PACKER HOUSE
WILL BE SOLD
New Company, 1t is Said,
Has Been Formed to Pur-
chase Defunct HosteIry
PURCHASERS RUM0RED
manv Believe Historic Hotel
Would be Paying PROPOSE
tlon in Short Time.
PURCHASERS RUMORED

There was but q modest choice of
d~inks and scarcity of cigars this
morning at the Packer House, the
usual scene of opulence and plenty.
The reason for this lugubrious
change is known to all who frequent
the hostelry, who hope and believe
that soon new company will be
formed to conduct the business. II
is the general belief that with proper
management the historic hotel would
pay good dividend.
The factory league banquet Satur-
day night about exhausted the luxu-
ries OF the hotel, and very little OF
such supplies are now being pur-
chased for the hotel. 1t has been the
policy of Temporary Receiver John
X. Sheehy to allow only what was
absolutely necessary to be bought as
stock for the hostelry until the re-
turn Of the order to show cause why
receiver should not be appointed to
administer the affairs of the COM
pany, which was sued out by Albert
Bollschweiler, largest stockholder OF
the company. The order is returna-
BILE tomorrow before Vice Chancellor
j. e. Howell at Newark, when it is
practically positive a permanent re-
ceiver will be named for the com
pany.
Following the appointment of a
permanent receiver the business OF
the company VIII be advertised fof
sale, and If no buyer be found in a
stated period, the stock, fixtures
good will, ETC., will be closed ont at
public auction.
When Temporary Receiver Sheehy
was asked this morning If he would
accept the appointment as perma-
nent receiver, which will unquestion-
ably be made tomorrow, he stated
that 1t depends on the development
of certain conditions.
Several rumors are prevalent con
corning who is likely to take over the
hotel, one of which is to the effect
that Mrs. Catherine Book, proprie-
tress of the Warren House, will buy
the hotel Mrs. Book, however, when
asked about the matter, stated she
had no idea of such a change. She
declared she had troubles already OF
her own. 1t 1t believed that when
the business is disposed of at the
bankrupt sale that 1t will be readily
purchased and a new company form
ed. 1t is said that J. s. Taylor, for
merly interested in the hostelry, de-
sires to be one of the stockholders

SUNDAY DANCE
LAW ENFORCED
No Dancing After II O'clock
Saturday Night Order OF
Chief Burke.
RESK0 Is FINED $40
Said He Had Permit But
Burke Claims No Permits
to Break Law.

Despite any and all kinds of per-
mits given by the Board of Excise
Commissioners, Saturday night
dances must not be conducted during
any part of Sunday, according to a
declaration made by Chief of Police
Patrick J. Burke this morning after
the fining of John Resko, for an ex-
else violation. The official made it
emphatic that no dance or similar
entertainment would be permitted
after IL o'clock midnight of any Sat
urday, no matter what sort of per
nit was held or how holder con-
strued the provisions of any permit.
The occasion was the arrest of
John Resko, twenty-seyen years old,
of 673 Catherine street, for holding
dance and musical entertainment
in hall connected with his saloon
at 1850 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The man pleaded guilty to the
charges made against him. Chief
Burke said he would be satisfied to
have him punished for violating the
excise law, and Recorder Pickersgill
accordingly imposed fine of $40 on
that score.
1t was just 1850 o'clock Sunday
morning when Patrolman Rymarc-
zyk discovered the Sabbath law vio-
lation. He reported it to headquar-
ters. Resko was summoned to ap-
pear at s O'Clock this morning. While
pleading guilty to the charges, he
displayed permit from the excise
board to hold dance. He was plain
ly informed that under no circum-
stances could he hold dancing Sun
day.
This is taken as serious blow to
many saloonkeepers and proprietors
of dance halls. 1t has appeared to
them that entertainments could be
extended into the hours of Sunday
morning if a permit was procured.
Chief Burke says a permit cannot be
given to break a law.

FAMILY TEARS
SAVES FATHER
Piscslnski, Wifc-Bsater Had
Fine Paid by His Future
Son-In-Law.
PAID FINE OF $50

Among several stirring scenes
caused during the arraignment of
prisoners In police court this morn
ing, was one most heart-rending in
which a cruel and unfaithful hus'
dren wept over his Imprisonment.
He was Joseph Piecsinski, fiftyfour
years old, of 174 Broad street. His
arrest was made yesterday by Patrol
man Quinlan on complaint of his
wife.
The authorities displayed little
sympathy for the man when Mrs.
Piecsinski testified that he was liv-
ing with another woman and that he
came to her home yesterday morning
and beat her without provocation.
Recorder Pickersgill ruled he would
have to pay fine or spend six
months in the county jail. AS the
prisoner turned to return to the
prison pen, he bowed to his wife,
three grown daughters and little
son, and emitted polite good bye. "
Instantly there came an outburst of
tears and the three girls rushed for
ward to fall on the prisoners neck
and shoulders, while his little son
held on to his trouser leg, in vain
efforts to keep the officers from re-
turning him to cell. A few min
utes later, Mrs. Piacsinski began to
weep,
The women took turns at seeing
the prisoner in his cell. At the time
there was wailing on every side. In
addition to their cries, there was
weeping by mother and erring boy.
Piecsinski finally secured his liberty
through the good graces of an in
tended son in-law. The young man
took $50 from his savings, which
we're to be used for his coming we'd
ding to Piecsinsh's daughter, and
paid the fine.
