GARNTSHEE SALARY

London Brokers Try to Make
Herzog Pay--Will Get
$500 q Year.
DEBTOR rs RITZ GUEST
He VIII Have to Live More
Than Ia Years to Wipe Off
Slate at Present Rate.

That II occasionally is more difficult
TO collect n judgment than to obtain Z
appears from a garnishee order signed
in the Supreme Court In the case Of a
judgment for s17454s entered against
Aladar Walter Herzog. who is with the
banking firm OF Halle & Stieglitz.
The Judgment was obtained here re-
Gently by the London stock brokerage
firm of Alfred ]. Schwabe & Co. which
sued Herzog in the English courts and
got an award OF s136.526 in 1907. All
efforts to collect It in England failed and
suit was brought here to enforce the
Judgment, with the result that the plain.
tin got the amount of the original judg-
ment with accrued interest, the total be-
Ing tho amount just filed here against
Herzog.
The claim was based on an agreement
By which the business brought to the
firm by Herzog should be done at the
Joint risk Of Herz)g and the firm. Her
Zog was TO have half the joint profits
and 10 per cent. Of the net profits. When
an accounting was had between the parties
Herzog agreed to permit the judgment to
be entered against him, although con-
tending that he didn't owe as much as
was claimed. When suit WAS brought
TO enforce the judgment here Her1og
contended one OF the considerations was
that tho plaintiff would take no steps
TO enforce payment, but that Herzog
could pay voluntarily when he was able.
The papers state that the plaintin's
attorney was informed that Herzog had
very little money ON hand. but that he
could proba ply raise $1,000 and would
add $4,000 more out of his salary and
earnings, and would pay off the Judg-
mcnt at the ratio OF $4,000 year. In
behalf of Herzog 1t was said that TO
maintain his position he was obliged
TO live at the Ritz-Carlton and spend
$50 900 a year out OF his estimated earn
ings OF $4,000. 1t was alleged that the
Judgment mad prevented HerzoE from tax
ing n lucrative position with the Atlantic
Fruit and Steamship Company. IL was
said by the creditor that even when bust
res is bad Herzog insists oil smoking
90 cent cigars.
The attorneys for the London firm
have now obtained an order to garnishee
Herzog's salary OF $4,000 year from
Halle & Stieglitz. Under this order the
Judgment creditors may collect only $3.50
a year. Mr.. Herzog must live more than
IA years and draw salary all that time
to pay the judgment AT that rate.
In an effort TO discover property owned

order requiring him to appear for ex-

Tho scientific facts are all in favor
Of the cigarette. and no man can change
these facts because he personally prefers

plug to the cigarette"
Mr. Hill said that the anti-cigarette
agitation OF a few years ago was such
that medical men and other scientists
undertook thorough examinations OF thu
cigarette which resulted in the same set OF
findings: That the cigarette is abso-
lutely pure that Il contains less nicotine
than any other form OF tobacco products
that tho combustion of the paper is harm
less in its effect on the human physiologv
and that it's temperate use is in no wny
injurious to normal users.
Mr.. Hill gave figures showing that 49,
812. 092, 900 cigarettes were made IN the
United States in 1913, against $500, 900
600 in 1900. or an increase of 700 pes
