court ordered the child turned over to

SMALL LOOT TAKEN
AT A. P. ABBOTT & CO.'S
Glass in F. H. Rogers & Co.'S
Rear Door Broken, Lamor-
ey's Rear Door Attacked

From the police department it was
announced to-day that officers are look
ing for clues to the identity of the per-
son who forced an entrance to the Day
light store Sunday night, attempted a
burglary at the +. H. Rogers store and
also tried to force the door to the rear
Of the Lamorey company's clothing store.
In only one Of the three stores was
the burglar successful. AT the Daylight
store, articles Of ladies' wearing apparel
to the value of $40 were taken. Tfl
theft was discovered Monday morning
when members of the firm opened the
store for business. Entrance had been
gained by raising window at the rear.
Apparently the thief had extended his
operations to the second floor as well
as the ground story.
A. p Abbott, of the firm of A. P. Alb
bott & Co., took up the matter with the
police department. Believing that ST.
lence might lead to the detection of the
night visitor the burglary was not wide
ly advertised. Officers looking for clues
during the forenoon learned that a pane
of glass had been broken in the rear
door of the Rogers store. Evidently the
thief had expected to unlatch the door
by poking his hand through the broken
light OF glass. At the Lamorey store
there We're marks made by crow bar
on the rear door. 1t did not yield. The
police are reasonably sure that all three
stores were visited by the same person.
They have one or two meagre clues but
the prospects for running the purloiner
to earth are considered slim.

Organizer Luthringer Spoke Illegally in
Claremont.

Claremont, N. H., Jan. 27.-John Luth.
ringer, the labor organizer arrested last
Saturday charged with speaking on the
street Illegally, appeared yesterday be.
fore +. w. Johnston, who found him
guilty. He was fined $40 and costs OF
$4.62.
He was formally charged with illegally
speaking on the street and with illegally
assembling crowd. Attorney Upton
who. defended Luthringer, argued that
the recent ordinance, which Luthringer
was charged with violating, was not
legally enacted and that it was uncon.
stitutional because it gave the town
officials opportunity for discrimination
and arbitrary powers.
The prosecution simply offered evil
dence of fsthe enactment of the ordinance
and the breach by Luthringer.
Judge Johnston ruled that the ordi-
nance was properly published, that it
was duly enacted and that Luthringer
was guilty.
Attorney Upton and Fl. w. Parker had
a controversy as to the defendants being
placed under sureties to keep the peace.
Judge Johnston ruled that it was proper
anu NHeH lhe case was Appeared ne ac-
cepted John Dawson and G. +. Jerald as
sureties. He informed the large crowd
present that any demonstration would
be considered contempt of court, so ev-
erything was quiet.
Luthringer spoke and started in on his
rights of free speech, and the Judge eau
toned him that he could not discuss the
rulings of the court.
Attorney Upton, Organizers Luthring-
er, Ago and Coyne visited the board of
selectmen later to hire the town hall.
Coyne asked Lewis Colby for the rental.
but the latter said he wanted the full
board to act, and since Mr.. Hawkes. was
i'll, the organizers could come around
about next Saturday for a reply.
Sympathizers have offered house lots
to the organizers TO hold their meetings
on if they cannot find hall. Ago, Luth-
ringer and Coyne visited George A. Ten
ney, cashier of Peoples National bank
