Not Getting Moneys Worth.

When reporter for The Star visited
one Of the fake" auction places Sat
urday afternoon he failed to observe
any thing which might be classed AS
absolutely illegal. but could not help
seeing that people buying the goods
auetioned off were in most instances
failing to get full return for their
money.
The place was we'll filed with peo-
pie during the afternoon. many going
in to get out of the rain. There were
several auctioneers at work, and they
alternated a number OF times in car
rying on the actual business All the
men co-operated. however. in attempt
ing to stir up enthusiasm.
The aueerest stunt worked by the
auctioneers revolved about the sale of
a mystery package" The principal
object of this seemed to be to get the
crowd around the door to come away in
side.
The auctioneer pretended to believe
that the people we're not taking much
interest In the SALE" and brought out
a small .jewelry box, saying that the
contents were worth $2t. He did not
show the contents. asking bids ''b,indly."
but adding that if the highest bidder
did not like his bargain he need not
make the purchase.

Strangers Their Victims.

we will do everything in ourtpowe,
to put an end to these auction sales, -
said Mr.. Andrews. ITO allow such sales
to be conducted is not fair to the legiti-
mate merchants of the city or to the
thousands Of visitors to the National
Capital.
strangers to Washington are more
easily yictimized at these fake auction
sales than are residents Of the city,
many of whom know that these es-
adjustments are conducted primarily
for the purpose of disposing of cheap
jewelry, most of which has been manu-
factured for just such purpose.
when a stranger makes purchase
at one OF these sales and later learns
he he's been misled as to the value of
his purchase he returns home and tells
of the thieving practices Of Washing
ton merchants. The city Is given a
bad name as the result.
one OF these auction establishments
will do a business in one day which
will equal that done by a legitimate
Jeweler carrying a stock of from $780,
900 to 100000. OH which he must pay
an annual personal property tax of SIS
per $1,000.
