A slight difference of opihion between the two | was - sufficient to cause the patriotic iJJpanese to seject the supposed Rus- sian. The first blow delivered by the | little brown man was the rigpal for a dozen other subjects of the Mikado to spring up by magic. H Vainly qid the swarthy son of Italy try to explain himself in the silvery tongue of his native land. Everything he said was interpreted as ending in “sky” or_ ‘“vitch” and this was sufii- cient fur renewed assaults. Despite his efforts to maintain’an equ.libriim | and his dignity as a Romar descend- ant, Soares was ' uncererioniously thrown through a window, taking sash and all with him. Th> erashing of glass attracted t": | attention of Patrolman Hammertcn, who arrived on the scene in the role of “Uncle Sam” and offered his good of- fices in preserving %the peace. Being unable to speak @ither Italian or Jap- amese, Hammerton. was compclled to give up his attempt at dipl- macy and i=rest both t-e proprietor of the place and the supposed Russian. This .morning in the Police Court neither of the belligerents was able to | make Judge Smith, sitting both as me- diator and Judge, understand them and he set the case over until February 4, at which time two interpreters will be on hand to assist the court in seftling the dispute. —_———— CAPTAIN CORCORAN DISMISSES SUIE AGAINST FORMER WIFE | Threatened Trouble Over Their Frank- lin-Street Home Is Amicably Settled Out of Court. .
