T. (Bud) Simons, charged with destruction of personal property, returned a verdict of guilty in the Federal district court. No time for impos- ing sentence has been set by Judge Justin W. Harding. Simons was indicted for alleged destruction of property in the mu- nicipal jail. ‘Asst. U. S. Attorney George W. Folta appeared for the Government and George B. Grigs- by represented the defendant. The jury trying the case was composed of: H. Berg, Mrs. G. H. Peterson, Mrs. Hans Berg, M. S. Wilson, F. M. Hungerford, Gerald Clarke, Mrs. Nick Trierschield, B. H. Howard, A. R .Edwards, Mrs. Tom Ness, Louis Susort, Mrs. H. Stonehouse. TWO PLEAD GUILTY Hugo Bergstrom and Henry John- son, indicted for larceny in a ware- house, entered pleas of guilty to the indictment, the latter yesterday and the former, who pleaded not guil- ty Tuesday, changed his plea to guilty today. ‘They were accused of stealing a quantity of sugar owned by George Brothers from a warehouse on the City dock. No time was fixed for sentence in this case. Bergstrom was to have been tried today. After he changed his plea to guilty, the jury was ex- cused until tomorrow morning. Klapisch Is Fined Henry Klapisch, former lessee and operator of a herring plant at Killisnoo, indicted here last year for giving bad checks in the sum of $628.35, through his attor- ney Frank H. Foster, entered a plea of guilty today. Mr. Foster in-| formed the Court that all of the checks had been made good by his client. Klapisch was fined $500 by Judge Harding and that amount was immediately paid by Mr. Fos- ter. Klapisch was arrested in New York several months ago and re- leased on bond. He did not return here for trial The conclusion of these actions almost clears the criminal calendar for the current term of Court, it was announced at the United States Attorney’s Office. There is an in- dictment against Bill Keene, to which a demurrer has been filed, and is still pending. It is probable this case will start tomorrow. An appeal case from Petersburg, on a charge of buying fish from unlicensed fishermen is on the docket, but there was some doubt about it being brought to trial. It is believed the present petit jury panel will be discharged from fur- ther duty within the next day or two. BRICK PLANTS ARE UTILIZED, WELFARE HELP CANTON, O., Oct. 21.—At last something edivre is coming from Canton's brick factories, and it is not wine brick, either. Canton brick factories have vol- unteered the use of their kilns for the drying of large quanties of food in a food preservation cam- paign by the Canton Welfare Asso- ciation. Tunnels used to dry brick before ideal for drying of great trays of apples, peaches, corn, beans and other vegetables and fruits.

Public baths cost four cents. a week, about $2.50 at the old ex- change. Only one room has heat, a fire- place. This costs about 60 cents a week. “You have to have a bit of fire, with the children,” she explains, half defensively. She cooks with gas and their lights are gas, too. They turn them off every night at 9 o'clock. “We can't afford more than that” she says. The gas costs about 35 cents a week. ‘They don't buy any clothes.
