 Wednesday Afternoons

The Consolidated clerks of the city. made up of men working in every de- scription of store, will hold a meeting this evening in Union hall to discuss a proposition whereby it is hoped to get Wednesday afternoons off the year through as well as in July and August
 The clerks feel that they should have a holiday during the week and an attempt will be made to form an orga nization sufficiently strong to en- force their demands. It is said that the closing of the stores at the usual time Monday evenings instead of keeping open until 9:30 is favored by the clerks as a possible alternative to the Wednesday afternoon closing.

YOUTH SI'ANKS GIRL
 FOR TAXING CANDY
Alleged Serious Charges Against
 Appel Do Not MateriaGZe

Louis Appel, son of a local store keeper, was in court but was sub sequently discharged this morning on charge of assaulting a three-year- old girl in his fathers store yester- day. From the story told by the lit tie girls parents it appeared possible that a serious charge might be pre- ferred against the sixtcen-year-o old youth, but further investigation showed him to be innocent of any wrong doing.
 From information the police re- ceived it appeared that on three occa- sions the little girl has visited Appers store and stolen candy from the show case when the clerk was not looking. Yesterday young Appel caught the lit tie girl taking some candy and gave her spanking and sent her home. The enraged father preferred charges which were not substantiated.
