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.
