ECHOES OF THE X. X. X.

Thomas Pedrick was arrested on
tuesday on a charge of d~isorderlv
conduct, sworn to by Charles Toms.
and at a hearing before ESQUIRE Stan
ton b. Cole was fined $40 and cost.
Pedrlck last week found a letter in
ms letter box, at 6 West Pitman
Street, signed K. K. K, in which he
was told to beware unless he treated
his family better. Pedrick, who is a
single man, says he pays his board
regular to his mother, who is married
and is supported by her husband, and
could elucidate no reasons for such a
letter.
William Simmons, a boarder at the
home of Eddie O'Day, delivered the
*" missive to Pedrick at Plant /.
Pedr1ck took the letter to Nh. Gentieu.
who turned it, with the principles, over
to Mayor Kidd, as the transaction
took place in the Borough.
After Marshal w. c. Moore had re-
ported his Investigations to the
Mayor, he ordered the release of
Simmons who, however, was discharg-
ed from his employment at the plant.
Pedrlck was suspicious that Toms
was guilty of sending the letter, so
proceeded to chastise him. The word
Simmons sounds rather Klanish and
it may be interesting to know that
Mrs. Simmons, who is estranged from
her husband while working in Dare
town last summer, received a similar
letter signed K. K. K. and advising
her not to come here any more. Sew
eral prominent men of the commu-
nifty have recently received what is
; thought to be fake X. K. K. letters.

Harbingers OF Spring

Doc Dolbow has got his nef,
And he won't let US forget.
He tells US of it every time we meet.
He talks about his Irvine;
He talks of fishing time.
He talks about it when he's fast
asleep.
There's David Stanton, too,
He's got a can of glue,
And is fixing the bottom of his tub.
We find him in his place
With a smile upon his face;
He's hoping that the ason will be
good.
Eddie Diver takes off his coat
To launch his fathers boat,
And everything is ready for a start.
You bet all will be glad
When they bring home a load of shad.
If they don't bring shad they are sure
to bring some carp.-Mollie.

taste to have the teaspoons placed In

there was very good reason why II

they will be most convenient when the
table is set just before each meal.
For the simple dinner II Is possible
correctly to place all the silver on the
table for the entire meal, save posi-.
bly, the small coffee spoons, IL that bev.
erage is served after the dessert. For
a longer. more elaborate dinner, only

II is a general rule that forks are
placed to the left Of the plate, with the

new BOND RULES
TO Be REQUESTED
Bondsmen Will Go Before
Judges to Ask Reconsidera-
ton of Several Points.

Bondsmen who have been restrained
from supplying bonds beyond an
amount double the assessed value OF
their property will seek a modifica-
ton Of the new bonding regulations.
1t was learned last night.
What form the request for modi-
fications will take and exactly what
notifications will be asked has not yet
been decided but 1t is regarded as
probable that a petition will be drawn
up by bondsmen requesting reconsid-
Grafton of the item in the new rule,
which limits the liabilities.
1t was made clear that bondsmen
desire to enter into no controversy
on the case. but spokesman for the
professional bondsmen last night de-
clared II was their belief that the
rulings will work hardships In many
quarters especially on reputable
citizens inadvertently in the class of
temporary prisoners.
The chief basis for complaint, II
was stated. is that the new regula-
tions preclude any business for
bondsmen for at least a year in most
cases.
1t was pointed out in addition that
has been the basis for liability of
bondsmen under the new rule. in
stead of expert estimates of the mar
ket price of the property. is lower
than actual value. This gives addi-
tional curtailment to the amount Of
bonds a bondsman may write. since
IL he holds property with a market
value OF $4,000 the tax assessors
books are liable to contain mark
of only $4,000 assessed value.
This means that whereas, under the
old rule. he had a $4,000 limit for
underwriting bonds. under the new
rules. the limit would be only 100000.
~ per cent.
Another point which the bondsme n
are expected to bring up for re-
quested reconsideration Is the ruling
that bonds cannot be placed after IL
O'Clock at night.
