Mattingly yesterday expelled an organ grinder, his monkey and musical instrument from the city after the man had been arraigned in Police Court for “playing a handorgan with- out a permit.” Walter Proctor, the defendant, has a Wwife and five children to support. Busi- ness was bad up North, 50 he worked his_way to Washington. Policeman G. J. Helmuth of No. 6 precinct, attracted by the strains of Proctor's organ, as well as a crowd of children, investi- gated and found that Proctor had no official permission to stage his show. “Be at court in the morning,” Proc- tor was told. “What a crime! What a crime!” said Judge Mattingly after reading the charges. “You should have five years for reviving that profession.” “Did he have a monk, officer?” ques- tioned the magistrate. “Yes, sir—full equipment.” Proctor suggested that . he, his monkey and organ might go to Win- chester and pick up a few pennies dur- ing the apple blossom festival. “What time does the train leave?” asked the judge, diving at the idea. “Two o'clock.” “Go! Il take your personal bond.” GATEWAY TO CAMP LETTS IS FORMALLY DEDICATED Recreational Tract of ¥. M. C. A. on Rhode River Is Due to Open June 20.
