Kirkham, looking at Mary’s | bandaged eye, imposed a flné of $5 | and costs on Anthony. The accused was represented by Attorney A. A. | Greenberg. | Prosecutor Klett stated that his in- | formation on the case was that Bug- liarllo, who is but 17 years old and is { employed at the Corbin Screw Corpor- "atxon, essayed to give the Adams gir who is a Portuguese, a hug yesterda; She did not enjoy the experience and | slapped his face, whereupon the boy | threw a handful of brass screws at | her. One struck her in the eye, dam- aging that optic to a considerable ex- tent. Attorney Greenberg’s version was different. He explained that his client did not care about the Adams girl, but she insisted in forcing her attentions on him and finally threw a handful of screws at him, whereupon he retaliated in semi-self defense. Martin Rogala, for whom the police have been looking since January 19, appeared in court today with his law- yer, Irving Rachlin, and pleaded not guilty to assaulting Salome Germalo. Whatever 1lt took place, the ac- cused said, was excused by the fact that the complainant had slandered his wife. A fine of $7 and costs w imposed. The only other case in court was that of John Slater, fined $7 and costs for over-driving a horse and cruelty | to the animal. James White, a livery man, said that last evening he noticed what he thought was a runawhay com- ing up Franklin square and when he | stopped it he found that Slater was in the sleigh. The man ran away, he | said. White also said that the horse | was sweating and panting as though it had been driven hard. Slater de- nied the charge, explaining that he | had given the horse its head, but did | not over-drive it. He also denied that the animal was puffing and said the only reason he ran away was that| White, who “thinks he's a pretty smart guy,” tried to hit him with the horsewhip. FEIGNS INSANITY TO AVOID DRAFT ; | | | Anthony Pachofski, 27, Held op Charge of Not Registering on June 5.

Pachofski was originally arrested | on complaint of his wife, who charged | him with failing to provide for her | support.

Exemptions from the closing order | do not meet the case if fuel needed to keep iron and steel works going has been diverted to uses higher up on the |pi' ferred list. | " rhere has been prompt and gener- ally strict compliance with the Gar- ! field order not only by producers but mnaufacturer consumers of iron and steel. Blast furnaces were consid- ered exempt, and open hearth fur- naces in many cases produced much more steel than would take care of exempted rolled product, the re- mainder ng into stock ingots. Rolling miil operation was much cur- tailed. The steel trade sees the bearing of weck’s events on the effort at .flngton to have steel production prices put under the same execu- tive control that now exists in food and fuel opinion being that chances of the I'omerene bill have not been helped by the results of central- ized power over fuel. a result of the country’'s engross- ment with the throwing of millions of workers into idleness the steel market has had fewer transactions than in ; months. | A large amount of structural steel | for Government work is under inquiry. Government needs in France are still | unsatisfied. Inquiries on behalf of the gnal corps call for 500 buildings. December bookings of fabricating works were apparently more than in November when the high record of thie year, 77 per cent. of capacity, was made. Some agricultural implement manu- facturers have come into the market for early requirement in both softand hard steel bars, on a scale pointing to large production in the coming sea- son. In the automobile trade a rather hopeful view is taken, some loaking for about 50 per cent. normal output. Government awards are being made on 4,400 cars for use in France, 400 being of narrow gage. Same buyers of finishe steel for commercial uses have found it easier to place cantracts for plates, shapes, sheets and bars and mills have been rather more inclined to accept export business on which permits have been obtainable. Comment has been passed on the ac- tion of the Navy department in scek- ing bids on various products included in the official price schedule, but not among the few on which prices were specifically announced by the president It does not appear, however, that bid- ders are actually naming competitive prices in such cas Selling of pig iron for second half delivery is of larger proporitions. interest sold 10,000* tons in oastern Pennsylvania far such delivery other considerable sales we been made in New York.
