half dozen banners. One of these,
displayed by an automobile load OF men
in service uniform, read: ITO Con-
gress-You take care of our crippled
soldiers: our morals will take care Of
themselves"

PEACEFUL PICKETING
BY WATERS HALTED
Justice Lydon F0rbids Them
to Parade i'm Front of Ham
mer's Restaurant.
PATRONS WERE ATTACKED
Spirit of Original Injunction
Violated by Strikers,
Court Declares.

Justice Lydon in the Supreme Court
granted an Injunction yesterday re-
straining members OF Walters Union.
Local No. /. from picketing "in any
manner whatsoever" the restaurant in
245 East Fourteenth street. The suit
tor of the restaurant. against Jacob
Baum. treasurer OF the union.
On August 80 the plaintiff obtained an
injunction restraining the members of
the union from resorting to other than
peaceful picketing." Justice Lydon
learned from affidavits that the spirit
of that injunction had been violated and
issued a new injunction which prevents
anybody from parading up and down in
front of Hammers restaurant with
placards stating that there Is strike
going on. The injunction also forbids
union members from approaching or IN
terfering with prospective customers in
any way.
Affidavits show that after Hammer
had found it impracticable to do busi-
ness with the union he decided to oper-
ate under an open shop. Former EN-
ployees of the restaurant, the affidavits
declare, not only frightened away regu-
lar customers by throwing red peppers
In their eyes, but also followed en-
ployees home at night and attacked
them. A temporary bridge has been
constructed in front of the restaurant,
due to subway excavating, and members
OF the union, it was alleged, have taken
advantage OF this fact by crowding on
the bridge and preventing persons from
going in to eat.
In granting the injunction justice
Lydon says:
"The affidavits of the employees show
that the persons doing the picketing In
front OF the premises were the same
persons who laid hands on said en-
ployees and threatened them with in
Jury unless they ceased work.
This certainly Is not peaceful picket
ing, but. on the contrary, Is distinctly
unlawful The plaintiff has an absolute
right to conduct his business as an open
shop and he cannot be forced to employ
members of the union against his VIII.

the barrel and carried 1t into the street

EXPERT AS SAFE OPENER

Two Newark detectives saw Leonard
Hoffman, 10 years old, of 463 South
Fifteenth street, Newark, wandering
about in Jacob street in Newark, yes
terday afternoon and he acted SO sus-
piciously tha, hey took him to head
quarters. Then they sat down to ques-
ton him, and the first question they
asked him was what he did for a liv-
ing.
I'm a burglar" the boy said calmly.
"Of course I live at home with my
mother and father. but never work"
How much of burglar are you?"
one of the detectives asked.
well" the boy said proudly, i've
robbed at least eighty places since |
began eight months or so ago. I'm
sharpshooter with revolver, too. l
shot guy about three months ago."
Where was this?''
"In Fourteenth avenue" said young
Hoffman. II was picking the lock on 3
garage there and two men across the
street yelled at me. l pulled my gun
and let them have il. ! aimed at ono

inch lower down. I think"
Young Hoffman went into details
about his brief but exciting career OF
crime. He gave the addresses OF thir-
ty stores and houses which he said he
had robbed. Most of his burglaries were
small ones. as he only took cash and
clothing but he said that in his list
were included about fifteen garages
from which he stole tools and automc-
biles In which he rode for awhile and
thsn abandoned.
When the detectives asked him how
he got into the stores and garages and
houses he said that he usually picked
the door locks, and TO prove that he
could do this he picked three locks
which the detectives handed to him.
TJe said also that he could open small
safe by manipulating the combination,
AND opened thirty inch safe In Head
quarters within a few minutes. he told
the police that he had opened perhaps
half dozen small house safes. but he
usually had bad luck, because few OF
them ever had any money in them.
Detectives went 10 the boys nouse
and said afterward that in his room
they found six revolvers, all OF them
fully loaded, and one of them heavy
calibred weapon. Young Hoffman
boasted that when he went out on a.
Job" he always carried two revolvers,
and volunteered the information that he
was bad man to interfere with
Il can shoot with either hand he
said. land when l pull down on a man

The police have verified the boys
story TO the extent that they have
learned that robberies occurred at many
places which he said he had robbed, and
they have also learned that Orlin Tay-
Tor OF SO Hunterdon street, Newark, was
shot in the abdomen on Fourteenth ave-
nuo about three months ago. The police
report on tho Taylor case said that he
was shot by an unknown assailant oppo-
site a garage. Taylor was in the hos
ptal for six weeks, and was then sent
home.

places he robbed.

TALK Of BULLISH
PRIVATE ACREAGE
REPORTS INCOTTON
General List Closed Very
Steady, at a Net Advance of
TWenty-Six to Twenty
nine Points on the Day
BY Associated Press

New York, May Am unsettled open
ing was followed by an advance in the
cotton market today, accompanied by
talk of probably bullish private acreage
and crop condition figures during the
next few days. October contracts sold
up from lS.O3c to 13,ssc, and closed at
1850 with the general market closing
very steady at a net advance of 26 to
20 points.
The opening irregularity was due to the
unexpected appearance of June notices
representing $500 bales. About 70 of these
notices were issued against cotton tina.
had been taken upon May contracts yes
terday and the balance was supposed to
be against shipments which had arrived
just too late to be rendered on May. June
liquidation was absorbed on a break to
sec or about 80 points below the price
of July, however, and as soon as it was
seen that the notices had been taken care
of the general market turned steadier.
The weather in the south continued fav
orable leading to expectations of bear
sh weekly report from the weather bu-
reau tomorrow. This failed to cause any
selling of consequence, however, and the
market showed increasing activity and
strength during the early afternoon on
rumors that one of the private crop re-
ports expected in the near future would
Indicate a condition only slightly above
last year and reterate an acreage est!-
mate of about 80 per cent under last
years figures. Western and local inter-
ests were active buyers on the advance
which carried July up from 12.30c to L. 26c
and after opening u points lower to
points higher, the market sold up to a net
advance of 30 to 50 points on active
months. Judging from the talk around
the ring, traders found no fresh incen-
tive in the foreign news Liverpool re-
ported a very dull market with a little
