Threaten Youth With
 Prison If He Ever Returns

(Continued from Page 1.) certained that Barky had found a hid- ing place in Stratford.
 Yesterday afternoon Canevari wis., tied the town, and happening upon Barky in the street, he took the pun ishment of Barky into his own hands Barky got the worst of the encounter, to the extent that Canevari. a man of strong physique, escaped without a scratch, while Barky's face was bat tered almost beyond recognition.
 Edward Manchester, a police offic- CT of the town, ended the encounter with his appearance on the scene, at Avon park, and on hearing the story of Canevari. placed Barky under arr rest.
 In the Stratford town hall today. Barky, who spent the night in the town lookup, was arraigned on the charge of assault. Attorney Arthur M. Comley, who appeared in the in terest of Canevari, conferred with Ivan L. Morehouse, the prosecuting attorney of the town court. Judge Howard J. Curtis was not called into the case, the two lawyers coming to an understanding that the ends of justice would be fulfilled if Barky was banished from this section.
 Warehouse gave Barky half an hour to be beyond the precincts of strat- ford, and Comley supplemented the warning with a threat to ---arn the Bridgeport police to arrest Barlky for prosecution of a more serious charge if he should ever appear in this city again. This met with the approval of the outraged parent. and Barky hurrihd out of the court room.
 MT. Comley explained that Cane vari preferred to let the prosecution of Barky' drop, in order to avoid the necessity of bringing his family into the case as witnesses. Comley warm ed Baflky, however, that if he were seen again, in this vicinity, Canevari would press the complaint. and this might mean, Comley added. a long prison term for Barlky.

CLAIM SMALL CHECK IS LEGAL
IOWA FARMER DISCUSSES RE-
CENT CONTROVERSY OVER
LEGALITY OF CHECKS

Below is printed clear stat ment
Of the origin Of the present discussion
Of the old question Of whether or not
it is illegal to issue checks for sums
less than one dollar. The writer is
the well known Clinton, Ia, banker,
Mr.. Ingwerson, who also has the dis
tinction n Of being trained lawyer,
says the st. Cloud Journal-Press. "s,
Mr.. 1ngwersen says: >s+@%@
"To the Editor Of. The Chicago
Banker: In your Iowa banking news
department Of the issue, OF March 219
Of your excellent paper, you have an
article headed Against Law to Write
Checks for Less Than One Dollar,
which I believe il an erroneous state
ment of the, federal law, passed in
1869 to which Mr.. Kane, the assistant
comptroller of the currency, refers to
his letter to Mr.. Simon Cassidy Of the
Central State bank Of ,Des Aoines.
$"Isam quite sure you will find upon
closer investigation that it is not
against the law, and never has been
against the law, to write check for
less than 81. The federal statute to
which reference is made was passed
for the purpose Of prohibiting the cir
culation of scrip and other printed
instruments issued for the purpose of
circulating as money. The federal
government, at that time, was endeav-
oring to educate the people to the use
of postage stamps as a circulating
medium and in order to discourage the
use Of private scrip and instruments
Of that character issued for the pur-
pose of circulating as money, law
was passed prohibiting the circulation
Of small checks as money. A bank
check, however, is merely an order on
bank for the payment of money, not
intended for circulation as money, and
the federal government has never con-
strued it as coming within the prohi.
bition Of the statute passed in 1862.
"several years ago this same ques-
ton had the run of the newspapers
for a time, and the story was repeat
ed and repeated, for several months,
until finally it was announced on the
authority of the federal law depart
ment at Washington, that there is no
law against the issue of checks for
less than 81. While I believe it is
quite proper to discourage the circu-
lation of checks for small amounts,
yet do not think it proper to create
the impression that a person issuing
a checks for an amount less than 81
is violating a law, which the authori-
ties ignore. As matter Of fact, it
is just as lawful to issue check for
$3.50 as to issue a check for 5000,
so long as the check is not issued for
the purpose Of circulating as money,
but retains it's character of an order
on bank for the payment Of speci-
fed amount Of money.
"Trusting, I have made myself
clear and with the hope that you will
pardon me for going into this matter
at such length, I am, Very truly
yours, Ingwersen.
