GOUGE MEN
IN UNIFORM
Charge of Over Charging and Then
Some by Des Moines Merchants
Is Investigated by Bust
n. ness Club.

DIES MONIES, Ia, June Ga rigid
investigation into charges by army
officers that Des Moines merchants
are in the habit of overcharging sol
diers, is being conducted by the Re-
tail Merchants bureau. Major Pur-
lee, head of the Des Moines military
police, has just presented mass of
evidence to that body, which, he says
will show that in many instances
men in uniform have been charged
two or three times the price charged
civilians for certain articles.
Barber shops seem to be the worst
offenders" said Major Purlee, for in
many instances l find a soldier is
charged triple the regular price. A
ran in uniform comes in from many
weeks in camp and goes into a barber
shop to get about everything on the
program from a shave to shampoo.

Manager Ingle Says That He
Will Transmit Resolution,

This morning things began to hap
pen regarding the plan for an exten-
ton of the street railway five BLOCKS

dorsing the petition for the extern

SWINDLERS ARE
PLENTIFUL NOW
Working All the Cities in. This Sec
ton by Every Game Ever
Heard of and Some
New Ones.

+ The spring crop of swindlers is
larger than ever before in this sec
ton Here in Keokuk a fine looking
man beat a hotel out of S. and his
bill
In Quincy, the police have locked
up a job lot of swindlers. One is a
Scotchman in kilties who was once
acquitted for killing his sweetheart
in Scotland, once imprisoned in
Leavenworth, and served awhile in
the Canadian army, before he passed
some phoney checks in Quincy.
Burlington merchants are looking
for willy pair who operated extern
sively in Galesburg, where they got
$50 in one day.
One of the men is about thirty
years old, has pox marks on his face
or a very rough skin, and the second
fellow is six feet tall, and while at
work he wears no coat or hat.
The smaller of the two men comes
into store. and asks to get a $50
bill changed He produces the bill
and sees that the cashier has plenty
of change left. He then exits, prob
ably around the corner, where he
meets the big guy and tips him off.
The big fellow gives his coat and
hat to the little fellow and with a
500 bill in his hand he enters the
said store, appearing in rush as
though he was from a nearby store
and had a customer waiting for the
change.
A little fast talk and he gets the
cashier all excited. Then he says.
II would like to have the change
this way, please" He names the way
in number of tens, fives and ones
and the cashier usually follows the
instructions.
He takes the change, which is
usually about $50 more than the 500
he gave and away the two men go.
The loss is not discovered until the
cash register is checked up in the
evening.
The chief Of police Of Galesburg
notified the local police that he
thought the men were headed for
Keokuk. Chief Hennemann requests
that anyone who thinks they have re-
ceived call from any swindlers,
call the police station at once.

SAYS Goes to Boston.

Manager Ingle told the council
that he would at once send copy
of the resolution to his superiors in
Boston, as he does not have an
thority to spend the large amount
OF money required to build the ex-
tension proposed, without consulta-
ton with the Boston office.
He said he would also transmit TO
Boston full and complete data on
the situation and circumstances. and
that an estimate of the cost of the
extension of the tracks this summer
would be made before any decision
could be made.
The petitioners stated that they
need not only an extension of tracks,
but that the installation OF fifteen
minute schedule, connecting at Main
street with the rest of the Keokuk
city railway system, is of even more
Importance, and they want both
these things.

FLETCHER HITS
SALE OF SHIPS
or U. S. BOARD
Building Up Foreign Mer-
chant Marine, Charges,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The
United States shipping boards policy
OF selling so-called undesirable" steel
and wooden vessels to agents OF for
cign interests at private sales was
strongly condemned last night by
Senator Duncan Fletcher former
chairman OF the senate commerce
committee.
Senator Flctcher's criticisms were
evoked by the published announce
ment that the shipping board had
given authority for the sale in Lon
don OF twenty wooden steamships,
with option for the purchase OF 10
more, and by the sale earlier in the
week OF 100 steel ships Of the lake
type for SS00000OO to a private firm
Representing French and Italian in
tcrcStS
Il am opposed 20 the shipping
board selling any OF the government
bull, ships at all" said Senator
Fletcher 81 wouldn't sell roy
boat.
The shipping board in drspo>lng
oi these ships abroad IS simply aiding
in the building up of foreign mer-
chant marines.
The only possible justification for
disposing ol any OF the ships is that
they cannot be successfully en-
ployed here. Blu, under no circum-
stances should they be disposed of a,
private sales. There should be open
bidding and American bidders per
rnitted TO participate.
But the shipping board can't say
that we don, need these ships
There's a call for ships in every port
OF the world. There is call for
ship, on the gulf coast and along our
ocean coasts
"Ships are wanted for South Amer
lean trade and these ships which the
board is selling. although OF smaller
tonnage, are needed for coaStwise and
for South American commerce"
