TRUNKS FULL OF SWITCHES

Along With Them Are Taken Two
Women and Man Accused of False
Pretense in Soliciting Human Hair
in the City of Altoona

There are in this city two trunks

awaiting Identification by the owners.
With one trunk full of human hair

another for shipment, w. f. Pelar,

pretense in which the hair figures
prominently, was arrested at clock
this afternoon by City Detective White.
The police say they are certain that
some of the hair belongs to Altoona
people and they believe that some of
it comes from Johnstown, and there is
a chance that some of it is Harrisburg

to sell it. Two women were travelling
with Pelar and, the police say, were So

Contends HIS marriage
WAS NOT. A LEGAL One
Samuel Looper Raises Unusual Plea
When Judge Orders Him to Pay
$50 Monthly Maintenance Money
Court to Hear Argument OH Point

Before Judge McCarrell made an or
der last evening directing Samuel Loop
er to pay his wife $25 a month, Loop
er, defendant in a non-support ease,
put in the unusual plea that the wom-
an seeking the financial aid is mot
actually his wife. He admitted, how
ever, that since 1885 he has recog-
nized her as such and to his friends had
referred to her as his wife.
Looper admitted that he went
through marriage ceremony with Mrs.
Looper in 1885, but he contends that
was before she had obtained legal sepa-
ration papers from her first husband
and that therefore the second marriage
was not legal. Judge McCarrell gave
Looper's counsel permission to move
to have the s25 a month maintenance
order vacated, saying that he will en-
tertain argument on the technicalities
the defense proposes raising.
Half dozen desertion and non sup
port eases, held over from yesterday Is
session, were continued until the aft
ernoon session to-day, due to the reg
ular argument court being held this
morning. One of the dozen cases list
ed for argument, a ease involving tech
nicalities, was heard this morning,
three were continued and the rest were
slated to be heard at the afternoon ses-
sion.

G..rner Shows That Through an Error
In the Reading of His Bill He Was
Made to Look Like Champion of
the Cause of Adulterants

When the House of Representatives
opened this morning, Representative
Garner, Of Schuylkill, stirred the men,
bers when he declared that he was sur
prised that he had become regarded as
the champion Of benzoate of soda and
adulterants in candy. Representative
Garner declared that he had asked the
Legislative Reference Bureau to pre-
pare him a bill that would absolutely
do away with all use of benzoate of
soda and aduterated candy. He said
he had not had time to 90 over the
bill that was introduced last night and
that if he had been deceived he would
appeal for the ousting of the Le3isla-
tive Reference Bureau.
Morning newspapers had said the
bill as introduced under Mr.. Gamers
name ''permits the use of certain chem
icals in candies and permits more than
one-tenth of one per cent. of benzoate
of soda"
"lf the newspapermen have misin-
terpreted the bill, then l II buy them
glasses" declared Mr.. Garner.
Mr.. Garner later asked for the priv
ilege of the floor for James Moore,
the head of the Legislative Reference
Bureau, whom he said would explain
the bill.
Mr.. Moore told of the request of Mr.
Garner TO the bureau to prepare the
bill and said care was taken in quoting
the original act and making the amend
ment. Mr.. Moore said that the bill. as
introduced by Representative Garner,
absolutely prohibited the use of ben
zoate of soda and the use of adulterants
in candy.
Mr.. Garner also asked the privilege
OF the floor for the newspapermen in

ants when he was strongly opposed TO
