Sent to Changing
For Falsely Using
Rail Unions Name

The improperly of using the name
of a great brotherhood to help in get
ting advertising for a privately pro-
NOTED publication was illustrated
Thursday when Judge Calhoun, in
the City Court. sentenced B. D. Rus
sell to pay a fine of $3.50 or spend a
year in the changing.
Russell was convicted of passing
himself of as the official represen-
tative Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Englnemen. He was
in the habit of stating that he and
his associate. c. +. McC: rthy, were
getting up advertising TO be printed
in a book of Instructions published
by the brotherhood, and sold for its
benefit.
1t was proved that, while the
pamphlet actually was published, the
brotherhood had no connection with
the enterprise. and it also was shown
that the brotherhood never solicits or
accepts any financial aid of that kind,
being wealthy and independent or

'Faker' Who Got So
Bill From Blease Is
Held for Vagrancy

l.. W. Bernstein, whose proud boast
it is that he "nicked Governor Cole
Blease for a five-case note" by sym
pathy dodge, Thursday afternoon was
held for trial in bond of $500 by Re-
corder Broyles on charge of va
grancy and on a charge of being a
common cheat and swind!er
Playing the part of deaf and
dumb peddler of chewing gum, Berk-
stein never uttered an audible word
from the time he left Atlanta two
months ago until the time of his ar
rest Wednesday night by Policeman
Harper, according to the remarkable
story he told in court. He carried a
slate with him to convey all his mes
sages.
1t was the slate that won the Ave
dollar bill from the Governor Of South
Carolina. Bernstein. after having a
conversation with Blease, is said to
have written on the slate for the ben
eft of Blease's secretary that he
thought the Governor was mighty
fine man. The compliment. as the
vender of gum intended, was told to
the Governor and the greenback was
forthcoming

FAVOR
RICHIE IN
BIC MILL
Milwaukee Invaded by Big Crowd
of Fight Fans to See go"
Tonight.

MILWAUKEE,, March 12.-AIilWau-
kee is damned this afternoon with
sporting men who have come to see
the Willie Ritchie-Ad Wolgast go
tonight The Hobbies of all hotels
are so crowded that it was difficult
to move around, and at the headquar-
tiers of the two boys it was impossi-
BILE to get inside. Everywhere Richie
is the favorite in the betting, the odds
being 100 to so.
Just after the afternoon train from
Chicago arrived, the betting began in
earnest. A big bunch of the betting
men from Chicago came up with
Ritchie on this train and the fact
that Richie slept soundly for a full
hour of the journey made most of
them certain that he would win. Both
men are in prime condition.
Not a seat is to be had. Tom Jones,
who had entire charge of the Chi
cago sale. said that in all he had
gathered in close to $4,000 from the
fans there alone. In addition to this,
there were a number of tickets scat
tered about in different p'""07 and
all of these were gone early, SO that
it is probable that between $4,000
and $4,000 of the enormous house
o-night was laid down in the Windy
City.
There was considerable complaint
about the prices. People have been
educated to seeing specially good bat
ties for 81 in this vicinity and when
the sale was tilted up to s., $50 and
$40 there was considerable kicking.
But the tickets went just the same,
and this afternoon the choice reserva-
tions that were in the hands of the
scalpers were bringing nice pre-
MUM. In one case a pair of seats
six rows from the ringside, went for
s35.
