I HOTELS PLAN TO PROSECUTE THOSE PRACTICING "GYP" CREATE "WAR FUND" TO USE IN TAKING CARE OF CROOKS Hard going is promised for all persons who pass bad checks or put over confidence games on Freeport hotels. Leading hotels throughout the state have established a "war fund" to be used in running down, returning and prosecuting all such offenders. In the past whenever a hotel was victimized the presecution, and all the expense entailed, was strictly a problem of the individual hotel. Under the new plan the war fund, to which leading hotels in Chicago and downstate contribute, is employed for that purpose.

Prosecution is taken out of the hands of the victimized hotel and is administered through a protective committee made up of members of the Illinois Hotel association and the Greater Chicago Hotel clation.
