Herman shied at tho bond guaran teeing his remaining hero six months and also at tho llconso fee. When ho told about not getting nny business, Councilman Copplo said that they might as well let lilm nlono, Hermann's Statement. "I am not a peddler; I nm n mer chant, and I expect to stay hero," declared Mr. Hermann, owner of a tailoring establishment on Front ntreot, nowly opened when hu ap peared before tho Council Inst eve ning nsklug that he not be charged a peddler's license.
