volume of trade was unsatisfactory in

Soods' collections were slow and an
unusually large number OF accounts

the Gays were warm and springIike
While the mud grew worse as the week
progressed. Special sales were the
chlef attraction among shoppers, and
rare bargains We're necessary to induce
people to buy.
There was no activity in real estate
and no deals of any magnitude were
recorded. This is not surprising as few
safes are recorded in January in any
year Owners are now awaiting until
spring. watching railroad and other de
EQUIPMENTS, and holding their property
at such high figures that no induce-

same time leading dealers look for live

Building operations seem to have let
up Tor the winter also. and many me-
chanlcS are temporarily out Of work
IL Is reported that there are more empty

than has been the case for a number
or years. This is accounted for by the
completion of great number of new
houses into which people have moved
Many renters, too, have moved into
apartment houses and terraces leaving
vacant houses.

The principal objection the parents
had was as 70 their youth, bur true love
could not be daunted and the coupIe
rianned their trip several days ahead.
one afternoon Miss Taylor asked her
parents for permission TO go TO the mat

their consent Instead OF going TO the
theatre they boarded the Lagoon train
and went to Pennington. After secur-
ing their license they were married by

the home industries be patronized as
literally as possible, consistent with
getting good work and material.

witness against Frank Sagiura who. 1t
vas Claimed, was her master and had
peen party TO her importation from
Japan. ''
AT yesterday afternoons hearing
there was fair attendance of resident
Japanese, but the girl sat apart with
her head bowed, apparently taking
little interest in the proceedings. She
was represented by Twonnev &,
ests were looked after by Assistant
District Attorney PenneI CherringtOn.
United States Chinese Immigration In
spectors McCabe and Lungley testified
TO finding the girl They said that she
was brought into this country by some
person unknown to them and that her
passage was paid by that person. They
related how they had traced her from

subsequent movements while here

The attorneys for the applicant filed
a brief covering their contentious. in
erect that nothing had been shown TO
warrant the government in restraining

quoted numerous authorities in support

Judge Marshall said that he would
take the matter under advisement. In

cision Monday.
d. S. Isaka and other japanese de-
clared after the trial that Mort Hash
imoto, the interpreter, had not trans
lated the girls answers correctly
1saka declared there was a plot on the
part of four or five local japanese to
secure money from Sagiura and the
