CLAIM FOR BEER UPHELD.
Court Gives 81 Bottles to Luigi Ceruti,
Once a Boarder at Mrs. Albano's.

Fifty.four bottles of beer seized on the
premises of Mrs. Selma Albano, who had
previously been sentenced to the house OF
correction for selling a part of the same
brew, were ordered returned TO Luigi Ce-
ruti, after a hearing before Magistrate
H. w. Scott in city court Friday alter
noon. Testimony by Ceruti, Mrs. Harry
Mason and Mrs Albano aided in bringing
about this curious situation, as 1t was
claimed bv f. r. Davis, counsel for the
defense. that the beer belonged to Ceruti,
even though Mrs. Albano had violated
the law in handling it. Ceruti, 1t may be
recalled. was the man shot in the elbow
and face by Mrs. Albano's husband last
July. and later he became the defendant
in a $4,000 alienation suit. Ceruti ;
successful bid for the beer was based on
his claim that he was once boarder at
Mrs AIbano's house and that he intended
to return for the brew some day.
Upon the representation of the defense
hat Mrs. AIbano might be able TO pay
fine. the forenoon sentence of from four
10 seven months in the Rutland institu-
tion was stricken off by the judge. and
the case against the woman continued.
II was agreed that she is to escape q
rrison sentence IL she can raise $500
spa and nav the costs. Mrs. Albsno is
expecting to hear from her son in Cali
fornia.

Bennington, Sept. 23-Francis Ketch-

is serving 80 days at Salem, n. Y, for
stealing a horse and buggy, confessed
yesterday to the murder of William
Costello, "a, whose body was found Sat

home. The confession was obtained by
Judge f. c. Bennett, village attorney.
Deputy Sheriffs John Nash and Richard
Foley.
| The Salem authorities after the ar
rest of Ketcham communicated with
Bennington officers. In the telephone
conversation it was mentioned that he
had a revolver. This led the authorities
here to believe that possibly he might
have had something to do with the
shooting of Costello. The officers went
to Salem yesterday afternoon, 20 miles
from here, and after hours of hammering
at Ketcham succeeded in procuring his
admission, the man breaking down.
Ketcham's story was to the effect that
he had been in the village the Saturday
night Costello was shot, visiting the sal
oons. He met Costello, he said, who
was posted and unable to secure liquor

sued, ending by the men agreeing to go
to the lonely spot near the soldiers home
and fight it out There Ketchsm got the
worst of it, and then drew his revolver.
Coming to the village he met Raymond
Elwell with whom he drove into the
east road district On the way Elwell
stopped to 20 into house and Ketch-
am drove on into New York state.

Economy b Flreproof oualI.Iss.

While fireproof qualities and perma-
nence OF materials are items appar.
emily increasing the cost Of the new
house, the home.buiIder win find IN
the end that economy lies in these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain, his house win be as last
ing as It's weakest part.
Hence the ratio between the life OF
different materials should be consid-
cred and permanenee In the walls Of a
building should be duplicated in les
foundations and roof As for instance;
a house Of brick to be consistently
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and slate roof.
The depreciation OF q house Of this
type 10 said to be about i per cent a
year. reckoning It's life to be 100
years.
But the permanency OF materials is
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed TO
last 100 years, though not immune Of
course from the accident OF fire, Is typ.
fled In the numerous frame houses OF
historical interest standing in state
of good preservation throughout the
country.
Among these are the old Gushing
house at Higham, Mass, built In the
early part Of the eighteenth century;
the Wadsworth house in Cambridge,
built In 1873. and the Fairbanks house
in Dedham, probably the oldest house
in America, built about 1896.
White Pine was used extensively IN
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities Of that wood.

How % knnn ! CIV clean.


To make city cleaner and heater
and to substitute beauty for ugliness
Is to enhance the value Of both pub
lie and private property. as to pub
lie property, this work can be easily
controlled. But the city authorities
can be expected TO act only on the In.
sistence Of the general public. I'm
fortunately, however, no matter how
careful city may be about structures
erected on public property, the gen.
eral effect OF street and open places
may be spoiled by ugliness in sur
rounding structures and private prop
erty. Billboards, signs, ugly. garish
or unkempt buildings, buildings out Of
repair, untidy yards and vacant lots
all may counterfeit whatever the city
may do to make public properly at
tractive. The only way to keep the
city neat and to make it look as
though It were really self-respecting
is for all citizens to cooperate in In
sisting on private as well as public
neatness and attention to good design.

FAULT IN CITY PLANNING
Standardization Of Streets Can Be Car
ried to Excess, as California Jour
nalIst Points Out.

One of the greatest fcllies practiced
IN modern bodybuilding. particularly
where the topography Is broken in
character, lies in Standardization OF
streets. more especially regarding the
width, says the Los Angeles Times.
The writer lives on cross street"
that 10, one crossing at right angles q
main thoroughfare - Avenue Sixty
four-that carries at least several
hundred times as much traffic as the
one first noted, yet the widths of the
two are the same The one is three
blocks long, blind" at each end, hay
ing no possibility OF a direct outlet
at either extremity. The other is the
main highway from Los Angeles to
Pasadena by way of Colorado street,
and to Eagle Rock by the same feed
err"
There Is no question but a greater
width is needed on Avenue Sixty-f0ur,
as is the case with scores Of streets
similarly situated. It is equally GER
tain that the crossing streets are
twice as wide as need be. The miser-
able parlxways are but AZ inches vide.
an area so restricted that good street
tree growth is impossible. Every
property owner with whom the writer
has talked on the subject would be
pleased to have several feet on each
side added to the parkway, yet major
ity does not rule, even in Los Angeles
No traffic is seen on such streets ex-
cept the daily routine Of the milk
man, baker and vegetable peddler
Yet the width is the same as that of
the one great highway running
through the district.
The case cited Is used merely be-
cause the writer has intimate personal
acquaintance with It, having resided
on this specific street for ten years,
No personal grievance inspired this
article, for the residents on tho street
have never sought to have Il changed
All concede widening OF parkings,
with a correspondingly narrower
driveway, would make more beaut-
full street, give It a more pleasant as
pect, allow Of fine parkway gardening
etc. But did they know that when the
street is to be paved the cost Of the
useless strips of width In paving
would pay for the change and new
curbs, they might petition the prop
er officials to make such change. As
all streets are OF the same width, and
all at right angles as well. the plan
ming and plating of such districts may
safely be turned over 10 our children
And some Of the latter would be bet
ter than their parents.
