DEER c'ENTED HIS AUTO
Wllamstown Man Now Seeks Dam
ages From County.

Berkshire County Treasurer H. A.
Brewster OF Pittsfield received an un-
usual deer damage claim yesterday
rom George w. Grundy of Williams
town. amounting to $11450. Grundy
laims that while driving his automo-
bile over the Mohawk trail Saturday
returning from the Williams-Amherst
game at Amherst, a deer jumped from
the side of the road and landed on his
radiator, causing damage of the above
amount. He says he was operating
1T a slow rate of speed, but could
not avoid the deer's lunge, and there
fore the county should settle. The
automobile killed the animal. Mr.
Brewster believes the county has no
right to pay such claim. as the law
provides for payment of damages only
where deer damage trees or crops.
The claim will be turned over to the
county commissioners for considera
ton at their December meeting.

sible, the machine slid off the culvert,
there being no rails to guard against
such an accident. Mr.. Hefflon AYERS
that he was pinned beneath his car
and received severe injuries to his

SUNDAY MOVIES IN

High Court Says They Are Not Per.

CASE AFFECTS ALBANY THEATERS
New York Sunday Law Forbds "Hunt-
ing, Fishing, Gaming, Sports, Horse,
Racing Exercises and Shows"

Albany. Nov. 23.-The appellate di-
vision, third department, yesterday in
the test case of Leroy II. Bender. de-
cided by a divided court that moving
picture exhibitions are included in
the prohibition of the penal law relat-
ing to the observance of Sunday.
Bender was arrested Sunday, July
%, 1915, when he opened the Silent
theatre at Sheridan avenue and Lark
street, Albany, to the public for the
purpose of showing moving pictures.
He was discharged on a writ of habeas
corpus granted by Justice Morschau.
ser, who ruled the Sunday law. had
not been violated, because moving pic
ture exhibitions are not shows" in
the meaning OF the law. The arrest
OF Bender was made under section
PAS of the penal law, which provides
as follows "All shooting, hunting
fishing playing, horse racing, gaming
or other public sports. exercises or
shows on the first day OF the week and
all noise disturbing the peace of the
day are prohibited"
Justice Morschauser based his de-
cision on the case of Henleb decided
by the appellate division, second de-
partment, in 1908, in. which the late
Justice Gaynor writing the opinion of
the court held the statute related only
to, out OF door sports or shows and
did not cover an exhibition of moving
pictures within an enclosed building
The opinion of the court was writ
49,. l..
which the other justices concur, ex-
cept Justice John Woodward who dis
sented. Justice Woodward was a
member OF the second department
when the Henleb case was decided
and concurred with Justice Gaynor in
that decision

SHOE PRICES ADVANCE
Further Increase Of 81 Per Pair for
Mems Shoes in Sluht.

Boston, Nov. 21-The rate at which
hides and leather are being chewed up
and the rate at which prices have
been advancing, makes considerably
high prices for shoes seem inevitable,
notwithstanding the large advance
which have already been put into ef-
feet.
What used to be regarded as medi-
um priced shoes have advanced about
81 above the retail prices at which
they used to sell. In other words, a
shoe that could be formerly purchased
at 81 or $3.50 now costs Sc or $3.50,
and shoe that formerly retailed at
$5 a pair now costs 81. 1t would be
no surprise If the consumer few
months hence had to pay 81 more for
the same shoe, because present prices
for materials have not yet been fully
reflected in the price for shoes.
At time of shortage for leather
and all kinds of skins fashion DEGREES
that the tops of women's boots shall
be higher than ever. The extra
amount that is used up in this way is
very large and has served to accentu-
ate the present leather shortage. 1t
is predicted that within three months
the majority OF women's shoes will
have cloth tops as first class boots
made entirely of high-grade leather
will have reached an almost prohibit
tive price.
The continued advance in leather
can have but one result; the increas-
ing use of substitutes where possible.
While 1t is true that nothing has yet
come into general use to take the
place of leather two or three of the
big rubber companies are turning out
a product for soles. But such pro-
ducts have not yet been produced in
great quantity nor do they sell mater
tally cheaper than leather. Innova-
tions also are accepted but slowly. In
shoe uppers there is practically no
equivalent for leather or skins of
some kind.
