NO CORNER ON WALL PAPER.
Trust Did Not Pay and Will BE
Dissolved.

New York. July 1.-The following state
ment was issued tonight by President
Henry Burn OF the National Wall Paper
Company:
Although the company has now been in
existence Tor eight years and has done a
large business, Its profits have not been
commensurate with the expectations of The
stockholders. due 10 the fact that its exist
ence has to such an extent stimulated COM
petition that the number OF plants en-
gagged in the manufacture OF wall parer
has in that period doubled.
1t has also been demonstrated that the
Manufacture or wall paper involves ele-
mentS or SO peculiar a nature that IL can
not be as successfully conducted through
the medium OF q combination as II can
through independent and isolated plants.
Individual taste and the personality OF the
manufacture play an important part, which
In combination consisting of numerous
plants are apt to be overlooked.
For these and other reasons the entire
Board OF Directors, who themselves con-
stitute a majority of the stockholders. and
who are acting from a sincere conviction
that they are thereby promoting the in
terests OF all concerned. favors a disSolu-
uon or the corporation.
The Indebtedness OF the company Is
nominal ana will be paid in full before any
action looking toward dissolution is taken
"a plan Is being maturel which will in
all probability, result In the acquisition OF
the various plants by those who were
identified with them prior 20 their sale TO
the National Wall Paper Company
The essential feature of the plan will be
that the present Board of Directors will
have sole charge OF closing the affairs Of
the company, thereby AVOIDING the expense
and shrinkage in values ordinarily incident
10 the dissolution OF an important industri-
al Undertaking"
The directors will hold meeting on
July II.

Judge Hirzel Asserts That New
berry Law Bars Only Pianos
and Organs.
CRUSADE CASES DISMISSED.
Ruling Made in Judge Clark's Alb
sence-Father COfTey Says
Fight on Winerooms Will
BE Continued.

Judge Rudolph Hirzel, who was en-
gagged as special Judge to sit in the saloon
cases in the Court OF Criminal Correction.
rendered decision yesterday on the New
berry law which is regarded as a victory
for the saloon men. He held that the music
al Instruments the Newberry law attempts
TO prohibit are such as the piano. the organ
and like INSTRUMENTS: that stringed instru-
ments such the mandolin, guitar and
violin are not included IN the meaning Of
the law. According TO his ruling such in
struments may be kept about saloons with
perfect propriety.
The ruling was in response to motions
TO quash in the cases of J. e. Clifford,
Robert Kicks and f. l.. Arnett. Judge Hir-
gel rendered no opinion In the case further
than to state that he would sustain tho
motion TO Guash. Thomas MulvihiIi and
Miss Daisy Barbee. special attorneys. who
were engaged by the Ant!-Wineroom CRU
SADIE. argued against such a construction OF
the law. when it plainly included ANY
musical instrument whatever" but Judge
Hirzel was firm in his conviction that his
idea OF the law was that intended by the
trainers.
1t was agreed that Marks Gumbertz. who
was fined $50 by Judge Clark. should Pay
the fine and the other cases against him
should be nolle prosecuted Nolls prose
QuieS were entered in the cases OF James
Quinn. l.. J. Bruner. Robert Carlton. Lew
Thompson. Henry Roth. AL Canty. Harry
Williams and Joseph Roselr. Considerable
disappointment was expressed by the men,
bers OK the Anti-Wineroom Crusade who
were present. They considered the decision
as severe injury TO their cause.
Father James T. Coffey. the chairman of
the committee engaged in the prosecution.
said that the decision would not affect the
work or the future efforts OF the crusade.
The decision was a great disappointment
10 the anti-wineroom crusaders" he said.

See our attorney on the subject.
The decision practically says that a
violin is not musical Instrument. The
Newberry law was intended TO prohibit
music in saloons and was certainly not
aimed at any one class of instruments.
We shall continue 10 fight the cases
which come under our observation as Wig

resorts on Pine and Chestnut streets. We

for his assistance. He has refused licenses
