STREET BAHLEMILS
TO SETTLE DISPUTE, SO
PIGS ARE CITY'S WARDS
Quarrel Over Porkers Gives
Rise to Numerous Compli
cations City Solicitor
May Act
.
EX-COP UNDER BAIL
The city has six pips on Its hands.
And the manner In which they became
tho legal wnnW of Philadelphia Is some
whnt complicated. In fact It may be nec
essary tn call upon the "City Solicitor to
unravel the tanRle.
The porkers first came Into the HmellRlit
when Sebastian Houncr, of 2d and Oxford
streets, wns nccused ot having unlit pIrs
for sale. On making an Investigation tho
Hoard ot Health found thnt the pigs wero
nil right, but learned that Houncr slaugh
tered pigs without n license. Ho wns
fined $!i by Miiglstrnte Baker.
This, It Is said, brought glee to Philip
Klsesser, who swore out the warrant for
Houner's nrrcst. When tho fine wns Im
posed Houncr happened to remember thnt
ho had been missing a InrRo number of
plRs for the last year. I to said ho knew
persons who saw Klscsser take the pork
eis, and thereupon swore nut a warrant
for Klscsser on the chnrRe or stealing
the pigs. Klscsser claimed that ho only
had one of Houner's pigs, and paid the
sum of $8.W for It.
This was denied by Houncr, nnd he got
.loo Illch, another butcher friend, to take
the pigs from Klsesscr's place and tcmovo
them to the van stables, at 11th nnd
Wharton stieets.
But Joe Illch couldn't manago tho Job
all by himself, nnd he, In turn, suggested
.Too Clcola, an ex-pollccman, to help him.
Policeman Kuhn, of the 4th nnd Snyder
nvcnuo station, went along to see that the
pigs were not kidnapped en route.
Just beforo starting for tho van stable,
Hlch, it Is said, accidentally displayed a
fat rollVof monqy, which was noticed by
nil piesciit. The said toll contained $022.
On reaching the van stnble, Hlch dls
coveicd that ho was much poorer, as the
I oil of money had dlsappeaied. I'ollce
mnn Kuhn urged that the disappearance
bo solved Immediately nnd suggested that
Rouner, Clcola und Hlch go to Magis
trate Baker's oflicc.
There everybody ngrcod to he senrched
and the money wns found in Cicola's coat
pocket. Ho appeared to bo amazed. But
the fact that tho bag In which tho money
rested had disappeared, led tho cop to
bcllevo that Clcola knew more about tho
disappearance of tho money than hu ad
mitted. Clco)a finally suggested that the
bag of money might havo caught on a
button of his coat, and slipped prf, leaving
tho money In his pocket.
Neither the magistrate nor those present
could share Cicola's suggestion, somehow,
nnd ho was held under $1000 bail for a
further hearing.
But that wns not nil.
Tho trouble had barely been disposed
of when Klsasser happened In and re
viewed tho trouble between him nnd
Ilouner. Their charges and counter
chnrges ndded to tho complications.
Houner said he didn't know much nbout
legal talk except to say, "Klsasser knows
ho done me."
Finally, both men nsked If they could
bo excused a few minutes to tnlk In
private. They wont outside. Dull thuds
wero soon henrd, followed by tho ripping
of clothes. Tho Judgo nnd two con
stables ran outside to find tno men in
a death clinch, with fists (lying In all di
rections. By mnklng n. flank movement,
tho Mnglstrato and tho Constables man
aged to scparnto tho combntnnts.
"Wo agreed to givo tho pigs to the
best man," said Ilouner.
But ns both men boro nn equal num
ber of souvenirs ot tho battle, tho "Judgo"
said that ho couldn't decide. Therefore,
it Is up to tho city.

