Shaving Away Despite the Grand Jury's Edict, GERMANY'S WARNING NOT GIVEN TO BRYAN 1 BEFORE PUBLICATION (Continued From Page One.) Mose Eloch was very busy yesterday oecauxs it was county pay day. He was busy shaving: time . checks an warrants of the men who had drawn Iheir month's wases. i f What does Mose Bloch care for the order of county commissioners or the reports of grand juries? t It is very evident he cares nothing. The com missioners ordered him to cease mak ing: bis' headquarters In the county offices.- The grand jury approved of the order and decried the 'fact that a shaver-- of county,- warrants was al lowed to operate within - a few feet f 4Pl county treasury ) and nnder the samet roof that houses all the county officials. Te last nlffht Mose Bloch. was run ning his warrant shaving! business in the office of 'the janitor of the court house. ; About 1 S o'clock hs . arrived with a gang of 25 or SO men who had been employed ; on the county roads. Janitor Jos Hoeye met them In" the corridor. He led the way to the jan itor's office, unlocked the door and In stepped Mose and the gang. Mose car ried a satchel tilled with, fives, tens and twenties, and much silver .for small change. . The small change ' was needed, ' be cause Mose counts the .nickels when he begins taking his toll from the $2.25 a day wages of the men who feel they must divvy with Bloch or take chances of losing- their ; Jobs. Mose took 1 pr cent of the men's wages last night.? Tomorow he will go to the courthouse and get hls'-money back from the County treasury. One per ; ecu ti interest for money outstand ing over Sunday is pretty fair profit. It is equivalent to about 100 per cent a year. .Most of the men were those wW work under Road Foreman James Kencha. - . - -. 1 Operating I In the Janitor's offlci.

Oth ers, however, declare that they saw the janitor unlock the door and let Bloeu' in. ' . ' - In' Its report, returned yesterday, the grand' jury -said: . - . 1 "Evidence has been heard showing that many laborers In the service - of the .county have been paying a regular toll of one per cent upon the amount due them, AndK it appears to the Jury that the circumstances under, which this practice has been, carried-on vlr tually amount to compulsion of : said laborers to make this discount. "For a long time certain foremen, being under financial obligation to the broker who 1 makes these discounts, have . regularly turned -over the time c necks of their1 men to- tho broker. theso waters.
