highly you regarded that confidence

Marie Humphreys, Believ-
ed to be Prostitute and
Thief, is Caught.
SOLVE LARCENY CASES
Phillip Rizzo as advance
Agent" Gives the Situa-
ton Away by Watch.

A good-looking quadroon who an
swers to the euphonious name of Marie
Evelyn Humphreys and who has been
plying the old trade of Moll Flanders,
combined prostitution and thieyery
among west side Italians, according to
the police, was arrested on Saturday
night after spectacular inroads had
been made in solving some of the cases
Of petty larceny reported to the police
department.
Phillip Rizzo, an Italian ne'er-do well
aged 16, who has a record m police
circles already, was arrested Saturday
morning by the police, and is believed
by them to be an advance agent for
the Humphreys woman in the plying
of her illicit trade. Both are held in
custody pending further investiga-
ton by the police.
Watch as Clue.
The arrest of Marie Humphreys came
about through one of those fortunate
condolences that happen in police cir
cles as elsewhere, and happened while
the police were working on another
case. Rizzo was arrested in connec-
tion with case Of larceny unconnected
with the quadroon and while in the
hands of the police they found on his
person a watch which they knew had
been stolen from George. Kolpic by a
quadroon prostitute, though at that
time they did not know the woman's
name. One thing led to another and
soon the police had solved the mystery
of the watch, robbery, finding that the
solution opened an insight into certain
alleged conditions which have been pre-
vailing on the west side.
Rizzo Lies to the Police.
George Kolpic, who rooms at S18
Park street, reported to the police on
April 18th that he5had been robbed of
his watch and some money while in a
taxicab with a woman whom he de-
scribed as quadroon and woman of
i'll fame. While the police were still
Phillip Rizzo on suspicion in econnec-
ton with larceny of $40 from Main
street merchant.
When Rlzzo's person was searched
at the police station, watch was found
which correspondent to the description
given by Kolpic of the watch stolen
from him and which later .Kolpic iden-
tilted as his own. When Rizzo was
questioned, he said that he had pur-
chased the watch last summer. Of a
negro.
After severe grilling and long ex-
animation by the police, Rizzo said that
Bill Barnes, west side negro, had
handed the watch over to him during
crap game at Conley's pool room last
Friday night. This story in turn the
police decided was as false as the first.
They found information which indi-
Gated that Rizzo was a sort of advance
agent for Marie Evelyn Humphreys and
that she had given him the watch in
return for his services.
Raid COnley's Pool Room.
Rizzo gave acolorful version of the
life that goes on in Conley's pool room
on Rowland avenue, between Pearl and
Market streets. On the basis of in
formation given by Rizzo, the police
raided the place Saturday night. Men
and women both were found on the
premises playing cards, but there was
nothing to indicate that crap games
had been in progress. or other violations

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-01-26
The Carpenter

We are starting a series of articles
for the purpose of obtaining better
understanding and good will from 9TH
er folks. We are proud of our calling
and love our work so much that we
want to do it so well that it will be
a credit to us and to the city. Organi-
cation and cooperation are the two
most essential features to success
where two or more are working in
common. No man singly can accom-
plish anything. He is only a link in
the chain, but by uniting all the hun
dreds of links we have a great chain
to bind together the principles for
which we are working We meet to-
gether not only to better working con-
ditions, but to discuss things pertain
ing to our work. If it is wrong for
mechanics to organize, it is wrong for
all other kinds to organize. No man
will dispute the fact that these states
we live in would be better and strong
err unorganized We are working on
the same principle that this govern
ment is. >, We, as a government, send
representatives to other countries to
find a market at the highest price OBJ
tainable for our product and to care
for our interests send agents and lit
erature to the people for instruction
and do everything we think best for
this greatest of all unions.
Every profession is organized. Ev-
cry corporation is organized. So we
must agree it is wise for us to fall
in line and stay in line. A square
deal is all we ask. The need of or
ganization can easily be seen when
women and girls are asked to work
from ten to fourteen hours from Is
to IS cents per hour and men nine
to ten hours at 20 to 25 cents per
hour, while others are walking the
streets. Why not shorten the day and
let the others have loaf of bread?
Think it over. e. w. B.
