A sudden jump in the price of re- pairing a coat dld not meet with the approval of Peter Jacob ot 371 Main street when he went to the tailor shop on Fast Maln street conducted by Louls Roscnberg last night and the result was that a tug-of-war de- veloped between the two men for possession of the garment, The struggle waxed furlously for a short time, the men knocking down suits and other xurmanz that were hanging in the shop &s they battled, but it was ended when Supernumer- ary Policeman Ernest Bloomquist happened upon the scene and placed both under arrest on charges of breach of the peace and assault, Jacob told Judge William ¥, Man- gan, who heard the case after Judge Alling had disqualified himself, that he left the coat at the shop Tuesday for repairing and Rosenberg told him the price was 50 cents, Jacob pand him, but when he returned last night tor the coat Rosenberg told him it would cost 25 cents more, and Jacob objected. An attempt by Ja- cob to get possession of the coat without paying the 25 cents caused the trouble. Judge Mangan dis- charged Roaenberz and fined Jacob $5 and costs.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1925, TAKE FRST STEPS FOR CREDIT BUREAL Dead Bal” Will Be Islted Like Smallpox Patient The New Britain Credit Bureau should be established as soon as possible; there is great need of such an organization in this city for the dissemination of credit information to put a stop to the practices of those who go to stores and make purchases with the thances of pay- ment very slight. This was ,the consensus of 30 business men who last evening met at the Burritt hotel to discuss plans for such a move- ment and prepare tentative plans for making it a reality, That the need of such an organ- ization is very urgent was brought out at the meeting, At present mer- chants are exposed to the danger of aMowing credit to thobe who already have unpald accounts with othur merchants, With the existence of such a bureau and the spreading of this information a check could be made on those who buy merchandise with no idea of paying for it. Doug- las Johnston of the City Coal and Wood company, pointed out that honest Customers who pay their bills must also pay the obligations of the dishonest customers, in- directly. Harry I. Haynes, of the Fidelity Finance corporation, who is one of the most active sponsors of the bu- reau's establishment spoke on the subject, comparing the man who fails to meet his obligations to a person who has smallpox and who is consequently isolated, He said that by the medium of such a bu- reau the “dead beat” can also be |isolated so that merchants will not be exposed to any dishonesty on on their part. In speaking of the work of the bureau, Mr. Haynes said that upon its establishment |each merchant would send to it a list of his accounts of those who presumably have no intention of paying their bills .and those who, by all appearances, expect to meet their obligations but who are slow in doing so. +After the bureau has been established he said that a cir- cular magazine can be published, containing information of value to bureau members. Speaking of any proposed affillation with the Hart- ford Credit bureau, Mr. Haynes said that he thought there should be none although cooperation would be advisable. After considerable discussion a committee was appointed to formu- late definite plans for the organiza- tion and draw up a set of by-laws and rules. The members of this committee are: W. J. Dunlay of Barry & Bamforth, F. O. Rackliffo of Rackliffe Bros. Co, Inc., 8. M. Davidson of Davidson & Leventhal, Thomas Kilfoil of the Van Way Co., Inc., Thure Bengston of the Adkins Printing Co., Charles Myers of My- ers Bros, Douglas Johnston of the City Coal and Wood Co., Joseph M. Chernoff of the Iidelity Iinance corporation, Charles W, Hawkins of the Commercial Trust Co., Edward Ieldman of the Boston Clothing Co., Charles Lewis of the American Pa- per Goods Co., Michael W. Bannan of the O'Neil Tire and Battery Co., Harry Haynes of Fidelity Finance corporation, and Attorney David L. Nair. This committee, at a meeting di- rectly after the larger meeting, elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Joseph M. Chernoff; vice- president, Harry F. Haynes; secre- tary, Douglas Johnston, treagurery Walter Bassford. Several plans were offered by members of this committee but it was finally decided to recommend that the bureau be incorporated for $2,000, with the price of shares scl at $5, par value. These shares would be sold to bureau members, but would only be initial payments and would entitle them to no serv- A stipulated serivce charge would be made for the service each month. Whether the charge would be the same for all members, or whether it would vary according to the use which each member had for the bureau was not decided. It was voted to leave this question to a committee composed of Douglas Johnston, Charles Myers, Charles Hawkins and Michael Bannan., The bureau would be governed by a board of directors elected by the JANE COWL SPEAKS ONMAUGHTY SHows Thinks “Desire Under the Elms” Is Work of Art New Haven, Feb, 26.~~Jane Cowl, interviewed by the Yalg News, while playing here, declared In discussing the attempt to censor certain Broad- way playg that “personally 1 do not belleve that either the public or the newspapers will accomplish anything by figuratively spanking gr putting to bed the Ney York managers' Censorship, she sald, was in the first place an abridgement of free- dom ‘of speech, The use of it, she befteved might lead to failure. “I most assuredly do not belleve in unbridigd leense,” the actress fs quoted as saying, “but it scems a great shame that, because of a few truly salacious plays, all the drama dealing with subjects, which might have been termed immoral 30 years ago, should be swept away at one blow by a group of narrow-minded or unthinking people.” Discussing the merits of “Desire Under the Elms,” one of the plays the status of which s questioned, of art.” great moral lesson,” she said.

Many of the merchants who were not there last night or who were not represerited had been approached previously by the leaders in the movemefit and it is reported that the current opinion is that such an organization is in much demand. The special subcommittee of the general committee elected at last night's meeting met this noon, when two plans for arriving at the serv- ice charge to be made were sub- mitted. The first plan, submitted by Charles Hawkins, would base the | charge on the number ot accounts which a merchant has on his books. The second plan, submitted by Jo- seph Chernoff, would provide, for a charge of from $1 to $6 a month. A list of the merchants and profes- sional men would be compiled and a charge which it is thought would be commensurate with the estimat- { ed value of the bureau to each par- ticular merchant would be made. Both these plans will be submit- ted to the larger committee of 14 at a meeting to be held at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening at the Burritt | hotel and in turn would be present- | ed at the second mass meeting of |the New Britaln merchants to be held at 8 o'clock Monday evening also at the hotel, In this unusual loaf the Six Bakers made the bread that women really want to serve.
