A COMMON PRACTICE.

The practice is not at all uncommon,
but the public does not hear of the
cases in the great majority of instances
because a settlement is effected and
the record of the cases 90 not come to
light
Obtaining goods by false pretenses is
the favOrite charge upon which these
sharks base a prosecution. A poor and
ignorant foreigner buys groceries or
clothing or some such goods of one of
these shark shopkeepers. Sickness, the
loss of his job. or trouble of one sort
or another leaves the debtor without
means to pay his bill at the end of the
month.
The storekeeper Is more than pleased
at this. Had the debtor come in and
paid his bill the merchant would have
been necessarily satisfied with his or
dinary profits, but if the opportunity
of getting him into court is presented
the profits and a good-sized bonus will
be forthcoming.
The merchant goes to an alder
man and sWears out warrant,
charging false pretenses, making in
formation to the effect that the de-
fendant told him he owned property.
The poor ignorant fellow is arrested
held for court under excessive bail, and
as he is about to be led off to Jail,
third party, generally some relative Of
the merchant or the alderman, offers
to become his bondsm man for consid-

Day before yesterday, Joseph Suplin-
ski, of Dodgetown, was sent up to the
county Jail by Alderman Millet, of the
Sixth ward,to await trial on the charge
of larceny by bailee. The prisoner,
through Attorney p. f. Loughran, pro-
tested to court that he had been Illegal
ly deprived of his liberty and Judge
Archibald granted a writ of habeas COR
pus, returnaJle yesterday morning at
10 o'clock.
a glance at the transcript was suf-
ticicnt to satisfy the judge that Suplin-
ski he'd been wrongfully imprisoned.
The charge as set forth by the alder-
man was that Suplinski had been COM
mitted "for the taking and keeping of
one suit of clothes" All this Suplinski
did, but not in such n manner, the
hearing proved, as would warrant even
a less ignorant or unscrupulous man
than the average back lots alderman
from knowing that he had not laid
himself liable to the charge Of larceny
by bailee.
1t was simply another case of at
tempting to use the criminal courts 20
enforce the collection of a debt. Suplin
ski bought a suit of clothes from Max
ROsenbluth and, failing to pay for it in
the stipulated time, the merchant had
him arrested for ;tealng, and the
alderman sent him to Jail il default of
bail.

EARTHQUAKES IN GREECE.
Some Villages Completely Destroyed
and Others Greatly Damaged.

Athens, Jan. PA strong seismic
disturbance was felt this morning
about $50 o'clock throughout the Pelo-
ponnesus Ghe southern part of the
kingdom of Greece and especially in
the southwestern departments of the
peninsula. All the houses in the town
Of Philiatra, in the department of Mes
selia, on the IOnian coast, lave been
damaged and the inhabitants are now
camping out in the suburbs. The viii
lagos in the vicinity of Philatra were
completely destroyed and many people
slightly injured. The villages of Ky
.parissia and Staso were also practically
destroyed, though it is not known as
yet whether there were any victims
there.
Much damage to property was done
at Navarino, a seaport six miles north
of Modon. whose harbOr witnessed the
victory of the English. French and
Russian fleets over those of the Turks
and Egyptians in 1927, and considerable
loss is reported from Calamata, capital
Of the department of Messenia, near the
head of the gulf of KOrOn.
The shock was severly felt in the dis
trict of Zante, capital of the Ie0ian
island of that name. but there was no
loss of life or property there. Many
slighter shocks have occurred during
the day and night and the people at nu-
merOuS towns and villages are afraid
to return to their homes. The authOri-
ties are doing all in their power to fur
nish tents supplies.

there are people who make just such
threats.
AS showing how far the province
has drifted backward since the first
announcement that the customs were
not to be freely expended for provincial

reports that a band of men are COM

have been murdered. and that another
band in the Guantanamo district have
burned all the cane prepared for press

outbreaks" says the Heraldo, ARE the
first fruits of the money Capitalization
system"
AS yet the Mayari report has not
been verified. and Mr.. Brooke, owner
of the Isabel plantation, who arrived
yesterday, says that the burning re-
ported on the plantation must have
been done since he left, as the cane
there was intact when he started for
Santiago. He does not accept the re-
port absolutely, but says hat the adj

WEST VIRGINIA RETALIATION
Neither Party Is Yet Certain of a
Majority.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. Pas the
West Virginia legislature has a majority
of only one on joint ballot for senator.

struggle is called by some a state edition
of the Hayes-Tilden contest. The fac
tional fighting was ended when JOIN r.
McGraw last Wednesday night received
the Democratic caucus nomination. and
on the following night n. b. Scott was
made the Republican nominee. Since then
both parties have been working for par
tisan advantages in the settlement of con-
tested seats. The Republicans are fight
ing to hold their own. and have a major
itv of one, since two of the Republicans
have been unseated in the house. AS the
Democratic majority In the house threat
ems to unseat others, the Republican ma
jority in the senate has pending three res
olutions for contests in the upper branch.
The b~alloting for senator begins tomor-
row noon, but before that order is
reached it is expected that there will be
lively scenes in both branches of the leg
islature in the cross-fring in the line of
retaliation. The balloting may be con-
tinued from day to day until both sides
get enough of the retaliation programme.

controls to some other candidate, he
can name the next senator and thereby
improve his chances to succeed Senator
