THE WAR ON POLICY.
Good Effects Resulting From the Giving Of
Jail Sentences.


Tho firm stand taken by the courts against
! the policy business has not only reduced the
number of writer's for the firms. but it has also
changed the character of the persons engaged
by the firms to operate in this city. For sew
eral years the writing was done exclusively by
men and afterward d small per cent Of the
writer's were women From time 70 time
| these men and women were captured in raids
and taken TO court, where, as rule, they were
permitted 70 forfeit an amount Of money that
made the payment operate more as license
than penalty. The raids and arrests became
more frequent until iega! point was raised by
counsel for the policy people which hung fire in
the upper court SO long. The cases accumulated
until their number was large enough to occupy
| several weeks Of the time Of the court.
Finally the decision Was rendered. and from
that time the judges of the Police and Criminal
Courts made up their minds 10 do their share
in breaking NJ the business il such were posi-
BILE. and not impose such penalties as the COM
panise could settle and let the offenders con-
0nue in the business.
Many Of the old cases were brought to trial.
and the writer's were given jail sentences. So
many Of them appeared that the increase in
the prisoners in the Jail became noticeable.
The imposition Of jail sentences soon showed
good results and many of the older writer's
were driven out Of business through fear.
Many Of those who remained in the business
have been arrested from time to time and given
dose Of justice such as has already been men
toned. When the older writer's. mostly middle
aged men,, retired under the threat OF impris-
onment and it was found necessary TO secure
others in their places persons unacquainted
with the business were induced to try their
hand, and many Of them no doubt did SO be-
cause OF the large salaries promised, and they
were willing to take the chances for u short
while. Even this class soon became scarce and
those who succeeded them were either old men
or young children, and, SO far as the records of
son caught was thirteen year old colored girl
Under the law she had reached the age OF dis
erection, and, while her sentence was not as
heavy as others had received she was not made
an exception, but was committed to Jail for .

LAWYER PEYTON's INDIGNATION.
He Uses Strong Language. hut the Provocs-
ton Was Great.

He Uses Strong Language. but the Provocs-
ton Was Great
Mr.. Fountain Peyton. a coIored member of
the bar, was called before Judge Kimban this
morning because he used Language concerning
the MASKING of Vim. Butler mouth, and while
Judge Kimball could not justify the use Of the
language, he thought the provocation SO great
that lecture was all that justice demanded.
Vim. Batter swore out a warrant for Lima
Campbell and the writ was served on the wrong
woman. When Lawyer Peyton heard Of the
arrest he went out in search OF the complainant,
but could rot find him. and the result was that
the person arrested had to remain in the police
station until this morning.
Mr.. Peyton said he would admit that when
he heard of the arrest his indignation was
great, as he was satisfied that some alley negro
had caused her arrest
The conversation between the lawyer and
Butler took place in the corridor, and after
telling Butler that he should be more careful
about having people arrested the latter said he
thought Mr.. Peyton was some kind of decent
people Il anl,' replied Mr.. Peyton. WELL
added Butler, you don't look like it," Then
it was that the lawyer told him that il he had
him outside he would mash his mouth in two
minutes, and he said his indignation was 50
great that he could hardly have restrained him
self even if he had tried.
Judge Kimball said he had watched Lawyer
Peyton's course about the court, and he had
found 1t worthy of commentator. He WAS
surprised to hear Of this complaint In conclu-
sion the judge said he could easily understand
hcw great was the provocation, but he said
that lawyer has no right to speak to a witness
In that way. The complaint was dismissed.
