Raleigh's tired business men are

Prohibition or no prohibition it
seems impossible to keep sensational
liquor trials off the front pages. Over
in ABC Wilson they recently jagged
a hundred or SO alleged bootleggers
in rather spectacular style. In Off

now having a fine time journalistical-
ly over conspiracy trial in which
one witness tells how he had been
accustomed to haul many, many gal

BUSINESS LEVEL
 IN NEW ENGLAND

Boston, July 1.-(UP).-New Eng lands general business activity dur ing May remained at approximately the same level as in April, the monthly review of the Federal Re- serve Bank of Boston said today. Activity in May was considerably higher than in the corresponding month last year. Number of wage earners employed in representative manufacturing establishments in Massachusetts was l2 per cent less than the number reported in April and weekly payrolls were l.7 per cent less in May than in the pre- vious month. These changes were largely of seasonal nature, 1t was explained.
 During each of the first five months of this year the amount ot raw cotton consumed by New Eng land mills on daily average rate exceeded the amount in the corre- spending months last year.
 Boots and shoe production in New England decreased about Il per cent between April and May. Dur ing the first five months of l937, however, shoe production in this dis trict exceeded that of the core, spodig period last year by l5.s per cent.

money advanced are operating out side the usury laws.
 Demurrer Overruled
 Judge McNiff overruled a de- murrer by the Associates Discount Company, which if sustained, would have dismissed the pre- eminent part of the suit, the special defense of Sorriero, as drawn by Attorney Francis Mcdonald. The case is to be heard in September.
 The suit, which may result in a boomerang, was brought originally by the Associates Discount Com pany, having an office in this city against Peter Sorriero, trucker They sought to replevin his truck which they claimed was rightfully theirs by note which was unpaid by Sorriero. The note was advanc- ed by Sorriero for the cash with which to purchase the truck. II was claimed he had made no pay ments. Attorney Michael A. Ciano filed the complaint of the finance company, and represents them in the action.
 Action Answered
 In answer to the replevin action, Attorney Francis Mcdonald, repre- senting Sorriero, refused to give up the truck until bond of double its value had been posted by the f. nance company. At the same time he filed a special defense to the finance company's suit, alleging that they were engaging in conspiracy to defraud note signers. It was against this defense that the finance company unsuccessfully demurred. Had they been sustained, the spe- cial defense would have been dis missed
 The special defense as drawn by Attorney Mcdonald claims that Sorriero was to have paid $149 for the use of $430 over a period of ls months, or more than 30 per cent interest. The automobile company in the deal was the Cooley Chevro- let Company of New Haven, and of this action, the special defense says.
 The conduct of the Cooley Chev- rolet Company and the Associates Discount Company constituted a conspiracy to charge annual inter- est in excess of 12 per cent and was fraud on the defendant pur- chaser"
 Special Defense
 It was stated in the overruled de- murrer that the special defense was only allegations of property sold on credit at an advance over the cash price, and that 1t did not consti- ute a defense. It further stated that to alleged collateral issued would require a separate trial.
 Judge McNiff cited previous case heard in which the issues had been decided for a finance com pany, saying, however, Tn the pres- ent case 1t cannot be- held as a mat. ter of law that good faith and the absence of intentions to evade the usury laws existed"
 After hearing in September the case will undoubtedly go to the su- preme court of errors. A decision for Sorriero would revolutionize the present set up in the finance com pany business.

 Praise For Ryan
 Considerable praise was given MT. Ryan who campaigned through out the session of the legislature for the passage of the stand up drinking at the bars in hotels, restaurants and clubs as well as for the passage of the Fair Trade Act.
 The banquet which was on basis of victory dinner for Ryan since it was Ryan who originally pro- posed allowing men to stand at the bars in hotels, restaurants, clubs and taverns, but prohibiting women from doing So Women under the new law are not allowed at any bar except in clubs.
 "The greatest victory of any or ganiZed group was won by Edward Ryan your legislative agent at the Connecticut legislature and it was through his efficient work at the state capital that today you are al- lowed to serve men at the bars in your establishments. He and he alone is responsible for the passage of that piece of legislation and to- day we can thank MT. Ryan for giving us one of the best liquor con- trol acts in the entire country. While there are still other pieces of legislation which we will strvie to secure in the future it was MT. Ryan who secured the enactment of the most important legislat tion leavng us to obtain legislation of a much more unimportant nature. |" MT. Jacobs told the gathering.
 Resigns Position
 MT. Ryan will relinquish his con- nections with the liquor lobby the first of August to take a new and much more important position.
 The gathering gave MT. Ryan a vote of thanks and appreciation for the fine work he has done in their behalf and presented him with a substantial gift.

over late in the afternoon and that her husband would then be disengaged and l should meet him.
 If you, reader, had happened to be alive that afternoon sixty years ago, and had also happened to be on certain road leading into Chester, Vermont you might have seen a handsome chestnut horse and phaeton halted on the roadside and a young lady of 23 and a youth of l9 busily engaged in wiping the foam of the horse with their pocket handkerchiefs and punches of leaves and grass.
 And If you had been near enough to hear the remarks the young lady made to the horse 1 have no doubt you would have been amused.
 Whatever possessed you to go and get yourself all loaned up like this? What do you mean by 1t? Look me straight in the eye and tell me that. Anybody would think that you'd been shamefully abused-and you know perfectly well that we've been good to you and stuffed you with sugar and apples-and let you take your own gait-and never said a cross word or shook the whip at you. Why, the liveryman and all the people will think we've been driving you up and down hill like race horse"
 Perhaps we gave him too much sugar and apples" the youth sug- gested.
 70 I don't think so" replied the young lady, stroking the horses forehead. Your head doesn't feel hot. Does your your stomach ache? I don't know how to take your pulse or would"
 All the while the horse appeared to be enjoying the situation and watched her every movement with admiring eyes.
 It is needless to say that there were no -buggies' with screeching horns on that road that day, nor on any other road on earth. And there were no telephone wires strung along the highways; but there were tele- graph poles and wires along the railroad tracks the same as now adays. Occasionally a 'velocipede' wheeled by carrying husky country school-boy with books or other packages strapped on be- hind, but don't recall seeing any girls on a bike at that period; though by the early nineties the wheel was all the rage with girls and women the same as with the men-folks.
 Our horse was in quite present. able appearance when we drove him into the stable that after noon, and Miss Woodward set the liveryman roaring with her live. ly description of the drying and cleaning" episode by the roadside, He chucked the horse in the ribs and slapped him on the neck in a chummy manner and charged him with being a regular rogue. And the horse shook his head up and down as much as to admit it-- and continued watching Miss Woodward till she was out of sight. ~
