ACCUSED OF SELLING
WITHOUT A LICENSE.
Joseph FeCicz to be Arraigned Be-
fore the Recorder Tonight
Had Sold the Saloon.

Charged with violating the city ex-
else ordinance Joseph Fecicz, who
keeps saloon at SO Catherine street,
Will be arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgill tonight. Fecicz, during
the past few months, had had consid-
erable trouble in connection with his
saloon and if found guilty tonight a
fine of $40 will be added to his
troubles
Some time ago Fecicz sold his
saloon to another party. The pur-
chaser paid $50 down and was to pay
the balance in instalments. Fecicz
applied for a transfer, which the ex-
else board granted. A few weeks
later, over some difficulty, Fecicz
gave the purchaser back his $50, and
again took possession of the saloon.
AS Fecicz had no license in his name,
the police ordered him to close at
once. A few days later Fecicz re-
ceived permission to reopen. The
charge on which the saloonkeeper
will be arraigned tonight, it is said;
was made by friends of the man who
purchased the saloon from Fecicz.
The accusers claim they went into
the saloon and purchased liquor at a
time when the law requires all sa-
looms to be closed.
Fecicz has retained Joseph e.
Stricken to represent him in the case.

.LUNACY CASES
TO COST MORE
Owing to Recent Decision of
Judge BOOraem Local Doctors
Meet TO Fix the Prices.
WILL DEMAND S25 HEREAFTER.

Several leading doctors of this city
held a private meeting, yesterday, TO
take action in regard to the an
nouncement made by Jurge Booraem
Friday in court at New Brunswick.
Judge Booraem declared that a man s
liberty was too sacred a thing to be
disposed of upon an exporte affidavit,
and further said that hereafter tNe
court will require further proof than
the affidavit of physician in all
lunacy cases. The physician must
hereafter present himself, together
with a keeper of the asylum or one of
it's physicians, at the court and swear
to the truthfulness of the case. The
regular affidavit as heretofore has
been made by physicians, must still
be made under the new rule, and an
other affidavit must be sworn to at
New Brunswick upon the correctness
and truthfulness of the former affida-
Wit. This the local doctors claim,
means a day lost to them, as they
will have to go to New Brunswick.
The present charge of So would only
cover expenses. At yesterdays meet
ing it was decided to charge $25 for
an examination of lunaey case, the
price off which formerly was 50,
making the total charge of COM
mitment $50 instead of $40.

scrubbed up as is the custom every
Saturday, but this time they used
sapolio with the soap and got some of
the rusty hooks frightened up. The
jail locks were polished with silver
tint and two or three brooms were
worn out getting down the cobwe1s
and the floors so clean that one could
not find a creeper with a microscope.
The prisoners were all brushed up as
clean as wax and the jailer had on a

DIR. +. w. Kitchel, of the S. p. c. A,
Instructed Police to Have Horse
Removed After 1t Had Laid on the
Street from Saturday Night Until
Noon Yesterday-Think the Ami
mai Was Tired and Wanted Rest.

A horse owned by Polkowitz Broth
ers was left lying on the pavement in
New Brunswick near Oak street from
9 o'clock Saturday night. until noon
yesterday. The horse was being
driven on New Brunswick avenue
Saturday night when it became sup
posedly sick and fell to the ground.
In spite of all efforts the horse could
not be moved, and it was decided
to leave the horse there. The matter
was reported to the police, who at
once notified DR.. F. w. Kitchel, pres
ident of the S. P. c. A. DR.. Kitchel
told the police to order Polkowitz
Brothers to remove the animal ar
once.
A truck was secured, and after
the horse had been placed on it, was
driven to Pol,:owitzs Brothers sta
Bile. The truck had no sooner been
driven into the yard, when the horse
of his own accord jumped from the
wagon and ran around the premises.
The only plausible solution of the
problem is that the horse was tired
and lay down to rest.
