: Philadelphia. .March 27. —
Judge Thomas H. Finletter today
issued ati order ousting from of
fice .Mayor Charles H. Kline, of
Pillsburgh.
' The order modifies the .sen
tence imposed on the mayor as
a result ot his conviction on a
j charge of malfeasance in office in
I connection with alleged illegal
letting of city contracts.
I He was sentenced to six nionttis
'in jail and fined j!r..ooO. The
modified order eliminates the
jail term, ousts him from office
and allows the fine to stand.
The order was issued after
counsel tor the mayor had con
ferred with Jiid.ge Finletter and
presented to him a plivsicians'
reporl descriliing Ihe mayor s
physical conditinn.
of “The Star" auticlpated the
convening of the General Ae-
eetmbly and planned to sell as
many boots as possible to its
members. Anyway his advertise
ment announced the following;
"Kennor & Brame having com
mitted to my care the Superln-
tendance ot their Workmen, next
door above Messrs. Haywood and
Cooks’ Store o n Fayetteville
street, expect to have made by
the meeting of the General As
sembly, one hun'dred pair of
fashionable BOOTS, executed In
a faithful manner, which will be
sold on very reasonable terms
for cash—John Holllway."
Cannon H. Shipp, another ad
vertiser, offered ten dollars re
ward for the return of a mare
to him. The mare. It seemed, had
strayed from its owner.
Another interesting book Is
owned by J. E. Nichols, of Wll-
' kesboro. Route 1. It is entitled
"A New Guide To the English
I Tongue" and bears the inscrip-
Ition in the front. “Henry Nichols,
{March 13, 1809,” probably show-
' ing the date Mr. Nichols purchas-
Ied ihe book.
i The spelling is very different
, from present day form,
j The I)ook was printed by .1.
jNeilfon in 1802.
! Three ta.x receiuts owned by
,.Mr, Nichols are worth noting.
One. issued to Thomas Rash, an
I ancestor of the present owner,
on August 15, 1814, shows that

a movement to boycott Jewlah

the releh.
The purpose of this movement
■win be to retaliate against for
eigners who have made protests
based on allegations of anti-seml-
tic outrages in Germany.
Government toleration of Ihe
movement was seen ip a conp>
munlque issued by the Tele-
graphen-Unlon which denied that
the boycott would have official
support but admitted the admln-4
istratlon -would "tolerate these
measures so long as foreign gov
ernments take no steps against
atrocity propaganda.”
(Because ot the interior cen
sorship exercised in Germai^ it
would have been impossible for
the Telegraphen-Unlon to carry
the above communique had the
government opposed It.)
