Vass Refuse Work in Greeley
hen is a vag not a yag?

When Is NaS not NaS
That is a question puzzliug the
police department and it bears heav-
ily on the order against loating on
the street corners
AS an example oil the conditions
confronting the police in carrying out
the order to Keep idle men from con
gregating on the street corners the
experience OF George Srubel, well
known contractor. may be cited. This
morning ne was in need OF eight men
TO work in cement. He offered 20
cents an hour for the work. Exactly
- men lounging about the corners
down town were approached and
offered jobs, but there was not stu
gle acceptanca.
If the police should arrest any OF
these men as yagrants or they should
be ordered to leave town, the larm-
ers would send up protest against
such procedure on the grounds that
il would be driving labor from the
county at time when it was mos
needed. on the other hand, if would
appear as though the idle are so ex-
tremely critical as TO the work they
do that they are practically worth
less to the community that needs
men with good strong backs and
energy enough to exert themselves
between meals.
The idle men are aware that there
is a keen demand for labor at the
present season and hold themselves
so high that they seorn ordinary JOBS
that probably Will appeal TO them
later on in the winter.
Meanwhile the problem OF idle
men loating on the corners while
honest work is going begging is vex-
ing TO the city authorities and farm
ers alike.

 "At the Jackson Theatre, which has we have the most remarkable clientele of women fheatre-goera in the country The first time I saw them gather be- fore the entrance, I wondered whether 1t was a Monday morning bargain sale had stumbled on, or 8 club meeting.

For a mediocre attractions. thank you, shirt waist and tailored suit is good enough.

GAGER REFUSES,
 PROBATION TO
 BOY CHAUFFEUR

"A boy has no right to presume that because he can run an automobile he is privileged to take any car he happens to see'', said Judge Gager in the Superior Court today, passing sem tence upon 19 year old Harry Duff, a well dressed Greenwich chauffeur who was charged with taking a mo- tor vehicle without permission of the owner. He pleaded guilty.
 The boy's lawyer asked the court to avail itself of the prerogative of placing the boy incharge of the pro- bation officer. Judge Gager exam fned the law and found that the ni1a- imurn punishment provided for the offence was six months in jail He was not satisfied to place the youth in charge of the probation officer. He ordered a second charge of the same nature against the boy dismissed and imposed the nqinimum penalty, six months in jaiL Duff's associate in his escapades, William Clifford, has not yet been tried. / It was represented that the boy has made it practice to take ears left unguarded and drive them about the country, taking passengers at times for which he charged nominal sums.

Judge Eos ter recently discharged. a prisoner he arrested for making 35 miles an hour on the ground that the traffic was such that the driving could not be construed as reckless. Gorgas said today that there was no doubt but that he had the goods before he made this arrest.
 The chauffeur gave the name of Louis R. Spencer, 28, and said he drove for a New York man whose family is spending the summer at Farmington. His home is now in Farmington. Captain Hunt fixed bail at $100 and Spencer had no trouble in producing, the required amount from a bulkyepurse.
 In the car were the wife and clail- dren of his employer, whose name the police did not record. The name of Bliss was mentioned at police headquarters as that ow the owner of the car.
