POLICE COURT MATrEas.

Judge WILCOX Ras General
Roundup of Opium Cases.
There was very pronounced
smell of opium in tbs atmosphere
of the District Court this morn
ing when His Honor Judge Will
COX assembled the rostrum and an.
nounced himself in readiness TO
administer justice as required,
either in doses of the straight
article or tempered with little
mercy. The smell of opium came
from the numerous dope outfits
gathered together by Cordes IL
Co. and to be produced in evidence
In the various cases to be brought
up.
There were twenty eight cases
on the calendar this morning aud
all but three of the defendants
were charged with opium in poa.
session. Ia many OF she caste
where there were two or three de
PENDANTS one OF them pleaded
guilty and the others were u0i.p
pros.'d. Whether they all chip
ped in afterwards ana helped pny
the $50 fines of the scapegontr
does not appear on the record,
and, as one Of the effects of tie
use OF opium seems 10 be to close
the mouths of its devotecs, will
probably never be known. Those
fined $50 each were King Wa.
Nick Hiu and All Chaw. In the
matter of All Lum, Chan Choy
and Abuna charged with smoking
opium in room in the rear Of
the new Chinese theater last Sun.
day, the prosecution dropped tie
case after hearing the testimony
of Gus Cordes and severa! others
who made the arrests.
The gang of Chinese arrested
in the Ho Sin Kee building last
night for smoking opium reserved
their plea until Saturday and are

Chin Cook, who pleaded guilty
OF the same offense, had his gen
tence suspended for thirty days
to allow of his leaving the country |
in the meantime.
Kali, confirmed petty larceny |
thief, was given a Christmas box /
the ear in the shape of
sentence of six months hard
abor.
Cupid Kalanianaole was the
next to face the stern majesty of
he law. Cupid was charged with
Collector Lloyd of the
Electric Light Works when the
after, to use common expression,
showed a bill in his face" Cupid
pleaded guilty with extenuating
circumstances" claiming that
Lloyd insulted him without cause

II. without going into further par.
iculars, made it an even SIS fine

Pitfalls for Girls,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l would like to call the attention Of par
ents to some of the pitfalls their girls en-
counter. OF throw themselves into UNION
sciously.
1 was delayed at a suburban inn three
weeks ago by an accident to my carriage.
w nile waiting youth Of nineteen and a
girl OF fifteen entered the room. A lunch,
including hot punch, was ordered, and per-
mission asked to await the serving of the
order in private room. The latter was
promptly refused. Would a refusal be
the result everywhere? I hope so.
Half an hour later two youths with girls
not over fourteen entered the next room,
screened by curtain. The night MAS
damp and chilly, but neither of the girls
had hat or wrap on. Their conduct was
shocking. unfit to descrite either verbally
or for publication. After they left the room
was so Uttered with food and drinks that il
took some time to clear away the debris.
l expressed my astonIshment to the waiter
that such conduct could be tolerated, and
he informed me that they came often, and
at place nearer town on the road had
been ordered out. Do parents know always
where their children are? PARENT.

events which led to the formation of the
Anti-Saloon League. The convention
which was held year ago had, he said,
delegates from about fifty organizations
and the convention now being held has
representatives from more than 100. After
paying a glowing tribute to those who were
engaged in the temperance cause he intro
duced Representative S. e. Nicholson of
Indiana, who said in part: 1.-THE cause of
better citizenship is what I propose to

Made q Mistake.

Had Dennis Mccarthy exhibited ordinary
common sense he would now be breathing
the pure air of freedom, instead of inhaling
the murky atmosphere of a dungeon cell.
Dennis was before Judge kimbaI today as
a vagrant. and he told a fairly reasonable
story.
If let you go. Will you promise to leave
town at once?" asked the cour.
Had Dennis nodded assent his personal
bonds would have been taken, and all " ould
have been we'll He was inclined to be sur
iy. however, and remarked In a threatening
tone:
I'm leave. but youth hear from me
again."
BE careful sir. how you make threats to
the court" said Judge Kimball, 'or It viii
go hard with YOU"
Il mean that will come back here with
money and be respectable citizen" ex-
planned Dennis. evidently growing alarmed.
Il think had better state" said the Do
hceman who made the arrest, "rhat a razor
and two knives we're found on this man.
A lady who lives on my beat complained TO
me that few evenings ago man endeav-
oIed to enter her house with q skeleton kew

Frank Hyatt Smith VIII be Cared for
by Friends.
Upon the petition of Stanley B. Smith of
Detroit, Mich, a brother of the unfortu-
nate man, and Henry Russell, also of De-
troit, Chief Justice Bingham today released
the Rev. Frank Hyatt Smith of Cam
bridge, Mass, from the st. Elizabeth In
sane Asylum, where he has been confined
for a year more. The petitioners, the
first of whom is the patients brother, gave
a bond Of 5000 to properly restrain and
care for him until he RECEIVERS his sanity
The unfortunate man was indicted about
year ago in Massachusetts for mailing al
legged scurrilous postal cards Before he
was tried, however, he was adjudged to be
insane, and was ordered to be confined in
ST. Eliza beth'S Insane Asylum letter
was presented to the court here today from
Sherman Hoar, United States attorney at
Boston, to the effect that in his opinion
no public harm would be done in the grant
ing of the petition for the mans release
Mr.. Hoar also said that while he believes
the man could have been convicted he
would not have been incarcerated for
longer time than he has been in the ASYLUM.
AS he committed no breach Of the peace.
and as ne (Mr Hoar) believes he will be
well cared for. he offered no opposition to
the granting of the petition.
Chief Justice Bingham, therefore. signed
the order of release. The afflicted man is
said to be one of great ability. His ora
ton at the Decoration day services at ST.
Elizabeth of this year will be recalled by
the readers of The Star as an eloquent and
scholarly effort

