A plea of guilty was entered, the accused being fined $7 and costs, a total of $17.04. Shumski was caustically described by Présecu- tor Alling, who asked that a sub- stantial fine be imposed. - He saidi there should be no other treatment for a person, who will take a married ‘Woman, a minor, into a place, be re- sponsible for having liquor served to her and then have results that were disclosed at a previous hearing when Bhumski and Mrs. Mary Dyka, seven- teen years old, were arrainged and convicted for misconduct. Prosecutor Alling, in asking for the nolle in the case of Nelson, said that there were excusable circumstances. He believed that the accused is using every effort to conduct a thoroughly respectable and straight family hotel and that there was no intentional vio- lation of the law on his part. Brown, he said, was directly responsible for the liquor belng served to Shumski and Mrs. Dyka. 2 Shumski Denounced. In arraighing Shumski, Prosecutor Alling said, in his opinion, it is only fair to those liquor dealers who try to observe the letter of the law to make minors also liable to prosecu- tion, when- there are violations. This is the only way, he' said, the illegal sale of liquor to those under age can be brought about. He said that there is'a certain cliqué of -young men, un- der legal age, who seem to take de- light in. visiting various saloons, buy- ing liquor and then creating a dis- turbance. His opinion was that there} should be a substantial, punishmnt for those who place the licefise of “a saloon in jeopardy. In the future, he announced, minors will be held - able in ‘cases coming before him' for prosecution. Shumski and Mrs. Dyka ‘attracted the attention of court attendants fre- quently by their rapt lodks towards each other, their encouraging smiles and attitude of exchafiging’ confl- dences.” The former wasimaich put out when -the fine was imposed and peevishly exclaimed that it was un- fair as he had been once fined for the escapade. Mrs. Dyka soothed him, told him it would be all right and hurried out as the accused waited for someone to appear. and. settle the bill of fine dnd costs. Attorney M. D.. Saxe appeared for Nelson and spoke of the good repu- tation of the hotel under the present management ‘and’ said ,that the ac- cused is doing everything in his pow- er to run a respectable family hotel. Albert Anderson of 33 Dewey street was given ten days in jail for intoxi. cation and a.,harge of breach of the peace was dismissed. Notwithstand- ing the fact that he kept the cell room at headquarters in an uproar last night, he denied that he was in- toxicated -in ‘any way.
