Under an act of the recent Legisla-
ture requiring all persons doing busi-
.ess in Delaware to make use of their
ull names, Robert Herzog has been
ield for court by Magistrate Gluck-

Four years ago a similar law was
IN effect here and the firms in general
registered. August Ferschke, who
was then in business at Eighth and
King streets tested the law and II was
declared unconstitutional because of
a flaw in the title. During the last
Legislature the new act was passed.

pvery Of wages or for bill contract

claimed $39 in wages from an cleo
itrical firm at No. 300 Delaware ave-
nue.. Herzog had told the men, ac-
cording to their statement, that he
was a member Of the firm AS they
pould not get their wages they con-
suited Armor d. Chaytor, Jr., who ad-
tised them to have Herzog arrested
