Large Store to
Quit Business
THE HUB CLOTHING CO. TO
WIND UP ITS AFFAIRS.

WIND UP ITS AFFAIRS.
The unexpected news of the tenn
porary closing of 1.-THE Hub" pre-
paratory to selling out the stock
has created quite stir In COM
mercial circles and among River
side avenue merchants regret is
universal that Mr.. Kornfeld, the
owner of the store, has found such
a decision necessary.
1t is but eight months since "The
Hub" first opened its doors, plan
ming to be the leading popular
priced store in the city. Competi
ton, however, proved very keen
and with the unusual financial CON
ditions prevailing the country over
in connection with dull business
that is universal. Mr.. Kornfeld
deems 1t advisable to wind up his
affairs at the quickest possible mo-
ment. The store will remain
closed until Thursday.
Meanwhile the stock will be pre-
pared and arranged for the sale
as it will be disposed Of at retail
instead of selling it to some one
merchant in bulk, as in that way
the stores customers will be able
to participate In the sale.
Mr.. Kornfeld plans a long rest
Immediately after it's conclusion. %"'

VERDICT l|ll
TAKES CIGAR

After little over two hours de.
liberation, the jury in the TG1ein
case agreed on a verdict OF first
degree murder at 12:45 a. IN. Sun.
day morning. Court was recon.
Ivened and at LAO, the Jury IRE.
turned Its verdict. Judge Webster
asked ifs the verdict represented
/ the unanimous agreement Of the
jury, and being informed that it
did, had the jury polled at the re-
quest of Attorney Alex Winston, on
behalf of Clein. The jury agreed
on Clein's guilt on the first ballot,
IL of the jurors being for first de-
gree and one for second degree.
Clein received the verdict with
out any comment or visible emo
ton. Prior to the jury's return he
had expressed the belief that the
verdict was against him, as he said
he had heard the jurors talking of
the case through his cell window.
The jury got the case at 1925,
after a fair and clean cut charge
by Judge Webster, lasting 20 min
utes.
Deputy Prosecutor w. c. Dono-
van, who has had charge of the
Clein case, was present when the
jury's verdict was read, as Prose-
cutor Pugh, worn after the strain
of the two weeks trial and an ar
gument lasting four hours and q
half, had gone to seek some much
needed rest. During the interim
between the agreemnt on verdict
by the jury and the reassembling
of court Clein chatted with the
crowd of attorneys and court Off
Gals and seemed as much at ease
as any one present. He said he
had no hard feeling for Deputy
Prosecutor Donovan, but lived in
hope that he would yet regain, his
liberty. Police Court Bailiff Ches-
ter Edwards gave Clein cigar,
which he accepted with thanks.
The closing argument by Prose
cutting Attorney Fred C. Pugh be-
gan at 2:30 in the afternoon and
was finished at $3.50 at night.
Pugh's, plea for the conviction of
Clein is said to be the strongest Ar-
gument he ever made to a jury in
a murder trial. Toward its close
his voice began to show the effect
of the strain, but the determination
of the speaker never Jagged, and
the final half hour of his plea was
the most effective of his whole
argument. -
Pugh made it plain that he was
a foe to murderers and announced
that none of them would escape
through shameful acquittals, as
had been seen in the past, while
he was prosecuting attorney. He
alluded to the three men under
sentence of death in the county
Jail, convicted through his efforts,
! and said this summary punishment
of murderers would have a ten
dency to make human life more
precious in Spokane county.

against other things, too.

MAYOR AFTER SALOONS,
Superior Executive Advocates Increased
License and Elimination of Brew
cries from Retail Business.

SUPERIOR, Wis, April "a Spe-
cial. Although the voters of Superior
went on record Overwhelmingly in favor
of continuing the saloon, theirs is not to
be bed Of roses during the coming
year, Mayor Crumpton and the council
have started something that bids fair
to stir up the liquor interests. 1t is a
proposition to raise the license from 5000
year to $500 on one hand, and on the
other TO compel every applicant for 4
license to file with his application a copy
Of the lease which shows that be himself
has control of the place where the bust
ness is to be conducted.
This move IS directed against the
brewery saloons. The claim is being
made here that Of the lGO saloons in the
city less than half Il dozen are actually
owned by the parties in whose names
the licenses stand. For several years
past the individual Keepers have been
complaining against the encroachmentS
of the brewers and in spite of talk in
the council looking toward heading Off
the move it has been steadily increasing
and not only leases but titles to the
property in question have been absorbed
10y the brewers who were able t. outhid
individual saloon keepers aud merchants
in other lines Of business, who occupied
property that looked good to the liquor
men.
Mayor Crumpton in his message 10 the
new council this week has started the
ball rolling and it is considered probable
that some Of the proposed reforms Will
be written into law before the licenses
are renewed July |.
