Meskill in police court this morning fined Isaac Altman and Philip Levson each $20 and costs for conducting a Swiss Bazaar store at 400 Main street with- out either city or state:license. They were defended by Lawyer M. D. Saxe. The case was featured by the inces- sant chattering of the two and Hyman Horvitz and Isadore Si- mons, their two witnesses, until Judge Meskill was compelled to advise Court Officer Malone that if he was unable to make them keep quiet he must remove them from the court room. After court Mr. Simons flew into a tirade and loudly declared that there accused to be prosecuted but are not. e declared that he is a taxpayer and helps to contribute towards the salar- ies of Detective Bamforth and Prose- cutor Klett, whose duties it is to look after this thing.

Lawyer Saxe thought differently and said that any- way the word “opening” in the adver- tisement carried the idea that the business would be a continuous one. Tries to Leave Court room. ‘While the lawyers were pleading their cases Altman attempted to leave the court room for some purpose and Judge Meskill had to interrupt the proceedings in order to advise one of the officers of his act. He was brought back by Officer Malone. Prosecutor Klett said that the pur- pose of the law is to protect the people from impositions such as are apparent by the offered sale of such valuable articles at such cheap rates, and also to protect the merchants who are established and who pay their fees. Both Men Are Fined. Judge Meskill remarked that from the testimony presented by the state he would have to find the accused guilty. He also said that some of the statements made by the witnesses for the defense had not been as straight- forward as they might have been and he would impose a fine of $20 and costs on each. Bonds for appeal were fixed at $200 each. Out of Snow, Into Jail. Out of the snow and into jail is John Hayes’ record for the past twenty-four hours. Yesterday morn- | ing Officer M. J.

Represent Farm Products. Of the tremendous flood of exports which began near the end of the fiscal year covered by the secretary’s re- port, many hundreds of millions rep- resent farm products. Between August 1, 1914, and Feb- ruary 1, 1915,” the report says, *ex- ports were $1,157,000,000 was imports $771,000,000, giving a favorable bal- ance of $386,000,000, of the total value of exports, $662,000,000 repre- sented agricultural and only $498,- 000,000 non-agricultural commodi- ties, chiefly manufactures. Agricultural Exports, “The total agricultural exports in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, practically the first year of the war, were $1,470.000,000, which is an in- crease of $356,000,000, or 32 per cent. over the average of the five years 1910-1914." ‘What is needed more, perhaps, than anything else, the secretary says, rant was issued and served by De- tective Bamforth late yesterday after- noon. Sergeant Bamforth testified that when he visited the store he found it poorly furnished as to fixtures and that a display of handkerchiefs and ladies’ combs was on an improvised counter made by laying boards over some boxes and covering them with paper. At first, the sergeant said, Levson told him he was the proprietor and if he found trade good he might con- tinue in business. Later, when in- formed who his visitor was, Levsoa denied that he was the owner, but said that J. Croll was the proprietor. During the conversation Altman re- turned and demanded that he be told what the trouble was, saying that he was a partner and ought to know. Questioned further, he said he had obtained an option of the store and had paid part of the rent with monay furnished by Croll. Tater Croll came in but as he could not talk English the officer could get no in- formation from him. Isador Simons, who owns the build- ing in which the store is located, en- tered during the conversation and asked Altman if he intended to take out a lease, buf—was informed the rent was too high. He admitted to departed, promising never to do 4 “‘come-back” act. City Items I' It will pay you to have Besse-Le- land Co. cash your Christmas Checks. advt.

Henry N. Lee, business manager of the Herald, testified that he was given an advertisement by Mr. Altman who told_him that Croll was financially re- sponsible for the store. Prosecutor Klett tried to introduce the adver- tisement but Lawyer Saxe objected on the grounds that it was not material. He was sustained. Advertising man- azer Walsh of the Record also testi- fied.

This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons fatfoods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott’s Emulsion should always be l taken for colds, and it does more— 5 c As I OR ' A | builds strength to prevent sickness. tt’s Emulsion contai H For Infants and Children, Scot ins Nature’s In reply to a question Mr. Rossberg said the icehouse has a capacity of between 6,000 and 7,000 tons. Mr. Landers said the structure is a ram- shackle and he couldn’'t understand | how the members of the original com- | mittee ever got by with it. ii—cs3.... noJ9f vbg vbgk vbgk vbg Mr. McDonough said he couldn’t understand why more than 5,000 tons could not be crammed into it. Mr. Curtis said shrinkage would cut down the amount received in the city to 2,500 tons and that the ice business has been enormously expensive thus far. Tt will cost more and if the finance board will stand for the amount it will cost he will set up the committee to the cigars. Mr. Dolan thought the public had bene- fitted by the business, getting better prices from other dealers because of the competition. Chairman Jester, although personally not favoring the project, found much sentiment among the people for it. They appealed to him to save the icehouse and he felt that it was a duty imposed upon him on .that account. : Councilman Landers thought the people didn’t realize what they were asking for and would not stand for the expense. He wondered if it is possible to repair the house so that in the end the money will revert to the city treasury. Mr. Curtis did not agree to stand for any expense that would not result in permanent worl. Mr. Dolan said the city meeting vas unanimous for the ice project and that the committee should not take it from them. He announced that he would fight in the council to retain it. He asked what Wexler & Stein had agreed to do for $1,700. Mr. Rossberg said they were to sheath the house, put in turnbuckles, rvods and straps, pull the house into shape and arrange for ventilation. Mr. Curtis said it couldn’t be done for the money. I Mr. McDonough moved to recom- mend to the council that $6,000 he appropriated not more than half to be spent this vear. This motion caused more discussion but with it~ tle result and Mr. McDonough offered to withdraw the motion but the com- mittee refused permission.
