BALK AT CAMERAS
IN PEOPLES COURT
First Two Contestants Unite
Against the Common En-
emy, the Movies.

The contestants in the first case to
be tried before the PEOPLES Tribunal Of
the Arbitration Society of America de-
veloped stage fright yesterday afternoon
when confronted by an array of cam
eras in a private room of the Lawyers
Club at 115 Broadway. and for time
it looked as though the case would have
to be cancelled.
There was nearly as much argument
over whether the event would be immor-
talized on the celluloid as about the dol
lars and cents involved in the dispute.
The statement of ex-Judge Moses Cross
man that the appearance of the dis
putants marked an epoch in the his
tory Of Jurisprudence in the common
wealth" failed to stir either Jesse NJ.
Barrymore of Newark or Benjamin H.
Lee of The Bronx.
Judge Grossman's even more fervent
plea-"Gentlemen. the eyes of tho
world are upon you"-was met by a
wan smile on the part of Mr.. Lee and a
faint scowl by Mr.. Barrymore. They
were told that they were entitled to
privacy but were urged to submit to
a Photographic record.
After a debate in which they agreed
they scorned publicity they compro-
missed on having photograph of the
tribunal taken with Alexander Rose,
of Judge Cheeseman's firm. as arbitrator.
in the center and Mr.. Barrymore and
Mr.. Lee sitting on each side with their
backs to the camera and their
faces covered with their hands in a
gesture that Is sometimes interpreted
as indicating deep thought. Both
baked, though, at any suggestion of the
movies.
Thus the tribunal started. Both men
then made their statements to the
arbitrator in an untecnnical manner
Mr.. Rose interpolating a few remarks
to help them state their cases more
clearly.
Mr.. Lee was engaged In a. sheet metal
business individually and at the same
time was partner in the Barrymore
Lee Company, manufacturers, at 5
Cooper Square. The dispute arose over
the amount which Mr.. Lee should pay
for products purchased from his own
partnership. Mr.. Barrymore claiming
that an agreement was reached whereby
the price should be 25 per cent. over
the cost of production. while Mr.. Lee
thought the understanding was that
the goods should be billed at fair
market price" The difference In
opinion amounted to S129.1S. They re-
fused to compromise and Mr.. Rose said
decision would be given this after
noon.

National Cattle
Show In Wilmington
$4,000 in Prizes Offered for Exhibit
Of Herefords at
State Fair

Herefords, the premier range and
feed lot cattle Of the West and the
Corn-Belt, are invading the East.
Six thousand dollars in premiums
will be offered for Hereford Cattle at
the National Hereford Show to be
held September 4-s at Wilmington, in
connection with the Delaware State
Fair.
Announcement of the event has lust
been made by Secretary R. J. Kinzer
of the American Hereford Cattle
Breeders Association. Preparations
are under way for what will perhaps
be the biggest beef cattle show ever
held in the East.
Several herds from the Middle
West, never before seen in Eastern
show rings, will be drawn to Will
mington for the Show. In addition,
the best herds in Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New York and the Virginias will
probably be shown. The large amount
OF prize money offered will attract a
record number of exhibitors.
Much interest is being shown bv
Hereford breeders in preparation for
the Show. The standard classifca-
tlons will be used. Premium lists NAV
be had on application to R. j. Kinzer,
Kansas City, Missouri. Entries close
August 10. The entries will be handled
by the Hereford Association.
Wilmington and the Delaware State
FAIR were selected for the National
Hereford Show because of the in
creasing demand for Hereford cattle
IN the East, and the desire of Eastern
breeders to have a big show close at
home.
New England and the East is win
ming recognition for it's possibilities as
a beef cattle breeding country. Here
fords, the premier range breed of the
West, have demonstrated their adapt-
ability to New England and Eastern
conditions. With the advent of the
National Hereford Show in Whining
ton this fall, it is expected that Here
fords will become increasingly ponu-
lar in this section.

There was the f~aintest rustic by the

Both children stared Mt the clock,
for that was where the sound came
from.
1t was quite dark by this time, ex-

was natural that Jerry and Sally did
not AT first see the little person
perched on the edge of the mantel.
How do you doT asked a tiny
voice. 1t tinkled like a fairy sleigh

Jerry just winked his eyes very fast.

the voice again.

Sally and Jerry laughed.

Snow Fairy politely.
'Oh, yes y beseeched the children.
Up jumped the white little person,
and in the twinkling Of an eye she had
begun. The children never saw such
dancing in their lives. Never!
The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top
Of the clock she whlrled like a crystal
prism. She jumped down and made q
low bow to n china shepherdess, and
then the shepherdess threw away her
crook and danced with the fairy. Away
they went, whlrllng and bobbing and
turning and dipping. They jumped
over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the
air until you could not tell which was
the Snow Fairy and which the china
shepherdess.
Jerry and Sally clapped their hands
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer. They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snow
men.
Then the strangest thing happened.
They could not see the Snow Fairy at
all. She wasn't there, and if you'll
believe me, the china shepherdess was
standing stitlly in her old spot as
though she'd never had a thought of
moving in her life.
Dear me-" said Sally rubbing her
eyes.
Dear me!' said Jerry, rubbing his.
Mother came in soon after that. She
stood smiling down upon them.
Both you children were sound
asleep on your stools when | was In
here before. Do come and have some
thing good to eat. : have a little party
all ready for you"
And Sally and Jerry never said a
word about the Snow Fairy. But they
were as cheerful as cherubs the rest
of the day.
