1t Is probable that the democratic mem

middle of the week to determine the dis

of the Senate and the sergeant-at-arms.
but no call for that purpose has yet been
issued There may be little delay in this
owing to the fact that the courtesy which
exists among Senators will require them to

QUEER ARRESTS.
Some Policemen Work Up Their Aver
ages by Curious Methods.


The reopened case of the young man. Ed
gar Ford, who was arrested near Stanton
Park. as heretofore published in The Star,
was tried in the Police Court today before
Judge Taylor. Lawyer E. H. Thomas ap-
peared in the case. Policeman Barney.
who made the arrest. was sworn and sew
eral witnesses. among them being three lit
tie girls, were called, but all that was
shown was that the young man was stand
ing on the pavement talking to two of the
girls. There was no disorder whatever, nor
was there any bad language used. SO the
witnesses said. MIR. Pugh argued that a
technical violation had been shown and
asked the court to take Ford's personal
bonds. To this Mr.. Thomas objected, say
ing that IL there was any such violation
the young ladies were also guilty.
Judge Taylor said that II the young man
ought to be held in this case 1t would be a
sad thing for many young ladies and
gentlemen who stop on the pavement and
stand there few minutes to engage In
conversation. The judge saw no reason
why such course should be pursued and
dismissed the case.
There was also another charge against
Edgar Ford, and one of his companions.
Carl Freeland, was charged on the informa-
ton with him with disorderly conduct on
street, opposite the park Monday evening.
1t was shown that number Of boys were
| In the party and that two or three OF them
struck at one boy in a playful way. O!hcer
Barney came along at that time, but did
l not make any arrests. Later he sWore out
| a warrant and arrested the parties charged
The excuse the officer gave for not arrest
| Ing them at the time, SO one or the Wit
| nesses said, was that ne mad TOO much on
his mind and he wanted to wait until the
Ford case was over. Judge Taylor heid
| that the law had been technically violated
in this case and took their personal bonds.
