BROOKLYN CLUB
PROBE FINISHED

New York. Oct determination OF
members of the Brooklyn club Of the
National league by District Attorney
Lewis, OF Kings county, was complet-
ed today with this result:
The district attorney found that not
only had none of the Superbas been
approached in an attempt to fiji" the
coming worlds series. but that lit
would have been dangerous for gam
blers or their representatives to make
such advances to the new champions
OF the National league"
The district attorney said he was
prompted to make the investigation
because of vague rumors of alleged
fixing" contained in a newspaper
story. Exonerating the Brooklyn play
ers in emphatic terms. the district at

conversations with the players OF the

JOBS in CITIES
BECOME SCARCE
Young Men Warned to Keep
Away from Big Centers by
X. of c. and Salvationists.
(5y Associated Press.1

New York, Oct. 2.-Reports made pub
lie here tonight by employment agen-
cies of both the Salvation Army and
knights of Columbus indicated that
Jobs soon will be scarce in cities.
. Equalization of labor supply and de-
mand during the last week was report
ed by the five employment offices in
this city conducted by the Salvation
Army For the first time in two years,
as many men were found seeking work
as there were jobs available.
A feature of the week, a statement
by the army said, was falling off iD
demand for unskilled workers. Pre-
viously there had been a greater call
for this class of labor than for white
collar" workers. The report said it
was altogether possible that the near
future would see q return of the con-
dition where there are more men than
Jobs.
William J. McGinley, supreme secre-
tary of the knights of Columbus, af-
ter a three months survey OF Knights
of Columbus employment bureaus,
warned young men from agricultural
districts to keep away from the cities.
Men are flocking to New York, Chi
cago, Boston and other large cities
looking for employment said Secre-
tary Mckinley. 'and hundreds of men
are glad to accept menial positions in
hotels where at least their meals are
assured.
The preset fall in prices OF GER
tain commodities is being accompan-
led by a fall in wages for certain kinds
of labor. Production has had a de-
cided drop in many big industries and
the supply Of help. especially Of the
semi-skilled kinds, greatly exceeds the
demand"

me feel filthy just to walk through it.
I hated even to touch the walls-and,
as for the odors-well I'm going home

didn't care to know anyone connected
with The Journal, but later added that
he didn't suppose I was to blame for
the stories that had been written about
him
He looked as IL he might have been

AT any rate, he didn't look happy"

The visitors were received in the
