POLICE HOAX "UNCLES"
Fashion Changing, They Don't
Redeem Pawned Uniforms.

Reputed 10 be the widest OF mankind, the
New York pawnbrokers have been hoIxed,
and what makes the dish so bitter TO the
two hundred or moro "uncles" who bit
is that It was tho police who turned the
trick
The gentlemen Of Lombardy have been
wont to stow away many patrolman's

cash and relieving him Of the burden Of

fall the summer uniforms were hung on
the racks. There they still remain. for a
new design Of uniform has been accepted
and the patrolmen have 30 little use for
their old clothes that they will not come
for them.
The unredeemed uniforms are all but
valueless the pawnbrOkers say. At the
auction sales they bring exceedingly low
prIces. Generous amounts were allowed
the owners. because IT was believed to be
certain that they would be needed next sea-

side OF the police. It is said that one broker
sent n circular to all patrolmen, advising
them Of the large amounts allowed, and as
result he had as many as six hundred
police outfits In his lofts.
The good uncles' are so glum that they
are even thinking OF appealing to Commits
sioner Waldo. However, there liz nothing to
prevent a patroman pnwning his uniform If
he is so inclined, provided the buttons, pre-
cinct numbers or other city property IS re-
moved. None the less, it is intimated that
action OF some sort will be taken at the
next meeting OF the Pawnbrokers' Assocl-
alton.
