POWER OF NEW LAMPS
QUESTIONED BY PATRONS

The work of installing the new gas

the Omaha Gas company is progressing
fairly WELL but it is far from being fin
ished. A good many Of the new lamps
have been placed in the north part Of the
city. but the residents up to this time are
not prepared to pass judgment upon
them. They are more ornamental than
the old ones, but there is some question
as to whether or not they send more light

SEALER ADVISES
HOUSEWIVES To
LEARN WEIGHTS
Issues Pamphlet Telling How to
Purchase Their House,
hold Supplies.

The first issue OF a booklet On Gen
eral Information for the Purchasing
Public" compiled by City Sealer John
H. Sullivan and his assistant, Patrick
j. Caufield, was received today and
will be distributed to all those interest
ed in home economy and the manner
In which INSCRIPTIONS dealers cheat
the public. The booklet contains "a
pages of interesting reading matter ano
Is illustrated. There will be 10000 copies
In this first issue.
The illustrations show various types
of scales, and among them are photo
graphs of the "rogues' GALAXY" In the
sealer's office. Information is given
concerning the workings of he sealer's
office and calls attention to the fact
that any of the employees in this de-
partment are always at the service OF
the public. Housewives are urged to
learn to read scales n to own them
mo kitchen is complete without q
good scale and a set of accurate dry
and liquid measures Is one OF the
salient points In the book. The inac-
curacy of the tape measure is touched
ON and yardsticks are suggested to re-
place them.
One of the most useful pieces of ID
vice in the book Is this: when you
make purchases, whether it be in tho
butcher shop, the grocery store or the
dry goods store, insist upon the bill
which you get having plainly marked
thereon the weight or the quantity OF
the article purchased. For example:
If you buy q chicken do not be con
tent with the butcher marking on the
bill or ticket you get One chicken (56j
cents;' insist upon his making the bill
read, so many pounds OF chicken
(whatever the weight of the chicken
may be- and then the price paid
for it."
Insist on knowing Weight.
1t is then explained that the import
ance of this lies in the fact that If on
arriving home II is discovered hat the
dealer practised short weighing il
will be difficult to prove 1t unless il
| can be shown hat a certain weigh;
was asked for.
All sorts Of measures are described.
The book treats on all subjects of i'm
| port to the housewife with regard to
her purchase of supplies. The books
can be had for the asking, either by
calling at the City Hall or by writing
| for them.
City Sealer Sullivan said today: ut
Is our intention to stop the operation
Of fraudulent dealers and protect the
interests of the citizens at all times.
We can be aided IN our work IL the
purchaser reports all dishonest trans,
actions at this office. We believe that
the booklets will help towards bring
ing about the desired results, and ]
am very anxious to have one in every
house. The best way to stop cheating
is to know how cheating is DONE. The
book tells. I would also urge upon al
the need of scales and measures in the
Kitchen"

DURESS PLEA FAILS
in SUIT UPON NOTE.
William F. Mullin Wins From
Catherine Leamy.
Especial to the Newark star.l

0k@(ea AttAs
STATE HOUSE, TRENTON, March
31.-In an opinion filed in the Supreme
Court today by Chief Justice Gummere
the verdict received in the Essex Coun-
ty Circuit Court by William F. Mullin
against Catherine Leamy is affirmed.
Mullin sued to 0 on a note for
81, 200 given by Edward F. Duffy and
Endorsed by Catherine Leamy. The
suit was contested on the ground that
the note was given under duress, Duffy
claiming that Mullin threatened him
with Indictment. The syllabus Of the
opinion follows:
l.. A promissory note given to secure
the payment of a debt contracted by
the debtor under circumstances which
subjected him to a criminal prosecution
Is not rendered invalid by reason of the
fact that 1t was made under pressure
of a threat by the creditor that he
would procure the indictment of the
debtor unless the debt was paid.
2. Duress, to be available as a defense
in an action upon contract, must have
been exercised upon him who sets 1t up
as . defense by him who claims the
benefit of the contract, or by some one
acting in his behalf or with his knowl-
! edge"
