OlDPN TRNHmLY Be REVIVED

{ 1t may once more be ease Of
standing in line for the payer with
some Of the local railway employees
before long to receive the months
wages in solid cash rather than by
checks. In short, the old paytrain
system is already being revised by
eastern roads and may eventually
be taken up by all the western
lines. In the early history Of
western railroading the pay train
was common. In fact, the rail-
road which paid in checks was
an exception. In those days it was
necessary to handle large sums of
cash, rs most of the branch lines
were in new communities, where
there was little or no ready money
with which checks might be made
good. But with the growth of
the country, especially in the
west, the use Of the pay train has
been altogether Abandoned

there only a few minutes when l

he said, and he arose and went
through tho reception room. The
next instant two men with hand
kerchiets over their eyes entered
the room in which l was seated
and before l could utter sound
one of the men caught me- about
the throat and choked me until
was almost unconscious. He then
beat me over the head with his
fists. In the meantime his COM
panion knelt on the floor and cut
ting my stocking with knife,
took a little bag containing two
purses. There was $1,756 in the
purses.
when l recovered I forgot my
previous fear, and thinking only
of my loss, l called to DR.. Sessing-
err that was robbed and ran to
the door. l almost ran into him
where he was tied to the door
knob. l quickly released him and
implored him to run for policemen.

Made Office Boy President
OF Fake Insurance Cos.

PHILADELPHIA, July 81
''Be good and you'll be president"
This is the advice every Ameri-
can boy has been getting for a
century. It's good advice, too,
but Joseph Malschick didn't take
it. He reversed it.
"Be bad and you'll be president
of an insurance company" was
his motto.
But Joseph is under arrest, to-
gether with his patron, David
Balaity, and his business associ-
ate, Charles Weinberg.
They are accused of operating
fake fire insurance companies.
Balaity was the head and brains
of the combination, which is
charged with having conducted IA
paper companies, whose premi-
ums amounted to $4,000 a
month. Total collections are said
to have reached quarter of a
million before the police stopped
the business.
Malschick was $5-a-week
office boy, but Balaity made him
president of one of his com
panies. He signed papers he
knew nothing about, got his little
pay check regularly and asked nc
questions.
The president of another OF
Balaity's companies was Herman
S. Robinson, by trade a painter
but by profession something of an
artist, according to his story. He
says he was picked up off the
street by Balaity, put in an in.
