70 ruling YET ON
VISITING VENDORS
Gases Of Six New Haven Men
NOlled in Superior Court

Local authorities were disappoint-
ed yesterday afternoon when States
Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn nolled
charges OF violating the itinerant
vendors act against six New Haven
men who were found guilty In the
local police court and appealed to
superior court. The question of
itinerant vendors Is one the police
are DESTROYS of getting definite rul-
ing on so that n fixed policy of deal
Ing with men desiring to dispose of
their wares in this city can be es-
tahllshed.
The case OF the New Haven men,
Max Kittner Allen and Max Helsant,
Saul and Joseph Bailer and Louis
Neuman furnished the best oppor-
tunity the police have yet had to get
such q ruling, but the action OF the
states attorney In the case prevent
ed It.
Chief william C. Hart of the po-
lice department Is called upon TO
pass on the question of permitting
men to solicit orders about the city,
both by local merchants and by men
desiring to take orders for various
articles. The local merchants insist
that anybody who comes into the
city to sell goods Is providing unfair
competition and should be re-
strained.
In the case OF the six men from
New Haven, their attorney Walter
J. Mccarthy of New Haven alleged
that since the company they repre-
scented was established in the state,
thew were not liable under the tin
Grant vendors act and should not be
prosecuted. The action of States
Attorney Alcorn appears to bear out
this contention, in spite of the de-
cision by Judge william G. Hunger
ford that the men were guilty under
the act.
Evidence was introduced IN the
local police court that the men had
made direct cash sales to customers
and did not follow the usual proce-
dure Of taking orders for articles
and delivering them at a later date.
Judge Hungerford fined each man
$40.
