MILWAUKEE'S
MYSTERY MAN
HAS VANISHED
Has Cashed Hundreds of
Worthless Checks But No
One Has Ever Lost
SENTENCE SUSPENDED
Private Detectives Follow
Him and Make Good All
His Worthless Paper
SENTENCE SUSPENDED

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 23.-R)-
Milwaukee's mystery man Of the Paul
the Penman species, left the city last
night after writing one Of the most
unusual chapters in local police his
tory.
Arrested, Jailed and charged with
forgery under the name Of Peter
Daily, so. from nowhere" he vanish
ed under orders of Judge George A.
Shaughnessy. of municipal court, af-
ter the latter had given him sus-
pended sentence in the forgery case.
BY his own admission, Daily has
cashed hundreds of worthless checks
in many cities. but never once has his
intended victim been the loser by the
transaction. From some mysterious
source every check has been made
good-paid dollar for dollar-until
the total has reached tidy fortune.
DAILY declared that he does not
know who is picking up his worthless
paper or why. He only knows, he
said. that private detectives have
trailcd him constantly for years, new
cr molcsting him. but keeping him
under surveillance and paying the bad
checks as fast as he passed them.
OuCc okcptlCAI
The mystery man" arrived in Mil
waukee month ago and was arrested
when he attempted to pass worth
less $25 check at a hotel. When he
told the story Of a fairy check pay
check, police were skeptical and or
dered the man held An investigation
started, queries with Days descrip-
hn1 IN nS oil
None of the cities wanted Daily,
nor had any record of him. DAILY ex-
planned that he had not been arrested
or sought, because the private detec-
tives took up his checks before there
was complaint.
In court, Daily told the same story
to Judge Shaughnesy. Judge Shaugh-
messy took the case under advise
l1cnt and, although finding Daily
guilty as charged, suspended his SEN
tence with the provision that he
leave the city.
During his 2S days in Jail, Daily
had remained aloof from the other
prisoners. declining to discuss his
ease or his past. He also cvaded
questions by his jailers, so when he
left the courtroom free man again,
none could give a explanation of who
he might be or why some one would
be paying his worthless checks.
Writes With Both Hands
Still another odd twist was revealed
at the trial. 1t showed that Daily
wrote the worthless checks with one
hand and endorsed them with the
other. The writing was in no way
similar and would not be thought to
have been written by the same man,
had witnesses not seen DAILY in ac-
ton.

5000 VISIT
ROBINSON OVER
THE WEEK END
Gasoline From the Mysteri4
/ Gus Well Sold for 25
Cents Per Pint

The village of Robinson. since the
finding Of what is claimed to be re-
fined gasoline in the village, we'll, is
the mecca of weekend motorists, ac-
cordng to Bismarck people who were
there yesterday. 1t is stated that at
least 5000 people were at Robinson
Saturday and Sunday, the village yes
terday being literally jammcd with
sight-seers. Hotels in Robinson and
towns on all sides were crowded to
the limit Saturday night and reports
state that many slept on the floor in
the hotel lobbies and even in their
automobiles over night.
A. {. Townley, who has Il large
bunkhOuse near Robinson on property
where he intends to dri,l for oil, en-,
tertaincd over 800 people at one Of
his nightly meetings Saturday even
ing, persons returning from Robinson
say, and 800 more were turned away
because Of lack Of room.
25 Cents A Pint
The man who owns the village we'll,
from which the alleged gasoline is
being taken, put in busy day yes
tcrday. He was at the we'll from
morning until night, witnesses agree,
dealing out the mysterious gasoline
to eager hands at 25 cents a pint,
and the buyers furnished the con-
tainers. which for the most part were
Mason fruit jars. Some Bismarck
people were numbered among the
purchasers and jars Of the gasoline
were on display here today.
Five young men in an experimental
mood, local man states, drove up to
the Robinson we'll yesterday in a
Ford car. They drained their gas
tank and, pooling their resources,
purchased one gallon Of the fluid
for $l.50. Driving about in the vi
cinity until the gallon was entirely
used, their speedometer had added

ON WEST COAST
Building Continues. But Day
of Hectic Speculation
Has Passed

Special to The Tribune by George
u. Mann.
Los Angeles, Nov. rs. .-Florida's
boom is being felt on the Pacific
coast. 1t has quieted and stcadied
down conditions in the sun-kissed
state. While building is continuing
in Los Angeles and other California
coast cities, the intense speculative
atmosphere is not present. Few ad-
ditions are being put on the market.
This city is attempting to CONSOLE
date its areas; to build up the great
spaces between the various addi-
tions. Telephone and other public
utility extensions are catching up.
In other words Florida is giving
California "a breathing spell.
The era Of hectic speculation that
featured 1923 has passed. Laws
have been passed in California to
assist in curling speculation and to
present another period Of fictitious
prosperity. The spectators are not
all in Florida, however, but the
curbstones are not as cluttcrcd as
they were eighteen months ago when
this writer made a partial survey
of conditions. ,...
Water Supply Important
The water supply is the ever pres
ent spectre in California. 1t cspc-

cd. 1t is the most important de-
velopment confronting California. for
the whole future is involved in the
outcome Of this great project.
Warming Sounded
Florida's boom is being conducted
along the same lines that made Cali
fornia's speculative era both pic
turesquc and hectic The Los An
geles Times notes the passage to
Florida of the real estate barkcrs.
1t remarks:
."These evil birds of passage de-
parted last winter in flocks, attract
ed by the prospect Of real estate
boom in Florida. We are glad to
get rid Of them. But we feel we
would be lax in our duty to our
selves and the public if we did not
sound warning to the Florida COM
munities that IA boom is a malady,
whose after effects are sometime 5
as serious as those of infantile para
lysis.
"For enduring prosperity Florida
must develop agriculture. commerce
and industry; that which depends
on climate alone will be short-lived.
And California knows. Thirty
years ago Los Angeles found that
the tourist trade alone would not
support Il city Of $4,000. Real pros
perity depends upon the develop
ment of the mines, soil and indus
try. Agriculture after all is the key
stone Of prosperity.
