ANNIE WAS A BAD GIRL.
She Tried to Disfigure Soldier with
Beer Glass.

Annie Regan, well but unfavorably
known i'm police circles was again a
guest at the "home for the erring ones"
in Center street last night She was
taken there under arrest primarily for
actually daring to raise here arm to
smite with beer glass a soldier who
was doing the "honors" in the Colum-
bia hotel on Lackawanna avenue.
Before she reached the station house,
however, she managed TO do enough
to materially add to the first charge
Of drunkenness. She sang army songs,
punctuating and emphasizing the af-
fecting parts by kicking the glass out
of the cab windows. They really did
use a cab to convey her to the police
station. After being locked up she
sang Hail Columbia" and woke the
only other inmate, who forclbly asked
her "to go to- and be quiet. She
didn't any such a thing.

Among the decisions handed down by
the superior court at Harrisburg yes
terday was one affirming the finding
Of the local court in the case of Jadwin
against Hurley.
This suit grew out of a dispute over
commissions on Il real estate sale be-
tween c. =. Jadwin, the real estate
agent, and r. T.. Hurley, the promoter
of the North Park addition 20 Scranton.
The suit itself. involving as it did only
5000, was of no more than passing inn
portance, but when il came 20 be tried
the defense raised Il point of law that
was of extreme importance, as it
brought into question the legality of
nearly every mercantile license under
which business is conducted in Scran-
ton.
In addition t. defending the case on
its merits, Mr.. Hurleys attorney, T. +.
Wells, made the technical contention
that the plaintiffs real estate broker
license, issued by the city treasurer
was invalid and that. in consequence
| thereof. he could not. collect at law for
| services rendered as a real estate
| broker.
This contention was founded on the
| alleged repeal of a special law for this
city at it's inception by subsequent gem
eral legislation.
The special law authorized the city
| councils to name the city mercantile
| appraiser and directed the city treas
| urer to receive the assessments and
| issue the licenses. The general leEis-
| lation made the matter of mercantile
| appraisement a county affair and the
! county treasurer issued the licenses.
| The city continued to issue certain
| special licenses, such as those for real
estate brokers. This, the defense in
the suit in Easton claimed. was wrong
! Judge Edwin Albright, of Allentown,
sustained this contention Of the defense
and now the Superior court upholds
| Judge Albright
