HAT SMASHERS' WARNED
Prosecution to the Limit of the
Law Awaits Those Damaq-
ing Another's Headgear.

Once more. on the eve OF the recall or
straw hats, Panama hats and all summer
headgear. the official edict has gone
forth threatening the hat smasher" with
dire punishment. Last year Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given. a
few days before september II, made a
statement for the benefit of the rowdies
who think breaking up some ones hat
the pinnacle Of humor. and the conse-
quence was that not single arrest was
made for this nuisance.
Mr. Given is on his vacation just now
and will be away until October i, but
Assistant United States Attorney John
Weyrich, who is in his place as prose-
cutor In the United States branch of the
Police Court, has renewed the warning
this year Mr.. Weyrich today promised
to prosecute to the limit OF the law any
one who took 1t upon himself to end the
usefulness of anothers straw lid" The
offense and the retribution Will follow so
swiftly that 1t will take away the breath
OF the offenders. Mr.. Weyrfch says. and
the mid-September crime of assault on
battery has got to cease.
Last year at this time the weather was
much warmer. and there was really more
excuse for continuing to wear hot-weath-
er clothing, but Mr.. Weyrich Says that
man has the constitutional right to wea,
a straw hat If it is showing, if he wants
to. and that he will take no excuse from
any one breaking hats.

13.-Armed with a warrant for Rev. C. E.
Chalfant, local minister. who Is also in
