CUMDROP IN COURT
COSTS CHEWER So
KrOtel Threatens to ImprisOn
Offender When He Starts
to Protest.
TWO LAWYERS REMOVED
Attorneys Say They Will Make
Formal Complaint to the
Bar Association.

II wasn't a stick Of gum, but an inno-
cent little gumdrop that Frank Bardon-
mex. photograph dealer. chewed In the
Tombs court room Tuesday. causing his
arrest for disorderly conduct. But Tor
all that. the hearing Of the ease before
Magistrate Krotel yesterday afternoon
yielded q lively half hour. Before all
he legal wreckase wal cleared away two
ttorneys had been ordered from the Mag
strate's presence. the defendant had been
fined S. and threats to lay n report OF
the proceedings before h grievance
committee of the Bar Association had
been made.
Bardonnex, whose place Of business is
at 5403 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn. had
caused the arrest OF Jacob Mandel. who
sells monographs at e46 Bowery. for the
alleged receipt Of stolen goods. After
Mandel had taken the stand yesterday
Magistrate Krotel ordered the complaint
changed to conspiracy. Benjamin c. Rib
nan, 100 Broadway. Bardonnex's lawyer.
objected.
az you don't sit down. I'll put O out
Of the court ROOM" threatened the Magis-
trate.
Ribman persisted and was removed
by Police Lieutenant Connors. The court
could find no conclusive evidence against
Mandel and discharged him. Then Bar
onnex was called TO explain the chewing
incident. Reappeared Lawyer Ribman.
as full Of words as one Of his clients
talking machines.
Captain. remove this man the Mag
~istrate ordered. and Capt. Lee OF the
court squad led Ribman out again.
Then former Assemblyman Samuel
Weinstein offered to represent Bardon-
mex. but the Magistrate objected. Vein
stein started to argue the point.
"Out :" shouted Magistrate Krotel. and
the ,x-legislator disappeared on the arm
of an officer. NJ. Jesse Henry yolun-
teered to act as attorney n was ac-
cepted. Turning to Bardonnex, the
court said
II can hardly blame you for chewing
gum when you have such a silly lawyer"
referring evidently to Ribman. 1T seems
that people have an idea they can chew
gum at ball games, in the theatre and in
the police courts. They don't chew In
church or when they get married. I
consider IL n serious thing for a man to
appear In court Win the idea that he
can face the powers tina, he in such a
di~srespectful mann'g.
Now what were you chewing p" de-
manded the Magistrate after "A pause.
Gum
No. only a eumdrop.' responded the
pho iograph dealer.
"Five dollars" ordered the Judge.
Bardonnex started 10 lift his voice In
protest, but the Magistrate interrupted
10 say that II he uttered another word
he would go to the workhouse for ten
days. Then he ordered the offender to
join the two lawyers.
Ribman and Weinstein said they would
complain to the Bar Association.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 1i.-woman suf-
frage advocates won an important point
In their long iGht to have the Susan b.
Anthony Federal amendment voted on
In Congress to-day when the House
Judiciary Committee reported the meas
ure for consideration without recon-
mendation. A campaign now will be
started to get a special rule to bring
the amendment before the House for
action. probably some time in January.
Both s~uffraGists and anti-suffragists ex-
pressed satisfaction. over to-day's de-
velopment and are confident of victory
on the floor.
Though anxious that the resolution be
reported favorably the suffragists were
pleased because the committee. which
generally was regarded as hopelessly
against thir cause. went as far as It did.
On the other hand their opponents de-
clare an opportunity to have the House
vote on the issue inevitably means a de-
feat for suffrage which will settle the
question nationally for many years.
