Money Proves to Be Confederate and Of
No Value.
Waterloo, July 16.-Wouldn't is dis
appoint you to pick up purse con-
tanning $1.222 in crisp bills, only to
find upon investigation that the money
was issued by the government of the
confederacy during the late unpleas-
antness in this country?
That is the experience that happen
ed to William North yesterday after
noon, while he was unloading a car
of coke in the fuel yards of G. W.
Bum on Lafayette street. Mr.. North
picked up the purse while he was at
work and when he investigated his
find his eyes opened to their greatest
extent when he saw the apparent
wealth before him. In the lot of
bills there were two $500 bills, two 500
bills and two bills for the denomination
of 81.
But alas and alack all this new
found wealth was confederate and Mr.
North stands ready to return it to
the owner If he values his property.
The car of coke had been shipped
from point in Indiana and there is
nothing about the purse or its con-
tents to indicate its owner.

Mason City, July 16.-George Chichis.
interpreter for the Greeks at the ce-
ment plant, is under arrest on informa-
ton sworn out by Deputy Labor Com
missioner L. Van Week. of Waterloo.
The information charges Chinchis with
entering into an agreement with one
Pathedora without furnishing and de-
livering to said Pathedora a true md
full copy of contract specifying the
fee or consideration to be paid nv
said Pathedora." This was a contract
by which Pathedora was to be given
a job at the cement plant by Chichls.
Chichis is said to be making i'm
mense sums from his countrymen at
1he cement plant by charging them
large sums to get them work there and
1hen by monthly collections which they
pay MIN IN order to hold the jobs after
they once get them. Gust Skondras
said this morning that many of the
Greeks had complained to him regard
ing the treatment they have been re-
celving at the hands of Chichis and

Chichis is making from $500 to $3.50
month in his position at the cement
plant
1t is alleged that he is many things
besides their interpreter and that in
addition to being their labor agent he
furnishes them with their groceries
and other commodities from all CT
which transactions it is alleged that
he profits in considerable way. A
great many of the Greeks have COM
planned about the matter and the
charges against him were finally put
in the hands of Deputy Commissioner
Van Week, last nights arrest result
ing.
According to the labor laws of the
state labor agent must give a. COPY
OF an agreement concerning the fee
which he is to receive for getting
the man Job, into the hands Of that
man. 1t is said Chichis has in every
case failed to do this and Commits
sioner Van Week says that he will
turn every stone to make the Greek
interpreter obey the laws and punish
him If he does not obey them.
