and that they went in and out without carrying packages of laundry.
 Gorgas testified to buying the opium from helper in the laundry, who sold it to him without question. Cor gas did not appear in the court room as witness. As he walked in, there was a great craning of necks and Wagging of tongues among the 20 Chinese lined up along the benches in the court room. Then they realized for the first time that Gorgas was gathering evidence, and was not the supposed hopper" whom they had been patronizing during the week.
 In his cross examination Detective Sergeant Cronan told of the feuds existing between the rival Chinese cliques, and said they were bitterly antagonistic to one another. He said the two establishments were allied with tke opposing factions. The Chin ese themselves testified they had nev- CT seen Gorgas. This made no sort of hit with the court, but it was in line with the previous observations of counsel and the police as to the gen. eral disregard of the average China man for the truth.

But they were labelled, in English. with the name of the con- tents. They cost $6 each. Several of the cans were brought to court, along with half a dozen complete layouts for the smoking of opium.
 Judge Wilder found that the maxi mum fine provided by the statute under which the prosecution was brought, was for the first offence, a fine of not more than $20. So he i'm posed that on the keeper and two frequenters. The evidence showing that the other frequenters were regu- larly connected with the laundry, they were discharged. Judge Wilder ex- pressed regret that he was unable to impose a heavier penalty, for he said he believed that provided by the statute was not ample for the offence.

 The ashes of the stuff are preserv- ed, mixed with water and used as a beverage with which effects akin to those of smoking the fumes of the opium are attained.

MERCURY TAKES A DROP; so DO
 SOME PEOPLE

Bridgeport thermometers pointed with pride this morning to the lowest mark they have touched this year.
 The seif-registering thermometer in front of F. Lyman's optical store on Main street touched the 10 degrees above at a. m. and 2 degrees at the noon hour.
 In the Bronx of Bridgeport, as the northern section has justly come to be called, the temperature was several degrees lower and accompanied by a wfistling wind as freezing as the Eales that fan the pines of old Nor way
 Ice formed on all the ponds, but ow- ing to the fact that the drop in tenn perature came very suddenly last night-catching most of Bridgeport with its windows open-the frost has not had a chance to penetrate very deeply as yet
 As usual, the thermometer proved to be the arbiter of Bridgeport's mor- als. When 1t took a drop this morn ing SO did a large number of Bridge ports citizens. The glow within, com bined with the cold without, provid- cd a cheerful vista of red noses along the main thoroughfareS.

BIG JOB FOR
 H. \. PINNEY
U. M. c. Manager of Works to be Factory Head of Chalmers Motor Gar Company of De- troit, Michigan Crack Shots and Salesmen to Give Testimonials to Him For His Services in Arranging Convention

It became known today for the first time that Harry H. Pinney, manager of works. and superintendent at the
 plant of the Union Metallic Cart ridge Co.,, will go to the big plant of the Chalmers Motor Car Go. at De- troit, Mich., within few months to become manager of works. A few weeks ago, when it became known that MT. Pinney had resigned from the headship of the local plant, and that he was to be succeeded by c. c. Tyler, manager of works at the plant of the Remington Arms Co.,, Ilion, N. r., it was not stated where MT. Pin ney was going.
 That the Chalmers Motor Car Co. is some pumpkins in the automobile world is attested by the fact that it turns out 1000 cars a month. 1t is understood that the new position came to MT. Pinney without any effort on his part to secure it.
 The president of the motor car com- pany is MT. Hugh Chalmers, former president of the National Cash Reg ister Co.,, at Dayton, Ohio. where both MT. Pinney and MT. Tyler got much of their experience in factory man. agement. Before going to Ohio Mir. Pinney got much training in Pratt & Whitney's factory at Hartford. He is one of the much talked of Pratt good in the manufacturing business in every part of the world.
 But even before this MT. Pinney got some training aboard ship that prob ably helped him more than his tech- nical training in a factory. He ship ped when a mere youngster in several sailing craft running between North nV,1 !, nrfG he any weak spots before he became a sailor they had disappeared when he gave up the sea and his ability to take orders given by hard listed Scotch-Irish mates counted when he entered the industrial world. The sea life built up his constitution and made him as hard as nails. MT. Pinney is continue to look for men of his cali bre there is no telling where he will land by the time that he Is 50 years of age.
 That MT. Pinney's worth is appre- ciated by the U. M. c. organization is attested by the fact that the sales men, special representatives, shooters, missionaries, and heads of factory de- partments assembled at Lehmann's shcre house. Saturday night. made up a substantial purse which will be us- ed in purchasing a testimonial token tu appreciation of MT. Pinney's ser vices in arranging the convention that was held last week in this city. It was MT. Pinney's generalship and master mind that arranged the ma jority of the details, so that every man present felt at ease every minute he was in this city. The program and the time for everything was arrang- ed weeks in advance and every de- tail was carried out on schedule time.
 Hugh Chalmers. president of the Motor Car Co. which bears his name, delivered here an address on Sales manship''. before the convention. C.. C. Tyler, who succeeds MT. Pinney, will divide his time between the plant in this city and the factory at Ilion.
