MOSCOW CROWDED BY SPECULATORS Get-Rich-Quick ~ Schemes Are Flourishing Everywhere in City Moscow, Sept. 20.—(By Associated Press)—Speculation is rampant in the capital of Soviet Russia Wall street, Threadneedlo street or any other fi- nancial district of the world has not half as many ‘“shoestring operators’ as this ancient city of the Czars. The curbs are crowded each day with pro moters trying to organize co-opera- tive concerns from tea hous to auto- mobile factories and the talk of money inside and outside the government has a caplitalistic ring seldom heard in Russia before the soviet government declded it was unable to handle all business. Markets are overcrowded with deal- ers, but bufldings are standing idle be- cause thero is a lack of capital with which to pay tho annual rentals, which must be met in advance. News- papers are fllled with suggestions for the assistance of co-operative asso- clations, the Pravda publishing an ar- ticle urging that the state bank be al- lowed to make loans to encourage trade and (ndustry. Suggestion was made that Interest from ten to 12 per cent monthly could be charged ny Licenses Issued. Licenses for 897 shops and 5,480 markec stalls or street wagons have been issued in Moscow since the open- ing of free trade. Market stalls pay from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 rubles an- according to location: boot- blacks pay 500,000 rubles for their places of business, while shops pay 600,000 to 1,500,000, according to lo- cation and the proprietors must also keep the property in repair and clean the courtyards and streets abutting their bulldings. Government Levies Tax. The government levies a tax of § per cent in kind on concessionaries producing foqdstuffs; 8 per cent. on chemical manufacturers and ten per cent. on metal working firms.

ALLEGED HOLD-UP LEADER ARRAIGNED Sebastian Fatimo Held in $3,000 Bonds for Superior Court Sebastian Fatimo, a restauran: and poolroom proprietor on Myrtle street, near Washington, waa held in $3,000 bail this morning by Judge G. W. Klett, in police court, charged with being the instigator in holdup, which occurred near the “pit" on Myrtle street, August 29, when Joseph Per- ronne waa held up at the point of a gun and James Grillo, a California man, now spending a vacation at Hart- ford was blackjacked and the pockets 0! the two men rifled. Peter Sebastian and Sebastian Tor- ello, were held under $2,500 bonda vesterday and Salvatore Gijenti was sentenced to tho stato reformatory at Cheshire for the samo offense. According to testimony offered, Fa- timo called onc of the trio into a pri- vate room at his restaurant and told him that Grillo, who was here visit- ing Perrone, an old friend, had $3,000 in a bag on his “chest.’” Fatimo is alleged to have talked the three men into agreeing to the holdup. One of the men testified vestetday, and re- peated his story today that Fatimo gave him $2.50 and sent him to a& pawn shop on Lafayetto street for a blackjack. The men were held up and the trio ran away with but a few dollars in Later they claim sent a letter to Fatimo asking for money to escape. Fatimo was represented by Attorney Morris D. Saxe. He pleaded not guilty. The other three at their hearing yes- terday, pleaded guilty upon advisa of Attorney William Mangin. Gijenti was sent to the reformatory rather than being held over for superior court because of the assistance he gave the police in rounding up the rest of the gang. Anzokin Travers and Moses Sarko, Armenians, were charged by the po- licy with fighting. Moses had two black eyes which he said he got in fun and Travers had one decorated optic, which he also claimed he got by fooling. Judge Klett fined them $15 and costs for their “fun.” GET THE HABIT-GD TO M OX'S Let Fatima smokers tell you Ask the Golfers Many a golfer will tell you he’d rather Fatimas. > his niblick than his ith players and with rllenes.
