OUMAYTAKEITFOR ; aha - Both branches of the police court were in active operation this week. Judge Mills presided in his usual digni- fied air, without a smile on his face, and who seemed angry because the heat struck his white starched collar and spotless white shirt. Many offend- ers came before him, and in their usual pleas counsel for the unlucky defend- ants were to some extent successful in convincing the court that their clients sely charged.

Ex-Judge Moss carries a crook in his back since he was assaulted by Charles Scott, of Anacosti; The ex-judge is harmless, and I knew the time when the judge would have made _ others carry a hump instead of himself. Judge Scott has become very popu- ar with members of the bar. He is very lenient with unfortunate offenders, and soon realized the fact that a small fine will answer for the same purpose as a large one. The most popular prosecuting officer around the court is that brilliant south- erner James A. Pugh. Mr. Pugh does his duty, and he is a favorite among members of the bar. If a person is guilty, he will prosecute him. If there is no case against the defendant, he will not take up the time of the court.
