BREWERS BEST
MOOSE FIVE

Heurich Brewers were we'll on
their way to sectional recognition
today, following their basketball
victory of yesterday against the
Trenton Mooses, 20 to 2l.
The game, played in the
George Washington University
gymnasium, found the Brewers at
their best, both from a defensive
and offensive standpoint.
An early lead stood the D. C.
lads in good stead. This ad-
vantage was gained in the early
quarter when 10-to-4 margin
was rung up. Throughout the re.
malnder of the contest, very little
trouble was experienced protecting
That margin or adding to it.
Bozle Berger was the big gun.
He not only scored a nice total
of points, but played a bang-up
floor game. Bucky BuScher also
played we'll.
The Rinaldi Tailors were back
home today, but not before giving
the PoliSh-American Five, of Balti.
more, a hard-fought tuSsle at
Baltimore yesterday. The Polish.
Americans won, 35 to 80.
The contest was nip and tuck
throughout. At half time the
Rinaldis trailed only by 16 to IS.
A last-half rally almost snatched
the game out of the fire, but it
fell short by the final two-point
margin.

STORES CONSIDER
CLOSING SCHEDULE
Association to Vote Thursday on
10 Pm. and Sunday Lock-
up Program.

The Food and Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation has under consideration pro-
posal to have its members close their
stores all day Sunday and close also
at 10 pm. week days instead of mid
night.
This was taken up at a meeting of
the Board of Directors last night at
the Hamilton Hotel 1t was decided
to call meeting of the entire men,
bership for Thursday night, Septem-
Der IL, when a vote will be taken by
the members of the association on
both proposals.
The proposals to close all day Sum-
days and at 10 pm. week days will
be subject to certain exceptions, par
ticularly with references to drug stores,
. 1t was explained by S. Lovenbein, Sec
rotary of the association. The food
stores appreciate, he said, that drug
stores have more reason for keeping
their drug business open longer than
the food stores. Something is ex-
pected to be worked out on this point
to be satisfactory to both groups.
Morris Blumenthal is president of
the Food and Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation and former Senator Clarence
G. Dill Of Washington is counsel.

New York, Jan. 11--(UP)-The full significance of the Supreme court hearings on the gold clause struck Wall street today. Traders became apprehensive over possi- bilIty of the gold clause would be upheld and gold stocks. bought bonds with the clause in the ,tf- denture and sold commodities, while foreign exchange traders bought the dollar which advanced.
 Stocks Ito more than 3spoints 3 with volume increasing on the de- cline. The real feature Of the financial markets was the activity in United. States Government issues which was the heaviest since Au- gust.
 Railroads have orifstanding gi- gantic amounts of gold bonds and their stocks and bonds recorded the widest declines.
 Utility companies hold large amounts of the bonds carrying Q gold clause, but the group did relatively better than any other section on the board. Most of the issues were lowed but losses were held to fractions.
 Disappointed Bulls sold the au- tomobile shares with losses in the group ranging to a point. Steels were off point or more despite reports of increasing business.

It will result in the retirement of virtually all of the city's remaining current in : debtedness with the exception of the balance due the Board of Edu- cation which will be paid monthly up to June 30. t

STATE GRANGE Y ENDED SESSION

Bridgeport. Conn, Jan 11-(UP) Enactment of 0 personal income tax to relieve real estate taxation was approved by the Connecticut state Grange which ended It's gold en Jubilee convention last night.

as compared with 1883 collections of $26,053,4 ,460, and some $3,200,- 900 In excess of the estimates un- der the financial program. Ot the collections $20,916,415 was on account of current taxes and $10,749,G93 on account of delin- qucnt taxes. compared with $18.- 211,664 and $7,S41.796, respec. lively, collected in 1893. Current collections cqualIed 68.2 per cent of the 1884 levy and deliquent tax collections equalled 52 IA per cent of such taxes outstanding.
 Because of the improved f. nancial condition of the city due to the exceptionally large depart memnt of revenue and finance and to other factors such as better bus- mess conditions" Director Parncll added, "the total of bonds about 10 be issued is $1 ,5O0, 900 lass than had been originally estimated These conditions. plus retirement of bonds through sinking fund, re- suited in the city's gross debt being reduced by over s5.000.0 900 in 1884 Sale of the bonds will in no way increase the city's debt as all are being issued to replace outstanding temporary obligations.
 %."The bonds about to be offered. as was true of other issues ar- ranged for under the financial program of last Spring, will be is- sued" Director Parnell added, "in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 60 of the pamphlet laws of New Jersey of 1884. The in- terest rate on the $10,500,000 of bonds about to be issued will be governed by the rate on the $3,- o00.-000 to be offered for public sale.
 Issuance of bonds under Chan- ter 60 commits the city to operate on q cash or 'pay-as-you- -go' basis. This factor, plus the marked i'm provemcnt in the condition of the city's credit rating in the invest ment markets"
 Regarding the tax levy for the current year, 1885, Director Par nell said "the savings in the debt service charges resulting from the successful completion of the fi- nnncial program plone should re- suit in lowering of the, tax levy this year, provided the state and County taxes and expenditures for schools and other purposes are nc greater in 1885 than similar ex- pcnditures for 1884"
 The 1884 tax levy was approx imatelv 100000 less than the 1881 lew. The city closed the year with all operating expenses and State and County taxes paid The small carry-over of current bills was moro thnn covered by cash nhand as of December 31.

court opened to-day that he exp pccted to have Osborn in the an- cient witness chair before noon. There Is no doubt in the minds of the prosecution that one man wrote every ransom note. from the one left on the window sill of Baby Lindbergh's nursery on the night of March l, 1882, to the final letter telling Dr John r. Condon how to deliver the ransom.
 These peculiaritics are common to all:

 Jafsie had as complete vindi- cation as any man ever reccived-- from the lips of Colonel Henry C. Breckinridge Lindbcrgh's close friend and lawyer. during his testi- mony, who lived in Jafsie's house during the negotiations.
 Breckenridge corroborated the story of the grand old man of the Bronx in every essential detail, save that he was not present at either of the two nocturnal meet ings between the, doctor and the supposed kidnaper.
 Climax of Testimony
 The climax of his testimony came when Attorney General Da- vid T. Wilentz, raising his voice so that the entire courtroom could hear, asked:
 "Te1l me. did Dr Condon ever suggest or urge that this money should be paid?"
 "He did not" Breckinridge re- piled.
 Q. "Iisn't it q fact that he urged the money shouldn't be paid?"
 A. Except upon c. o. D. de- livery of the child"
 Members of the prosecuting staff were openly jubilant at the open ing of the eighth day of Haupt- mann's trial They scoffed at the threat of mystery witnesses" who may be produced by Reilly to strike down the character or cred ibility of their witnesses-partic- ularly "Jafsie."
 The "woman in gren" at whom Dr Condon started yesterday as she stood in front of him and finally "believed" he recognized, iss Her nina Koern.
