Necessary to Ignore "Kicks" Re-
suItins from Effects of
His Weekend gags"

The claim department of a big New
York hardware concern had long been
troubled with kicks and demands fol
refunds from an otherwise good Gus
toner out OF town. The customer
had been buying from them right
along, but about once a week he com.
planned bitterly by mail about some.
thing; one shipment did not tally out
as billed another was received with
broken parts, and so on
The hardware concern looked into
his claims and settled them promptly.
They always gave him the benefit OF
the doubt. for it is part of their pol.
icy to keep their customers happy.
But they got more claims. proportions
ately, from this man than from any
of their other customers. One of the
vice-presidents of the concern--a sort
of general utility man, who concerned
himself with no particular depart
ment, but whose activities touched
all of them-heard about this chronic
kicker and claimer of refunds. So
he wrote contidentially to a friend in
the city where their complaining Gus
toner lived to send him detailed re-
port on this merchant, both as to his
business standing and as to his per.
sonal characteristics In due time the
report came back The merchant was
man OF honor, probity and wealth.
He had fat bank account and a nice
family, He was respected and liked
by everybody. But he had one weak
ness-which was hardly considered
weakness in the community where he
lived Every Saturday night after the
weeks work was done, he was accus.
toned to get quite thoroughly drunk
in gentlemauly way
The vice-president read the report
carefully Then he sent for the file
OF letters of complaint that had been
received from the out-of-town mer,
chant He did not read them, but
looked at their dates and compared
them with the calendar. Every one
was dated Monday morning, and the
dating stamp which marked the hour
that they We're received showed that
each must have been mailed by an
early train on that day.
The vice-president thereupon smiled
and dictated a letter to this mer
chant. He told him that it was the /
practice of the house to treat their
customers with every consideration, |
and that they particularly desired to |
show their most distinguished es. |

and valued client" but that they were
going to do one thing in his case I
which was unique From that day /
forth they would pay no attention to
any claim received from him if that
claim was made on Monday. Any
claim, however that he might send in
On Friday would be paid Immediately
and without question The big hard
ware merchant never had another
from that merchant from
hat day to this, and he is a bigger
customer than ever

CHARGES ATTEMPT IS
MADE TO DRUG HIM
Police Claim Plot Laid by Supposed
Friend to Rob Canadian Tailor
Resulted in Desperate Fight
in Main Street Resort

Drugs are said by the police to have
been given to H. A. Freeman in an
attempt to rob him in the rear of the
Mineral saloon, First and Main streets,
last night. A fight ensued, in which
two men are alleged to have attacked
Freeman, and before the police ar
rived the latter was badly injured,
sustaining a deep cut on the top Of the
head, the result of a knife slash, in
addition to q battered and bruised
face
The stories of the three men in
volved are conflicting, but according
to detectives Freeman was the victim
OF a plot, Matched up by a supposed
friend, w. H. Garland, and a con-
federate who gave the name of L.
Crossman.
Freeman, who is a tailor, arrived
in Los Angeles recently from Leth-
bridge, Canada, and secured a room
in an apartment house at Fifth and
Wall streets. Crossman is said to
have a room in the same place, and
the two formed an acquaintance with
Garland, and for several nights have
been enjoying life in Los Angeles,
visiting various "thirst-quenching en-
poriums."
1t is believed by the police that
Crossman told Garland Freeman had
considerable money, and a plot to rob
him was formed. Last night while
the men were drinking in the Mineral
saloon it is said Crossman, urged on
by Garland, started an argument with
Freeman. The trio adjourned to a
rear room to settle the dispute.
The sound of fight attracted atten-
ton, and when Patrolmen Storey and
Turner entered the place the trio were
blood-stained and fighting desperately.
Freeman fled from the room, but was
captured at Second and Los Angeles
streets by Patrolman Storey, while
PatroIman Turner held the other two.
At police headquarters Freeman ap-
peared dazed and was unable to give
an accurate account of what happened.
In the receiving hospital, in addition to
his numerous cuts, he was found to be
suffering from the effects of chloral.
The three men were locked up, charged
with drunkenness, and held without
bail. When searched Garland had but
40 cents in his pockets, but in his socks
two valuable gold watches and a S5
gold piece were found. Freeman had
SIS in bills and Crossman $35.15 in gold
and silver.

CANNERS GUARANTEE PURITY OF
PR0DUCTS

ATLANTIC CITY, N. 1.-THE Ma
tional Gamers association at their
convention today decided to issue a
trademark and guarantee of purity TO
go on every can of the products
packed by members of the associa-
ton. This trademark is suggested to
assure the consumer that the con-
tents of tie can on which it appears
is absolutely pure and to be sterilized
and preserved solely by heat.
The subject of guaranteeing the
purity and wholesomeness of canned
fruits and vegetables has been the
principal topic of the convention, ana
al every mention of the plan to put
a guarantee on each can has met with
cheering enthusiasm.
It is planned that members OF the
association using the trademark are
to pay approximately one cent a case
on the goods they pack and sign a
bond by which they agree to FORFEIT
$1,000 in case of violation of the assur-
ance made. The money realized IN
this manner, estimated at approxi-
mately a quarter of a million dollars,
is to be used in advertising in the
newspapers and magazines to assure
the consumer that canned fruits ana
vegetables are absolutely pure.

Y. {. A. AVIATION
MEET PROGRESSING
MEMBERSHIP EFFORT HAS
GOOD RESULTS
Various Crews Busy in Flights for
Members, but Results Are
Being Carefully
Guarded

Unexpected results characterized the
work of the first day of the second
aviation meet now being conducted
by the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation. 1t was really the second day
of the campaign, but is designated as
the first for the reason that the various
aviators qualified as entrants. The
various crews were all picked and only
a few more men are needed to carry
the different aeronautical crafts on
their flights after members in the con-
test. No results were made public, it
being the intention of the teams to
withhold a general knowledge of their
work until Saturday. Visitors to the
big building on Hope street were nu-
merous throughout the day while the
workings of the institution were eX-
planned.
The Gibbon-Dyas dirigible balloon
was one of the leaders in the contest.
Frank Cole, the pilot, reported a large
number of members taken in from the
few hours passed in the work of the
crew and as each day goes along, is
looking for still better results.
This is located in the lobby and pre-
sents a gay appearance.
The multiplane of w. H. Harrison
was also one of the very successful
flyers of the day. Several musical Sc
Iections and two very excellent talks
comprised the program over which D.
e, Luther presided. Mr.. Harrison, the
first speaker, showed the progress of the
association in this country in the TWEEN
ty-fiye years he has known of 1t. He
declared that it had made many OF
the best men in the country.
c. S. Anderson, superintendent of
the money order department in the
postoffice, was on hand with number
of anecdotes and some excellent advice
A feature of the day was the sending
up of a dirigible balloon and an aero
plane. They were set off as daylight
fireworks, and with a favorable breeze
were carried right over the center of
the business district and on out into
the residence section of the northwest.
At 4 o'clock a toy balloon carrying
general membership ticket was re-
leased. The finder Of this has not as
vet reported, but is expected in today
This afternoon a special feature has
been arranged and will be continued
each day of the meet. An additional
balloon will be sent up and will carry
a. ticket with thirty-day privileges in
the triangle department of the asso-
citation
