oBsTRucTrNe THE HIGHWAY.
Fine Of Twenty Dollars Imposed In
the Police Court

Benton II. White, who has charge Of the
railroad shops at Congress Heights was
charged in the Police Court today with OBJ
structing Nichols avenue with cars. The
complaint was made by member Of the
Congress Heights Citizens Association. II
Is said that cars Of the company have been
parked on the track for about a week in
order to change the trucks under them
While this work is going on the cars stop
several hundred yards north OF the termi-
nus, thus. II is alleged, inCopVerienctng a
great many citizens.
Mr.. White told the court that the COM
pany was only doing what had been done
each year since the road was built He
said the work would be finished by next
Friday.
Concerning the Interference with traffic
the Judge said he had nothing to do; that
he was called upon 20 pass only upon the
question of the alleged obstruction.
Mr.. White said the distractions on the
track did prevent the cars from going all
the way to the southern terminus of the
road, but said they certainly did not in
terfere with the driveway. Vehicles. he
said. always pass on the space east Of the
track, which is twenty-five feet wide.
The receiver of the road also made a
statement and concluded by telling the
court that the City and Suburban road is
occupying two squares in the city IN the
same way. 1t was his belief that the COM
pany should have been notified Of the COM
plant before a warrant was obtained.
fine of so was imposed by Judge KIM

INCURS HEAVY PENALTY.
Fine of $500 Imposed on Keeper of a
Speakeasy.


A fine of $500 or six months on the farm
was imposed on John Brawner in the Po-
lice Court today for having conducted a
'speakeasy' in connection with his lunch
room near North Capitol and H streets.
Brawner is the man who walked out of the
court while his trial was pending, and
whose bond was subsequently forfeited.
His bondsman, w. H. Booker, made every
effort to apprehend the fugitive, and last
night Sergeant Cramer and Policemen Witt
and Lynch found him in his lunch room
Judge Kimball set aside the forfeiture,
for the reason, in the opinion of the court,
that Mr. Booker, the bondsman, had acted
honorably in the matter and had done
everything he could in the interest of JUS
tice.
Noble Heard and Mary Edelin,. colored,
were in court charged with keeping an un-
licensed bar, and their counsel demanded
jury trial. Yesterday Sergeant Burgess
and Policeman Miller raided a house on
Hope avenue in which the defendants live
and found a quantity of beer and gin. Sew
eral alleged customers were found in the
house. The case will probably be heard
later In the week.
Another defendant in liquor case was
Charles Gather 1t was alleged that he
had sold liquor about alleys from a bottle.
The case was continued until Thursday.

Tried to Cash a Railway Check and
Was Jailed.

Griffin, Ga. July 17-Oficer Conner, a
few days since, arrested one of the sharp
est negroes that has been in this city for
a long time His name is ]. 2. Truett and
he was arrested for trying to pass a forged
check.
The negro when arrested had in his pos
session several Southern Railway checks,
and it was one of these which he attempted
20 get cashed. Cashier Smith of the Saw
ings Bank detected the forgery and instead
of cashing the check he reported the mat
ter to the police, and the negro was soon in
jail.
The affair was kept out of the papers, as
the officers thought Truett belonged to a
gang of forgers and they would be enabled
10 make other arrests. In this they were
mistaken, but they learned that the negro
is wanted I'm Jasper county for several Of
lenses. He will be carried there tonight
IL is said that Truett attempted TO pass
one of the his bogus checks for SAL in Ma
con. He admits that he got $50 from one
in GAINESVILLE and the authorities of that
place will take charge of him when he fin
shes a term in Jasper county.
