Decisions Reserved on One Charge-- Magistrate to Decide the Hay Case On Monday Morning. Magistrate Farrell, in reserving his decision in the case of Mrs. Eliza- beth Clarke vs. John Collins, picture agent, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, which. was theard in police court om Friday morning, said he was led to believe from the evidence submitted in the case of Mrs. Hay against the same man which was heard on Thursday morning, that a misrepresentation had béef made. Whether that would come umdé the criminal code he would announce on Monday morning. It -was one of the longest sessions which has been held _in the police court for many a day. The court, which opened at 10.15 o'clock did uot adjourn until 12.45 o'clock. Mrs. Clarke, who was the first wit- ness called told of an agent of Col- lins calling at her home ean: 1AKIDE an order from pictures. . He pro- duced-a picture in oll and said he woul@ make her pictures the same way. The agent stated the he was offering the pictures for $2.98 for a period of one inonth, but 'after that date they would be $15. She told of giving him the order for three pic- tures but when he returned . that evening gave him an additional or- der, making it four in all. At that THE PICTURE AGENT DAILY BRITISH WHIG. FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1915. . TO FIND A WIFE. Sodthern Jefferson County Man Of- | fers a Reward of $50. Cape Vincent, N.Y., Aug. 20.--A few weeks ago the Eagle published one hundred ejrcular letters for a man living in a small village in the southern portion of the county. The circular is certainly very unigue as well as an appealing literary produc- tidn, and reads as follows: "My Dear Friend :-- Having ducted an unsuccessful private search for a wife for the last year or 80, I have now, decided to enlist the aid of my friends in the quest. Here is my plan: Everyone is requested to send me the names of any marriage- able ladies he may know and I will at once enter into correspondence with them with a view to matrimony, and as soon as the nuptial knot is tied I will pay to the sender of the hame of the lucky contestant $50.00 in cash, } "Ramember the age, race, colér or ereed is no bar to my affections, and the only stipulation is that it must be a female woman. Send in Your list early. Be a sport and take & chance. ' You may be the winner, Rememb.er, that it you do not win you are out ¥nly the price of a two- cent stamp, and if you win you win 60 iron men. And, also remember, that if two or more persons send the same name, the name of the one I choose, I will nat, like so many cheap concerns, divide the rqward, but each one sending the name of the woman I marry will receive the full amount of 60 bones. "Please be con- time she paid him $1. Collins later returned with the proofs which she claimed looked very good. She told thing with the pictures until called to see her as she mears that| the pictures were no good. Collins called her on the 'phone, When he called up to see her with the proofs he carried a beautiful painting of a lady and he stated that Hers would look almost as good. He made her pay him $10.92. He spoke about frames and she told him that the pic- tures would he no good without a frame, and for that reason she gave kim the order for the frames, bring- ing her bill with him up to about $61. She told of paying him $5. on the frames when he took the order. When he returned to the home with the finished pictures he came into the house with them all in cases i and stated that he always liked to hang his own pictures, and for that' reason her daughter got a step-lad- der. He told her to leave the room while he put them on the wall, He then got her to sign her name to a sheet 'of paper, which he read over to her, agreeing to pay the balance of the account during the month 'of August. ; "I thought that everything looked all right, and for that reason I hand- ed him over $12," said the witness. When the father and daughter looked at the pictures they were not pleased with them, and Mrs. Clarke called Collins up to the home for the pur- pose of taking them down off the wall. When off the wall she dis- covered that they were not oil paint-! ings. 3 At this point of the proceedings' Mrs. Clarke produced a picturé of the daughter which Collins had enm- larged, and which 'certamniy was not of the best. + Cross-examined by Mr. Cunning- ham, Mrs. Clarke made no reference to Collins stating that the pictures would be in oil.

German propagandists in the Unig- ed States grow bolder. They now, deem it expedient to imitate the me- thods of their brethren at home and resort openly to the policy of intimi- dation. : Among the most active pro-Ger- man agencies in the States is an in. stitution called The International Bureau of Information, the manager of which is a gentleman of the name of Welngschenk. This bureau is eir- culating through 'the mails tons ot literature. designed to extol the Teu- tonic. cause and discredit that of the entente Allies. Recently it has made the mistake of defending as- sassination. It has glorified the late Muenter, who tried to assassin- ate J. P.
