Endlcott, N. Y., Feb. 14.—If the common council grants a petition re ceived by officials today, one will have to stop talking about one's neighbors—or go to jail—for the peti tion asks that the aldermen enact an ordinance similar to one which is working out successfully In several other cities, making It a misde meanor to gossip. The petition, signed by "A Group of E. J.
