"J0KER" IN THE CONTRACTS
n. o. Young on Trial on Charge Of
Running a Fake Employ
nent AuencV

H. o. Young was tried yesterday be-
fore Police Justice Chambers for run
ming an alleged fake employment
agency in the Thorpe building.
Young conducted his business under
the name of the Commercial Brokers
association, and it was said that he did
a rushing business and coined money.
According to the police, his method
of operation was to collect all the
money he could from applicants for
positions and send them to places
which were not as he represented them
to be. He tried to protect himself from
criminal action by making each appli-
cant sign contract which contained
a little "joker," to the effect that the
association would try to find a place
for the applicant.
Counsel for the defendant endeavored
TO show that Young was acting in good
faith, and while not guaranteeing situ-
ations he did his best to find them for
his clients.
Justice Chambers took the case under
advisement and probably will give his
decision this morning.

THE TRACK
Spanish Woman's Application for an
Interpreter Found to Relate Mere-
Iy to Purchase of ShrImps and
Garlic

This woman wants to find some
body who speaks Spanish" said o
pretty young woman. with a big apron
covering the entire front of her dress,
as she stood in front of the detectives
office at the central police station yes
terday afternoon.
The Spanish woman was dressed in
black, had an air of mystery about
her, and several persons gathered
about in the expectation of hearing a
sensational story.
Detective Kelly hustled around for
an officer who could speak Spanish.
Finally Tom Rico was found at the
other end of the station, and the en-
tire party walked over to where he
was standing.
"Tom, this lady has something i'm
portant to tell us about but she can't
speak a word of English said Kelly.
Rico first asked the other woman If
she had anything to say, and upon
receiving a negative reply, he began
to question the one in black, who wore
an air of Importance.
Come, now, tell us your trouble, -
began the officer coaxingly, in his best
Spanish.
The woman started to pour forth her
story, and as she did so the officer be-
gan to smile.
Translated the Story
"This woman wants to purchase
some dried shrimps of the woman
there, who runs delicacy store around
the corner" he said. "She wants me
to ask the clerk If she keeps shrimps
and garlic. That is the whole story"
After finding out through the in
terpreter that the desired articles were
not kept in stock, the old woman in
black left the station.
"I eoulo have told you she wanted
to buy something from me, If you had
only asked me-" smiled the saleswo-
man, smoothing her apron and nodding
thanks to the officer as she tripped up
