OLD STORY OF AN EMPLOYER
AND A YOUNG PRETTY GIRL
Bernard Buster" Perlman, 36O8
w. 18th ST., owner of the Atlas Nov
ing Picture Co., was charged yester-
day in the court of domestic rela-
lions with contributing to the delin-
quency of a 17-year-Old girl in his
employ, which relations resulted in
an illegal operation, according to
her story, performed by DR.. Shop
herd Remington, 1857 w. 18th st.
The girl, who was a $9-a-week
emplOye of Perlman's, said her rela-
tiOns continued from Nov. l until
Jan. 4, and she then discovered she
was in serious trouble She said
Perlman arranged for the operation
and gave her S25 with which to pay
the doctor.
The girls mother testified that her
daughter had been seriously i'll, but
that Perlman had told her over the
telephone that box fell on the girl
and advised against getting a doctor
for her.
According to the girls story, when
she was well again and returned to
work she was discharged.
Case continued until May 10.

As a consequence OF the ready sale OF

Mr. Dawson at the Chicago Club by

Sabin will discuss informally with
Western bankers the general situation
which has developed from the pur-
chases in this country made by the
Allies, now estimated at s10,000,000 a
day.
The New York bankers are expected
TO emphasize the idea, brought out in
Mr.. Davison's recent interview, that if
these purchases are to continue on
such a huge scale that the Allies must
be treated as preferred borrowers. In
other words We must extend further
large credits in exchange for goods.

the gold in the settlement of the in

United States, which is in her favor.
There has been several 100000

have endeavored so far as possible
to discourage the movement for the
reason that it is difficult to find pro-
fitable employment of gold in Japan
