Af System tor Fleecing Innocent People Who Fell Prey, X 1 l.v' 1 I 1W TJ, maintenance of two notoriously falflng institutions, operated under ths guise of "clothing stores," on a main . street and a north end thoroughfare, hae aroused purchasers, who have no money to weate' on fake goods, that it ia blessing that .the. establishments have been exposed.' It Is Indeed unfortunate that, while the offenders are practical lawbreakers, that they resort to tricky ways to technically keep out of Jail Two of the rawest of the fak clothing concerns on. roruano,. run oy t man naroea oirain, seem 10 aeaire to Haunt their crookedness to the public guse. oweyer, as, the system under, which rtese- concerns have been operated Is estlgated, every well thinking man will know that the Innocent people who visit the city and the poor working cusses who .buy clothes must be pro tected from such frauds as have boldly operated on. the main street of the city under. the very nose of the police. . . ., The .Journal has discovered that In store, known aa "The Hub," as veil as In-the. little store on Washington ftreet. what is known as the ' "P. M." sys tern Is in vogue, or has been until this expose., Clerks at "The Hub." which . Is in a district where the unau.ipeztlng , farmer and the working classes ean be roped in, are pntu small wages. They ; a however, allowed .. to make : money l5ifi systematto graft that Is explained iouqws;, t j--.-- ' i 'A BegulAV Banco Gam. A certain price is set on a piece of clothing. '-I'he price is usually three hundred per 'cent more than the value of the goods. The clerk tries to go oven the - set price as far' as he can, or, In other words, governs his sale ac cording . to the susceptibility of the sucker" with whom he is dealing. If e clerk can get $20 for an article that as a set price or. $10 be gets Ij per cent of the Illegitimate, raise, and the proprietors get the rest. , When one of these fake concerns op erates in a city It feels its way carefuliy among the newspapers and finds nut which paper can be bough -with cheap display advertising. In the case of The Journal the fakirs cannot buy a- line ,of spaced but a publication with a more easy conscience. In Its regular Issues, sets forth, alluring , notices of "Knox and 'Stetson Hats," woolen ' vests and various articles of apparel at price that attract buyers. An ex-employe of i the store' told The 'Journal today that on one occasion when Stetson hats were advertised the Arm had only one Stetson hat-In the building. This waa a tech nlcal protection against arrest for ob talning money on false pretenses. Stetson will not sell hats wholesale for less than 124 per dosen, and persons getting them at - that price4 roust buy a large stock. The istandard price is 13.50 to $5. -. " The Hub has. one Knox hat in the store, and has not got a Dunlup nor a Klngshur hat in the house. j To deceive the poor working man "the house has marked "Knox styles" printed and Inserted In the hat In the store. 3.00 Wool Tests - w. - .. 00- These vests were "given to him by Eastern firms from whom he buys his cheap clothing. They, are Job lots and come from broken suits. Five dollars would buy the whole suit. Clothing sold at the Hub Is Clothing made on the specialist plan throughout the East, and first-class tailors are never heard of. They do not hire men. but hire, girls and pay them $1.50 and IZ.60 per week. The specialist system is run on this plan, ench girl doing a certain kind of work such as: one Is a sleeve maker, another a button hole maker, and others make different nor tions. " Under this plan a suit can toe maae lit lour hours. . . - - Man Order Oraffc-r r - when a mail order Is received the bushelman takes 9 ready-made suit and fits it to measure. .All these suits are made out of the cheapest goods that can possibly be found, and when com pleted cost the manufacturer about 3.00. The Hub. buys these suits after they, have been in stock for about five years, price $4.00, and calls them mis fit garments or uncalled for garments, sella, themfor 110, making a profit of about H, . As an example of the character of the man who is conducting the brace game at the Hub and elsewhere, there la still pending a charge against him at police headquarters. The same has been postponed from time to time. A year ago last month Strain attempted to break the city's laws by evading a li cense, and he was arrested and held In jail for several days. At one time he conducted a notorious house that was constantly under the eyes of. the police. Silverfield , FURS, CLOAKS and' suits 1 s 3A3.3A5 MORRISON ST.

A story comes from the aoutnern part or the county, on the Santiam river, of a sensational ter mination of a revival meeting held there this week. , The revival had been run ning for several evenings when, on Monday ntgHt. a German, llvlnr in that neighborhood was brought to the "mourner's bench.' while there, sur rounded by the brethren and sisters, led by the preacher, who waa fervently praying for tha "mourner," his wife suddenly burst into the room. Thli goodly German dame has muscle and knows something of the' manly art, and she straight away made for tha group surrounding bar husband. ' Whips tha Minister. Brushing aside the people opposing her progress, she planted a sturdy right on the most prominent feature of the preachors face his nose and she drew blood. Before the eloquent divine re covered his breath the woman was rain ing blow upon blow on the surprised and startled minister, until the latter, believing discretion to be the better part of valor, made for the door, followed by the rest of the worshippers, and the woman and her husband were left In the house of worship. After administering a thorough chas tisement on' her humble and tearful spouse, the woman took that gentleman by the ear and led him home, vowing that hereafter ha would only attend ser vices when she was present to pAtect ilm, and declaring that the preacher would get a second and worse chas tisement If he ever dared to speak to her husband again.
