A. Crowthers, alias F. Bowers of
Moline, Davenport and. Rock Island,
was lined up before Police Judge
Campbell this morning charged with.
intoxication He pleaded guilty andI
was given ten days.
But that is less than half the story.
Bowers or Crowthers. has been in the
city for the past week working one OF
the simplest, but most effective little
graft games ever perpetrated on a con-
flding public. In the neighbornood OF
thirty women of the city are sadder
and much wiser as result of Bowers
little visit in the city No charges are
as yet lodged against Bowers, but it IS
expected that there will be before his
sentence expires.
Story Of the Graft.
Bowers blew into the city just a
week ago and registered at the Bee
Hive hotel, giving his residence as
Rock Island He had with him copy
of magazine, the New Era publish
ed in New York. and catalogue OF
premiums, also published by some
New York house, but at the same
time decidedly differing from the pub
fishing address of the New Era"
Thus armed, Bowers started out
looking for innocent victims. He Sc
cured a number of subscriptions for
the magazine, for which he obtained
the modest sum of fifty cents at the
same time promising as a premium any
article represented in the catalogue,
from an umbrella holder to quarter
sawed oak sideboard. The proposition
evidently looked good to about thirty
women and they bit The premiums
were promised to be shipped from
Burlington Immediately upon receipt
| of the order; and the first orders were
to arrive in the city Friday, but they
didn't.
Mrs. A. S. Finnegan POI College
street, one of the victims. became I'M
easy when her cabinet failed to show
/ up, and told the tale to Officer Clar-
enee Crawley. He looked the matter
up Immediately and found Bowers yes
terday afternoon in an intoxicated
condition down on Samantha street.
Says Booze is to Blame.
When up before the Judge this morn-
ing no mention was made of the fraud
ulent dealings, but Bowers got sadly
mixed up in his former residence. He
said he was from Moline, and later,
when questioned, he gave Davenport
as his home. When questioned in his
cell. Bowers claimed that he took the
orders in good faith and that if he
hadn't got drunk he would have sent
for the premiums, He claimed further
that if they would turn him loose he
would send off today for the maya
zines and premiums. When asked
about his two names. he said he was
drunk when he landed here and gave
out that name and thought he had bet
ter stick to it.
When arrested by Officer Crawley,
he evidently was aware that his &C
lions had aroused suspicion, because
he threw away small book of re-
ceipts, showing the list of women
whom he admitted were those who had
accepted his magnanimous offer. The
book was recovered. however, by the
officer, and disclosed the names of the
beguied women.
