COOKS GET NO WAGES

The Sterling restaurant at 90
Smith strcat came to a sudden and
speota'nlar close yesterday after
noon when representative of the
owuars OF the furniture foreclosed
and sold 1t to local furniture deal
ar. Il truck was backed against the
curb and the chairs and tables were
carted away while business was be-
ing done In the restaurant. One
patron who was eating dessert at
the time had only eaten a small por-
tion OF 1t when the table and con-
tents were removed from In front Of
him.
Within few minutes after the
furniture bad been removed the
restaurant was swarmed with anx-
tous creditors. They sought amounts
varying from q few dollars up to
more than 5000. There was the
butcher, baker, grocer, landlord,
cash register dealer, builders, paint
er, etc. The Pratt-Brown Company.
landlords, who desired payment Of
rent for October amounting to $50,
we're the first to have a writ OF at
tachment issued. Notices to that
effect were posted on the door, but
not until most of the restaurant
equipment had been removed.
Some of the creditors became in
dignant because of the action of the
Fratt-Brown Company. They con-
tended that the concern should have
been content with the brick addition
and tile work in the building as
sufficient reimbursement for the Oc-
tober rent, and should have left the
equipment for the other creditors.
AS 1t is, there is practically nothing
for a majority Of the creditors to
Iovy upon and their money seems
lost. About twenty tables and num-
erons chairs, delivered by Philadel-
phia concern, were sold yesterday af-
ternoon to l. Miller, OF State and
Fayette streets. They were removed
to his premises. Representatives
from law offices were quickly on the
scene and one procured Constable ].
G. Brown and had notice Of writ of
attachment posted.
Among the principal creditors are
Ira r. Grouse and Boving Mosaic
Tile & Mantle Company, who have
approximately 1920 and $95 due on
building work: Thorvald Ernst. a
painter, auQ b meat uodlluK COHCoTu
which has $98 due on a meat bill.
The restaurant was originally
opened by 8. v. Pondikas, Of Tren-
ton, and Gus Houles, of this city, on
September %, last. Pondikas owns
a shoe-shining establishment in the
capital city, and, it Is claimed, knew
very little about the restaurant busi-
ness. Houles, who has worked In
restaurants, furnished the knowl-
edge and when business grew he was
removed from the partnership, he
claims Trade diminished and bills
remained unpaid. AS the proprietor
had contracts to feed several hun
dred f1remen next Thursday 1t was
expected the place would have been
kept open until after that time, but
1t came to sudden close yesterday
when the furniture man appeared.
The proprietor claims he lost ap-
proximately $1,100 In the venture.

ROOSEVELT TO \
QUIT HOSPITAL
NEXT TUESDAY
CRI N|NAL At
ACE OF SEVEN
Boy Robs Woman Who Fed
Rim--ls Released.

The story of boy who did not
know right from wrong, the urchin
/ VINO never had a chance, a criminal
| at the age Of seven, was aired in
/ police court amid bowed heads last
night. 1t was most pathetic and
touched the heart of Recorder Kehoe
and several other officials. The story
was not of the fiction variety, but
plain truth. 1t concerned seven
year-old Jimmy Surak, lad wearing
but ragged waist and the remains
Of pair of knee pants.
| He sat on the edge of the re-
corder's bench charged with tho
theft of about 1915 from Mrs.
Michael Gondura, who had befriend-
ed him yesterday morning by giving
him some food and placing him IN q
bed to sleep. 1t was claimed that he
peeked out from under the covers
and watched Mrs. Gondura place the
| money in a closet; then when she
disappeared he got out of bed and
stole it.
He was arrested yesterday morn
| Ing and arraigned at 7 O'Clock last
night. For the want of a proper IN
| stitutlon TO send the lad to, the re-
corder let him go. After giving him
money to go out and purchase a
meal, Mr.. Kehoe very kindly ar
ranged for comfortable place on
one Of the court benches where the
lad could sleep. This morning Mr..
kehoe again gave the boy money to
| purchase food and sent him out I'M
| der instructions in an endeavor to
have him improve his condition.
Jimmy comes from a family of
need and destitution. He is one OF
| five children who are ali poorly
clothed, fed and housed, all because
the father is blind and in the State
| Hospital for the Insane and the
mother is unable to earn enough to
provide properly for the family. Ac-
cording to the police Surat was
stricken blind with potash on
towel with which his wife hit him
in the face in fit of anger. Iilnmy
most reluctantly told the court last
night that his mother. brothers and
sisters lived in single room and q
shed in High street, near Rucking-
ham 4Fenue. They kept house IN
Jimmy usually slept with ii brother
etlu Si6tci WhSu uoulSr pul ttuliu IL
more comfortable to sleep out at
times. He presented a pitiful sight
as he sat on top of the recorders s
desk. He was without shoes and
stockings, his feet were very dirty
and he was hatless.
Mr.. Kehoe CLEANED after much
questioning that the lad seldom got
wash or much of any other kind of
attention. The boy could not re-
member the date of his last cleaning
and in response to query said he
was probably washed every Christ
mas.
The recorder shook his head in
pity and said "A criminal at the age
of seven"
"Yes," replied Detective Sergeant
Huff, "it's tough, for he is boy who
never had a chance"
When questioned concerning the
whereabouts of the stolen money the
J lad lied repeatedly. At one time he
said a boy took 81 of 1t; later he
confessed 1t was hidden In a table
in Hartford street.

HAVE MACHINE TO
CHANGE OIL TO GAS

Clarence Allison of the Economy
Gas Manufacturing company of At
kinson, Kan, has established a
branch Office of that concern in this
city at 1903 Second avenue, and the
equipment and fixtures are being in
stalled today. Their machine is one
which converts oil into gas.
Using crude kerosene oil as a basis
the new apparatus automatically con-
verts the oil into gas. The machine
to be put on the market by this con-
Germ departs from the old method of
attempting to convert oil into gas by
burning It through heated pipes or
retorts, which has been proven I'M
successful. This method was to heat
the oil before coming in contact with
the air and flame, thus giving an i'm
perfect combustion.
The new machine brings the oil to
it's desired place practically cold I'M
I'll the air which is forced through in
drums comes in contact with it and
converts it instantly into hydrocar-
bon gas.
The machine can be used in hot
air, hot water and steam furnaces OF
all designs and in cooking and heat
ing stoves.
Representatives OF the firm claim
that three meals can be cooked at q
cost OF 5 cents for oil.