GRAVE CHARGES,
Witnesses Say Policeman Was In
tOxicated on Duty

Witnesses Say a Policeman Was In
tOxicated on Duty.
Grave charges were made today against
Mounted Policeman Britt during the hear
ing of charge of profanity in the Police
Court. The defendants were Edward Dick
inson and Frank Stewart, two well dressed
colored men. Britt testified that while
driving along Vermont avenue near Iowa
circle in buggy last evening Dickinson
and Stewart were very loud and profane.
"Tne testimony of the officer is not true"
said Dickinson. MIR. Britt was intoxicat-
ed. and he galloped up to US on his horse
and ordered us to stop. There had been alb
solutely no violation OF the law on our
part and we told him SO. He then shouted
You two - sassy nigsers. You are some
or those - - niggers holding indigna-
ton meetings. He then stopped us. blew
his whistle and had us taken to the I'd pre-
cinct station. In order to prevent our re-
lease on collateral MIR. Britt charged us
with being suspicious characters. Lieut.
Teeple. however, informed Britt that he
would have to remove us to the third pre-
cinct IT that was the charge. so it was
changed to profanity. Several bystanders
who witnessed the arrest declared it to be
ALI outrage"
Lieut.. TeeDle was summoned to court
and he stated that in his opinion Britt was
sober. In order to hear what Policeman
Hutton. who responded to Britts whistle
call, had to say, the case was continued
until tonic rrow. g

Talked Too Much.

Cora Lane, comedy colored girl, is sor-
ry that she possesses a loquacious DISPOSE
ton. She talked entirely too much in the
Police Court today in an endeavor to clear
herself of a charge of profanity, and as a
result double the ordinary fine was i'm
posed.
Cora and Mary Hill, unfortunately had
little trouble last evening. Mary INDUCED
in target exercise, using certain missile
to wit brick, with Coras skull as the
target. Cora, somehow or other, mistook
Mary's caput for a punching bag and imi-
tated James J. Corbett for several moments.
They were arrested and on the way to the
patrol box, SO said the policeman cursed
and swore, making use of the name of the
Deity.
Il didn't cuss, your honor" declared Cora
to Judge kimball regarding the policeman
as though shocked by his alleged false tes-
timony. why, you can ask so and so, so
and so, and so and so, if l ever uttered a
single swear word"
Judge kimball caused a surprise by send
Ing for the parties mentioned and when
they arrived they unhesitatingly substan-
tiated everything that had been stated by
the policeman.
You are pretty specimen" remarked
the court to Cora, as he imposed fine of
$io. Mary maintained silence and ESCAPED
with q s. fine.

The annual convention of the Non-parti-

Number of well-known workers in the cause
Of total abstinence. The sessions of the
convention will last through Saturday

day afternoon, when a number of promi

dresses At the meeting this evening the
address Of welcome will be delivered by
Mrs. John A. Logan, with a response by
Mrs. Matte F. Weeks of Pittsbarg Mrs.
c. Cornelia Afford Of Bernardston. Mass.
the president of the union. will read her
annual address. Mrs. Afford has declined
a denomination for the Office and insisis
that under no circumstances will she ac-
cept the office again, so that the election
OF new president will be one of the items
OF business before the convention. At the
opening meeting this evening the music
will form an attractive feature of the ex-
ercises. In addition to those mentioned in
the program, which was printed in The
star last evening, Mrs. Kepler the cornet-
ist. will render a couple of selections.

Ing that the Non-Partisan W. c. T. Z is
IN hour1shing condition. and that the re-
ports which are to be presented to the CON
Vent1on Will show that a great deal of sue
cessfui work has been accomplished during
the year all over the country. The union is
especially strong in Ohio. Pennsylvania and
Iowa. and the probabilities are that the
first mentioned state will have the largest
number Of delegates in attendance at the
convention. There, as elsewhere the Union
works In connection with the Anti-Saloon
League, although IL is not an auxiliary to
that body. Since the league has entered
the field the union has practically
abandoned the particular task of securing
legislation and seeing to the enforcement
OF the laws. devoting its attention mainly
to the work of making sentiment in favor
of temperance and circulating petitions In
Cleveland however, the women who be-
long to the union have Iabored faithfully
to secure the enforcement of the an.i-to-
bacco and anti-cigarette laws ana similar
work has been accomplished by local unions
In other cities. Last year the convention
was held at Oberlin, Ohio. The plan of
meeting In college town was found to be
a very successful one, as the meetings
aroused great deal of interest among the
students. as well as the townspeople. 1t is
thought that the attendance at this con-
Fentlon, the seventh annual meeting will
not be very largely attended as the prox-
unity to the holidays will doubtless deter
many ladies from leaving home at this
particular time. Mrs. Phinney said this
morning that she did not think that more
than seventy-five delegates would be pres
ent.