George W. Kelley and Miss

"WANTS HIM PUNISHED"
A dnmngp suit for brench of proml'P
will bo brought by Miss Angelina Wll

Walker Keller, of US South Mth Mreet,
n traveling salesman, who mnrrled Miss
Anna Marie Clanier, of Collegevllle, Pn.,
In Boston two weeks ago, after tho nn
iinunccd weddhiR plans had previously
been canceled by the bride's parents.
This statement Wns made todny by Miss
Wlllietm at her home, 101 South 51st street.
'i don't love him now, nnd I want to
sen him punished," said Miss Wllhelm,
who dertnred It wns she who had pre
vlous prevented the Kelley-Clniuer wed
ding by showing the bible's parents let
teis which Kelley hud written her.
"I did It to save another woman from
wreckhiR her life," she snld. "Now I
Intend to punish him for what ho has
done to me."
"That man could tnlk his wny out of
Hades," she replied when nsked hou, In
her opinion, Kelley explained Ills dlfllcully
Willi lier to his bride. "He's very shrewd.
Ho masquerades as a man of TO when he's
"'. ns a matter ot fnct. Perhaps that
woman Is thinking' that her life with him
will be n dream. It will bo a nightmare.
"The letters ho wrote me will mnko In
teresting leading for a Jury," she con
tinued. "They would have been In tho
hniids of n Juiy betoro now if I had had
time to direct tho suit."
Tho amount that will be asked In the
suit will bo larRe, sho said, but declined
to nnino tho sum, and tho suit will bo
brought ns soon as nil tho evldcnco la col
lected. "Kntrles from hotel registers will bo In
troduced ns evidence," sho added. "Mr.
Kelley'H action In getting married In
splto of my exposure of him shows that
ho evidently Isn't nlarmed or merely
wishes to iissttmo a 'don't care' attitude."
Miss Wilhctm. who Is tall and pretty,
said she met Kelley In Michigan nbout
seven yenrs ago, and that ho promised to
marry her. She camo to this city for bis

BARNES DENIES PLAN

New York Republican Leader
Will Not Tour West for

NEW YORK, Feb. 18. William J.
Baines, New York Hcpiibllcnn leader, will
not conduct In person a Western tour of
nntl-Hoosovelt emissaries to kill oft tho
Roosevelt boom, ho stated positively to
day. Although It had been generally reported
that the Albany chieftain had been picked
by tho Hlllos-Taft-Crnno leaders to act ns
chief executioner ot Roosevelt hopes in
tho West, Haines himself denied the le
ports. Ho added, parenthetically, that ho
was "very busy here." Barnes would not
discuss icports thnt conferences with
Crane nnd Hllles over methods of stifling
tho Roos-evclt and Hughes sentiment kept
his hands full, nnd left no time for n
Western Jaunt.
In sonio quarters, It was stated this aft

make tho Western trip, but had declined.
"GET RICH QUICK" LURE

Most Investors' educations are not com
pleted until thoy have bought gold mine
stock, Mr. .Snyder declnred. But follow
ing tho itiles ho laid down for spotting a
wild-cat scheme would save them a lot
of money, ho said.
"This Is about tho plan they proceed
on," -Mr. Snyder went on. "The prospec
tus, say, shouts about tho big money to
bo made out of a cat farm. Buy a. lot
of cheap laud In Colorado, it might say,
and establish 100,000 cats on tho land.
Now cats will bear about 12 kittens every
year. Kach kitten will sell for B0 cents.
Cross Income right away of $000,000. Now
to feed those cnts we'll set up a rat farm
nearby and stock It with 100.000 rats.
"Rats breed four times as fast na cats,
so there'll bo four rats for ovory cat.
That will mako plenty ot food for the
cats, anil ns tho cats die oft their car
casses can be fed to tho rnts. There will
be n very low overhead. The plant
will bo practically self-maintaining, be
cause each factor will feed upon tho
other. After the business is started tho
furs can bo sold at a great profit."
That is about the plan somo pro
moters follow, Mr. Snyder said. Ho
classified Interest rates und their safety
from S per cent., a safe, certain invest
ment, to 10 per cent , which ho called a
producer of worry nnd sleeplessness.

Frequently we are asked the "secret" of Franco-American quality. But
there is no "secret." Nor have we any monopoly on choice ingredients. Nor
any patent on nature's laws in cooking.
The explanation is simple. Franco-American Soups are "creations," as
individual and personal as tne latest gowns from the ateliers of Paris. Every
step in the preparation of Franco-American Soups is under the direct and
personal supervision of M. Biardot, culinary expert of international renown.
M. Biardot himself tastes each day the soup that has been made and
not a quart of soup is sold which he has not approved.
Personality can be imitated, but not duplicated. Franco-American quality
is exclusive because it represents the genius of one man.
