Frederick Haug, E.,
Local Saloon Man,
Up in Bankruptcy
Receiver Named to Straighten
Out Financial Troubles, Fol-
lowing Fathers Demise.

Judge Haight in the United States
District Court today appointed Judge
Cecil Fl. MacMahon receiver for Fred
erick Haug, jr., owner Of the saloon
and lunch room at 80 Mechanic street.
The appointment was made on the
application of Edward +. McGlynn,
attorney for Schalk Brewing Com
pany, Incorporated, Otto Schalk and
Lincoln & UImer, petitioning credi-
tors.
Haug has, since the death Of his
father, Frederick Haug, ST.. operated
the saloon, which for more than half
a century has been situated at the
same place, and has been known
widely in the city as lunching place.
On March IL Haug's sister, Katha-
rine, as sole surviving executor of
the fathers estate, obtained a judg-
ment against him upon note for
$4,000, which she declared he had
given to her father in payment for
the saloon business.
The elder Haug, when he died, left
his residuary estate, consisting of the
property on which the saloon is sit
uated, a lot on Oak street and lot
on Camp street, to Frederick Haug
and his two sisters. When Katha-
rine, as executrix, entered the judg'-
ment against him. it was found that
he had executed a mortgage in the
sum of $4,500. covering all of this
property, to his son, Frederick Haug
Sd, who is working at the bar.
Alleging that this was an act in
bankruptcy, the creditors filed the
petition. Judge MacMahon's bond
was fixed at $1,000.

SCARLETT AND
SMITH OBJECTS
OF ATTACKS
Assistant Prosecutor Says Lat
ter Used Cashier as a
Tool.

John B. Scarlet and Raymond e.
Smith were made the targets of at
tacks in turn In the summing up Of
counsel for the defense and the State
in the final stages of the trial of Scar
lett before Judge Osborne In the Court
of Oyer and Terminer today for mis-
demeanor in oYerdrawing his account
in the Rosevn1e Trust Company.
Judge Osborne began his charge to
the jury, and verdict is expected
later In the day.
Conover English, counsel for Scar
lett, made the attack on Smith, and
asked the jury how they could believe
the testimony of crook and an en-
bezzler. Smiths testimony. he de-
clared, was the whole fabric Of the
case against Scarlett.
Assistant Prosecutor Wilbur Mott
assailed Scarlet bitterly, and ridi-
culed his story on the stand. He as
serted that Scarlet had found out
what Smith was doing In the bank
and that he was in a position to de-
mand of Smith what he wanted. That
he did make such demand was the
prosecutors charge.
Smith had to certify checks for
Scarlett,'' declared the assistant
prosecutor, cor be exposed. Scarlet
had to keep his mouth shut about
Smith or suffer exposure also"
The testimony totalled 100000 words
according to the estimate Of William
Reffland, one of the court stenogra-
piers, and when printed and
bound will make the bulkiest docu-
ment turned out at the Court House
within the memory of any Of the
stenographers there. Were the tes-

Jury today bitterly attacked Raymond
e. Smith, the former secretary-treas-
urer of the wrecked bank. who was
the States chief witness against
Scarlett-Raymond Embezzler Smith,
he called him.
Mr.. English declared that the State
had not proved q single thing against
Scarlet. "dow can you believe
crooked books and crooked wit
nesses?" he asked the jurors. Smith
was a crook, an embezzler and a
thief, he asserted, who deceived Scar
lett into thinking he was an honest
man.

MARCH TO GO
OUT LIKE LAMB
Forecaster Sees No Snow and
Predicts Moderate Winds
from Northwest.

March seemingly has relented Of its
resolve to go away in a rough and
rowdy manner and there will be no
snow tonight in Newark, unless the
forecaster read the signs wrong at
noon today. He refused to talk about
the temperature tonight and tomor-
row, but permitted the impression to
be gathered that there will be little
change, or none, and that the wind
will keep on blowing moderately from
the northwest.
1t was colder in Newark yesterday
than in Alaska, according to weather
reports from the observatory at Sitka.
March was giving them something to
talk about up there 10y furnishing
temperature in the 40's, while the
highest reached in this city was 3s.
The lowest point reached by the
mercury last night was 26, six degrees
above the low mark of Monday night,
but so strong was the sun this fore
noon that the mercury rose almost
20 degrees in four hours, standing at
46 at noon, with no evidence of being
ready to quit its climb. A six-mile
wind from the northwest was blow
ing at noon.
Another wintry storm swept the
southwestern States last night and
early today, bringing snow over the
Carolinas, Tennessee and North
Georgia and general rains further
south.
South Carolina had a snow and
sleet storm of unusual severity, which
weather bureau officials said broke al
records since 1887
Snow and sleet fell in Augusta, Ga I,
and telegraph and telephone service
throughout North Carolina was de-
moralized by the snow storm, which
continued today. Asheville reported
nearly n foot OF snow.

LAWYEE GETS
PUNCHED FORA
COURT REMARK
w. G. WaIdron Attacked In
Street After Squabble Be-
fore Judge Ungaro.

