John Argo Charged With Improper Advances To
 Girl Waitress

Six months of hard labor on the county roads and a fine of $250 were meted out Friday to John Argo, 30- year-old Greek, proprietor of fruit store on Fifth avenue, by Judge Do- zier, in the court of misdemeanors, after the Greek had been found guilty of charges of making improper advances to girl employe.
 Argo was arrested and tried on a warrant sworn out by Miss Maude Will Hams, IS, who worked for Argo at one dollar per day. In her testimony against the Greek, Miss Williams declared he had entered the kitchen of the establish ment last Friday afternoon and asked her for kiss, attempting to embrace her meanwhile.
 Assistant Solicitor Willard Drake termed the crime with which Argo was charged "One of the most dastardly that a man could commit" during his plea for heavy sentence. White Gibson, at- torney for Argo, attempted to prove the girls statements untrue
