William Margolis, under arrest in

charged with perpetrating a swindle
which took the entire savings of John
AIilouski, of No. $50 Watson-st., this
city, and is believed to be the same
man who recently swindled Detroit
Poles out of thousands of dollars, by
means of sleight of hand tricks and
an alleged money printing" machine,
which he operated in store out

name used by the Michiean-ave.
swindler, whom the police believe
was Margolis
He had handsomely gowned and
beautiful woman for, confederate,
and the couple fed one night, after
mulcting ignorant foreigners out OF
all OF their savings.
Wierd rites We're sometimes used
10 separate the unwary Poles from
their savings, but the swindle which
cost Milousk 1854 in bills, was a
crude method, intricateIy worked out.
Margolis used a big black box, fit
ted with electric batteries, wires, a
b iZzer, and a mysterious revolving
funnel, which he represented to Mi
louski as a machine for making real
bills out of blank paper.
Margolis roomed at No. 6S Brew

wnom he struck UP friendship, anu
learned that Milouski had 1854 In the
bank. He advised MilouslIi to draw
the money out. on Thursday. and said
he would pay him well for the use
of the money for only five minutes
He took Milouski to the Brewster.st.
room, where the mysterious looking
box reposed. Milouski had all of his
savings. four 800 bills. five $50 bills,
one So bill. and two 81 bills.
Margolis carefully locked the door
cautioning MilouBM that no one must
witness the operation. Then he took
all OF the money, wrapped it IN

pressed against the bills. anu set the
package in the machine" starting

questions, announced their original
rejection OF the demands OF the
miners.
The union committee then stated
II stood by it's original demands and
had nothing further to offer. There

abruptly adjourned sine die.
This made IL certain that unless

by the committee on ways and means
has revealed that the city treasurer's
Office is asking less for salaries this
year than i'm 1902. The sum Of $37,-

this year for salaries. IN 1902, the
work now done by the treasurer's Of
fee was divided up with the reteiy-
or of taxes, and collectively, the two
Offices asked for si4.l96 for salaries.
In 1907, when the two Offices were
first consolidated, the salary expense
dropped 20 sft,1t2; was reduced 10
