Claus TO come up the steam pipes, or
however It is that Santa gets about In
these days of furnaces, because yester-
day afternoon Recorder John B. Lander
lined up the boys before him in court,
gazed sternly at them. and said:
you shall not receive any Christmas
presents. You shall not participate in
any of the festivities of Christmas Eve.
and you shall go to bed at 6 80 every
night for month, and each week you
shall report TO me-"
This terrible visitation of the law,
wiping out all hope of bicycles and roller
skates and games that Santa was ex-
pected to bring fell upon the boys be-
cause they had been wicked they had
been so wicked. in fact that Recorder
Lander wouldn't even allow their names
to be published, and so they will remain
a secret within the court. But all of the
boys attend the Sunday school of the st.
Cloud Presbyterian Church. in West
Orange, and a few weeks ago they broke
a window in the school building after
services and took pencils and erasers and
~ rfi
after that they took 81 from teachers
desk. and during the evening church ser
vices week or two ago they put dirt
into the lamps on an automobile which
the Rev. Alfred Leroy Ehman had driven
to the church. And besides that, they
took watch from the instrument board
of the car and fooled with the ma
chinery so the minister could not start
II after the services.
All the people who had been suffering
through the wickedness of the three
boys were In court and told Recorder
Lander Just what had happened. The
boys didn't deny 1t they just said they
didn't intend TO do anything wrong, but
finally they were made to understand
that they had done something that was
very wrong. And then, just before they
were sentenced, they raiSd their right
hands and repeated after the Recorder :
II will see Mr.. Ehman as soon as pos
sible and ask his pardon and forgive
ness. 1 will apologize to the teachers
and will submit TO whatever punishment

And then sentence was pronounced.
and as the three boys left the court
room the oldest of them said:

But the other two didn't make any

$4,000 BAIL JUMPER
BETRAYED HIS FRIEND
Former Ensign Must Stay in

Edgar y. Laferty. formerly an ensign

jumped his bail OF $4,000 after his ar
rest last September FOR an alleged viola

erty got In touch with Aymar Johnson

he waa Innocent Of the charge. Johnson
went On his bail. Laferty disappeared

COURT WILL ENFORCE
SUGAR CONTRACTS
Justice Cohalan Refuses In
junction to Stop Collection
on Letters of Credit.

Twenty-seven merchants, who bought
sugar at % cents pound, must stand
by their contracts calling for payment
of about Sl,100,000. Their petitions for
injunctions to restrain Lamborn & Co,
sugar importers. at 1873 Front street,
from cashing letters Of credit with the
Guaranty Trust Company were denied
yesterday by Supreme Court Justice
Cohalan.
The dealers bought when sugar In
the retail market was selling at %
cents a pound and expected to go
higher. The sugar was to be shipped
by a certain steamship from Java to
Baltimore BY the time the sugar ar
rived at Baltimore the retail price had
dropped considerably and the purchas-
ers refused to keep their contracts.
claiming that the sugar was shipped In
a vessel other than the one specified in
the contracts.
In denying injunctions to prevent the
seller from collecting on letters OF credit
Justice Cohalan said: TT is obvious
that IL buyers can be permitted to can
eel contracts based on custom, can can
eel signed and accepted contracts or
maintain injunctions against cashing
documents against irrevocable letters
OF creuU, WncTe IllTu pHltitS tiic ia
volved, the entire fabric of business
must crumble and fall.
while cancellation may in some de-
gree have obtained in previous years in
some lines of trade. certainly In the
sugar business. where reputation has
heretofore been unknown, new, binding
and most onerous contracts must be
made with refiners. Merchants and I'M
porters are willing to take risks regard
less OF whether the markets are higher
or lower.
ut is a sad commentary on certain OF
the press of the United States, who have
exploited the tendencies of their fellow
townsmen at the expense of bankers,
merchants and importers endeavoring to
do their duty. while markets were ad-
vancing Those clients on declining mar
kets have sought every indecent means,
even to the extent OF threatening through
counsel criminal proceedings under the
Lever act, If sellers endeavored to en-
force their just contracts based on legiti-
mate and exceptionally small measure OF
profit while on advancing markets
these same clients did everything in their
power to ngratiate themselves with sell
ers in order to secure even a small per-
centage of available supplies"
