THE POLICEMAN's CLUB AGAIN.
An Arrest at a Picnic-Beer for the
Bobby.

Charles c. Newman, German citizen. who
attended picnic at Beckcr's Garden Monday,
was called upon in the Police Court today to
answer charges of dIsorderly conduct and
assault and battery. Policeman Cutler of the
ninth precinct was complainant in both cases,
and he told Of the arrest in the picnic garden.
The print of the officers club was near Mr..
Newmans eye.
The policeman claimed that he used his club
to prevent the citizen from injuring him.
Lawyer Gloss, for the defendant, questioned the
policeman and among the questions he asked
the blue-coated guardian Of the peace was
whether he drank any beer at the pic
mic. The officer answered in the
negative, but another witness testified that he
treated the officer to two lemonade glasses of
beer and the waiter was present to say that he
served the beer.
Mr.. Gloss argued that his client, like all
other persons at a picnic. might have talked
loud in his enjoyment OF the festivities, but
that he violated no law. He also argued that
the proof showed that the officer was unworthy
of belief.
The court acquitted Mr.. Newman Of both
charges

Employees at the Capitol Who Object to

There will be strike in the Senate wing OF
the Capitol ere long unless present conditions
change materially and suddenly. The disturb
ance will not assume the magnitude Of thGt
struggle now going on between the New York
Central and its switchmen and freight han
dlers, but it will probably revolutionize social
conditions in the Legislative center OF the
country. Among the many people on the pay

THE COLIMA IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The Guatemalans Broke Their Word
and Then Laughed.

SAN FRAScIsco, CAL., August 2l.-Pacifc
mail steamer Colima, which carried consign-
ment Of fire arms, which were seized by the
Guatemala soldiers, arrived here yesterday.
Her officers say the seized arms consisted Of
twenty-five cases Of Winchester rifles and
twenty-five cases of cartridges con-
signed TO AGA Jutta, Salvador. When the
steamer arrived at San Jose the Guatemalan
forces boarded her and threatened if the arms
were not given up the steamer would not be
allowed to sail. a compromise was effected by
which the arms were to be put in lighter and
transferred to the steamer City Of Sydney to be
returned to the shippers at San Francisco
As soon as the arms had been put on board
the lighter an armed Guatemalan crew came
off in a boat and made a formal seizure OF the
lighter and its contents. The officers pro-
tested against this breach OF faith, but the
Gua.emalans only laughed at them.
