CHINESE GRASS
To Be Manufactured Into Linen at New
Hartford Plant.


Worlanen are engaged in setting UP
machinery in the old Greenwoods Co. s
factory, in New Hartford, for the new
plant which is shortly to commence in
the manufacture of linen from Chinese
grass. Samuel Diggle, who came to
this country from England some
months ago and who is an expert in
his line, has been getting things in
readiness for the opening of the plant,
and has been Joined in New Hartford
by Arthur Thomas, who came from
New Hampshire, and who will act as

New York Police Magistrate Disposed

ed. The other day Policeman Kier-
nan appeared before Magistrate
Freschi in the Harlem police court,
New York city, with David Mac
Lean. MacLean desired to COM
plain against Bernard Levy for
keeping a goose in his apartment.
'Why do you keep the goose?" in
quired Magistrate Freschi. "Tt is
to fatten, your honor" explained
Levy, "to fatten for the great feast
next Tuesday" "Ahem," said Mag
istrate Freschi, 'it seems to me this
is very complicated case. Here is
an Irish policeman, with a Scotch
complainant who wants to make in
formation against a Jew before an
Italian magistrate. The only thing
l can see to do in this case is to
postpone it for one week, and in the
meantime we will allow the de-
fendant to eat the evidence"
