D. Baxe. On July 23 Milk and Food Inspec- tor Dr. Crowley accosted Folk at 5:30 B. m. on Orange street and took a sample of his milk. As a result of the tests made Folk was arrested on July 29 and pleaded not guilty. To- day Dr. Crowley stated that the spe- cific gravity of the milk he sampled was 1025.7, where it should have been at least 1029; the solids were 9.91 when they should not have dropped below 11.75; the solids, not fats, were .1 and should have been at least 8.5; the butter fat was 2.9 and should have been 3.25 and the water fluids everagéd 90.9 and should not have been more than £8.25.

They were arrested in Dud- jack’s hall by Officer Kerin. They were creating a disturbance and were performing a folk dance, necessitating much stamping of feet, when told to stop. They refused and their arrest followed. Frank Dohefty, who was arrested by Officer Herfiserg on Saturday night, was fined §3 for drunkenness. He told the court that "he went-to Char- ter Oak to get ready for the races and after having several drinks he lost bis way. John Conniff, another man arrested for drunkenness, was dis- charged on his promise to behave “in the future. He Had a Bad Dream. In a long harangue Johp, Binbicki, who was.fined $10.afid cofts’for steal- ing $5 from Geofgk 'a fellow boarder, and admitted. the’, theft to Officer Thebdore Johnson, dénied steal- ing the money t@day p.n{!‘.e:plglned his statement to the officer by saying that he had been dreaming that some one put $5 in his pocket and as the dream was so vivid He mentioned it as a fact. He was arrested under his boarding house. Comedy Furnished Today. Today’s police court comedy, how- ever, was furnished by lke Scarlett, of Park street, He was arrested on complaint of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Flenke, who live in Curtin's block and declared that he had used’ abusive language to them both and had tried to drag their baby carriage from the outer hall. Their testimony was cor- roborated by two small boys, Henry Frayne and Stanley Reitz. The two youngsters seemed to remember the vile language used unusually well. Scarlett prefaced his eloquent flow of grammar by saying that the trou- ble all arose because the Flenkes re- fused to keep their baby carriage out of the hall after being requested to do so. Saturday aftrnoon he discovered the carriage and dragged it out. The trouble then resulted. “Chawles Has to Fire Them."” Scarlett seemed to have a particu- lar grudge against Mrs. Flenke and compelled the judge to smile when he shouted that “she makes the bul- lets and her Chawles has to fire them.” He also declared that the Flenkes laugh and jeer at his wife because she scrubs the hallways, but “that's earning an honest dollar any- way,” he added. Denying the use of vile language, Ike said “I wouldn't re- peat it. I'm far superior to those peo- ple. Why, Saturday Flenke offered to take me out in the back yard and trim me. If I was big enough I wouldn't give him a chance to take me out in the yard. I'd take him in the hallway.” When some of these fel- lows get into a blue uniform with brass buttons they think they're more than human.” (Flenke is a trolley car conductor.) What's in a Name? In addition to denying all the char- ges agalnst him, Ike said that he didn’t call Flenke any other names than ‘“Pollock.” *“Why should he get mad if I call him a Pollock? 1 wouldn't get mad if you call me a Johnny Bull even though I am one, so why should he get mad because I called him Pollack?" Wanted Witness Fees? As a final question Prosecutor An- drews asked him if he knew of any reason why the two little boys should appear in court and testify against him if they were not telling the truth. Quick as a flash came the answer: “To get their sixty cents, I suppose.” Ike was fined $5 and costs. ... Moon on Probation, Clifford Moon, who was found guilty of breaking into a Dwight street residence last week, was placed on probation for one year. the bed in MORATORIUM DECREE. “London, Aug. 3.—If "1s regarded here as assured that shortly following the royal decree of Sunday suspend- ing specie payments, another decree declaring a moratorium will be issued.

Meskill in court this morning to answer to the charges of drunkenness, breach of the peace and having more than five grains of possession. She pleaded guilty to the first two counts and was fined $10 and costs. She was found guilty on the third charge and was sentenced to jail for twenty days. Today's trial was a sequel to sensational case of two months ago when Joseph Burke, a local young man who was charged with selling dope, accused Elmer Nash and his wife in the court room of having a quantity of morphine hidden in their tenement. At the time the police seearched the house and when they found nothing Burke's story was dis- credited but he insisted that he was telling the truth and declared that the Nashs must have been wary and hid- den the stuff elsewhere. Today’s developments brought out enough facts to substantiate Burke's story. At 3 a. m. Sunday morning Officers Moore and Kennedy were called o the Nash residence by shouts of mur- der and noises that resemble a young riot. They were refused admittance and were compelled to force an en- trance. They found Mrs, Nash drunk and raving. At the station house she tried to get several packages out of her hand bag before being taken ‘o the cell room and these packages, 1t developed -contained 116 1-2 grains of morphine, William Marsland, a druggist, made an analysis of the drugs and made the above report to the court. Mrs. Nash pleaded guilty to the first two counts against her but on the third she denied all knowledge, pre- morphine in her | ferring to lay the blame on her dead husband. She declared that the dope did not belong to her but said her husband bought it before he died. She also stated that all the bottles of morphine ‘were taken from her hus- band’s pockets after he died and ~she had absolutely nothing to do with them. Mrs. Nash appears to be in a ser- ious condition and the chalky pallor of her countenance brands her at once as a *‘dope flend.” LARGER FIELDS PREDICTED. Grand Rapids, Mich,, Aug. 3.— Larger fields than appeared in Cleve- land and Detroit, were predicted for the third week of grand circuit rac- ing opening here today.

C. PORTER SONS PRAY THAT STRIFE MAY BE AVOIDED but Local Clergymen Steer Clear Of Live [8sugs. At a number of local churches of both Protestant and Catholic denomi- nation the clergymen made special mention yesterday of the great Ku- ropean crisis but in every instance they confined their words either to prayer for the aversion of the world- | wide conflict or a short philosophical statement regarding the terors that a modern war would bring. As the Rev. Charles Coppens, St. Peter’s Catholic church, has both a French and a German cdngregation he refrained from any mention of the approaching crisis yesterday. At St Mary's church the Rev. M. P, Hart prayed for peace and in a few words recalled the awful times during the civil war, impressing upon his con- gregation what a terrible thing war really is. Rev. Dr. J. E. Adams, at the Trin- ity Methodist church, offered prayer for peace and also made a few gen- eral remarks about war. He callad particular attention to the great ce- lamity that a modern war would bring. He said that in the olden times a war was bad enougn but to- day it is thrice as terrible Inasmuch as the destroying submarines sall un- der the sea to attack the foes, the clever aeroplanists sail through the air overhead hurling death dealing bombs on their enemlies beneath and in addition to these things the arma- ment of the land forces ia so much more powerful than formerly that a serious war would be a genuins ca- tastrophe. ‘The German Lutheran pastor, Rev. M.“W..Gaudian, gave a prayer asking for 'universal peace and the Rev. A. C. Theodore Steege, pastor of 8t. Matthew's German church also prayed that the Divine Power may show some way out of the impending war without serious results. Rev. Frederick Keese, with hie strong Ger- | man-Austrian sympathies, made brief mention of the war last night. ther Anthony Diachenko, of the Rus- sian Orthodox Greek Catholle church, made no mention of the crisis but after the services stated that a large number of his young parishioners have signified their inientions of re- turning to fight for their country if they are needed.
