Bdgar yesterday consid- ered the cases of three small boys who were arrested by Special Officer French last night, the lads being charged by French with the offense of entering his place adjoining the uni- weristy campus for the purpose of stealing cherries. Professor Moses owns the place, mndf of old had difficulty with mprority girls, who wused his cheary blossoms for decorative pugposes in thelr sorority houses.

He towered high above the three tiny tads arrested by him, and in court their penitence was so evident that Justice Edgar admon- Sahed the boys and let them go. ‘ —————— Taxpayers Are to Meet.
