TWO HUNDRED ARRESTS MADE, BUT MOST wERK
CASES OF SIMPLE pRUNK-rHosE WHO Ar-
FEARED IN JUDGE KIMsALL's COURT THIS
MORNING AND THE JUSTICE THEY RECEIVED.
"The keeping open of barber shops yester-
day was public necessity" remarked one of
! Lieut.. Amiss' policemen yesterday. ''Not for
the reason that hair cuts and shaves could not
have been postponed. but because the hat stores
were closed. You see," he added, "there were
SO many heads at their maximum sizes that q
reduction was necessary and that could only be
done by the application Of tonics and q good
rubbing. And it was done to a very large ex-
| tent"
Those who enjoyed the luxury were not
altogether those who had been unfortunate
enough to keep out of the hands of the police.
for many OF those who had been held over night
left the police stations going in the direction Of
a tonsorial artists establishment.
Saturday and even yesterday the police patrol
wagons were kept on the run. hauling in those
| who had imbbed too freely, and the officers
| were as lenient AZ possible. making all allow
ances they could for the occasion. The result
| was that plain drunk and not disorderly con-
| duet was lodged against them, and thev were
| permitted to depart in the early morning in
| stead of having 10 go to court and take the
| chances of further confinement in the work
house.
TWO HUNDRED ARRESTS.

o'clock this morning the police made more

of plain DRINKS there was a small crowd in the
Police Court dock this morning. There were
only thirtyseven of them in place of the usual
| fifty or one hundred on Monday morning,
although the collateral list was considerably
larger than usual. many of the depositors being
| strangers who did not have time to remain in
the city and call for their deposit
Judge kimball was on hand promptly at
o'clock this morning and the procession moved
| one hour earlier than usual.
