FAKE BEGCARS NUMBER
rs TO u IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-To show that
New Yorkers are the easiest" people
in the world, two men went out the
other night in the raiment of hoboes
and mooched what they could mooch.
One of them was Major Edward
Underwood, of the Salvation Army
the other was Roy p. Gates, of the
joint application board.
"In an hour we had collected $685.
said Underwood. Men apologized for
turning us down. Others went into
stores and changed bills to give up
help. Had we kept up the speed we
would have made at least $40 and
probably SIS before the night was very
old. The only men who turned us
down cold were men escorting ladies
to the theater.
1--WE then talked to a lot Of other
moochers around Bryant Park. For
each one who was really deserving
there were twenty-five who were pro-
fessional beggars."

BALTIMORE, Oct. 20. - Roland
Park made the acquaintance of new
kind of ''Raffles" last night. when a
well-dressed man in a small auto
mobile drove up to the beautiful home
OF Mrs. d. Clinton Slagle, EOS Good
wood gardens. The man took a step
ladder from the machine, climbed the
porch. forced the second-story window
with his Jimmy and robbed the front
room OF jewelry valued at $3.50.
After he had carefully taken all the
jewels in the room he was apparently
frightened by some noise, for he came
out the window, climbed down the
porch and nearly ran into two Of Mrs.
Slagle's maids who were returning to
the house. He got into his machine
and drove away.
