brokers Objects of Rigid Police
Investigation.
HOW THEY ARE OPERATED

Police Commissioner Kugel Through
the detective bureau and operatives work
ing from his own office. began yester-
day TO investigate certain pawnshops and
jeweiry stores conducting fake auctions
and dealing in pawn tickets.
In the last few months nearly a dozen
OF these places have sprung into ex-
istence. and many persons have been
bilked.
Some OF these. according to the police,
employ from one to dozen runners
who hang about hotels, depots and
street corners, inducing visitors to
watch the auction"
Once inside the doors OF these places,
Il is but a short while before the visitor
finds that he has been buncoed. Upon
his entry, bidding among stalls be-
comes lively. Genuine gold watches are
Knocked down" at ridiculously low prices

Falls at Last.
Finally the visitor takes a hand. A
standard watch is offered. The victim
makes a bid. In a few minutes he finds
that he Is the possessor Of one. twenty

years. He must pay SIS for n Even
so, he has his moneys worth. When
Il is handed over TO him, he finds that

the article described has been pawned
and is worth considerably more than has
been loaned on H. The deal with the
booster is made, and the IS turned over
Then the victim hands his pawn ticket
over to the broker. With the amount
that has been loaned. expecting to receive

This must be paid before the article

man who first approached him. In most
cases the victim will go through with the
deal. He gets an article worth a trifif
