Thomas Kwiatkowski was found
guilty of a charge of violating the
state liquor law by a Jury in Court
of General Sessions this morning. His
attorney, Robert Adair asked for an
arrest of judgment and moved for
a new trial. The trial began yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Adair questions the fact that
evidence was produced against his
client as "Jancoski" and that testi-
mony was given against his as
"Jancoski" and not as Kwiatkowski,
under which name he was indicted,
In the case OF Ludwig Radzenow-
ski, who was acquitted OF like

Kwiatkowski testified that the liquor
supposed to have belonged to

exclaiming that this was not the
way the attorney generals office
practiced law. and demanded an
apology from Mr.. Adair
Judge Rice ordered Mr.. Adair to
apologize for his statement. II
apologize" Mr.. Adair told the court,
but simply because I cannot prove
my statement" Such an apollo
gy," declared Mr.. Finger lis as in
sulting as the original statement,
but considering that It came from
Mr.. Adair we Will accept It,"
Detectives Riley and Wallace, who

Lovers of the Beautiful Buy
Out Display at Early
Hour
CHILDREN DANCE
AT AFTERNOON SHOW

Judging from the crowds and the
many articles sold yesterday at the
Flower Market held in Cool Spring
Park. the Children's Summer Camp
the beneficiary of the sale, is con-
slderably better off financially. The
proceeds are not yet definitely
known. however.
While many persons visited in the
market in the morning, by early
afternoon the park which proved an
ideal place for the display of the
market wares, was filled with buyers
and onlookers.
The affair closed shortly after 6
o'clock and It was the regret of many
Wilmingtonians that It could not re-
main open longer. but practically
everything had been sold.
Many flower lovers of the city took
advantage OF the opportunity to buy
plants, roots. bulbs and the splendid
array OF garden assessories.
One of the features of the late
afternoon was the May pole dance
given by the pupils OF Miss Kate
McUafferty. which proved popular
with both old and young. Children
from all parts OF the city patronlzed
tho market in the afternoon, and es-
pecially were attracted by the pony
rides.
Much credit is due to the group OF
women, OF which Mrs. A. Felix du-
Pont was chairman, for giving to
Wilmington its first outdoor Flower
for charity's sake.
The board OF managers Of the
market will meet at $50 O'Clock to-
morrow morning at the home Of
Mrs. DUPONT when the final hnan-
cial reports will be made.

hours before England's last pugilis-

ring for a twenty-round fight with
Georges Carpenter, worlds light
heavyweight champion.
The cheapest seats were filled al
most quickly as the doors were
opened and the reserved sections
were slowly filing by the early ar
rivals.
Every indication pointed TO a ca
pacity house of $4,000 with an over
flow of 5000 or 5000 outside TO get
the first word OF the result.
Lewis was given a great demon
stration when he arrived to weigh
in. His weight was not announced,
but the scales were said to have
set at 100 pounds, and he did not
move the beam. He was fully
clothed. When he stepped from the
