POLICE DIDN'T
HAVE TO ACT

Alva Foust, one of the military police
stationed in this city, was dismissed by
Judge Churchman in Municipal Court
this morning on a charge of assault and
battery on John j Clark. manager Of a
saloon at No. i06 Market street. Robert
u. Harman represented the defendant
while the prosecution was conducted
by Assistant City Solicitor Malloy.
Foust was alleged 10 have caught
Clark by the<throat and held his night
/ stick over his head i'm a threatening
manner, when Clark requested him "a
remove drunken soldier from in front
OF his place last Friday night The
soldier was endeavoring 10 induce a
Negro to buy him some liquor at the
time, 1t was said
Clark testified that when he saw the
drunken soldier trying to have a Negro
buy him a quart Of whiskey. he asked
toust, who was patrOlling that district
TO remove him Thereupon, the military
police reminded him that "it was none
Of his business" grabbed him by the
throat and threatened him with his
night stick. the witness said. He used
no profane words in his request, Clark
said, but the soldier refused 10 take
,harge OF the drunken soldier.
Charles II Hubbard, Negro, said thai
when he saw Foust raise the club over
Clark's head, he grabbed it. not seeing
the justice Of such an advantage being
taken OF a one-armcd man, Clark hav-
ing but one arm. The military police
took Clark by the throat at the same
time, the witness said
Joseph McEwan. civilian, and a mum.
merely showed Clark aside when the
latter used some improper woi ds in
making his request for the arrest Of
the drunken soldier. Attend TO your
own business or I'll attend to Il for
you." is the remark that they said
Foust made. The defendant did not
choke or threaten Clark with the night
stick. they said.
Foust admitted that he did not in
tend to arrest the soldier. but insisted
that Clark 'interfe~ed WIN him" He
said that he only showed Clark aside
and did not take him by the throat
In announcing his decision, judge
Churchman said that, in the FIST place.
the arrest was Illegal. as Onlcer De
venney, who made the arrest. did not
see the alleged ass .. and that as the
charge is a misdemeanor, a warrant
was necessary. Clark had no right to
make such request Of the military
police, the judge held. and the military
police were not compelled TO recognize
such request Rcrarking on the as
sertion Of Foust to C.ark to mind your
own business or Ill mind it for you"
Judge Churchman said that 10 was q
matter that should be punished by his
officers. He refused to fine the defen-
dant on such a technical assault as he
on Clark
One of the witnesses, as he passed by
Mr.. Nlalloy, after his testimony as 20
what occurred after the ALLEGED assault
had been ruled out made the remark
that 'therell be moe objections
soon" IL was stated. This conduct of
the soldier was brought to his officers
attention.

CANS DIVIDEND PROSPECT
FAVORABLE.

Prospects for a dividend in 1919
are favorable since the strong posi-
ton seems to assure common share
payments under normal conditions.
he falling off in net income in the
year 1913 was only partially attrib-
utable TO the fact that the major
munition contract with the u. S.
government was not adjusted in time
10 have earnings from this source
appear I'm the statement for the pc
riod. Not more than 30 per cent OF
the annual turnover represented the
average war business since the con-
flict abroad started. Inclusion OF the
full figures relative to shell manu-
facture in the 1913 report, would
bring common share earnings up to
from S12 to SIS, against S21.S4 in
1917.
With the gradual decrease in oper-
ating expenses and leSsening or tax
requirements, IL is expected to reach
the point where the management
may start common share payments
without violating it's established pol
icy OF conservatism. Once this &C
tion is taken. the steady character
OF business seems to assure the per-
manence Of the common payments.
