Merchants who carry liquor as side
line will in future have to be pretty
careful about dealing it out in guam
titles less than quart, which is the
smallest quantity a merchant may sell
lawfully unless he has a retail liquor
dealers license. 1t was pretty plainly
given out in the police court yesterday
that in future attractions of the law
in this respect will not be condoned
by the city authorities as they have
been in the past.
Untli very recently very little atten-
ton was paid to the matter, but the
Liquor Dealers association got after
the merchants and have shown that
there is quite a general practice among
grocery merchants, etc., of selling liq-
uor In less quantities than they are
allowed to without a license. The as
sociatien selected shining mark for
their first example in ex-Mayor Har-
rington, who was fined in police court
for the offense. Then came the case of
M. Ginotti, an Arizona street boarding
house keeper, and it was in connection
with this case that the city authorities
issued warning to such offenders.
Ginottfs case came up before Judge
of guilty, and City Attorney Lamb
then proceeded to address the court.
He mentioned the case of the eX-mayor,
in which a light fine was imposed, and
requested that the same course be
pursued in this case.
But" said he, Il only ask this in
order that people who deal in liquors
other than regularly licensed retail
dealers, may be warned before any Wig
orous measures are adopted. The two
cases that have thus far come before
the court should serve as sufficient
warning to persons who have engaged
in this unlawful pursuit to discontinue
it, and / desire to give notice that in
any future cases of this character l
shall insist on the court imposing the
full penalty of the law if the defeu-
dant be guilty"
Ginotti was fined $40, which he paid.
mickey, the Greek" supplied one
of the cases for adjudication by Judge
Sullivan yesterday. For the first time
in his life Mickey was in trouble be-
cause he had job. Some officer too
incredulous to believe Nickey's story
that he was working had run him in
for vagrancy. He told Judge Sulli-
van he was working at the colusa Par
rot and he was in sore trouble for fear
he would lose his job.

work, and as you appear to be hon
est this time, you may CO."
Young J. j. Dunn, a good-looking fell
low who got arrested for using indecent
language on the street, confessed to
the court as an eXtenuation cireum-
stance when entering a plea of guilty
to a charge of disturbance, that he had
not been aware there were any rules
of decency he was compelled to OBJ
serve regarding the use of his mouth.
He was fined $40 and sent down stairs
to mediate for five days on the in
justice of laws that require people to
put some constraint upon their tongues.
Mrs. A. Sullivan and Mrs. NJ. Dono-
hue, the two Wyoming street women
who had one another arrested few
days ago, aired their grievances, to
the great amusement of the court
habitues. 1t appeared that Mrs Dono-
hue's dog killed Mrs. Sullivans chick
ems. Mrs. Sullivan SHE'D a club at
the dog and was caught at it, and
then there was war. The court con-
cluded one was as much to blame for
the row as the other, and fined each 81.
Dan OVEN, John Day and James
Burns confessed to having imbihed too
freely and We're assessed S. each.
Peter McNally denied his guilt and
succeeded in getting his case dis
missed. Philip Fay, charged with dis
turbance, took "a hours to plead.
Sam Moore, charged with vagrancy,
was fined S..
