Trouble Separating Him from
His ShekelS
(TimeS-Union, 5th)

If true, what promises 10 be one OF
the shrewdest swindling schemes ever
pulled off in Florida was brought to
light early last night, when a man
giving his name as r. F. Mewhirter OF
Ocala, reported to the police the alleg-
ed loss of $500 by a gang of confidence
men whom he met in Tampa Friday.
AS soon as the case was reported at
police headquarters the machinery of
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1911-02-06

the department was set in motion and
one of the alleged swindlers was
caught at the union passenger station
by Officers Lord and j. F. Davis as he
was attempting to purchase ticket
for a point in South Florida.
The man gave his name at headquar-
tiers as Paul Roberts of Baltimore. Md.
and in spite of a searching eXamina-
ton refused to talk in any way about
the matter.
According to the story Mewhirter
told the police, he met the man ar
rested here and two others in Tampa
last Friday. one of whom claimed to
De a booKmaker operating at the Tam
pa track. During the conversation,
the subject of horse racing arose and
Mewhirter stated that he intended to
place a bet of 500 on a certain horse
to win at the races there during that
afternoon.
One of the men. Mewhirter said,
sured him that there was no doubt but
that the horse would win and urged
him to place $1,000 on the mount in
stead of 500. To this proposition Me
whirter says that he demurred, stat
ing to his acquaintance that he only
had $500. which was deposited TO his
credit in an Ocala bank.
After a good deal of coercion, Me-
whirter says that he was persuaded to
write a check for $1,000. which he plac-
ed on the horse, together with a roll
Of money handed TO him by the men to
| be put up with his bet and which was
supposed to contain $4,000.
| This amount. says Mewnirter. was
| placed in the hands of an alleged book
maker and he was later Informed that
his horse had won. but the man with
| whom he placed the bet refused TO pay
over the winnings. which amounted 10
sIS.300. on a three TO one shot" until
! the cash was produced which the
check represented.
Mewhirter further says that he
could not raise the necessary $1,000.
and one of the party finally offered 10

draw on his account. It was arrang-

REAPING THE wHIRLwIND

Grand Rapids is having her troubles,
the strike is still on, two thousand or
more men are not working, while there
are Jobs waiting for every one at good
wages and the manufacturers are anX-
ious To take them back. Business in
many lines is greatly disrupted and a
spirit of unrest and uneasiness exists
lest there should be an outbreak of law
lessness and damage to life and property.
The strikers have detailed "pickets" TO
stand guard at some of the factories TO
keep "union men" in line and solicit
the ''scabn workmen TO join them.
Mayor Ellis is having strenuous time
trying to keep the saloons and drinking
clubs closed which are great source of
annoyance and menace during labor
troubles, if not the real underlying cause
of the trouble itself. In speaking to a
large meeting of strikers recently the
mayor said ga workman in the Valley
City plant, lies seriously injured as a
result of lawlessness and booze. This
boy in the cell says he is a union man
and his deeds reflect upon each one Of
you. Instead of picketing factories
tell you il would be better if you picket
the saloons and keep your men from
going in. 1t may be that this first
trouble will be lesson and came here
merely TO tell you in the beginning we
must have order, that rioting cannot be
allowed
All the so called 'ssocial clubs" where
booze is dispensed have been ordered by
the mayor TO close while the strike is
on. The Peninsular Club, high toned,
broke the law, S. S. Walker a member
of the police board and also member
of the club, told the bartender TO go
ahead and serve drinks, which he did,
by this ii Will be seen that the saloon in
high life as well as the common every
day one, is law breaker. Mayor Ellis
discharged Walker, and said, sit may
just as well be understood first as last
l mean business on this liquor question,
the clubs, every one of them, must keep
their bars closed while the strike lasts
if it takes year" Grand Rapids is
having strenuous time in all lines of
activity; 1t is on the anxious seat as TO
the outcome, thousands of dollars are
being lost every day to both working
man and business man.
A year ago Grand Rapids had an OPP
portunity in the elections of eliminating
one of the prime factors in the strike
one of the elements of discord and q
menace 10 its legitimate business-the
open saloon and liquor traffic. Many
of its merchants and manufacturers
voted TO retain this breeder of trouble
and menace to society and property.
Grand Rapids sowed TO the wind, it
is now reaping the whirlwind.
