the Lusitania after four-morths trip in England Dur
ing this trip the cables kept and his interests
in United Cigar Stores were very much increased as the
decision of the Supreme Court dissolved it's connection
with the American Tobacco Co.
In June, 1912, Dow Jones Co. and The Wall

United Cigar Stores Co. The stock was then selling at

SAILORS-SOLDIERS
NEED NOT PEDDLE

Washington, May 3O.-The charge
that disabled soldiers and sailors are
forced To sell banners and buttons
in order to make a living is denied
in a Department OF Labor statement,
which asserts that men engaged in
this practice are frequently civilians
masquerading in uniform or are dis
charged soldiers who do it from choice
and not from necessity.
The Labor Departments denial was
issued following an investigation Of
many complaints with regard to the
impossibility cf getting jobs for sol
diers. The report on the investi@a-
tion shows that button selling is a
lucrative business and that some men
make from SO TO S25 a day at it.
One man, when asked by an iaveeti-
gator if he would like job, laughed
and replied:
"Why should ! work ! made $50
yesterday selling Welcome Home
buttons"
Not a sinple case was found by
the investigators Of a uniformed man
selling anything on the streets be-
cause he was forced TO DO 50 for lack
of employment.

sake Of the world and the safety Of
the future generations.
The true significance of the day
cannot help being more f0rrcfully

Tn the suit of Morris Cohn against Constable Fred Wrinkle, heard at the session of the city court yesterday afternoon, Judge James T. Meskill awarded a verdict for the plaintiff to recover s1 and the possession of goods held by the defendant. It was a replevin action. Sometimes ago Constable Wrinkle attached store owned by Angelo Tucci on Elm street Later the police entered the case ar resting Tucci on a criminal action. Tucci gave a bond for his appearance in court and then proceeded to remove the goods from his store. Constable Wrinkle was apprised of the move, and he placed an attachment on the store. Tucci later forfeited his bond in the police court. Lawyers Klett & filling represented the plaintiff in yesterdays trial.
 The following actions were ordered stricken from the short calendar list: James Kanontas against Emanuyal Mamaris; George Dilbus against Mrs. Josef Mazeika; Jose Rosilowicz against Mary Ulinski.
 The demurrer in the case of Peter Twardus against Peter Kostrewski, was argued by Judge F. B. Hunger ford for the plaintiff and Lawyer P. r. McDonough for the defendant.

MAN SHOT BY COP
 HELD FOR BURGLARY
Salvatore MangiicO ReCoyers
 From Wounds-BondS Of S1,OOO

Probable cause was found this
 morning by Judge James T. Mcskill,
 and Salvatore Mangifico charged with the robbery of Prospcro Franklin s shoe store on East Main street, was
 bound over to the term of superior
 court opening in Hartford on the first
 Tuesday in March. Bonds have been
 fixed at $1,O0O. Attorney Ferdinand
 D'EsOpo of Hartford represented the
 accused
 On January Patrolman John C.
 Stadler shot Mangifico when he at tempted to escape from him Oil East Main street. and the youth was taken to the hospital several hours after
 wards. He was nearly dead from loss of blood. The case was opened early this week but as the counsel for the defense was unable to be here the ease was continued with bonds Of
 $1,0O0. He entered a plea of not guilty this morning and denied the story which he Is said to have told
 the police when placed under arrest
 at the hospital.
 Prospero Franklin the proprietor of
 the store, stated that on the night
 preceding the robbery he locked his
 store little earlier than usual and
 went to his home. At about 3:15 in
 the morning he was notified by the
 police of the robbery, and going to
 his store found the rear window
 opened, the front plate glass broken and a package of his merchandise packed on the floor apparently in readiness to be carried out. Three chisels were found in the rear and a note left on the proprietor's work bench read, "Thaak You, MT. Shoe maker"
 Mangifco told a story of coming to this city to see his aunt. He has not been living with his parents for over
 two years, he having been put out of
 his home by his parents, and as he was out of funds he wanted to see relatives in this city. Upon visiting their former home on East Main street he found that they had moved. Going downstairs he found himself i'll the rear of Shultz's saloon and as there was an open window he entered. He was unable to get far enough into 1 the saloon to sleep, so he tried the shoe store window, with more luck. l According to his statement he had 1 just entered the store when the off, Ger called to him, and before he had a chance to give himself up, he was 1 shot. As the officer continued to shoot at him he leaped through the window i1 the front of the store and made for Summer street, running from that street into Clark street, where he asked some people to allow him to wash his wounds. He was refused admission to the house and continued on his run, being caught about an hour after on Oak street.
 He denied telling Officer Richardson that he intended to steal from the
 store and said that he merely want
 ed a place of refuge from the rain. His attorney, MT. D'Esopo, denied the statement made by Prosecutor klett that the boy was arrested for carry ing a revolver in Hartford and is wanted for burglary ia East Hart 1 ford.
 Mangifico is 19 years of age and 1 lives on Front street, Hartford. His
 parents were in court this morning
 but were unable to furnish a bond for l his release.
