Crook e d Hucksters
Sentenced to Pay $40
Each For Each of Six
Offences
COSTS ALSO
ARE IMPOSED
Court Gives Them Choice Of Paying or
Going to Jail for One Day for Each
Dollar Of the Pensplty-Thsy De-
eide to Produce Money

Confessing to half a dozen charges
of cheating their patrons by selling
by short weight, John Essig and Will
liam Brady, hucksters this morning
were sentenced by Judge Kunkel to
pay fines of $40 and the costs in each
case or take the alternative of serv-
ing one day in Jail for each dollar of
the fines and costs imposed. The de-
PENDANTS both told the Sheriff that
they will pay the fines and costs.
The sentences were imposed under
city ordinance which regulates the
department of the Sealer of Weights
and Measures. Had the defendants not
decided to make payment under the
sentences 1t is figured that their jail
term would have run we'll on to year
since the costs in each case will
amount to as much if not more than
the fine.
Oliver Brady, a dairymsn, was con-
victed of selling cream that was below
the standard of butter fat require
ments, but sentence was deferred and
the court asked District Attorney
Stroup to get additional information
concerning the defendant. Brady ap-

late WAR news summary

Along the 60O-mile eastern front
great activity prevails and Petrograd
believes that the opening of the spring
campaign is at hand. At no previous
time since the war began has there been
such continuous fighting over the whole
front. The official German communica-
tion shows that in the extreme north
the Russians are again on the Prussian
border. The report mentions Russian
attack on Laugazargen, which is Ger
man soil.
An official dispatch from Petrograd
says that the fall of Prezemysl, the Ga
lician city which has been holding out
since early in the war against the Rus
sian attackers, is expected within a
few days.
French and German accounts of the
fighting in the west are at complete
variance. Each official statement an

ice PLANT site IS BOUGHT
Newly Formed Merchants Company Ac.
quires Land at Berryhin Street
and the P. & R. Railway

The newly. organized Merchants Ice
Company announced to-day the purchase
OF plot of ground, 1872 by 1928 feet,
at Berryhill street and the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad, where it will erect
large ice manufacturing plant this
spring. The ground was purchased in
part from the Philadelphia & Reading
and in part from the Commonwealth
Trust Company, as trustees for the Cal
der and Turner estates. The total cost
was $4,000
G. E. Hewitt, organizer of the com
pany, said that an S-inch well 400
feet deep has already been dug ON the
site, which produces a total of $50
gallons of water per minute. He said
water from the well had been analyzed
by the city bacteriologist and declared
free from impurities. There is small
percentage of lime, which will not inter
fere with ice making. Another well, to
be 10 inches in diameter and 200 feet
deep, has been started, of which leo
feet has been dug. This well, It is
estimated, will produce 200 gallons cf
water per minute.
At the next meeting sof the building
and machinery committee in the Metro
politan hotel March 23 M. P. johnson,
chairman, will report the bids ON the
machinery and building, which, Hewitt
says, will together cost close to $780,
900.
1t is the intention of the company
to produce ice as early in the season as
possible Hewitt says the company
will be able to manufacture ice within
60 days after the contracts for the
plant are let. G. Harry Kahn, the archi-
tect, has the plans drawn up. A rail
road siding will be built to the plant.

GERMANS Pound NEWPORT
With 16-INCH HOWITZERS

Paris, March 17.-"The enemy is
again furiously bombarding Nieuport.
this time with 16-inch howitzers, -
says an undated message from the
"Petit Parisien 's' war correspondent,
who adds: "Thirty shells have fallen
in the town making enormous holes and
demolishing several buildings, but no
one was hurt.
"Belgian troops profting by slight
recession of the waters in the district
they occupy, carried two German adj
vanced positions. The first was on the
Kloosterhosk farm near Stuveken
skerke, while the second was line of
trenches on the road from Pervyse to
Schoorbakke.
"Warships and monitors of the al

The Germans replied feebly but none
of their shells took effect. Torpedo
boat destroyers protected the lombard
ing ships, shelling a German subma-
rine which attempted to approach. The
fire against the shore positions was di-
rected by aeroplanes.

Shelter Sought for Refugees

Following the destruction by fire
last evening of the Nursery Home,
Third street and Reels Lane, the
women who have charge of the mainte-
nance of the institution were busy to-
day trying to find shelter for the "A
refugee children inmates until the
new home, which is under construction
on South Cameron street, is complet-
ed, which will be some time in the sum
mer.
The youngsters, after the fire, were
hustled into automobiles and taken to
the Citizens fire engine house, Fourth
street, near Walnut, where they passed
comfortable night despite the strange
quarters and improvised beds. Every
fireman of the company who was in the
building last night tip-toed about so as
not to disturb the rest of the little
ones, but despite that all of the chill
dren were awake at the crack of dawn
clamoring for breakfast. Later in the
morning they were removed to the
Children s Industrial Home, on Allison
Hill, where they will be quartered un-
til other temporary shelter can be OBJ
tanned.
With the destruction of the Nursery
Home there was wiped out a historic
old landmark that for years before the
City extended to its present northern
limits stood as a solitary sentinel in a
wide territory devoid of buildings. The
three-story structure was made of brick
but had frame outer covering. 1t
was erected as family mansion by
Eby Byers, more than rs years ago,
and about As years ago was purchased
by the late David Watts.

It's long way to go,
It's long way to San Francisco,
