room Open After IL O'clock
at Night Was Aired in Re-
corder's Court Today.

By the defendant paying fine OF
$50, the case of the city against
Sigmund Mailer, one of the proprie-
tors of the Madison hotel, was settled
in the recorders court last night.
Mr.. Mailer was accused of violating
the excise ordinance by keeping open
and selling liquor after IL o'clock a.
M, last Friday.
Former Recorder H. w. Kehoe ap-
peared for the defendant, and City
Attorney Andrew Wight appeared
for the city. This was the first hear
Ing in the recorders court in which
Mr.. Wight appeared as city attorney.
Mr.. kehoe. on behalf of his client,
said that there was no evidence to
warrant a conviction; that the bar
room was open while being cleaned
out after the days business, and that
many men OF high reputation were
there. He said that his client did not
desire them involved, and would not
contest the case by bringing those
patrons into the police court to tes-
THY. He acknowledges that officers
did enter after IL o'clock and found
the place open, but denied that they
found any liquor being sold. He said
his client was willing to pay the fine
to terminate the action or do any
thing in the discretion of the recor-
der.
No Evidence as to Selling.

that such plea was not revelent in a

The committee resumed its hear
ing at 1915 o'clock this morning
with every member of the committee
present except Assemblyman Wolver-
ton, of Camden, who is engaged to-
day In attending hearing of the
committee on canals and railroads.
That deputies bIazed away at
strikers without provocation and
that strikers were neither drunk nor
armed during the fertilizer strike
here, was the substance of some OF
the testimony rendered before the
legislative committee investigating
strike conditions here today. Three
witnesses had been summoned up to
the time that the noon recess was
taken.
John Gutti coal passer at the
Liebig works, was the first witness
called. He stated that he had work
ed at the factory until two weeks
after the beginning of the strike. He
claimed to have been a witness to the
shooting in which two strikers we're
killed and about a score of others
injured, stating that he witnessed it
from the porch of his home. He
testified relative to the condition of
his home, stating that he had five
children and that none of his family
had tasted meat since the beginning
of the strike.
Officer John J. Bowling stated
that he was not at the Williams &
Clark station when the shooting took
place, but was at a point some dis
tance away where he had clear
view OF what was going on At the
sound of the first shot he called I'M
chief of Police Harrington. AS he

has been done by the commits
sioners. This should be suffi-
cient for the taxpayers, according
to an official in the office.
The jitney business as conduct
ed by the county amounts to APP

said. The flotilla consists of two
Fords, a truck and seven-pas-

mechanics and two drivers. The
county does all it's own repair
work. The expenses are appor-
toned to the different depart
ments, according to the amount

Assessor James Cameron as
serted today he was satisfied with
this system, but objected to pay

HUGEFORTRESS'
TAKEN AT LAST

PETROGRAD, Sept. 3.-The
fortress of Grodno surrendered
today. Although this is the last
fortified position on the Kovno-
Brestlitovsk line in the hands Of
the Germans. the city of Grodno
is still held by the Russians.
Retirement of the main body
of the fortress garrison is being
made In good order to the right
bank of the Niemen river. An
official statement from the war
office today admitted the evacua-
tion of the fortress.
The withdrawal followed the
capture of several outer defenses
west of Grodno and the arrival
of fresh German forces, the guns
of which made capture inevitable.
The fortress was held only to
cover the withdrawal of the Slavs'

No booty fell to the hands of
the Germans. as the same tactics
observed at Warsaw were EN-
ployed in the evacuation of the
fortress. All ammunition and
guns were removed and mounted
on the right bank of the Nieman.
When the Slavs evacuated the
fort. the Germans were prevent
ed from crossing the river and
occupying the city. Russian lines
are now being reformed east of

artillery holding the city. 1t is
officially admitted that Russian
forces along the southeastern
front may abandon Galicia en-
tirely.
