Shott's Ofilce in City Abol ished by Act. ' The establishment of Stnte employ ment agencies leaves at least one mnn In tills city without n Job. Ho Is George U Shott. of 3127 North I3th street, tho deputy )n the Employment Agency In the Department of Public Safety, which Is automatically abolished tomorrow, to gether with about 130 private employ ment agencies In this city. The position, which paid T1200 a year, was created under tho act of the Leg islature of April 25. 190, and comes un der the supervision of the Department of Publlo Safety. The duties of the deputy wero to grant licenses, supervise and Inspect all prlvato agencies, and ad just disputes between the agencies and those who had paid fees to obtain em ployment. . Bhott was Instrumental In breaking up ths practice of supplying strike-breakers from this city In labor disputes In other cities. He also was largely Instrumental In cleaning up the questionable renting ot rooms by some of the agencies. He was appointed as Inspector In 190S, when David T. Smith was the depu'y. In 1912 Smith resigned and Shott was elevated to the position of deputy. Director Drlpps today said It was to be. regretted that the act creating the employment bureaus would throw Shott out of a position, slnco his services had been ot Incalculable benefit to the city and State.

Such was the thought In tho mind of Gardner Cassatt, broker and society man. When he was called ud yesterday by a ? cigar firm in the WIdener Building and informed that some one had given htm a bos of cigars. Thatwns not the thought In Mr. Cas- satt's mind when his Informant told him,' further that, unfortunately, the "same one" had not had the money to pay tor the cigars. The "friend of Mr, Cassatt, Jt seems, had entered the store and ordered two boxes ot cigars. One was to be delivered to Mr. Cassatt at his home, 2U5 Walnut atreet, and was paid for with a J15 check. The other was to be sent collect to It 00m WS, Qirard Trust Building. It was hard on Mr. Cassatt to return the "gift" cigars, but the "Joke" was harder on the cigar firm for they gave H change on the check, which was bad.

ARREST OF PROMINENT H0TELMAN OF LEBANON WORRIES LIQUOR MEN J. Wistnr Sperry, Proprietor of Hotel Stratford, Is Accused of Operating Lascivious Picture Machines WHITE RIBBONERS BUSY iiCBAXOK I'n., Dec. 31. Consternation was thrown Into the camp of the saloon men of Lebanon County by the arrest yesterday of J. Wlstur Sperry, proprietor of the Hotel Stratford, one of tho oldest licensed places In tho Lebanon Vnlley, accused of operating In tho barroom of hla hotel a number of penny-ln-tho-slot machines showing lascivious pictures. Not nnli- nns Soerry nlaccd under arrest and tho machines confiscated by the Antl Snloon League of Lebanon County, but tho announcement was made that this movo Is but one of tho steps Incident to filing a remonstrance against tho renowal ot tho Stratford license nt the nnnual license court to bo held on Thursday, January 13, beforo Judge C. V. Henry, President Judge ot the Lebanon County courts. "With a record of nlno license revoca tions In two years, the Anti-Saloon League Is known to have been quietly conducting a campaign for tho systematic gathorlng of ovldcnco of violations of tho Iirooka high-license law on the part of Lebanon County saloon men, nnd there Is a general feeling of uneasiness being shown on tho part of tho latter as tho day of tho annual License Court ap proaches. Harry J. Schools, attornoy for the Anti Saloon League, has made the stntement that there will be a number of remon strances filed by the tenguo on the strength ot disclosures recorded during the last 12 months, most of which havo been made through tho activities of the nev. H. F. Daugherty, pastor of Trinity United Brethren In Christ Church, and tho nev. T. Chilton Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who, as officials of the league have in person gone into saloons for the purpose ot gntherlng evidence ot violations of the law. This evidence has been tiled away ana oniy posswiy a week before the ifinuat License Court will formal remonstrances, with the various charges of alleged violations, be made a matter of record in the License Court. MANY VIOLATIONS FOUND. The charge is mado that, notwithstand ing the fate of nine law-breaking saloon keepers and the well-known fact that the Anti-Saloon League was continuing Its campaign, some hotelkeepers In this city have shown defiance of tho law, with the result that ttie league has obtained evi dence of many law violations. The action of the league In publishing the names of all signers on liquor license petitions has made It difficult for saloon men to obtain signers, T.-here formerly prominent business and professional men, some men high In church and Sunday school work, thought nothing of affixing their signatures. Notice served pn such signers during the course of the Stough evangelistic campaign last October has had the effect of causing virtually nil of them to refuse to again have their names appear on the liquor applications. ANTI-SALOON WORK FELT, Lebanon County saloonmen no longer deride the efforts of the anti-saloon or ganization which, with Us record of nine straight revocations, has had the effect of depreciating the value of saloon properties as never beforo In tho history of the county. Three of the four city hotels which lost their licenses during the year have been converted Into business places and the owners of hotel properties are for the first time experiencing difficulty in getting tenants. A total of KM applications for licenses are on file with the Clerk of the Court to be considered by Judgo Henry on Jan uary IS. and the prediction has been made that with the close ot the next annual license court tho number of licensed places In Lebapon County will baye been reduced below 100.
