IN MUNICIPAL COURT
Harry Harrington Draws Fine and
Suspended Jail Sentence for Hug
sing 16.Year Old GirI-Not His
First Offense

FIRST OHense
Harry Harrington of this city ap-
peared before Judge Robert A. Cony
of the municipal court Friday morn
ing after passing the. night in Jail
where he was locked up ON the
charge of assault on a young lady
employed in this city. The young
lady in question is in the habit of 60
ing to the Crossett shoe factory each
noon to meet her mother, who is
working there, in order to have
luncheon with her.
According to testimony brought out
at the trial, Harrington met the girl
on a factory stairway where she was
awaiting her mother and seized a
Satchel which she carried, he then
put his arms around her and Rugged
her, at the same time making vile
remarks and insulting proposals. He
did this on at least two different
occasions, but the young lady did
not make complaint to the author
tiles although she had but a casual
| acquaintance with Harrington
through fear of the publicity thai
the case might arouse. She was fin.
ally prevailed upon, however, to have
him arrested.
The chief witnesses for the com
plant were Joe Paquin, who saw the
girl struggling TO get away from
Harrington, and the young lady her
self. Harringtons defense was thai
While he did hug the girl. he did not
make any bad talk or insulting pro-
f, posals.
In view Of the fact that both Judge
Cony and members of the police force
have warned Harrington before fol-
oftenses of a similar nature, although
not SO fragrant, he was found guilty
by the court, was fined $40 and costs
| of 81, and was given so days in Jail
The jail sentence was suspended or
payment of costs. but will be non
effective only during good behavior.

Refuses Check for Half a Million Dollars
Which is Chicago's Share of Six
Months Recei pts
City Contends That Telephone Company Violated Its
Contract When 1t Raised Rates Through
State Utilities

The increase of telephone rates by
the state board of public utilities is
not recognized by the city of Chicago,
the city claiming that the act of the
telephone company was a violation of
it's contract.
A check for $50O,O00, representing
the city's franchise share of six
months receipts of the Illinois Bell
Telephone Company, was handed back
to the company Monday by Deputy
Comptroller Gosselin, acting on ad
vice of Special Assistant Corporation
Counsel Chester E. Cleveland W. J.
Boyd, treasurer of the telephone COM
pany, who brought the money to the
city hall, was instructed to send a
letter to the comptroller rendering
the check and stating the purpose for
which it was paid.
The city now holds uncashed tele-
phone company checks for more than
S1,000,000, representing franchise
payments it has refused to take
owing to the dispute with the tele-
phone company over telephone rates.
The company's franchise specifies
that it must pay the city 8 per cent
of it's gross receipts in return for the
privilege of using city streets, and
also requires the company to submit
to city regulation of rates.
Attorneys for the city contend that
the company violated it's city fran
chise when it went to the state public
utilities commission and secured per-
mission to increase rates above the
city ordinance amounts without Sc
curing the consent of the city. They
advised the city comptroller that the
city would be compounding the al
legged offense if it accepted 3 per cent
of receipts claimed to be illegal.
Gov. Small will be candidate for
reelection in 1924, according to Sen
ator Richard R. Meents, one of the
