= Gentlemen:-..q@ -, #s.*
Iwish to bring before the public
q matter that l deem very unjust,
aud l believe that only through
publicity will a repetition of the
same treatment that l received st
the hands of the Township Board
of Supervisors be averted.
On Monday, Oct, 27, 1919, l was
served with notice, together with
other pool room managers Of the
village of White Earth, to appear
before the township board of sup.
ervisors. Pursuant to this notice 1
appeared as requested. Theodore
Fl. Beaulieu, chairman of said
township board Of supervisors, ad /
vised us that we would be required
to pay q license of $50 90 for the
privilege of operating our respe
tive pool rooms. One of the .s7
sociate members of the said town.
board demurred and stated that
SIS 90 was su& &cient and the third
member agreed. l then stated to
the said town board that / was
operating my pool room under .
special State license of $500 for
the fiscal year ending June 30th,
1920, together with = township
lic,pse of $1,000 beginning April
3rd, 1919, and ending April 3rd,
1920, and taat this additional
amount was too much unless / was
allowed to operate on Sundays. To.
this the chairman would not accede.
I then pleaded to be allowed to.
opssatesaatilst lstheasxpisaaieasofz ofznay,
present license. This also was re-
fused. / then stated to the said
town board that did not !. believe
this matter was right and that l
was going to lcok into the matter.
The chairman then stated that l
would be required to nay this
license Immediately or he would
cause my place of business to be
closed. l then paid the additional
amount of $1,000, making q total
of $4,000 for the privilege of op
Grating my pool room for q period
of one year 5eeinnire Oct. 9Th,
1919 to Oct. 9th, 1920. This I did
with great d6alof reluctance as
I stated to the said town board
that was afraid to pay the amount
for fear that within a short time
the Board would see fit TO raise the
license again before the expiration
of said license.
Since paying this new license l
have been legally advised that this
action of the town h'ard was with
out authority OF law and that my
original license was sufficient to
protect me until the expiration of
said license. Following are copies
of the two licenses mentioned: "

 Before War

New York, Oct. 14-Erich Hecht, senior member of Hecht, Pfesser &, Co.,, importers and exporters of Der lin, the first German to come into the United States on a passport since America entered the war, arrived a ca liner, declaring that the primary object of his trip is to persuade his pre-War American sweetheart to marry him, and the other object to investigate business conditions in Am erica, thus combining pleasure with business. He said he had left this country in 1912 after having become well acquainted with a 'voung woman well known in New York social circles.' They became betrothed and he went back to Germany. The war came and~he went to the front with an infantry regiment, was wounded and was sent to Berlin and put in the cOmmiSsary department.
 Hecht wrote to the young woman until America got into the fray, when the correspondence ceased. After the aiHllSllcc lie sent uGI d leltef SIylilS that although technically her enemy he loved her as much as ever. She told him to come to America and she would talk the matter over with him.

Merchants to Bid for New Britain Patronage Tomorrow by Special Prices on Articles.

With over 150 local merchants CO., operating, New Britain's third Trade Bargain Day, which comes tomorrow, promises to be the biggest success of the series Stores of every descrip- ton and with articles of all kinds, from building lots to jeWelrY, are taking part in the Trade Day and the sales will be on from z o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the evening.
 The first of the series, carried out under the direction of the Cham ber of Commerce., was known as Dollar Day." and articles were offered for sale at $1 each in local stores Be cause of the fact that the merchant disc handled by many of the mer- chants would not allow of sale at $1, the next sale day was called Bar gain Day." and special prices were offered on all articles. There was a slight objection to this form of day and the Trade Day" is believed to be the best solution. Inducements are to be made to encourage home pur- chasing.

 tai Shooting of Robert Hopkins.

John sat on a bed and Hopkins on a chair near table. Tony ChernauSRy. d younger brother of John, stood near a bureau, where a gun was. According to Hopkins, struck him. Further than this Hop kins can give no coherent account of the happenings of the day. Sergeant Richardson talked with the Hopkins box recently, and in answer to a question whether he knew the ser geant or not, Hopkins answered in the affirmative. but he could not re member his name He also said he knew he was in a strange house (the hospitaD but he could not tell the namC of it either.
