POLICE COURT RAC
■ LARGE SESSION
Large Number Brought Before
the Bar of Justice This Morn
ing—Mostly Drunks.
This morning at 10 o’clock his hon
or, Mayor Rowe, called court to order
and he was greeted by approximately
thirty defendants, most of whom were
charged with imbibing too freely of
that dangerous liquid, the sale of
which has been prohibited by the wise
legislature of our state. Most of the
offenders charged with this offense,
plead guilty and were let off with
the customary assessment of $5
the alternative of ten days free board
at the expense of t!ft» city.
The Christmas season seems to have
been jgreatly celebrated and the de
fendants seemed willing to pay the
penalty cheerfully and from the great
number of drunks, there were quite
few violations of Section 363, better
known as disorderly conduct and after
hearing the evidence in each of these
cases, the mayor proceeded to do his
duty in the great majority, the evi
dence seeming conclusive. His honor
was very lenient, nevertheless and tak
ing into consideration the season, con
ferred several Christmas presents by
letting the offenders off with light
j tfincs. j ^
Several negro rows had occurred
and it seemed that the offenders were
very apt' in the art of using rather un
dignified language. * ■
A case arising in the Manhattan
• Cafe caused considerable attention
and one Will James was given $5 for
being disorderly. - A case was also
tried against Jim Jones and Pete
Brown, both Greeks, who are oonnect-
Sd- Wirh the Manhattan-had been the
witnesses on being asked if there was
any cursing done responded that all
of the talking was done in Greek and
as they could not-understand that lan
guage. they could .not answer the
question. The.case was -then dis-
The eases of Jesse Griffin and Har
ry Wilson, both charged with disor
derly conduct were tried and dismissed
on the grounds of insufficient evi
dence. Adjournment was then taken
until tomorrow at the usual hour and
