Many NatIona|ltIes Represented
Among 4th Of July Prisoners.
A BrIdegroom's Experience

To have appreciated the extent TO
which those OF foreign birth and ex-
traction take up with American insti-
tutions. one should have been at the
Central police station, Tuesday night
Chief Baker had issued an order that
pistol firing should not be INDUCED in
on the highways.
The small boy couldn't believe that
Chief Baker had secured the safety
valve of patriotism down so hard as
that; the big boy, and the man who
couldn't forget that he was once boy
and didn't want TO either, took the pls-
tol order as a bluff.
But at s o'clock the banging or the pa
troll wagon bell began and the hurry-up
was reap.ng a harvest in an altogether
new field.
Pistols galore were piled up ON Lieut..
Lawrence's desk.
Remorse and prisoners were peihs
piled up In the cell room
Big boys and men tarried and their
mournful thoughts were cheered dt
times by the Bacchanralian strains OF
some maudlin cuss, with more volume
of voice than sweetness OF quality.
The little boys were chided and sent
home with injunctions 10 show up IN
court at $3.50 a. m.
At the appointed hour the Woulu
celebrants were assessed SO and costs
each. Just a cool $500 out OF the hoara-
ed Fourth OF July funds. !,
And the American eagle hid his heau
under his wing and wept bitterly. he
couldn't scream under such circuip-
stances. ~
The American citizens who were thus
overjoyed and who were then cast
down, numbered n, and in the punch
was a Chinaman, an ARABIAN, SWeue'
an Armenian, a Frenchman, German
and an Italian. and the "Chink" was
the only one in the bunch who did not
require the services of an interpreter,
He could talk "Melican" well.
Among the sad visaged lot was a
young man, % years old, named {. H.,
who had come from Maine with his
bride. and who. having her asleep In
a room at a nearby hotel. borrowed a
pistol and began to celebrate.
He was quickly gathered In and be-
ing a stranger or course could not De
placed on parole.
AS he was being searched he coughed
up his hotel KEY and remarked that he
might have expected just such luck.
The brass tag attached TO the key
bore this inscription: Perrin House.
Room 49,"
The bride was made aware OF the
whereabouts OF her liege lord. and in
the morning. and for the reason that
the bridal tour funds were almost at an
ebb, Chief Baker played the role OF the
Good Fairy. and placing hubby In toot-
sy's care, sent the precious ones on
their homeward way. The last seen of
hubby, tootsy had a tight grip on his
arm and was steering him toward the
Union passenger station.
