Today they took places on the platform across which ranhlndlers, thieves, vagrants and the ke pass. ‘Whalen mounted the platform, too, and his voice shook with anger. “On this platform,” he said, “I have praised and promoted men for good and heroic work.

Forsakes Robbery With Gun to Work Bad Check Racket Wisconsin Man Is Locked Up in Chicago After 400 Had Been Passed. By the Associated Pre: CHICAGO, May 7.—Frank Dyer came down from Niagara. Wis,, to make good in the big city. He made plenty, but not good, and now it has been found expedient to lock him up. He wrote, he told police, 400 bad checks, which was one too many. Offi- cers nabbed him when he was attempt- ing to pass the 400th one yesterday. Duwyer said he first tried robbery with a gun, but that his technique was faulty. The one man he held up was unimpressed with Dwyer's pistol and yanked forth a knife to do battle. This flustered the young man {rom Niagara, Wis,, he said, and he wound up by shooting himself in foot during the ex- citing retreat, It was this footpad flas- co that determined him to abandon firearms and confine himself to spen- cerian deception. He needed money, he explained. to maintain his social status at some of the West Side's taxi dance halls.
