Hedge Clipping Goes Up

At a. meeting of the Master Bar-
bers' association held last evening it
was voted to grant the increase
' itsrting next week and raise the
price of hair cuts from 60 to 60
cents. The men sporting whiskers
will also come in for the payment
of their share of the increase. Here-

tofore it cost 30 cents to have one's
whiskers trimmed. but hereafter it
will cost 45 cents. The other prices
will remain the same. A shave will
cost 25 cents as in the past.

g The harbors will now receive $30
per week and a. commission of half
.91 on all receipts over $42 per week.

Albert M. Pohlman. spokesman
for the master harbors stated this
morning that the boss barbers felt
they could not grant the demands of
the barbers and retain the same
Ioale of prices. He said that it was
with great reluctance that they
raised the prices, but if they didn't
the employees would be making
‘Ilotfi than the owners of the shops.
‘ All of tho harbors were back at
Work all over the city this morning.

The increase and the change in the
‘ 1 ie of prices will go into effect
onday morning» .

I’ohlmah's Strategy.

Considerable amusement among
the master barbers and considerable
worriment among the striking bar-
here was caused by Mr. Pohlmqn

lien the strike 11s.: dcridi‘cd M

Evidently Mr. Pohlman had been
tipped off to the fact that the strike
was going to be called about noon.
‘At 11:30 o'clock he took off his
‘white coat and after placing it on
.2: the back of his barber chair donned
his street coat and hat and walked
:out of his shop.

When the strike was declared and
notices was served on the barbers in
the Pohlman chap to put up their
lbols and quit it was discovered that
Mr. Pohlman was among the miss-
Ifig and the barbers could not quit
Work until he returned and notice
of the strike was served on him of
the strike.

‘ Mr. Pohlman ate a hearty dinner.
and gave it plenty of time to digest
,by taking a long walk about the
city. attending to several business
matters. While the rest of the bar-
here in" the city were out on strike
the Poblman barbers contin'ed to

of liquor was being shipped into the
city laDt night. Sergeant Cornelius
Heaney and police frOm the Grand
avenue station swooped down on the
freighter-“City of Taunton" at Belle
dock and confiscated close to ninety
W,..91 real Golden Wedding rye
whiskey valued at over 315.000. and
continued to tho-Sterling Chemical
company of New Haven. The cases
of liquor. labelled “glassware." were
shipped by Fred Hall. Pier’eo. North
river, New York. Arrests are ex-
pcctcd Witltn a short time.

‘Capt. James J. White, of the
Grand Avenue station. received the
tip that the liquor, was being sent
here last night. It was also said that
the consignment was due on the
"City of To'untcn" of the New Eng-
land Transportation line which
piles betweenhere and New York.
With the knowledge that the freight-
er was due. at Belle Dock at 9:80 p.
111.. Capt. White detailed a squad of
men made up of Policemen Maurice
O'Connell. John Brennan. Thomas
O'Donnell. Joseph Delinski and Wil-
liam Dietrlck under Sergeant Henn-
ey to watch the boat.

The officers visited the freighter
as soon as a landing was made and
their attention was attracted to a
huge pile of boxes labelled “glass-
ware." Becoming suspicious of the
contents of the boxes. one was
opened. and inside were found four
cases of Golden Wedding whiskey
The cases each contained 24 pint
bottles of the stuff;

No Permit To Transport.

The billof ladlng was also seized
by. police when it was seen that it
contained no permit to tfinsport the
liquor. The bill of lading revealed
the name of Fred Hall of New. York
who will be sought by police.

The members of the so-celled
Sterling Chemical company are un-
known to police. although it was
thought that this name was merely
coined for theocculon and that no
such company. is in existence. Ef-
forts will be made immediately to
find out who were to be the recipi-
ents of the liquor.

The stuff was taken from the
boat and placed in a. store room of
Belle Dock, pending the arrival of

struck to remove it to a ware-
house, where it will be held until
the case is disposed of by the
courts.

It was also' believed in police
circles that the liquor was not in-
tended forsale. in its present condi-
tion. The liquor would probably be
cut at least two or three times with
grain alcohol allowing a greater
profit to be made. so doing the
flavor ,of real whiskey would be re-
tained. it was claimed. at the some
time allowing for a great deal more
of the stuff to be manufactured.

To Begin—Victims Have Slim Chance

Representatives of the odlce of Deputy Attorney General
Borden H. Mills of New York state and the Department of Justice
were in Norwalk yesterday, investigating the alleged fraudulent
sale of stock in the Dreyer Hat company, now defunct, of this

city.
Toke Company Books.

The representatives inquiged re-
garding the stock activities in this
section. They interviwed Attorney
Jesse T. Dunbar. trustee of the
company and took the books of the
defunct concern back to Albany.
with them.

The sale of stock in the company
was conducted from coast to coast.
Sales were made in New York state.
the middle west and California. Ac-
cording to the many reports coming
in a large force of salesmen must
have been employed in promoting
the sale of the stock.

John Boyd Thacher, mayor of Al-
bany. with law offices at 100 State
street. Albany, is probably respon~
slbie for the start of thp investiga~
tion. He is the attorney for Her-

man Preuhscner. about 70 years of-
age. a labor earning 88 a day. who‘

was induced to ~purchsse 38.000
Work of stock.

In speaking of the matter Mayor
Thacher said:

"My client. Mr. Preuhscner. was
induced through gross fraud. mis-
representation and concealment. to
purchase stock in the company. He
is a. foreigner and cannot read Eng.
llsh understandingly. After he made
his subscription and turned over
some bends to the salesman to con-
vert into cash to pay the subscrip-
tion entirely. as he understood
was notified that the company lucid
two prommery notes totaling 38. 000
signed by him. He placed the mat—
ter in my hands and I haxe been
endeavoring to settle the matter
since.

"The bonds turned over to the

 

salesman represented the life sav-
ings ‘0: my client. a man of some
70 years of age, who is a laborer
earning only $3 per day. It is evi-
dent therefore that he never intel-
ligently and with full knowledge of
all facts. signed promissory notes
in an amount which he cannot and
never will be able to pay.

"The entire stock selling scheme of
the company. taking place as it did,
about four months before going into
bankruptcy, seems to me to have
bein a fraudulent undertaking on
in part of the company and its di-
rectors."

Many Inquiries Here

Jeremiih Dineen of Delamont
menuv. Schenectady. N. Y.. George
F. Law'dley, Main street. South
Boston and William F. Mowatt. As-
dlck. California are all purchasers
of stock in the company who have
written to this city endeavoring to
learn how the company was doing.

Dinecn purchased 30 shares
of preferred and 20 shares of the
common stock. Lawley states that

Ihe received a. letter from the com-

pany; in January saying that a divi-
dend would be paid in the near fu-
ture. The company went into bank—
ruptcy February 4.

Mowatt purchased his stock on
the time payment plan and made
his final pigment on‘ March“ -. after
the company had gone into bank-
.ruim. "

Circulars announcing the $150. 000
stock issue of the company were cir-
culated by the selling agency.

Deputy Attorney General Mills
stated today that there was very
little chance of the purchasers of
stock getting their money back.

 

DUCKINO STOOL

A greased pig and o. ducking stool
are only two of the many items in
the plans of the Rowayton fire de-
partment for another of its new fa-
mous carnivals to be hold some time
in July. Tho exact date has not been
set but all plans are going forward
with the greatest of glee on the part
of the firemen. who are planning to
make the affair historic.

The usual sports will be among
the features. with plenty of oppor-

 

tunity given the carnival patrons to‘

reduce the excess weight taken on

Already the bailyhoo artists and
