An unidentified negro, about eight

trousers. light coat and gray cap, is
wanted by the police for obtaining

shoes and change for $50. He was
met on the corner by the negro. who
claimed the shoes were for him. The
hoy handed over the shoes and change,
the negro telling him to wait until he

Johnson's application for a commu-

the officials of the Department of Jus
