BLACKMAIL CHARGED Chicago, Dec. It.Four Southslde Armenian business men were arresled by Postal Inspector James K. Stews rt, yesterday, all charged with attempting to secure 110,000 from two of Chi cago's wealthiest Armenians by means of alleged blackmail, Garabed T. Puahman and Karekln T. Pushman. rug merchants are the men against whom the blackmail plot was directed, according to federal in spectors. - " A series of special' deliver.-' letters was received by the Pushmuns In which they and their families were threatened with . death unless .the money was delivered to the wrRcrs according to directions. The Push mans were told to wrap the money In a packxge, take It to a down town hotel, where they would find another letter awaiting them at the clerk's desk, and follow the direction con tained in the Inst letter. A decoy pafkage was prepared and under guard of federal Inspectors the Pushmuns did as ordered. The letter at the hotel desk ordered one of the Pushman brothers to take the money to a south aide drug store. When Pushman reached the drug store, how ever, plans miscarried and Pushman could -not tlnd the man to whom he was to deliver the money. Informa tion secured by the Inspectors at thl: potflC JiofeaVer, t&F'to tn ttrrestt' A Dialogue. (Contributed) "Mr. M, I noticed that your son-ln-lnw was up before the Police Judge for drunkenness. Where does he get the liquor ?" "Why not at the places where he used to. They are afraid to sell now for fear they will get arrested and so Jim sends off and gets It by express." "How does he know where to send?" "Haven't you seen It adverllned blji and plain. Jim don't read very well, but he can read whiskey wherever he sees It. Didn't you see It adertised on one of the bill boards?" "Is It possible? Who superintends those boards? He ought to be ar rested for allowing such advertise ments, lie Is breaking the law thi same as the man who sells It. "Can Jim write?" "No, but he has a boy who has bec to school, and is a bright, smart chap.' He tins to write the letters and sen t the money. I am afraid he will gut to like the stuff that is the ruin of his father. Is there no way to keep , It from coming Into Ashvllle?" "No, not now, but we hope therp soon will be. There whs a big meetlnv In Washington the other day, and th best men in the country asked for u law. to keep liquor out of prohibition stHtes. And they will get It too, . Then your sons-in-law will keep sober and no longer be poor and, mean." V r m r ..rsr -ts : r;? x AT-' f I , Y r LV- C i ''X ' i. I I a. bai ' .. A. ' II 3 L J G "?.
