JAM AND A PIECE
Of ICE BRING TWO
WOMEN To COURT
LandIady Stars in Marathon
Talkfest, But Bows to
the Inevitable.

If the scene enacted before Acting
Judge YUM in the Fifth Precinct Court
today could be reproduced or a Yau-
deNille stage it would score a hit, anu
it is a safe bet that the participants
would be headliners for a long run. II
was a comedy of a landlady, a tenant,
the latter being a bride of six weeks,
a ten-cent piece of ice. a quantity or
jam, charges for cleaning the house
before the tenant moved in, and a
woman who talked too much.
Mrs. Munohan owns a house at 81
South Fourteenth street. into which
Mrs. Hitchcock moved shortly after her
marriage. Mrs. Monohan cleaned the
rooms for her new tenant
There is no key to my cellar safi
the bride, land | fear someone will
steal my JAM"
She was told by the landlady that
the jam could be stored in her part OF
the cellar This was done. .drs. Hitch
cock was out one day and Mrs. Mono
han bought ice for her. Shortly after,
according to the bride, she went to the
cellar and the landlady barred her path.
Then she decided to move.
Mrs. Monohan refused to let her take
the jam. 1t was then that the bride
appealed to the Fifth Precinct Police
Court.
will you give this woman her jam?'
asked Acting Judge Yuill.
II will not replied Mrs. Monol1an.
She owes me ten cents for ice and IS
for cleaning rooms"
The question was repeated several
times and each time Mrs. Monohan
answered that she would keep the jam
in her possession. Finally she was told
that If she did not deliver the sweets
a civil action would be brought. Mrs.
Monohan made a speech that lasted
several minutes. Acting Judge Yuill
pounded his gaveL but she talked on.
He ordered her from the courtroom.
Ten minutes later she returned and
again launched off intoJa talking mara
thon.
IF you don't give up that jam l will
see that this woman sues you and that
she wins" said the court.
Mrs. Monohan then decided to give
up the sweets.

CENTRE MARKET LIGHTING
QUESTION IS TAKEN UP.
Council Committee to Confer
With p. S. Representatives.

a meeting of the municipal lighting
committee of the City Council will be
held at 7 o'clock tonight, preceding the
monthly meeting of the Council. At a
meeting held this week with represent
tatives of the Public Service Lighting
Company the, question of lighting the
public market on a five-cent kilowat
rate was taken up. but no definite re-
suit was reached.
1t is understood that the company is
willing to allow the city the benefit Of
the sliding scale for market lighting
and allow all the electric current used
by both the city and the merchants in
the market to be measured in one
meter. but are unwilling to commit
themselves on the five-cent rate prop
osition.
The latter matter will be threshed
out by the committee with representa-
tives of the Public Service Company to-
night and a report made to the Council
by the committee.
