J. R. Kolins Trying Same
Old Tricks
J. R. Rollins, who was seat to the
penitentiary from Skagway lor obtain
ing money under false pretenses, is out
of the custody of Uncle Sam. and is op
erating iut'alifornia in a manner that
seems familiar to the people of the
north. The San Francisco Examiner,
of September 8, containg the following:
"J. K. Rollins, who claims to be a
weaithy mining man from Alaska,
offers for a *200 deposit to take thirty
young men to his Alaskan mines as
clerks at a salary of $200 a month. The
police of Oakland are investigating the
man's operations, but so far they have
been unable to secure anything definite
enough to stop Rollins from hiring
young;men to go on the trip to White
Eagle Pass, after they have depos
ited with Rollins $200 in cash as a
bond of good faith on their part
that they will work for him after
they get to Alaska. It's the deposit
which has interested the police in
Rollins.
"Rollins, in black Prince Albert,
white checked trousers, and soft felt
hat. arrived in Oakland several days
ago, opened a bedroom office in the
Pleasant hotel, connected himself with
an employment agency and began a
campaign for clerks. Besides the $200
a month the clerks were to have all
expenses paid from the time they sign
ed the contract until they left the em
ployment of Rollins. In lieu of the
promise of these things, Rollins de
mands a cash 'bond' as soon as the con
tract is signed.
"Yesterday Chief of Police Wilson of
Oikland read Rollins' offer and called
to see him at the Pleasant hotel, Rol
lins admitted his proposition and de
clined to say who he was other than
that he represented a company which
in turn :epreseuted millions.
"In Rollins' bedroom office he keeps
a stenographer busily engaged making
copies of the contract which those
seeking the 5200 positions are asked to
sign. The clerk says he has worked
for Rollins for several weeks, but
knows nothing about him other than
what Rollins himself says. He also
volunteered the information that 25
young men -had signed this contract
and paid their cash bo id for $200.
"When Rollins' office was -visited
yesterday the man was not in but one
of the 'hired' clerks who was waiting
to go to Alaska, explained the proposi
tion and showed a copy of ttie contract
each one must sign. Later Rollins ap
peared and said:
" 'Before I sign this contract with
you I must ask you a few questions.
Do you drink and are you a tumbler?'
"When these questions are answered
to his satisfaction, he was ready to sign
the agreement. He explained that
all that would be required of a clerk
*a< to be aDle to read and write,
keep time for eight or nine men, and
occasionally help a little in the hand
ling of ore.
" 'But why do you need thirty clerks,
as you say you do, to keep time for
eight or nine men in your mines?' "
"Rollins declined to answer as also
he declined the offer of eliminating the
9200 cash bona and permit the man
who was engaged, to pay his own 1
expenses to the mines As soon as it
was intimated that he was a total
stranger in the town and that it was
rather risky to pay him $200 he left
the office. Two young men entered the
office during the questioning and were !
introduced as two among those who
were going to the mines on the $200 1
proposition."
