TRIAL BY COMBAT
 SHOWS WHO'S WHO

Michael Burns, a native of Ireland, and Frank Moore, an English born American citizen, became involved in a controversy as to the respective merits of Irishmen and Englishmen in the manly art of self defence, as the two wended their way homewards through Crescent avenue early Sum- day morning.
 It became necessary for the two to resort to violence to settle the dis pute. When Patrolman Simons came running up to the pair in response to Moore's cries, he found Burns as- tride the Englishman's chest, and in the dim glare of distant electric light, Simons saw a grim smile of tri- umph playing upon Burns features.
 Burns weighs in at 16O, while Moore weighs 180. Burns is feet 10 and Moore feet '. Burns says he could whip Moore if he were twice as heavy.
 In the city court today the pair were fined $20 and costs apiece. Burns pleaded with Jailer Scofield to lock him and Moore in the same cell, when the two were delivered to the North avenue establishment in default of payment of their fines. When Scofield heard the events leading to their ar rests, however, he placed them in cells widely separated.

 IN FOUL PLAY

Satisfied from their own investiga- tions and the report of the acting medical examiner, the police now con- sider the cases of Frederick Chambers and Joseph McMahon as closed. Dr. c. c. Godfrey found their lungs filled with water, proof conclusive that they came to their deaths from drowning, and the police are satisfied that the children may their way into the water accidentally.
 Yesterday Harbormaster Morris and several others sought for long time in the vicinity of the discovery of the bodies. for the cap worn by Joseph McMahon, and for the straw hat with the red ribbon which little Fred Chambers wore when he was last seen.
 Their inability to find the two pieces of headgear gave new life to the the- ories that the lads were violently handled before they reached the wa ter front. However, the police and Coroner Wilson will take no further steps in the matter unless some devel- opment thus far entirely unexpected, comes to light.

In the whole assembly, there's not one but deserves attention. They are dainty. They are styleful. They are carefully made. They are to be bought at less, much less, than real value.
 Four days have impressed the bigness and goodness of this sale upon hundreds of folks. It is the most-success- ful that ever the store has had. Not alone successful from the standpoint of bus mess: Far more important: folks have learned that value are greatest. And that was the one thing we most-want- ed to make plain.
