BRIGID HAS FOUR GRADUATES Closing Exercises Attract a Great Crowd to Fine En- tertainment at Theater STAGE HUNDREDS ON Bright Pupils Render Their Difficult Parts in Way That Commands Applause St. Brigid’s School held its closing exercises in the Alcazar Theater yes- terday afternoon. The entertainment provided was a credit to the school, the pupils who participated and those who planned and directed it. There were four young lady grad- uates of the academic course, three of whom participated in the programme. Miss Mary G. Barry was salutatorian and gave an essay upon “Read Not Books Alone, but Man.” Miss Marga- ret Haley's essay, “To Thine Own Seit Be True” was well received and Miss Loretta O'Brien as valedictorian, with an essay, “Non Ministrari sed Minis- trare,” spoke thoughtfully of the high influence of good example upon the lives of others and closed with a feel- ing farewell to classmates and teach- ers. At the end of the exercises the hon- ors were distributed by the pastor of St. Brigid's, Father Cottle. It would be impossible to describe in | detaill the many excellent numbers of the long programme and to name all who took part therein would be to| write a roster of all the school’s pupils.

DAY IS FIXED FOR A HEARING Harbor Commissioners Agree to Proceed With Woodward Law Case on Monday Next WISE FILES COMPLAINT Three Firms Are Called Upon to Defend Selling Permits Giving Rights on Wharves The expected complaints against members of the Produce Dealers’ Pro- tective Association were filed before the Board of Harbor Commissioners yes- terday by Attorney Otto Wise. The es- sential allegation is that the partles complained of, although they hold per- mits that were issued by the Harbor Commissioners by virtue of which they are entitled to sell perishable produce on the State property in this city, have refused to sell their wares to solvent purchasers who are not in the combine. For this reason Attorney Wise, in be- half of the complainants, asked that, their permits should be taken from them. The complainants are Charles J. Ler- cari and J. Pierretti. The first named brought complaint against the Ameri- can Produce Company and Wolf & The complaint of Plerrett! is against L. Scatena & Co. COVERS TECHNICALITIES. ‘When the Harbor Commissioners met but two Commisgioners were present, | Messrs. Spear and Kirkpatrick. W. H. Davls, attorney for the board, was present. The complaints came up early in the meeting. Attorney Wise had them, and also had prepared formal notices to parties against whom they run, All the parties, so Wise said, had been notified of the bringing of the action. He requested that a hearing might take place as soon as possible. The board agreed to summon the par- ties in interest to appear for hearing at 10:30 a. m. next Monday. May 28 was the date on which, as al- leged, the American Produce Cnmpany and Wolf & Sons refused to sell to Ler- carl at the price placed on the goods by themselves. Lercari set up that he went to the American Produce Com- pany and there was informed that po- tatoes were selling at the rate of $1 65 per box. He put down the price of twenty boxes and he could not buy less than fifty boxes, | because it was so provided by the Pro- duce Dealers’ Protective Association. He also, as set forth in another com- plaint, visited Wolf & Sons, and while he offered the price that was asked by that firm for twenty bags of onions, at $1 per bag, he was refused the goods because the Produce Dealers’ Protec- j tive Association has decided that not less than twenty-five bags of onions | shall be sold to any purchaser. ANOTHER COMPLAINANT. In his complaint against L. Scatena & Co. it was alleged by Pierretti that | he was unable to buy twenty boxes of | potatoes at $1 55, the price asked for the | goods by L. Scatena & Co. Pierrettl and Lercari set up in their cumplalnls that they are solvent purchasers and that the request that permits to sell should be revoked was based on viola- tion of the Woodward law by the firm! that refused to do business with them, | and that this constituted- discrimina- tion, which the law was devised to pre- vent. There was little talk before the Har- bor Commissioners yesterday. The pro- ceedings were entirely preliminary.

The bonds had been fixed at $500 or $300 cash. Balley apparently hesitated to take ‘Wolf to the City Prison and asked the Judge what he should do. The Judge replied that he had enough to do to look after his own business, and ad- vised Balley to consult his superiors. Balley took Wolf to Chief Wittman and ‘Wolf asked the privilege of obtaining another surety. The chief instructed Bailey to accompany Wolf to Pine and | Kearny streets and if the surety could | not be procured to lock Wolf up. Later a friend of the prisoner put.up s:wo cash for his release. Nothing could have been more un- provoked than Wolf's attack on Cob- lentz, who is but half the disgraced ex-officer’s size.
