SNEAK THIEF GETS BIG BAKERS FACE
S5O,0OO IN GEMS S72,4O0 IN FINES
Hartigan's Inspectors Buy
724 Short Weight
LOaVeS.

The courts will be asked to impose
penalties of s72, 400 on bakers in New
York City who in the last forty-eight
hours sold 724 loaves OF bread found
to be from one to two ounces short
in weight.
The bread was sold 70 inspectors
working under the direction OF
Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner of
Weights and Measures, who yesterday
filed the evidence gathered by his
men with the Corporation Counsel.
The bakers involved are for the most
part big wholesale dealers VINO sell
through grocers and delicatessen
stores.
beginning Monday morning, how
ever" said Mr. Hartigan last night,
Eve will hale before the magistrates
Of this city all bakers, grocers and
others who sell short-weight loaves
and ask for punishment of the of
tenders under Section 24l1 of the
Penal Code. which makes it a misde-
meanor punishable by fine or imprs-
Onment, or both, for any one know
ingly to deliver less than the guam
tity represented"
To Proceed Against Officers.
Mr. Hartigsn said he had no inten-
tion Of stopping with the arrests of
employees of the big baking companies,
but would go right on after the Off
GERS and directors OF the baking COM
psnies.
IL can show that these bakers, es-
pecially the big ones who sell through
small stores, up TO ten days ago sold
twelve ounces Of bread in a contain
er marked twelve ounces said Com
missioner Hartigsn. 81 can also show
that in the last four or five days they
have continued using these wrappers
on which is printed twelve ounces"
on bread that weighed from 10h TO
1lL ounces. believe these bakers
sought to take advantage of the regu.
lation which allows a shrinkage Of 10
per cent in bread under the marked
weight. But. assuming that this regu-
laton supersedes the city ordinance
or the Penal Code, we have found
hundreds OF cases where the differ
ence in weight has been greater than
the 10 per cent"
Expects Courts to Cooperate.
Mr.. Hartigan believes that the magis-
trates and the civil courts will CO.
operate in the attempt TO keep down
the price Of bread, which costs much
more in New York City than in Eng
land or Germany, where it may be had
for fraction over four cents pound.
"The suits against bakers for the
sale of the short-weight loaves these
last two days" said Mr.. Hartigan, will
be brought under Section l3 of the city
ordinances, which forbids short weigh
ing, and provides that a penalty Of
500 for each offence shall be recov-
cred through civil action. to be brought
by the Corporation Counsel"
Four hundred OF the ight
loaves were purchased yesterday and
3e4 on Friday. The bread was botght
in every section Of the city. Yesterday
its purveyors were served with copies
of the violation by Commissioner
Hartigan's inspectors. One big baking
concern began TO print the true weight

GLANOR TAKEN
AWAY FROM WAR
Pictures Taken in Action
and in Hospitals Have
Gruesome Reality.

War is stripped OF all its gay
pIumage and glamOr and is shown IN
its grizzly horror in the German war
pictures now being shown at the Texas
Grand theater. These are the best NOV
ing pictures yet shown in FL Paso OF
the European war and snow Dattie
action on the eastern and western
fronts from the Austro-German side of
the line
The pictures were made by the star
photographer of the Chicago Tribune,
who took some long chances ana got
action pictures OF German ana austrian
troops charging across open telds. ma
chine guns being set up and IN ACTON
and the big guns OF the German and
Austrian armies being fired and the
awful havoc wrought by these high
powered guns on the forts of the east
ern front The work Of the AustrO-
German machine gun corps and the
operation of these big field pieces are
among the most interesting features OF
the films. The machine gun corps is
shown creeping across grass COW
cred incline under fire; are seen setting
up their machine guns and then pour
ing the rain Of death into the Russian
lines like garden hose spraying lawn
Another remarkable view is that of
the German first line fighting without
trenches or cover Men may be seen
rolling over wounded and others
craving to the rear for treatment
while a first aid bandage is applied
by one German soldier to his comrade
on the firing line
The hospital scenes strip war of its
picturesqueness and the wounds OF the
soldiers are shown IN all Of their grim
reality. Men are shown learning to
walk on two stumps Of legs with the
aid of false limbs and canes. A volun-
teer nurse is seen massaging the stump
Of an Austrian soldiers arm and
wounded soldiers are shown being
brought in from the front, given
dressings in the hospitals and blind

Gov. Hunt Issues Statement
Denying Detroit Company
Made the Offer.

Phoenix. Ariz-, Jan Whether the
Detroit Copper company did or did not
offer the strikers IS day to do assess
ment work on its unpatented claims at
Morenci, is still subject OF lively con-
troversy here Gov Hunt is out with
an official statement denying that the
offer was made. He seems 10 base his
denial on letter from sheriff James

Sheriff Cash-s letter advised me
that from all the Information he had
he feels reasonably sure that every
statement in Mr.. McLean's wire Gin
which the manager OF the Detroit COM
pany informed Hunt that the strikers
had refused his IS Offer is untrue,

Another Illuminating fact contained
in sheriff Cash's letter is that the De-
troit Copper company's imported work
men from Duncan were searched BY
two Of his deputies after their arrival
in Morenci for the alleged peaceful
purpose of performing assessment
work. and from them were taken IS

peace officers had been preventing dis

manager McLean's action as being
other than indiscreet and decidedly
provocative of trouble, rather than
well intentioned"
Says Offer Was $3.50.
H s. McCluskey, organizer Of the Mi
ami local of the Western Federation
of Miners, says that the Detroit COM
pany made the strikers an offer that
they do assessment work for a certain
sum. The strikers estimated that the
offer meant a daily wage Of only $3.50
for each one of their number employed
in doing the work, and declined.
