Then Herman himself, attempted to refute the testimony of the young girl, by stating that his place was not as she represented it. petrated there they were without his knowledge and consent. Herman did not know that the women who fre- Quented his place were women of the streets. It was quite Imaginable, even the jurymen had to suppress smiles, when Herman with considerable em- phasiS avered that in all his life in Bridgeport he had never seen a wo- man solicit man on Bank street. Even though it is 8 fact that the police have succeeded in confininS such traffic to the neighborhood of this thOroughfare.
 The local police have long been trying to fasten the drag net around Herman. Some time ago he, his brother and uncle came to this city from Hartford, each opening up houses here. The uncle went to cated in State street, and Frank dropped off at Bank street. Time and time again the police have at tempted to get some evidence which would convict these men, but have been unsuccessful until the present The opportunity presented itself against Frank, when Miss Dressel, and her consort, Carroll, were arrest ed at the instigation of Mrs. Dressel, who followed the two here from Brooklyn. Miss Dressel is now To- cated at the House of the Good Shepherd in Hartford, while Carroll is lodged in the North avenue jail awaiting trial before the Superior Court for bringing a woman here for immoral purposes.

RESPONDING HOTEL CLERK WHO ELOPED WITH WIDOW
 WAS RECENT BRIDEGROOM
Police Learn More of Astonishing Career of
 Sherman K. Hill
Recently Married to Philadelphia Girl He and His Companion Mrs. Cora Dayton Local "Grass" Widow, Brought Back This Afternoon Most of the S1,OOO Cash Taken
 From Hotel Safe is Recovered by Police

That Sherman K. Hill, the giant hotel clerk captured in Washington D. C., late yesterday with Mrs. Cora Dayton as they were passing through the city, was married only a few months ago and that he comes of a prominent Portsmouth, ". H., family became known today in connection with the preparations for his arraign- ment in the city court here tomor- row morning.
 Hill and Mrs. Dayton are expect ed to arrive in Bridgeport before mid- night in custody of Detective Sergeant CrOnan. Hill makes no attempt to deny his guilt while the Dayton wom- an who gave up $50 which she said Hill had given her, professed to know nothing of his footing the safe in the Atlantic hotel before his hurried flight yesterday morning. There will be no attempt to prosecute the Dayton woman, but she may be called upon to testify.
 Hilps giant stature proved his un- doing, while Mrs. Dayton's devotion to her music also helped in their cap- ture. The police were able to furnish the authorities of all cities they de- sired to warn, with very complete description of the two, but the most striking feature of the description were the facts that Hill was six foot six inches tall and that Mrs. Day ton carried a violin.
 The Washington police in common with the police of many other cities, were notified by wire of the flight of the couple and given their descrip- tions Shortly after o'clock detec- tives walking through a train in the capitol City discovered the pair, and addressed Hill by name. He admit ted his identity without any effort at dissembling, while Mrs. Dayton would not answer to. her name and refused for a time t8 talk. -eatse -c..e con- fessed that she was Mrs. Dayton.
 Detective Cronan set out for Wash ington from New York late yesterday afternoon and this morning he claim ed the pair for the Bridgeport author ities. They entered no objection to re- turning at once, and it is expected they will be here before night.
 Hill is 26 years of age, and accord ing to information coming into the hands of the police today he was mar ried only last April. An announce ment was given to the police of his wedding on Thursday April 7, to Miss

BEEF BAR0NS MAKING GOAT
 OF RETAILER
Big Packers, Alarmed by Im- pending Federal Prosecutions, Trying to Curry Favor
EXPLANATION GIVEN TODAY
Statement Comes From United Master Butchers of Chicago Who Are Hot Under Collar
Especial from United Press.)


 Chicago, Nov. 17-"An this talk of reduced prices of meats has no foun- dation in fact. The big packers, alarmed by impending Federal prose cutions. are trying to curry favor with the public. and to make the retailer the goat in the whole affair."
 This is the explanation here, today, of the United Master Butchers of Chi cago. on the interviews recently given out by J. Ogden Armour and other beef barons'. in which the assertion t1nue to tobOggan downward.
 There is TO doubt the retail butch CTS of Chicago are angry. At the meeting tales of alleged impositiOnS by the packers were frequent and the charge was freely made that the state ments of reductions already put through were not borne out by the facts.
 'We are helpless" said Vice Presi- dent Edward Levy of the butchers. When we don't make big profits, they say. why, you pay 12 1-2 cents for lamb and charge 25 cents. But what do we charge 25 cents for? For six pounds of chops that come out of 40 pound lamb. All the other cuts ioWoi anu II we iIidhe OV CeItS oiI lamb that costs $5 we are lucky. You must remember that the packers make their own terms when they sell to us. We pay F 1-2 cents a pound, not only for the almost unstable Hanks and the breasts, but also for big wooden sticks that they put in them and for the worthless plucks, the liver, lungs and heart. And lots of times we get stuck worse than that
 The butchers are unanimous in say ing that meat prices are appreciably lower than at this time last year. but object to the packers giving out the idea that heavy price cuts are to be expected, either at once or in the near future
