Indignation Meeting.

1t was a goodly number of demo-
Gratis that gathered in Assembly hall
last night to elect delegates to the
on Wednesday.
All the old time party leaders, the
rivals of the local democracy who
fought for the democratic rooster last
fall. were present with Mayor T. E.
Knots and William c. Crolius. The
meeting was short and spicy and there
were no signs of warfare, which is an
unmistakable sign that the trouble will
come later.
In fact the meeting was so short that
the Crolius democrats hardly knew
when it was over and when the smoke
found that not single Crolius demo-
crat delegate had been selected.
And while the committee repaired to
the ante room to prepare the list of
delegates Mayor Knots extolled the
virtues of the democratic principles
and told that this was a democratic
year and if they ever had chance in
their life it was at the present time.
What we need this year is harmony
in the local ranks, and we will be sure
to win. Let us put aside our petty
fights and all get out and work for the
good of the democratic party" said
Mayor Knots. And everybody though
there would be harmony until tn,

WOOES WIDOW
AND BREAKS HER DISHES
Former Cook Arrested for DiSor-
derry Conduct After Atten-
tionS to Woman Fail

Mrs. K. Arika, a young japanese
widow who owns a restaurant at ol4
East First street, laughed at the at
tempted attentions of her former COOK,
NJ Murakami and the latter showed
his resentment by smashing all the
dishes in the establishment. Murakami
appeared in Police Judge Chambers
court yesterday morning, charged with
disorderly conduct. Pleading guilty, ne
received a sentence of ninety days in
the city jail.
Mrs. Arika, whose husband died sew
eral months ago, leaving to her the
management of his restaurant. testified
that she had been "pestered'' by Mur-
akami. Since her husbands death, the
widow said her cook made every effort
to make love to her, even intimating
that he might prove good second hus-
band.
"In spite of everything did to show
this man that 1 didn't want him to
bother me-" testified the widow, 'he
persisted in making life miserable for
me-"
WOMAN CAUSES ARREST TWICE
Finally affairs reached such a point
that the widow discharged the cook,
she said. Undaunted, the man re-
turned frequently to the restaurant and
vainly impiored the woman to give
him some encouragement.
During the last few weeks" Mrs
Arika told the court, 81 have had
this man arrested twice for bothering
me. Last night about 10 o'clock he en-
tered my restaurant and walked into
the kitchen. Without word, he swept
every dish from the Shelves smashing
them on the floor in a thousand pieces.
He was going to tear UP everything
else in the kitchen when 1 had him
arrested"
The plaintiff testified that fully $50
worth of dishes were broken. On ac-
count of her loss, she said she will
have to close her place of business
until she can replace the dishes.
The prisoner explained that he was
under the influence of liquor when he
entered the restaurant Wednesday
night. He denied forcing his attentions

FRACTURES CLAV|CLE IN
BUTTONING HIS COLLAR
BoiIermaker Reopens Break by
Losing His Temper Over
Refractory Button

Exerting himself too violently in an
effort to put on refractory collar yes
terda morning, Thomas Cawley, "a, a
boilermaker living at 7S7 Ceres avenue,
broke his left collar bone and reached
the receiving hospital feeling decidedly
uncomfortable.
While the bone was being set, Cav
ley told about his strange misfortune.
"This is the second time the bone
has been broken" said Cawley. "Sev-
eral months ago I was lifting heavy
weight in the shops. The strain was
too great and my collar bone snapped.
But the bone grew together nicely and
in a few days I was able to be about
my work again.
"This morning I picked out a collar
from my bureau drawer. 1 reached
back of my neck to slip the collar on
the rear button but the loop was too
small. I worked with the bothersome
collar several minutes without success.
Suddenly 1 lost my temper, and, deter
mined to button the collar at any
odds, I reached back for the button
with jerk of my arm. The next
thing knew my collar bone snapped
and I was making a bee line for the
hospital
Physicians at the receiving hospital
say the bone had been weakened by
the first break.

ASKS SURGICAL TREATMENT

Overwhelmed by fear that the dog
may have been mad, John Myers, 10
years old, a schoolboy living at 163
Kern street, was taken to the receiv-

with a slight wound in the calf of
his left leg inflicted by the teeth of a
playful puppy.
Though assured that the dog was
not mad, young Myers almost col
lapsed as a result of his fear that the
animal had poisonous tooth" In
his terror he insisted that all biting
dogs must be mad, and it was some
time before he could get over the idea
that he would go mad sooner or later
The wound on the leg was scarcely
more than a scratch.
