HEAVY FINE FOR HOWELL.
Police Judge Clifford Imposes q Heav.
Penalty on the Professional
b

In police court yesterday morning, Harry
c. Howell, alias Hill, alias Foiston. and a
dozen other names. was fined $500 on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
When arrested at the home of Mrs. Maud
Cavert, 11N Charlotte street, Howell had a
revolver tucked under his left arm.
II would not fine you but $50 II I did not
know your record" said Judge Clifford.
But a man who makes his living by mar
rying widows and stealing their none as
fast as he can marry them does not carry
a gun unless he expects to use 1t for the
purpose of protecting himself against the
righteous wrath of some relative Of a
woman he has swindled. or else to use 1t in
committing other crimes. Three hundred
dollars is not too large a fine for you on
this charge"
Howell could not pay his fine and went
to the workhouse, where he will have to re-
main one year unless he finds some way to
secure the money to pay his fine: The po-
lice have found that Howell broke jail in
Bentonville. Ark. after being sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary. A telegram
from the marshal there was received by
Chief Hayes yesterday morning. 1t stated
that Howell had escaped from jail and
was badly wanted by the authorities there.
The telegram did not state what the charge
was against Howell.

Judge Gates yesterday refused to grant

AN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Of the Gas Committee of the City Council
 Held Last Night.

The gas committee of the city council held an extended meeting last night, last ing until Il o'clock.
 The meeting was held in Alderman Moore's office in Third avenue and Twen- ty-frst street, but what was done at the meeting is not known. The doors were closed. locked and barred to all outsiders.
 Were any bids submitted?" an Age Herald reporter asked of Alderman Altman afterwards
 "No. none at all" said he.
 'sWil the committee report to the board Wednesday night?" was asked.
 ssI doubt it,'' was the answer.
 s'Well what did you do in the meetingg'
 "Nothing-for publication" replied Col. Altman.
 What was done, though, not for publica- ton, was evidently very interesting "noth- ing" From parties that were seen closeted with the committee and from the length of time consumed, there is but one con clusion-that gas and gas propositions were discussed in full
 At was also learned from Col. Altman that another meeting of the committee will be held either today or tomorrow be- fore the board meets, and it is possible that some report may be made.
