THROWN oUToF CAFE;
FOUND WITH LEG BROKEN.
Henry AIIerie of WoonsocEeet Attempt
ed to HeckIe Bartender and Was
Elected With Force.

Captain Joseph Ryan was engaged
Saturday in an investigation of the
circumstances surrounding the man
ner in which Henry Allerie, aged about
so. a resident of Woonsocket, came to
receive a broken leg Friday evening.
Captain Ryan learned that Allerie,
who has been represented to Captain
Ryan as having been in an intoxicated
condition at the time, entered Smiths
cafe on South Main street and started
to create a disturbance. An effort was
made to quiet him, according to the
story told Captain Ryan at the cafe
but he would not be quoted, and start
sleeve out of the employees coat AL
place.
Almost Immediately afterwards he
was noticed lying in the street by peo-
pie who were in the vicinity and was
assisted to the sidewalk. Patrolman
Julius Cordier appeared and DR.. E. F.
Perry was summoned. The physician
found that Allerie had his right leg
broken above the knee and ordered
him removed to the hospital, where the
break was given attention.
After his investigation, Captain
Ryan asked Proprietor Samuel Smith
if he would be responsible for the APP
pearance in court of the employee who
had a part in the election of Allerie,
and that Captain Ryan says Mr.. Smith
agreed to do. Tt is not likely that there
will be any court proceedings in the
case until such time, a number of
weeks hence. as Allerie may he able to
appear in court as a witness.

fact that this old town. without a real

GROWING INTEREST SEEN
IN PAPER CONSERVATION
Delivery Heads in Local Stores
Adopting Plans for Greater
Economy in Wrapping.

| Washington merchants. householders
and others continued today to report
growing interest in the subject of the
conservation of paper, along the lines of
the campaign being waged by The Star.
! This interest was evidenced among the
stores today by reports that superin-
tendents of delivery are taking into their
own hands plans for. saving wrapping
paper, boxes, etc, the too free use OF
which has caused a tremendous amount
of waste to come into the homes of the
city, bringing about an additional eX-
pense to the consumer because of the
fact that the public always pays in some
form or other for everything it gets. even
if it be only an unnecessary quantity of
wrapping paper In many stores the
superintendent are cutting down the sup
ply of paper furnished wrappers.
3. A. Bowles. the president of the
Georgetown Citizens Association, said to-
day that he would appoint within a day
or two a committee of three prominent
Georgetown citizens to investigate the
unnecessary use of wrapping paper. and
to see what they and the citizens asso
citation can do to prevent SO much waste
coming into the homes. SO much waste
from littering the streets and so much
expense to Georgetown merchants.
The committee is to call on George
town merchants, to endeavor to point
out to them the economy of less wrap
ping paper, and will conduct general
ly a campaign of education which is
expected to have it's effect.
Evidently employees in the govern
ment departments have not been i'm
pressed with the necessity of conserv

probation for their services.

viding of from one to two thousand
pairs of socks by the local chapter,
one of each pair to be filled with small
gifts. as suggested by Gen. Pershing.
The chapter asks the contribution of
money for the purchase of these socks,
for the gifts and for the cost ct trans
portation.

more persons went in pursuit of the
fleeing form of the ghost and dozen
or more shots Were fired.
Because of the scare there has beer

in the Methodist Church, and Edmund

for him to keep his store open after
dark because his customers We're afraid
to leave their homes.
At the store of the Potomac supply
Company it was said the man who Wis
tied there yesterday wore khaki trou-
sers and a soldier hat. Persons employ
ed in the store learned he had boosted
of being armed with revolver, razor
and carving knife, and that he hao
made threats.
II certainly hope that something viii
happen to put an end to all this excite

who is so much talked about is a re-
ality.
