CoIored Policy Runner Found No Pity

Henry Hodges. the colorcd policy runner
arrested by Policeman Joyce several days
ago, and convicted by the police court jury
OF promoting policy, was arraiSned before
Judge Miller today for sentence. Lawyer
Sillers, attorney for tue defendant, asked
the court to set aside the verdict OF the jury
on the grounds OF inadcquacy OF proof on
the part of the District. ''
Judge Miller refused to set the verdict
aside, stating that the evidence against
Hodges, although circumstantial, was posi-
tive and enough TO convict any man.
This prisoner was captured while about
to cross over the Aqueduct Bridge to lo-
cality where policy shops are located. and
the slips having figures arranged as policy
numbers are written. were found on him."

the appropriation is the largest ever made

At the conference in Washington every

The new condition would exercise far

other nations will be less ready to resort
to war. nor leave untried every means to
maintain peace consistent with national

blessed by such change, greatest will
