They said they were passing the store when they heard a crash as they were about twenty feet away. At the same time they saw a man run past them and vanish into the darkness at the corner of Main and East Main streets. Officer William Politis testi- fled, however, that he was at Main and Myrtle streets and saw nobody on the street in the vicinity of the showcase, with the exception of Smith, Kelleher, Fred Paisson, aged 18, of 45 Albany avenue, and a fourth young man who ran and was not caught. Paisson, who was charg- ed with drunkenness, admitted hav- ing had “a few drinks,” but denied he was under the influence of li- quor. He was given the same pen- alty as the others. Drinking, Police Declare Supernumerary Officer Lovines Johnson arrested Kelleher, Officer Politls arrested Paisson and Super- numerary Officer Muszynski arrest- ed Smith.

Mrs. Peters admit- ted selling liquor for 20 cents & drink, Mr. Greenstein said and he recommended that she be fined $100 and costs, Judge Roche accepted the recom- mendation and in view of the straitened circumstances mentioned by Mr. Greenstein placed Mrs. Peters on probation to pay the fine.

Stanley Luskowicz, aged 36 years, of 1555 Corbin avenue, was charged with breach of the peace and as- saulting Charles Panasavich of 245 Clinton street. He admitted that he struck the latter during a scuffle last night at his home and he regretted he did not “hit him better.” I don't care, though,” he said. “Let him go.” 1t seemed, from the testimony, that Leskowicz objected to the ac- tions of a girl who, he said, appear- ed to be endeavoring to entice men who were making a call at his home. Panasavich heard the girl screaming and felt impelled to in- vestigate with the result that he was punched by Leskowicz. Judge Roche imposed a fine of $5 and costs.

PORTER SONS IS Yo off HALF-PRICE DAY Y orr ON ALL OUR FLOOR SAMPLES OF ALL OUTDOOR FURNITURE CHIGAGO'S MOVIES CLOSED BY STRIKE All Theaters But Legitimate Houses Are Afiected lights of virtually all Chicago movie houses remained dark today as near- ly 400 theaters joined in a threaten- ed finish struggle with union labor. Fifteen thousand persons—opera- tors, musicians, ushers and stage hands—were without jobs and near- yly 400,000 daily movie fans were de- prived of a place to go by the dis- pute over two union movie operators which brought about the row. The- ater owners estimated their total loss daily during the trouble would be close to $200,000, The only theaters not affected were the legitimate housesand a few neighborhood movie places, and even the neighborhood houses were periled by the announcement that film exchanges may take part in the struggle and withhold films. Going into effcct without pre- | vious notice at 6 o'clock last night, 1!1\1: closing of the theaters caught - | thousands of patrons downtown for the evening shows and crowds wan- dered through the streets during the evening. The closing of the theaters follow- ed a decision of the Chicago exhibi- !'tors' association to discharge all { union motion picture machine oper- ators and suspend employment of all other help as a reprisal to a strike called by the union operators in Orpheum circuit theaters. The strike was called because one of theaters, |adopting a new policy, had cut its staft of operators from four to two. A mecting between . the union | leaders and theater owners yester- day was brief and ended in disagree- ment. Both factions announced they would not compromise. More complications were predicted Including all Porch and Lawn Furniture and on all Couch Hammocks and Gliders.
