RECORDER REFUSES TO
LISTEN TO "SQUEALER'

Recorder Pickersgill refused to
listen to a complaint of the sale of
liquors on Sunday, last night because
the charge was made by domestic
whom he termed "squealer." The
girl appered before him to have a
warrant issued for the arrest of her
employer. a saloonkeeper's wife.
She claimed the woman had never
allowed her out Of the house In sew
eral months she had been employed
there. She left the place to meet
some relatives who had arrived from
Massachusetts the early part of this
week When she returned the sa-
loonkeeper's wife abused her In no
mild form, she claims. When the
girl resented the woman beat her
over the head and then chased her
from the house, she asserts.
The complaining girl sobbingly
told her story to the recorder last
night and said she was now without
a home and without clothes and
money, as her employer was holding
her clothes and pay. Concluding,
she said the saloonkeeper sold drinks
on Sunday, Now" said the recorder,
don't turn squealer Just because
you got kick coming. You said
nothing when they were treating you
all right" A warrant was issued
and the case of abuse was set for
trial at o'clock tomorrow morning.

patrol and ambulance has been
ordered from the Frank Van Syckle

ance with law and says all competi-
tors were not given a fair chance.

TO HAVE CLEAN
UP WEEK AGAIN
Mayor Confars With Garbage
Contractors About Ii

"Clean up week." which was in
augurated last year by Mayor Ferd
Garretson and is to be made an an
nual event, will be designated next
month, wetther conditions permit
ting. Mr.. GarTetson has conferred
with Graham and McKeon, the gar
bage collecting contractors. He has
been advised by them to hold off un-
til the present wet spell has disap-
peared and streets and roads have
dried somewhat.
The garbage collectors are willing
to cooperate with the mayor in max
ing the event as much of a success as
possible, in an effort to have the city
given a genuine spring cleaning for
the benefit of all concerned. The
contention is that it improves the
sanitary condition of the city to a
large extent.
"Clean up week" will probably be
designated the latter part Of April
as it was last year. Mayor Garrett
son then set the week beginning
April 20. 1t turned out to be a huge
success. Nearly all residents cleaned
rubbish from their homes and back
yards, which was rapidly removed by
the garbage collectors.

GIRLS BLOCK
THE SIDEWALK
Recorder Scores High School
Students for Action.

High school girls and boys who
monopolize the major portion of
sidewalks, thereby forcing older per-
sons to scrape against buildings or
walk in the gutter, and youths who
lounge about street corners came up
for no small amount of criticism in
police court last night. The occasion
was the arraignment of James
Quaekenbush, seventeen years old, of
IA Jefferson street; William Shum-
sky, sixteen years old, of 205 Market
street, and Hyman Fingerote, eigh-
teen years old, of 1872 Paterson
street, for malicious mischief and
for lounging about Smith and State
streets. The youths were lectured
about the practice. Inasmuch as they
were not habitual loungers, and
claimed they had just chanced to
reach the southwest corner when
they were arrested, Recorder Pick
ersgill freed them. They were ar
rested Tuesday afternoon by Patrol
man Quinlan after young Quacken-
bush had kicked can which hit
former Mayor Edward r. Pierce in
the shin.
The recorder repeated his recent
declaration that he would fine heayl-
ly the next street corner lounger who
was brought before him and he said
he was only sorry that he could not
fine school girls, particularly high
school girls, who walk four, five and
six abreast and refuse to step aside
for other pedestrians. He spoke of
instances where women with baby
carriages and old men hobbling
along with the aid of canes had been
forced to the gutter.
Soon after the arrest of these
Mounted Patrolman Hart
mann was detailed to break up col
lection of youthful loungers in Park
avenue near Washington street. He
found two gangs of boys were fight
ing with stones. No arrests we're
made. Yesterday afternoon Officer
Hartmann was detailed to Nisperse
some young trouble makers who had
broken a window in the Shumsky
apartment house at Market and First
streets. They had disappeared be-
fore he arrived.
