Enjoys Rare Wines in Hold Of
Fruit Liner. and Is Dis
charged BY Court.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The United
Fruit liner Metapan brought into port
yesterday a stowaway whose expert
ences are probably unparalleled In the
annals OF stolen steamship rides. He
had fled himself with rare wines. then
dried epples. until he was so stout nc
had difficulty In worming from his
hiding place In n hold.
The stowaway Is Henry Poertner,
twenty-five years old. He said he
slowed away on the steamship Zacapa.
OF the same line, at New York three
weeks ago. He kept himself concealed
In the forward hold for eight days and
nights. during two OF which the vessel
lay In Kingston harbor. Jamaica.
At Colon he squeezed through crates
nd boxes nineteen pounds heavier than
when he embarked. He was appre-
hended and hustled aboard the Meta
pan.
On his arrival here the Zacapa's Of
ficers turned him over to the city police,
and he was taken to the Tombs court.
Magistrate Herbert discharged the man,
saying he had no Jurisdiction, as the
case had not happened within the city
limits or even those Of the country.

FINE POINT ABOUT THE Law
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Been
Raised by the Decision Of
Learned judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and .
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you to keep 1t from barking and yelp-
ing day and night, interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss Of sleep, and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
ing. yelping, and bowling. except in
cases Of burglary or fire." how would
you set about obeying the order?
II you fix 1t SO the dog cannot bark
1t all and burglars invade your domi.
cile OF Ere breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying tho
Injunction that your restraint of the
barking. yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
II no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking. yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out
for burglars and fires and be ready to
remove your restraint Of tho dogs
vocalixation when either or both ap
pear?
Yes. you might get rid Of the dog.
Of course. but there IL nothing said
about that. Tho law does not prohib-
It you keeping the dog. All 1t 10 con.
cerned about is that you shall not a.
low the dog to become . nuisance.
You have to place 1t under restraint.
Bur you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts. you
do not have to worry about what con.
stitutes reasonable restraint because
there's not q word about reasonable
hess in the law. All you have to do
10 to restrain the animal from bark
ing. yelping and bowling, except in
cases Of burglary Or IRE. The excep-
ton may. 1t is true. seem unreason-
able, but the law is made to be obeyed
somehow and 1t leaves 1t to you tc
and out how.

Cost Of Living.

Some light on the cost Of living
proposition in the United States Is at
forded by an editorial appearing in
one Of the periodicals of the canning
industry. "The Canned Goods Trade"
1t asserts that it has often seen the
Gamer get sixty-fve cents q dozeu
for tomatoes, which the jobber sod
to the retailer for eighty-five cents a
dozen and the retailer to the consum-
or or $1.20 a dozen. It will be seen
from this that from the cannery to
the consumer the price Of canned
goods on that basis increased nearly
100 per cent. It is asserted that the
consumer has been educated to pay
ten cents a can for canned foods and
that the canners ought likewise to ed
ucate the jobbers to pay seven cents.
or thereabouts. Under the present
conditions corn is the only canned
product that Is regularly retailed for
ten cents a can. Many retailers are
urging the importance of booming the
corn business, since it is only one Of
the heavy sellers among canned foods
which may be sold for a dime.
The canning industry of the United
States is an important one. The can
ner's value of the products 10 placed
at $3.50, 600. 900. When one remembers
that the consumers price 10 from so to
100 per cent higher than this. 1t will
be seen that canned foods enter large
ly into the diet of the people. It is
estimated that nearly 1000, 000, 900
pounds of fresh milk is condensed an
nually In the United States to supply

The problem Of using coal tar dyes

Nevsy Notes From,

RITCHIE HAILED new CHAMPION;
RIVERS DEFEATS JOE MANDOT

Dale City Arena, Nov. 29.-Wob-
bling around on his leaden legs, his
eyes glazed and his body reeling Ad
Wolgast conqueror of Battling Nelson,
fouled Willie Richie twice in the
sixteenth round of their fight yester-
day and with a wave of referee Jim
Griffith's hand which disqualified
him, Ritchie became lightweight
champion of the world
By his cool, calculating ring gen
eralship, his courage and his all
around splendid fighting ability
Ritchie won his spurs in the cham
pionship division. Although the re-
cord books will not show a knockout
to his credit over Wolgast, he uniis-
putably punched his way round after
round to a victory with his left to his
face and his stinging right cross.
The end of the fight came after
those at the ringside had noticed that
Wolgasts strength was diminishing,
The boys faced each other in the six
teenth and Ritchie confidently carried
the milling to the champion, from
whose face the sneering smile had
passed. AS Wolgast was going away
Ritchie made him vince with a two
handed volley to the mid-section and
then quickly shot out crashing right
and caught the Cadillac fighter fairly
on the jaw He fell back on the ropes
and sagged, pitching forward in an
other instant toward his own corner.
Richie crowded him ana as he raised
his head the San Francisco boy re-
peated the right cross and Wolgast
went sprawling.
Badly dazed Wolgast yet covered so
that Richie could not send in the
finishing slash and only "a seconds
remained of the life of the round.
Ritchie, near his own corner, passed
the deadly right cross again when
Wolgast's left took him low. Billy
Nolan, his manager, leaped to the
edge of the ring and shouted to Ref
cree Griffin and hundreds of voices
raised the cry of foul"
Griffin rushed over and cautioned
Wolgast but in another instant the
left rip of the champion found the
same spot. Ritchie tried to fight
back, but he was plainly in distress.
Griffin then rushed between the
fighters, pushed Wolgast aside and
raised Ritchie's hand in token of VIC
tory. The crowd at the ringside
cheered and hundreds rushed to shake
the hand of the new king of the light
weights.
