CLAIMS SHORT WEIGHT FROM STREET PEDDLER vBuyer Also Says License In spector Refused to 'Test Measure to Ascertain Fraud. J. E. Rickerett, 2124 Davenport street, claims that after his family had been cheated out of three and one-half pounds in weight on two pecks of potatoes last Monday by two peddlers, who had no license on " their wagon, he called the police station and was referred to the weights and measures office in the city hall. They referred him to the license inspector, Samuel Fried, who came out to his house and allowed the peddlers to go free after refus ing to be shown that Rickerett had been swindled, he says. The peddlers claimed that their li cense was on another wagon, which they had deft at home. Mr. Rick erett says the peck sold to his wife was two pounds short and the one sold his daughter was one and a half pounds short. "I had my boy follow the peddlers until Mr. Fried came out," said RickerMt. "When he approached the men, they spoke to him as if they had known him all their lives. I test my scales nearly every week, and know they arc correct. When Fried refused to go to my house and be shown that I had been cheated, I walked off. If a peddler can say that his license is home on another , wagon whenever he is stopped, he can have all the wagons he wants out on the streets with out licenses." License Inspector Fried says Rickerett did not offer to take him to his house to weigh the potatoes or he would have gone and seen to it that he received the correct weight.
