SHAFFER FINED
S25 AND COSTS
Moving Picture Show Mar
Adjudged Guilty by the
Mayor.
Shaffer Ran His Show Sun
day, Jan. 7. and Was
Arrested.
His Attorney Set up Defense
That He Was Not Doing
Common Labor.

Mayor Claude d. Walters put the
ban on the opening of motion pic
turo theaters on Sunday when he
fined Adam Shaffer, proprietor Of the
Princess theater on West usnter
street, $25 and costs this morning
after finding him guilty OF perform
ing common labor on Sunday
The charge was the recult of Shaf-
fer opening his theater for business
on January Z, 1912. Upon the de-
fenGhnts promise to refrain from
opening his show on Sunday in the
future, Mayor walters remltted the
fine. shaffer paid the costs of the
case and was dismissed.
Several days ago. the defendant
pleaded not guilty to the charge
placed gaihst him. After being post
poned from time TO time, the case
came to trial at nine o'clock this
morning. other picture men in the
city anxlously awaited the outcome
and were ready to open their theaters
providing the mayor found Shaffer
not guilty.
Last summer, the grand jury ignor
ed the case of Albert Mercer, pro-
prletor for one day OF the Luna
theater on South Main street, who
was charged with exhibiting a
theatrical and dramatic performance
on Sunday, after that the statute pro-
.hibiting common labor On Sunday
was the only law standing In the
picture mems way
Attorney William p. Moloney who
defended Shaffer. contended that
places OF amusements such as pic
ture shows, could be opened on Sun
day under the same right that peo.
pie enjoyed driving, motoring, exA
cursions and the like, and that the
opening of picture shows involved no
more common labor than did these
things.
City Solicitor Frew. w. Warner
placed the opening OF the shows in
the same category as the common la.
Dor of the grocer who does business
on Sunday and cited cases where tho
grocer had been punished.
Onteer Thompson and Chief a
Police McDonough were the witness
ses examined for the prosecution
They testified that the Princess
theater was open on January and
that Shaffer sold tickets for the per-
formance.
Indirect reference to the chief OF
police mix-up was made while Nc.
Donough was on the stand. What
official position do you hold" was
asked by the city solicitor.
Unhcsltatingly, McDonough replied
'Chicf Of police Of the city Of Ma.
rion.
During his cross examination, At.

propoundod was "Yuo wouldn't con.

ed, following Moloney's train OF
of thought and remembering his
struggle for his salary as chief OF
police, yesterday.
At the conclusion OF the testimony
both sides rested. The attorney for
the defense filed n motion for the
dismissal of the case on the grounds
of lack of evidence but Mayor Wal
ters overrulcd the motion.

had fallen upon Colonel Harvey l eX-

The local nigh school team will

Erve Wratten. one of the best third
sackers who ever cavorted around a
diamond, and who did much to help
put Newark on the baseball map, mas
received and signed his 1912 contract
with the Buffalo Eastern league team
The contract carried with 1t a fine
salary raise.
Wratten will leave March Is for
the Buffalo training camp near Ma
con-. Ga. lie states that he IS in
Ano condition and will be able to give
his club the best that he has. Wrat-
ten is one of the best and most con-
scientious Of ball players. His legion
OF friends all over the country will
pull for him and hope some day to
see the popular Newark player on
one Of the big National league teams.
The loaded bowling ball appears to
be doomed. Sentiment is 81 strong
against 1t that this will probably be
the last season the "crookcd" ball
will be allowed in the big tourna-
ments.
Members Of the National Bowling
Association plan to abolish It at their
annual meeting early in March. The
American bowling clubs may take
similar action at the meeting during
the tournament in Chicago March to
22. The western association wants
the straight ball.
Users of both the loaded and
straight balls say the game can be
benefited little by the use of the
doctorcd balls and favor the abolish
ing of 1t.

NEW YORK, August 1.-"Dago
Frank" Cirosci and Shapiro, the
chauffer and joint owner of the mur.
der car were before lAe grand jury
investigating the deauh or Herman
Rosenthal today. The inference was
that Cirosci had confessed and that
his statements were of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant his being taken
before the grand jury Whitman said
Cirosci had been positively identified
as one of the men who shot ROsen-
thai.
Three witnesses confronted CirOsci
and Shapiro at the ristrict attorneys
office today and positively identified
them as participants in the murder.
Shapiro had already confessed. The
report that Cirosci had, proved to be
erroneous, however.
John w. Hart, counsel for Becker,
was taken before the grand jury this
afternoon and asked about the affidav-
it he was supposed to have obtained
from Rose before the latter surrend-
cred.
"Dago Frank" was identified as be-
ing in the gray murder car at the
time of the shooting. The identifca-
ton, which was made by three men,
occurred shortly before Cirosci was
taken before the grand Jury.
