$4,000 more. To make matters worse,
Miss Daisie Twinkletoes of the chorus
had notified him that unless he gave
her $4,000 she would sue him for
100000 for breach of promise Of mar.
rage and make public his love letters.
"Old Man" Montmorency learned Of
his sons predicament through his
wife's appeal for more money for their
boy.
"Reggie's in troubled" pleaded the
mother. 1--WE must help him."
Eyes, we must help him." said the
steel king. I'VE must send for Roger
O'Mara."
So Roger O'Mara was sent for The
situation was explained to him. The
same night he left for New York.
A week later Reginald Montmorency
was back at Yale. The notes he had
signed, as well as the fervid love let
tiers, were in Roger O'Mara's posses
sion. Miss Daisie Twinkletoes was
devoting all her time to a Chicago
pork packer. All was serene in the
Montmorency household. Roger
O'Mara's work was done. writes Karl
X. Kitchen. in the World.
Perhaps you have guessed It. Roger
O'Mara Is the shepherd of the black
sheep. When the sons of rich Pitts
burgers get into trouble Roger O'Mara
is called upon to get them out For
43 years O'Mara has been a detective
in Pittsburg. Thirty-four years were
spent on the police force. where he
was head Of the detective bureau for
the greater part Of the time. While
he has naturally taken an active part
In all the big criminal cases that have
developed in the Smoky City, the most
interesting part of his work has been
in getting the gilded youths of Pitts
burg out Of difficulties.
Employed In Thaw Case.
Newspaper readers will recall how
Harry X. Thaw summoned him to New
York the day after the Madison Square
garden tragedy. Nobody worked hard
er to extricate the young Pittsburg
millionaire from his difficulties than
O'Mara, but of course his efforts were
hopeless. Today O'Mara is Thaw's
trustee and his most valued adviser.
Less than two months ago OMara
was helping young Griscom, the son of
George Grfscom of Pittsburg, out of
HIS difficulties. Young Griscom, it will
be remembered. was the fiance Of Dor
othy Arnold, the New York heiress,
whose disappearance was and is a
great mystery.
Too much money is the ruination Of
most Of the rich young men in Pitts
burg, he declares. With an endless
supply OF money 1t is only natural
that they fall into all sorts of dissi-
patton. Drinking, gambling and wom-
en- sooner or later involve them one
way or another, and exposure and dis
grace are inevitable. And the sons Of
rich parents in Pittsburg, he declares.
are typical of the rich young men in
every large American city.
''The first thing / do when l am
called upon to help get young man
out of trouble is to make his parents
promise to cut OF his supply Of cash. :"
Dewey County advocate. [volume] (Timber Lake, S.D.) 1910-1913, 1911-07-21

said O'Mara to the writer, who found
him in his Office in the Oliver building
in Pittsburg the other day. 1.-THE rea-
son the so-called gilded youth Of this
country are continually getting into
trouble is that their parents give them
ten times as much money as they
need. II they were put to work and
forced to earn thenr own money they
would be far better off-and should
probably have much less to do.
"cut or Supply Of Cash."
"Of course there is another side to
this. There are schemers who make
a business Of preying on the sons of
rich men. They try to involve them
In all sorts Of difficulties. And Of
course there are adventuresses who
seek to trap the gilded youth. A young
man sometimes becomes involved
quite innocently, but no matter how 1t
has happened or what difficulties he
may be in, the first thing to do is to
cut of his supply of cash. That will
bring him to his senses more quickly
than anything else, and unless he has
committed felony he can then be ex-
tricated from his difficulties and put
on his feet.
"Blackmailers are to be found every
where, and every year they get scores
Of rich young men into their clutches.
Especially II the rich young man is
married he is threatened with ex-
posture. Our rich young men have a
habit Of being indiscreet-especially
when they go to New York-and black
mailers are always in readiness to get
something on them My advice to
them is never to pay cent of black
mail no matter how badly they may be
involved. It is better to risk exposure
first as last. for If blackmail be paid
once the payment has to be repeated
as often as the blackmailers wish.
Blackmailers can frequently be bluffed.
They are usually men or women of un-
savory reputation and they are always
afraid of exposure. When they find
a man won't give up they disappear
nine times out of ten. Never pay
cent of blackmail under any circum-
stances. You are lost if you give
single penny, for tomorrow you will
have to give more.
Typical Case Quoted.
"Just the other day." O'Mara con-
tinued, "a well-known Pittsburg man
called me up and said woman was in
town who was making trouble for his
son. 1t seems the young man had met
her in New York, given her few
costly presents and perhaps been lit
tie too carelessly free with his terms
of endearment. At any rate here she
was in Pittsburg demanding that he
marry her. A scandal seemed immi-
nent. Well, went over to her hotel
and had a talk with her. She was a
beauty-there was no mistake about
that. l asked her If the young man
owed her any money. She said he
did not. So told her there were two
trains out of Pittsburg which she could
take, and / would let her choose be-
tween them. One was the 9:40 train
for New York, the other the II O'Clock
train for the workhouse. She said she
would not take either and hurried OF
to the Office OF a prominent lawyer.
Half an hour later she emerged from
his office, went to the hotel and packed
her belongings. One of my men re-
ported that she had taken the s:lG
train for the east So the next day !
