Before Owen T. Moses--who fur

got away from Chicago, he had dis
posed of $4,000 suits, and had trans
acted business with more than $780,.
600 customers in every State in the

This estimate of the number of his
victims under his various aliases is
regarded conservative by Postoffice
Inspector James e. Stuart and his as
sistant, George A. Powell, who has
beeu on the case at intervals for the
last six years.
He started the endless chain of sell
ing suits by securing comparatively
small list of names, chiefly from vii
lagos through advertising in 10 cents
year publications. To persons whC
asked for further particulars, he sen
a book OF five stamps which wer'
to be sold to other persons at 2Ot

established by Moses the original pur
chaser wa entitled to suit o
clothes for so cents after the endless
chain had worked itself out of de

Moses about $120 for each suit h
| sold for apparently 50 cents.
He was able to furnish perfectl

rate under the circumstances, bu

ALTON WILL BUILD ON
LIBERTY STREET SITE
IF GIVEN MORE Time


Parks C. Archer, General Claim
agent Of the Chicago & Alton, on
the Western Division OF the road
with offices here, is in receipt Of a
letter from the Roads headquarters
regarding the recent movement on
the part of the city government to
open up Liberty street in the yiein-
ity Of the Alton freight depot which
ground has been given for the erec-
tion OF new depot. The procrasti-
nation Of the 'oad has resulted in
the movement to again open the
street. The Company states they will
start the work of construction ON 2
new station ON or before Nov, 1910,
and complete it as rapidly as possi-
BILE, making six months the time
limit.
Mr.. Archer, when seen by rep
resentative of the Ledger said: "The
first knew of this movement to
again upon the street was when the
newspapers drew my attention to it.
The expense of the road this year
and the fact the appropriation for
such work for 1909 has been ex
pended naturally precludes the
building of the freight station this
year. The assurance / have from
the management of the road | trust
will be ample for the council to re
consider their intended action re
garding the opening of the street
and defer matters until the time linn
it stated by the Company has ex
pired.
The management of the road II
very favorable to Mexico and | hop'
the future will bring us many goot
things. AS | am now a resident O
Mexico, he welfare of the city is o.
course my interest. The work o
construction will likely start mex
July, if the city takes no further ac
tlon in the matter"
