RELEASE REFUSED.
PiIkington's Habeas Corpus Effort
Failed to PAN Out Well.

Howard Pilkington's petition for his
release from Jail was heard by Judge
Johnson yesterday, under the writ OF
habeas corpus issued a few days since,
with the result that Pilkington was re-
manded to the custody of the Sheriff.
The point on which Attorneys John
c. Catlin and c. j. Newman relied to
secure the release Of their client was
that he was net guilty Of felony en-
bezzlement, as charged. They con-
tended that at no one time did he take
a sum sufficient to constitute a felony,
and that if guilty of anything it was
misdemeanor embezzlement.
Judge Johnson held, however, that
the evidence given at the preliminary
examination warranted the higher
charge. Pilkington was a collector,
and was accused by George B. Stack
of having fleeced him of a considerable
sum.

Whistles Are Not the Thing.

A great many bicyclists in the city,
instead of carrying bells. have police
whistles, which they blow at street
crossings. The practice, Chief Dwyer
says is confusing to patrolmen, who
are unable to tell whether or not their
services are required. He suggests
that wheelmen obey the law and pro-
cure bells or lamps.