William G. Waldron, q local lawyer
nearly started a small sized riot in
the Fourth Precinct Police Court to-
day, when, after words with Nicholas
La Vecchia, counsel for the defendant
In the case at issue had informed
waldron that he was a man that
could not be insulted and I'll show
you some time when we are outside
waldron replied, IF you do, there
will be a dead 'Wop' around here"
La Vecchia appeared as counsel for
Daniel Del Viscova, who was arrested
on February 90, the complainant be-
ing Ferdinando De Gulio. the father
of a nine-year-old girl The charge
is q serious one.
Waldron objected TO the way La
Vecchia was questioning the little
girl, and informed the court thar 1t
was impossible for a girl as young
as she was TO answer questions as
they were being put to her. There
were words used that she was too
young to understand, the lawyer said,
and furthermore, that it was not the
little girl that was the complainant,
but the girls father.
La Vecchia told Mr.. Waldron that
the little one was the complaining
witness. 1t was at this juncture that
Lawyer La Veeehia informed Wal
dron that the way he was acting WAS
an insult to the court.
La Vecchia said that 1t was not
political etiquette. but changed his
words to legal etiquette" La Vec-
CHA then told Del Viscova that he
would be pleased if he would get an
other lawyer, as he did not wish to
try a case with Waldron, and he
doubted If any other lawyer in the
city did.
1t was then that waldron, in n ut
Of anger, cried: "If you do there
will be a dead wop around here"
Protests ChOrused.
There was a storm of protests from
numerous Italians who had gathered
in the room to hear the testimony.
Court Interpreter Peter Remondalli.
of the First precinct, was among
those who took exception to the re-
marks made by Mr.. Waldron, and
told him so, but realizing that he
was out of place, apologized 10 the
court for 'butting in"
Judge Mancusi- Ungaro then held
Del NlSCoV& In $l,5O0 Dali TO await
the action of the grand jury. The
bail was furnished. Judge Ungaro
in speaking of the case said that
some day some fresh lawyer will be
very much surprised when he is
handed fine of s25 for contempt Of
court"
Lawyer waldron then publicly apollo
gized to the court and all the menu
bers OF the Italian race who were
present. Mr.. Waldron directly in
cluded Mr.. La Vecchia in his apology.
Last week there were numerous
rumors af1oat that this case had been
tried to be hushed up by friends of
the defendant threats having been
Issued.
Mr.. waldron had left the build
ing in the meanwhile and was walk
ing in the direction of Belmont ave-
nue., when two Italians stopped him
and asked him If they could speak to
him. Waldron replied in the aftirma-
tive. and as he tilted his head to hear
what the man had to say was struck
ON the side of the face, AS Mr.. Wall
dron turned to see what the matter
was he was Immediately struck on the

WASHINGTON, March n.-Search
of state department records today re-
vealed that Raymond Swoboda made
application for an American passport
in New York on February 26. Swoboda
gave his residence as San Francisco.
The state department today forward
ed what information It has TO the de-
partment Of justics for investigation
NEW YORK, March n.-The cir
cumstances under which Mr.. Swo-
boda sailed aboard La Touraine Feb
ruary 27 we're clearly recalled today
at the office Of the French line here.
Ticket Clerk Recalls Him.
MT. Swoboda, 1t was said, came
into the Office of tho ,.ne on February
26. the day before the steamer sailed,
and, presenting wrst appeared to be
an American passport, viseed by the
French consul hero, said he wanted TO
engage passage to Havre. The ticket
clerk. whom he engaged in conNersa-
ton. recalled him today as pleasant
spoken man Of about thirty-seyen
years, wearing glasses, who said that
ne expected TO sell some supplies to
the French government.
The nature OF these supplies, so
far as could be recalled, was not
stated. Mr.. Swoboda did say, how
ever, the clerk recalls, that he wanted
to take aboard samples or the sup
plies and to do 50 would prefer 10
have them shipped with him as ex-
cess baggage. The clerk is under the
Impression that the supplies had
something TO do with the use Of gas
oline-inferentiaily q gasoline engine
of some sort.
Swoboda was sent TO the freight
agent Of the line before the ticket
was issued, TO arrange for the trans
portation of his excess baggage. He
came back in a few minutes to the
ticket clerk, apparently disappointed,
and said that the freight agent would
not permit him to put his baggage
aboard the steamer, and that he
would have to see Paul Faguet, the
general agent Of the line, to get per-
mission to do SO.
Mr. Faguet was IN his office at the
time and the ticket clerk directed
Swoboda to the room. Swoboda re-
manned closeted with Mr.. Faguet, the
clerk said, about ten minutes and
emerged from his office smiling.

II didn't get all that I wanted. .
Swoboda told the clerk, "but 1 did
get a concession. I can take some Of
my samples with me-"
Thereupon, the clerk asserts, Swo-
boda paid for his ticket, took 1t and
departed. He made no further visit,
so far as could be recalled, to the
office.
In recalling the conversation, the
clerk said Swoboda had told him he
had visited the Cunsrd line office here
and that the Cunard line was willing
for him to carry his samples as excess
baggage.
Swoboda gave his full name as Ray
mond Rolf Swoboda. This was the
name. the clerk remembered, that ap-
