PROSECUTOR PUTS
QUIETUS ON ALL
CLOTHING CLUBS
Warns Merchants That Such In.
stitutions Are in Violation of
the Law

Letter issued from the office OF
Prosecuting Attorney A. l.. Delaney
today have sounded the death knell
of the suit club.
The suit club is a game of chance
employed in numerous clothing stores
to accelerate business. The usual GUS
tom is to control membership of 70
to IS tax the members 81 per- week
each, and hold a drawing every week
for 35 weeks. The member whose
name is drawn is entitled to q suit
without further payment. One man
gets a suit for 81, the second week a
man gets one for 81 and so ON until
30 weeks have passed. Then the en-
tire membership of the club is entitled
to suit. The clubs have proved a
profitable undertaking and the mer-
chants claim that the suits are all
worth $35 and that the reduction they
make in the total selling prices is
made possible because of the large
number they sell.
Prosecutor Delaney warns clothiers
that the suit club system is in viola
tion of the law, and insists that when
the suit iclubs now in progress are
disbanded, no more shall be organized.

AUT0ISTS FINED
FOR VIOLATION
OF MUFFLER LAW
Prosecutor in Quandary Weether
to Hold Operator or Car
Owner

Prosecuting Attorney Delaney wasNln
a quandary this morning when he was
preparing his city court cases for trial
and happened upon the charge against
Sloan. He is one of two automobilists
rounded up yesterday by Special Mo-
torcycle Cop sGorgas. Sloan was
charged with operating motor vehi-
Gle with the muff1er open. The pri-
soner furnished bail of $100 for his
appearance in court today
Sloan has but one leg. His chauf-
feur was driving the car when ne
placed his one foot on the muffler
cut out, as the car neared the railroad
viaduct in Fairfield avenue, West End.
Delaney didn't know whether to
charge Sloan with the offence, OR the
chauffeur. Sloan's part In operating
the car consisted of his lodging his
foot on the muffler cut out. The law
prohibits the operation of motor We
hicle with the muffler open within
the city limits, and also, during GER
tain hours in the country.
Delaney at length concluded that
the chauffeur was the operator of the
car. though Sloan had his foot on the
cut-out and caused the car to become
noiser than the law allows. So the
warrant was drawn in the name of
William Crosdale, who pleaded guilty
and paid a fine of $40. Frederick w.
Booth of Brooklyn arrested for the
same offence paid the same fine.

Ferdinand Rohfg Now Carpenter Tells Story Of stabbng
France and How He Was Left For Dead

Ferdinand Rohlfing, soldier, sailor,
globe trotter and adventurerys laid
aside the prosaic task of fitting a
door to the new apartment house be-
ing erected in Congress street by the
Harris Construction Co. this noon
long enough to tell the story of a
marrow escape from death he expert
enced in the winter of 1903, when a
sailor on the U. S. S. Vermont an
chored in the Mediterranean, at Nice.
Rohlfing has put away all thought
of globe trotting. He is content with
the monotony of life in a furnished
room at 2S0 State street, with plenty
of work at carpentry, but he admits
that a little money in the bank would
be welcome for a rainy day. That is
how the story Of his wild adventure
at Nice became known, for through
attorneys, Shapiro & Shapiro he has
forwarded to the State department a
claim against the French govern
ment for damages sustained in Nice.
After 10 years Of service as SOL
dier and sailor, during which he saw
activity in the Philippines, in Cuba,
and elsewhere, Rohlfing found him
self on the Vermont, millwright,
when the vessel dropped anchor at
Nice. Shortly after the Yankee sail
ors began their visits to town, riot
occurred during the progress of
which one burly bluejacket seized a
townsman, tossed him against curb
stone and dashed his brains out.

height of the wave of anger that
Rohlfing sent ashore with some COM
rades on the night Of Jan. IA, 1909.
Rohlfing was soon in the center of
melee. He received six stab
wounds. Two of them were in the
abdomen, not very serious One was
in the left thigh. A fourth was in
his left shoulder, while the fifth and
sixth were in his back, one of them
driven deep under his ribs Stream
ing with blood he collapsed in the
street. He was rushed to a city hos
pital where for weeks he hovered be-
tween life and DEATH
Ten days later the Vermont left Nice
He was obliged ito follow, two months
later, in a mail steamer. When he
came from the hospital he was placed
in prison for six days
ROhlfing has made an affidavit to
the circumstances Of his injuries. and
this has been forwarded with formal
application for Uncle Sam to seek
recompense from the French govern
ment for the ex-sai1or.
Rohlfing has no wish to return ia

to live over, he would be content ia

there is plenty of work.

must RELAY CROSS
WALKS WITH FLAGS

An idea into the amount of. work
Mayor Buckingham and Director OF
Public Works M. A. Kenny completed
Yesterday is obtained through a, glance
att the speedometer on the Mayor S
auto, which registered 2S miles. The
two, covered the entire city inspecting
all of the cross walks and the general
condition of the curbs. They found
the crosswalks in fairly good condi-
ton. 1t was noted that the Connecti-
cut Co. had neglected to relay certain
crosswalks. In a number of instances
the company had relaid the walks
with Belgian block and brick, where
f1agstone had been originally, laid.
The director will order the company
to complete the work, and also to re-
place the f1agstones. If the work is
not done Immediately the director will
proceed himself and send, the bill to
the company.
