OTHER PEOPLE'S COIH
Stranger Named Parsons Taken
in for Obtaining Money Un
der False Pretenses.
SOLICITING rOSLABOS DAY ADS
Secures Advance Payment From
Joseph Rosenfield as Agent
of E. C. Berry.
A stranger named Parsons, who
had been soliciting advertising for a
program for the Labor day exercises,
was arrested today on complaint of
Joseph Rosenfield, of the Rock Island
Regalia company, for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
According to Mr. Rosentield's
story, Parsons came to him and
claimed to represent E. C. Berry, who
has the only contract given by the
Industrial Home association for the
issuing of the programs, and collected
$2 as a preliminary payment.
As the advertising had ieen solicit
ed by W. P. and F. W. Quayle, Mr.
Rosenfield became suspicious and
called up Mr. Berry by telephone.
The latter stated that he had but the
two agents named, and the arrest of
Parsons followed.
Whether this is the extent of Par
sons' operations is not known, but it
is suspected there are others who
have been induced to make payments
upon the same representations. Par
sons is having a hearing before Mag
istrate Johnson this afternoon.
