TILTED LOVER SUES GIRL.
Asks Court to Allow Him $4,000
for Time Lost in Courtship.

NETWORK, February 11.-Jacob Gross
|. Of SIS McDonough street. Brooklyn, has
begun suit against Miss Helen Hochstim
a pretty woman of twenty-one years
for breach Of promise. Jacob alleges
that his heart has been damaged to the
extent of $4,000.
The question OF whether a woman has
the right to change her mind after con-
senting to accept a man is raised In this
action. Miss Hochstim, daughter of
Adolph Hochstim of sol West 10th street,
admits she once was engaged to Gross,
but that she decided last November to
change her mind. Her reasons, as filed
by her attorney, show Gross did not
come up to expectations in many ways
and that he twas addicted to falsehood."
Gross is the son of Sol. Gross, manu-
facturer of 4S West 21st street. Hochstim
is in the fur business in the next street.
Miss Hochstim is q relative of Max
Hocllstinl, the East Side politician. She
refused to make any statement last night,
but from her sister 1t was learned she
met Gross two years ago ut Far ROCK
away. year ago she became engaged TO
him. Last summer, when she went to
the Catskills for her vacation. he was a
guest Of her family. In November last
the couples engagement was announced.
Later the breaking OF the engagement
was also published
Gross claims his time was taken up in
this courtship and that he, therefore.
lost chances to marry some other girl.

WANTS WITNESS FEE.
Theodore A. Leckert Complains to
Mai. Sylvester.

Theodore \. Leckert, who resides at
ITO Florida avenue northeast, has writ
ten letter to Maj. Sylvester. superin-
tendent Of police. complaining that he had
been summoned to the Police Court as a
witness and that he has been unable to
collect his fee. The defendant was a
neighbor charged with having violated
the law by not muzzling his dogs. The
neighbor forfeited collateral.
Leckert and friend remained in court
until nearly noon before they learned
they were not wanted. Leckert, who is a
barber, thinks he should receive IS cents
for his attendance in court. insisting upon
Its payment as matter Of principle
Under the law, it is discretionary with
the judges of the Police Court as to
whether a witness shall be paid. The law
does not specify the amount Wi, nesses arc
to receive. but fixes the maximum at Is
cents.
Maj, Sylvester has nothing to do with
the question Of witness fees, and the COM
munication of Mr.. Leckcrt probably will
be referred to the judges or clerk Of
the Police Court.

House Continues Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station on the Island.

An attempt to dispense with the agri-
cultural experiment station on the Island
OF Guam was made by Representative
Rucker of Colorado during consideration
OF the agricultural appropriation bill yes
terday. Mr.. Rucker said the appropria-
ton for this work had not brought sat-
isfactory returns, and that the island was
not in need OF agricultural experiment SO
much as educational facilities.
Chairman Scott of the committee on
agriculture and Representative Cocks of
New York defended the Guam appropr. "a
ton. Mr.. Scott said that a satisfactory
grade of live stock can never be deycl-
oFed in the island until forage plants are
found that will grow there. Friends Of
the appropriation insisted that agricu-
tural development promises great posi-
hilties for the island, but Mr. Ruck +
expressed the opinion that the island can
raise only cocoanuts, and that these are
the inainstay of the people.
The appropriation of $1,000 was agreed
TO by the House with little opposition
The appropriation OF $4,000 for irriea-
ton Investigations was increased to $780,

cold weather has hardened 1t into solid
mass in the hold of the vessel and to
break 1t out picks and shovels are being
