and he got nothing. He
was told to see a certain man, and
found that he wanted a partner to in
vest money. He didn't want to hire a
man."
Chief Prosecutor Beebe says that such
employment bureaus are fakes and
that the men running them are obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
There are, of course, plenty of re-
liable agencies which furnish positions,
the police say, and there is no fault
found with them. But the fake agencies
are to be prosecuted severely, as the
police think that a firm which would
accept money from poor man looking
for work, knowing that they cannot
furnish a situation, should be prose-
cuted.
The offices of the Commercial
Brokers' association are at AL. Alp and
Ais Thorpe building and are deliberately
fitted up. At all hours Of the day there
have been crowds waiting there, and
Young must have reaped a golden har-
vest.
He claims that he was running a
strictly honest agency and that he
never agreed to furnish an actual
position but to aid the applicant in
securing such a position.

BUSINESS KEEPS GOOD

NEW YORK. February PR. G. Dun

morrow will say:
Holidays and erratic weather were cal
culated to interrupt progress In comeler-
cial channels, but business has become
established on too sound basis to re-
feet adverse influences of such a tenn
porary character. Sections that expe-
rienced especially high temperature re-,
port the early opening of spring lines
with most satisfactory results; excessive.
moisture elsewhere proved beneficial for
manufacturing purposes. while at other
points seasonable merchandise was dis
tributed freely. Manufacturing plants
report new orders that assure activity
still further into the future. and several
dividend announcements show gains over
recent preceding years, while some New
England cotton mills are only deferred
from full activity by scarcity of labor
Railway earnings continue to make SPLEEN

BURNS CLAIMS

Decisively Ontpointed Hart and
Got Decision at End of
Twentieth Round.
HE. ouTF0UGHT BIGGER MAN.
Outgeneralea His Opponent and
Beat Him at the Boxing
Game.
stBy Associated Press,

Los ANGELES. CAL, February 23.-By
these who took Marvin Hart's claim to
the world's championship title seriously.
Tommy Burns, of Chicago, may now be
considered the heavyweight champion.
Burns decisively o,itpointed Hart tonight
at the Pacific Athletic Club pavilion, and
got the decision at the end of the TWEEN
tieth round.
From start TO finish, with6the possible
exception of the rtlisahl The twelfth
rounds, Wien Hart hrl ~ very
small advantage, Burns outfought the
bigger man. outgeneraled him, and beat
him at every point III the game of boxing.
Handicapped in Weight.
AT times Burns, although handicapped
in weight and height. made Hart look
like novice,
In the opening round Burns was very
nervous and lacked confidence After
this, however, lie quickly sized Hart up
and began systematic attack on his face
and body with. atrsstHht- lefts,=.In=the third
round he started blood flowing from Harris
nose and. kept 1t running in almost every
round thereafter. In the fifth Burns
caught Hart over the right eye, and In
the following rounds battered the optic
~ u it was closed The left eye also
WIS badly marked. and Hart's face pre-
sented u bloody sight practically through
out the fight.
No Championship Form.
Hart failed to show any championship
form of any sort. His persistent attempts
to roll2li t.1ip the clincies earned the
dIsapproYal of the crowd. which appeared
to be with Burns almost TO a NOR. Buns
style of attack was to shoe. his lief. to
the face or the body and step inside
of Harris swings. allowing then, to go
around his neck or duckins them, en-
trely Hart simply could not land on
Burns. and toward the latter part nj the
fight tried hard to rough 1t and wearing
Burns out by using his weight i'll tile
clinches.
The fight was tiresome. one touni beirg
mucht like the preceding and following
ones. In ythe1foGrteenth Burns appeared
to have al chance to knock Hart out
He caught the bigger man on right
and left jaw that sent him staggering
for moment Quickly seizinE his adj
vantage. Burns hammered Hart about
the face and head until he forced him
to cover-sup and give ground.
Tried to Corner Opponent.
In the last few rounds. seeing the tide
OF the battle going against him. Hart
urged by his chief seconds Tommy Ryan,
tried desperately To corner his quick
wi,ted opponent an. secure n knockont.'
Every attempt failed, however. and every
rnnnd increased Burns's lead,
Hart weighed about 1876. while Burnss
weight was given as l75. Jack CTwin)
Sullivan, was Burnss chief second. THE
betting was 9 toa1 on Hart and even
money that Hart would win In ten rounds.

lately. The fruit IS now selling between
S. and 1925 a box, an advance of Is cents

tBy Associated 1'ress.)

NEW YORK, February 23.-To-day's
market does not offer much subject for
comment The shrinkage in the volume
of business and the narrowing Of the
limits Of the market In every way were
surprising. The aggregate dealings for
the day fell to n lower level than has been
touched for many months past. Tie high
opening to-day in this market was due
to sympathy with the London market,
which had advanced Americans, while
New York was taking a holiday yester-
day. A notable fact in the sagging OF
prices In the New York Market was the
small offerings OF stocks necessary to
effect II. Some influence In this result
was attributable to the report OF the in
surance investigating committee. The
adoption by the House at Washington of
the resolution of inquiry into coal land
holdings by railroad companies kept alive
the sense OF yigilant guardianship of
corporation affairs on the part of legisla-
tive authorities. A similar influence was
produced by the fixing OF an S0-cent gas
rate for New York city by the New York
State Gas Commission. Rates for time

change rates were higher. The gradual
