THE CASE DISMISSED,
Point Raised at Trial of Alleged
"Squatter" at Market.

Judge Kimball. presiding over the Dis
trict branch of the Police Court, today d.
rected a jury to return a verdict of not
guilty in the case of Joseph Vittonoi. who
was brought before the court on a charge
of engaging in business as huckster
without first having obtained the necessary
license. Vittonoi was one Of twenty-five
persons who were arrested for selling pro-
duce not of his own raising on the country
line at the Center market.
After the first witness, Detective Watson
had been heard. who said he saw the de-
PENDANT making sales from his stand on the
sidewalk on the line Attorney Davis.

that the law only prohibited the sale of
produce from wagons without license, and
that his client was not liable under the
charge brought against him. Judge Kim

jury to return verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANT.
The cases against the other persons were
brought under the same charge and they

of Vittonoi the charges will be dropped

made sales from wagons they will have to
stand trial.
The fight against the produce dealers was
inaugurated because of a complaint made
to the police by the members of the Retail
Grocers Associate who pointed out that
number of persons were in business on
the "line" at the Center market selling as
their own product produce which they had
purchased. In many instances it is said.

The Stock Market Opened

GOOD GAINS SCORED

The Close Was Strong and the Gains Of

NEW YORK. October 2.-Dealings showed
considerable activity and buying orders

TO AWAIT RETIREMENT
Rear Admiral Kempf Detached From
Pacific Naval District.

Rear Admiral l.. Kempff has been de-
tached from duty commandment of Pacific
naval district, San Francisco. and ordered
to his home to await retirement on the
18th instant.
Admiral Kempf is from Illinois. and has
been in the navy since September, 1857, a
period of forty-six years. of which he spent
nearly twenty years at sea.
Admiral kempf was In command of the
American vessels at the time the forts
on the Taku river. in China. were captured
by the powers June II. 1900.
Admiral Kempff and the American YES
sells were not in the fight. He closely fol-
lowed his instructions to act concurrently
with the other foreign commanders for the
protection of Americans and other for
eigners. II is believed. however, that his
course-sharply criticised in some quarters
was due to his disapproval of the attack
not as unjust but as inexpedient so long
as the allies utterly lacked the power to
save the foreigners beieaguered at Pekin
from the fury which such an act would
excite. Subsequent events considered
by many as tending to justify his course
on this ground of prudence.

of police. has forwarded to the Commission
ers the papers covering the recent trials Of
several officers ri various attractions of
the rules. In the case of Private M. G.
O'Brien. found guilty on a charge Of gross
neglect Of duty. Major Sylvester says the
officer has made promises to the depart
ment which he hopes he will keep. On the
occasion of the alleged neglect the officer
was watching certain violators Of the law.
and while so waiting went to sleep. In
view Of the officers frank acknowledgment

be fined only s. and deprived of five days
leave of absence, to which he would other
wise be entitled.
Major Sylvester recommends that the
charges of conduct unbecoming an officer

missed. and that similar action be taken
with regard to charges of the same char
acter against Private w. T. Holoran.
Private 8. w. Buckley. found guilty Of
neglect of duty will be fined $40.
Private j. H. Fletcher was found guilty
of violating the police manual while on

ton. A fine of so will be imposed.

NEW YORK. October 2.-Ladenburg
Thalman & Co, the financial representa-

regarding the affairs of the company. Sea-
board shares were very weak on the curb,
opening with losses of ) and ~ per cent for

man Co. recently took over the stock
market holdings of Mddendorf 4 Co. OF
Baltimore and J. S. Williams & Co. of
Richmond, both of which identified with
the Seaboard system.
This explains in part the recent heavy
liquidation of such stocks as Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio. Chesapeake and Ohio
NorfoIk and Western and few others Of
that group. The Middendorf and Williams
firms are said TO have held from $1,000 to

PREVENTED BY STORM
AIRSHIP WAS READY FOR A TEST

Both won over their opponents in the semi
finals today. Miss Carpenter defeating Miss
Katherine Harley of Fall River. two up
and one to play. and Miss Anthony beating
Miss Fanny Osgood of Brookline by the
still narrower margin of one up.
Miss Osgood put up one of the Quickest
uphill games ever seen in a gOk tOurna-
ment, and for a time it looked If she
would win a game thai apparently had been
hopelessly lost by her poor putting on the
outward journey.
Miss Anthony was dormie four at the
fourteenth hole; then, with almost certain
defeat before her, Miss Osgood won the fir-
teenth, sixteenth and seventeenth holes,
her daring brassy shots aiding her ma;eri-
ally in winning. Miss Anthony showed the
strain during this part of the play, missing
a three-foot putt for the game on the fif-
teenth and bunkering her ball playing for
the sixteenth.
Her drive for the home hole went ITO
yards out in the rough. She played beauti-
fully. however. and finally holed out a
three-foot putt for half and the game
