WK CAN WALSH “WIHT PCE {Kings County Prosecutor Begins \ an Investigation of the Case Against the Bogus Inspector who Duped Scores. HIS DARING OPERATIONS. Although No Such Office as “Milk- ‘ Can Inspector” Exists, He Created \ One, Had Imposing Stationery } and Hunted Up Victims, District-Attorney Clarke, of Kings Dounty, to-day started a complete in- Westigation of the operations of John G. Walsh who, as a bogus “milk can Angpector,” is said to have blackmatled fesidents of Brooklyn out of hundreds nd perhaps thousands of dollars. Walsh ‘was held for the Grand Jury in bonds of $2,500 by Magistrate Higginbotham In the Fourth District Court. ‘The daring with which Walsh's opera- tions were carried out for several months without detection astounds the officials, More than twenty complaints have already been made, and from the investigations made it is thought that these are only a few of the many cases of extortion that will come to light when the case gajns greater publicity ‘The law proves for no such office as “milk can inspector.” There Ia a law, “however, imposing a fine of $0 for each case where a person uses a . muk can on which is another's name. Jt was on this law tHat Walsh operated. He had stationery printed with his @ssumed title In large letters, court ®ummonses with the section from the milk can law printed on the back, and @ smart, official-looking runabout. All wt these things bore the mark of au- thority and he found little or no difft- culty in duping his victims. Walsh's plan of procedure was t find some one who had a milk can In bis possession, which, in most in- @tances, was delng used as a garbage zeceptacle. Then he would announce himself as milk can inspector and con- fiscate the can. A few days later the victim received @ printed summons to defend an action to recover a penaity of $50 for violation of the Milk Can jaw. All these sum- monges were signed by dohn G. Walsh @s plainuff in person, and were made returnable in Orange County. Then, it alleged by at least twenty of the ms, Walsh would again put in an appearance and offer to settle the case nd withdraw the complaint for a con- elderation. It is charged that in this way he has Fellected sums ranging trom, $10 to, $0 om many offenders. Rather than carry the case to court most of the vic- ims agreed to pay for a settlement with ie “‘Inspector."” Some of the victims say that the first ghey knew there was a milk can on {heir prOberty was when Walsh drove Up and made complaint. The police be- Neve that Walsh manufactured cases y having the offending milk cans placed where he thought the owners of the property could be made to pay. scheme first came ro the notice of ‘e when a poor woman who wa small grocery sent word to Pa. apt.

When the “Inspector’’ called at the office Youngentob forced him to make an affi- davit that he was a duly authorized milk can inspector and to give him a receipt showing that for the considera- Ronee $10 Silberstein would not be pros- , CIRCUS BOY A RUNAWAY.

To what degree your apparel lends itself to the other attributes, for the most part depends upon your tailor. His intelligence or mediocrity is apt to express itself in his handiwork. You must sponsor it. You can well afford to trust yourself to apparel which the #aks |abel indentifies. It is the product of tailors who, because of their in- telligence and cleverness, have little to learn relative to the fashioning of distinctive and characteristic apparel for men.
