Order unanimously modified by excluding from its provisions the defendants, Pearce and Mayer, and by reducing the total fine as to the remaining defendants to the sum of $250, and as so modified' affirmed, with $20 costs and disbursements. Settle order on notice. Present — Glennon, J. P., Dore, Cohn, Callahan and Shientag, JJ.
