Eventually, as the sun rose with all its usual splendor of the East, he spied the sign “Busi- ness More Than Usual” in Joe Sing's laundry. According to Joe's explanation, Mr. Heinz came back every day for his wash, though the laundry man had told him @ week would pass before the work would be finished. And tor- rents of abuse would daily greet the ears of the stolid Oriental. After the fourth day Joe said simply: “Don't bother me,” and finally Mr, Heinz is alleged to have taken two laundry checks for some unknown purpose. I shoot you if you don't leave me alone,” remarked Joe casually, But that wasn’t enough for Mr. Heinz. He had been looking for trouble for a week and here was his chance. He went to the cop on the corner and conveyed Joe's message. The cop returned with him and found a revolver under a pile of Mrs, Mur- phy’s husband's shirts. “I no shoot—just want him get t’hell out of the way,” explained Joe to His Honor. But even though there is much washing to be done in Chatham Square and suburbs, the wheels of the grand old temple of justice simply had to grind, and Joe was held for the higher court. Here is a chance for some good corporation lawyer to have his wash done. If only he can get Joe back to the ironing board, | HEN there was Mike O'Brien.

HAVANA, Oct. 20 (Associated Press).—A manifesto issued to-day | by the Organizing Committee of the | recently formed Cuban Sugar Manv- | facturers and Planters’ Association, | addressed to the American people and press, demands an open market for its product. | The association protests against an | attempt arbitrarily to restrict sugar | prices and declares that if Cuba can- | not obtain adequate prices, or “i ample margin of protection,” creased produgtion of sugar auto ically will take place, thus presenting a serious danger to all nations, The manifesto says: | “The Cuban producers willingly | agreed during the war to the regula- tions suggested by the United States, while realizing that they were giving up an opportunity to obtain double prices in an open market, even though general conditions were unfavorable, with uncertain wage conditions, scar- city of labor and increasing cost of commodities.” The manifesto complains that the Cuban producers did not participate in the $30,000,000 reserve accumulated by the Sugar Equalization Board und points out that the increase in the price of sugar 1s not in proportion to the increase in the cost of general articles of consumption imported into Cuba, right I mean ‘AN “Lost and Found” Mddvertised in The World or to “Lost and Found Bureau, 103, World Build for thirty days. een at any of “Lost and Fi wan be left at Advert isin, y Call 4000 Beekman, New York. op Brookiya Office, 4100 Main, THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1919.
