: CON GAMES ARE
OPERATED HERE


Moline merchants have beeu
warned by the police to be on their
guard against new species Of The
old-time short change CON game. 1t
has been worked several times in
Moline during the last few days.
The police have arrested q youth
on q charge OF being CONNECTED with
the affair. 1t happened at the
Meyer & Kolb bakery 1t Five Points.
The arrested lad says that he was
in company with another young
man. who must have done the trick,
il it was done.
The youth was released by the
police on his own recognizance for
the sake of his widowed mother.
The youth promised to be in court
April Is. 1t is said that the man
mentioned by the youth under ar
rest, has left town. No warrant
was issued for his arrest. It is a
dangerous thing to issue warrants
without Identification, the police
declare. The man under arrest has
been identified by the bakery clerk.
The rule followed by the men
behind the confidence game il that
they offer a large bill in payment
for a small purchase. They take
some coins from their pocket when
they receive their change. A SO
bill was offered in-payment for
some cookies as the Five Point
bakery. I
II don't want to carry all this
change around" said the purchaser.
Here's S. in small coins. Give
me IS bill for it."
The SO still lay on the counter.
The accommodating clerk turned
around to the cash register for a
SIS bill. The purchaser quickly
slipped SIS of the $40 into his pock-
ct. The clerk handed him the
S. bill.
"You might as well take all this
change apd give me back my $10,"
said, the confidence game operator.
The still obliging clerk, not real
izing that of "all of this change
IS had been taken, took the coins
and handed over SO. The bakery

that a $1,000 or $1,000 tax levy at
this time would be hardship to
many people.
The supporters Of the PROPOSE
ton declared the tax would be
small for the average property
owner and that no complaints will
be received. The rate this year is
5 cents per 500.
The mayor also stated that his
experience with workmen who are
property owners led him to believe
that the small property owner will
gladly pay an small additional tax
in order to provide funds to give
jobs to the unemployed.
Mr.. First and Mr. Nelson recon-
mended q $4,000 tax levy. They
voted against the $4,000 levy, but
said nothing when the proposition
of turning the 5000 over to- the
city finally came to vote.
