A mother's sobbing plea tcleased n
young sailor who was about te be held
for court today by Mnglstrnte Oswald
en a charge of drugging and robbing nn
acquaintance.
Dcsplte the fact that the complainant
was willing te forge bis statements nt
a previous hearing and refused te make
positive identification of the men he bad
niTCsted, Mnglstrnte Oswald felt that
there was sufficient evidence te held
the young man, until he was moved by
bis weeping mother.
On November 12 Arthur Fisher, 1727
Seuth Ycwdall street, went te a dance
hall nt Thirty-ninth nnd Market streets.
where he met Edward Scott, n sailor
en the United States' steamship Relief,
and Maurlce Starably, 2122 Camac
Rtrcet. Fisher alleged that after the
dance they went te Stambly's home,
where they had much te drink. When
he had the two young men arrested
the next day he charged that they had
doped his liquor and robbed him of a
$50 ring, $47 in cash, nnd given him
a sevcre beating. He positively identi
fied Scott nnd Stambly as the men in
volved. Today Fisher was net ee certain of
the identity of the two men. Moved,
perhaps, by the spectacle of Scott's
mother, who wept bitterly throughout
the hearing, no suucu tunc no nau uc-cn
reimbursed for what he had lest, and
refused te identity the men. u. Ii.
Janeway, chaplain en Scott's ship,
pleaded hard for the boy, speke of an
excellent record for four jears in the
nary, and expressed his doubt that
Scott would have been mixed up in such
a case.
Magistrnte Oswald wns obdurate,
however, until Mrs. Scott cnnic te the
bar of the court. She was weeping se
bitterly that she could net mnke her
self heard. Flnnlly the magistrate told
her that he did net bellcve that any one
really wnntcd the boys te go te court
nnd discharged them both.

IHANKSGIVING DAY in America ter
mene than half a century . an annual
festival appointed by proclamation of
the President, the Governors of the states
and the Mayers of our cities was first
celebrated by the Plymouth Colony in
1621; se te-morrow will be the three
hundredth anniversary of the original
public Thanksgiving Day. The manner
of observance of the day has undergone
little or no change a day of feasting and
social gathering as well as of reverent
thanksgiving.
The nation is called upon te pause in contemplation of the
many blessings bestowed upon us, and this year we have indeed much
te be thankful for. We are living in a land of plenty; and we are
rising slowly but surely out of the disturbing conditions following a
great war. Creps have been bountiful, business is en a firmer foot
ing, and the number of unemployed is decreasing.
Of the many things for which the nation should be thankful
none is of mere profound significance than the conference in Wash
ington looking toward the immediate reduction of armaments and
the eventual abolishing of war.
This Stere has much te be thankful for first of all that we
have held the CONFIDENCE OF THE PUBLIC throughout the try
ing period of higher costs and especially during the past eighteen
months of readjustment of prices and less of profit in many, many
lines of goods.
We have evidence en every hand of the
public's understanding and appreciation of the
fact that OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT and the
quality of goods trustworthy. One significant
proof is the steady increase of NEW
CUSTOMERS. We have opened 894 MORE
charge accounts in the past six months than in
the same period last year and last year was
our greatest year.
The Stere will be closed all day te-morrow.
