IN THE POLICE COURT Some of the Exouses Given by Prisoners Today. Not Alf of Them Were Taken—Fines and Imprisonment Dealt Out by the Judge. © When Patrick Moran appeared in the Po- ce Court this morning he was not per- fectly sober, but when Judge Kimball had finished examining him he was in better condition. The cld man was not neatly dressed, and his appearance indicated that he had patronized drinking saloons for several days. He is seventy-one years old, and says he is a pensioner irem Balti- more. “Last nigat,” said Policeman Russell, “the old man was locked up for being drunk, and was released about 6 o'clock this morning. Less than two hours after- ward he was again arrested for being drunk.” “I'm a poér old man,” said Moran, “and, God bless me, I’m poorly fixed. I'm here from Baltimore to get my pension, and this morning 1 had two glasses of beer. Judge, your honor, I’m seventy-one years old, and this is the tirst time I was ever in a watch house.” “Why did you come here?’ the court asked. “Came over to see my sister-in-law. She lives on Kelly avenue, in Georgetown, and her husband is John Thompson.” “But there is no such place as Kelly ave- nue,” the court said to him. “How uid you get there?” “On the cars for five cents,” was the old man’s response. “Perhaps it was Cherry street,” gested the court. ‘That's what it was,” sald the old man; ‘Cherry instead of Kelly.” “And what do you intend to do now?” “God bless me, your honor, if you let me go you'll never again see the likes of me tn court. I'm a poor, old man, and I was never known to harm anybody.” “Who is your sister-!n-law’s husband?” “John Thompson, and tast winter I gave the family two tons of coal out of my pen- sion money.” “I don't believe much of your story,” the judge told the oid man, and remanded him Yor further investigation. William Kirkley was the name given by a big man, who had been arrested as a vagrant, and his face showed a coloring that had resulted from sunshine and whts- ky. “I've never injured anybody,” was his plea. “I came up the river from Glymont, where I had been fishing, and I had taken a drink or two.” “He went in a grocery store yesterday and beeame very much insulted when the grocer and a customer refused to give him money,” said an officer. The dealer was in court to tell of the prisoner's conduct and Judge Kimball toid the latter that begging in this city would not be countenanced. A sentence of thirty days was imposed. On Report. A young man named Charles Schneider was locked up all night because Policeman Vanhorn had arrested him on suspicion of “There had been some loud talking about Kinslow’s saloon,” was the officer's com- plaint, “and I arrested this man because of what I was told. “What you were told,” the judge said, af-| ter hearing his explanation, “constitutes an assault.” “I Know it docs, judge,” the officer said, “but if I had been there earher L would have heard the disorder.” As he had not heard it, his victim was discharged. John Hawkins was in the tolls on sue- picion of having attempted to become fa- miliar with giass jars of milk in front of private houses. He was given thirty days. A young man named Louis Casalegie was in the toils as a vagrant and suspicious person, because he was found opening a door to a bullding In rear of 518 10th street. “I saw him in the alley about 2 0'c ad this morning,” aid the policeman. “He had a key dh opened the dvor leading to the dye works. The officer explained that the prisoner's brother was employed in the dye works, and Louis had probably taken the brother's ey. Louis has been sick for several months, and his brother thinks his mind may have been affected by the sickness. A sentence of thirty days in default of bond was imposed. Other Canes, Clement Farr was in court on a charge of vagrancy, but the charge was nolle prossed and he was released. He was under the in- fluence of liquor last night and was found in a stable asleep. Antonio Banks, an old colored man who contributes to the everyday volleys of pro- fanity in Glick's alley, made a fain effort to convirce the court that he was not pro- fane. His fine was $10 or thirty da: “I'm a eltizen of Mullford, Me said John Curley, “and last night when I was tired I went in a stable and went to sleep.” What right had you in the stable?" was tired, and a colorad man sald it was no harm to sleep there.” ‘And what are you going to do now?" Leave town if you let me go.” “You may go.” Frank Fitzsimmons boys who went o the theater last night, were found ping in the waste box at the printing office. Their personal bonds were taken. and Lucas Stako, —~—. ___ COULD NOT ARBITRATE. The Emergency Hoxpital Controversy Still Unsettled. The special committee to which was re- ferred the resolution pissed by the medical staff of the Emergency Hospital requesting the board of directors of the tnstitution to remove therefrom Dr. James Kerr, the eurgeon-in-chict, held a final meeting yea- | terday afternoon and will report to the boerd at its meeting next Friday. The committee will not mak» any recom- mendations in the premises, as it was created solely for the purpose of bringing about, if possible, an amicable adjustment of the differences existing between Dr. Kerr and the staff. In this it was unsuc- cessful. Several propositions were submit- ted to the parties to the controversy, bu one of them, Dr. Kerr, declined to enter into any agresment whatever. The com- mittee will, therefore, submit a report de- claring its inability to meke peace, and it will then remain for the board of direc- ters to act. It is generally admitted that a resolution will be presented to the board declaring that the office cf surgeon-in-chief is vacant, but whether this will be passed or rot is a serious questicn. Suci a reso- lution would require a vote of two-thirds of the directors to pass It, and as there are thirty-two members of the board twenty- two affirmative votes would be needed. The outcome of the unfortunate affair, therefore, is being awaited with much in- terest. —.—__ Four Battle Ships Insisted On, The opponents of four battle ships sus- tained an overwhelming defeat in the House yesterday on the proposition to ac- cept the Senate amendment to the naval appropriation biil reducing the number to two. Mr. Sayers (Tex.), ex-chairman of the appropriations committee, made the motion, and supported his plea for economy with figures as to the condition of the treasury for the next fiscal year. Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appro- priations committee, ably seconded Mr. Sayers. He appealed to his side of the House, declaring the appropriations of this Congress would mortgage the future rev- erues of the government $100,00),000, and that, inasmuch as the next Congress could rot write a new revenue Dil! on the statute bccks inside of elghteen months, money would have to be borrowed by the incoming republican administration to meet these obligatiors. = These figures, however, did not terrify the House, and, after some pertinent remarks by Mr. Boutelle calling attention to the humiliating spectacle the country would Present in view of the present foreign com- Plications, if poverty were pleaded as a reason for reducing the number of battle skips, and some remarks by Mr. Cummings urging the propriety of standing firm against the Senate,’the House voted 141 to $1 to concur in the Senate amendments. The bill was sent back to conference. ELLE hoo oacticolntntchnlnt hth ited Assignee’s Sale, J. W. Beteler & Son.
