YOUNG DUTCHMAN
BUYS HIMSELF RICH
New York, July 26.-After “buying”
the Brooklyn bridge for $500 and pay
ing $100 for a contract to shave 15,000
policemen every morning, Karl Hoopes,
a Holland barber is on his way back to
The Hague.
Hoopes came here with several thou
sand dollars to “blow” on investments
that would realize enormous margins.
The first individual he confided in was
a manufacturer of gilded cobbles.
Hoopes “fell” readily for the informa
tion that the stranger owned the Brook
lyn bridge, but was soured on it because
he did not realize $5,000 a day. He
readily accepted $500 for the big
structure.
Seeing Hoopes was “easy” the knight
of the ochre bricks then sold him the
barbering contract. He was pawning
the Flatiron building on Hoopes when
tho Dutchman smelled a rat. The
“con” man escaped with the coin.
