TANGLED IN TESTIMONY
JAPANESE DEFENDANT GOT CON
SfDERABLY MIXED.
First Admitted offence on Cross Exam
ination and Changed His Tune.
Found Guilty of Selling LIQUOR.

Judge Wilcox found two Japanese
guilty of selling LIQUOR without a license
and fined each 800 Thursday. The
cases were those against Nakasima and
Ohori. Both fought against conviction
but despite the efforts of Attorney
Thompson in their behalf the court de-
cided both were guilty.
Some amusin~ features occurred es-
pecially in the case against Nakasima
as the witness was iamentably tangled
in his evidence. The police visited the
resort of Nakasima in Kakaako on two
occasions and bought beer both times.
The first time a woman sold it and the
second time Ohori Nflo was employed
at the place, served it to them. Ohori
was first tried. The evidence was very
strong so the court found him guilty
and fined him.
In the case against Nakasima the de-
PENDANT said that he was the owner of
the premises. He first claimed that he
had received the money from Ohori and
instructed him to serve the police Off
GERS who were not in uniform however,
with the beer. Mr. Thompson re-eX-
amined the defendant and then the wit
ness retracted the first statement and
said that he had never received any
money from Ohori in payment for the
beer sold to the police officers. Mr..
Thompson argued that the defendant
was slightly ratified when on the stand
and the mistake had been due to a
lapsus linguae upon which the defend
ant should not be convicted. Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth argued to the
contrary. He said that it looked as if
the defendant did not know what he
the defendant knew and was trying to
wiggle out of the hole. The court said
that Nakasima had testified as If he
had first started to tell one thing and
then had taken tumble and changed
his tune Mr.. Chillingworth contended
also that as the defendant had admit
ted telling Ohori to serve the beer Ma
kasima was therefore according to the
law. a party to the offence. Appeals
were taken in both cases
A nolle PROSE- was entered in the case
against Bob Gardner charged with
selling liquor

DRAMA

far, said Miss Bowman, in speaking of her
nrst week, land the novelty of it will not
wear off for long time, / hope. 1t Is not
simply a whim of mine, but a iong-cherish-
ed ambition that has led me to abandon
the delights of life in washington for the
hard work of the stage
Did ever tell you how I was once ar
rested as tramp?" said Nat NJ Wills the
other night to gathering of choice spirits.
No one had heard Of the incident. and all
but one of the party begged that 1t be re-
lated We'll, it happened right here in
Washington, my home town." replied the
actor. as he cast sly look at the person
who had not Joined in the request for the
story. The officer who arrested me is a
Well-known detective. AT the time 1 speak
OF he was doing night patrol duty on a beat
which was infested with tramps. The ho-
bos bothered him and he seemed to take
special delight in hauling them to the sta
tion house whenever opportunity offered.
Shortly before my stage appearance in
Washington in tramp makeup it occurred
to me to have some fun with the slcuth.
We were we'll known to each other, as we
had been schoolmates. One dark night
sailed forth from my home in the full re-
gala of the tramp disguise in which i had
resolved to seek fame and fortune the
policeman friend. and. after considerable
maneuverirg. got on his trail When We
met there was quick action. He laid hold
of me in way that threatened dislocation
of my wig and beard. l was dragged t the
station house, and, after the usual forma IL
ties, was placed under lock and key as a
'vag." l waited patiently until the return
OF my captor from duty When he arrived
L called for basin Of water, with soap
and towel, and the station keeper was so
astonished at the request that he brought
them. l washed up, removed the habili-
ments of poverty and called out that
wished to see the officer who had arrested
me. He demurred, but finally came, and
his surprise at seeing me in propria per-
sOnae, standing against the bars of the cell
door, must be imagined. I cannot describe
it. His remarks shattered the police manual
in that place which refers to Incorporate
language. He was guyed to distraction by
his brother officers when they became
aware of the joke, and was glad to escape
temporarily by going after a change OF
outer clothing for me-" At the conclusion
of the narrative the silent man Of the party
spoke, and said: Gentlemen, what will You
have? l arrested him.

Viscount Peel has just celebrated the sew
enty-second anniversary of his birthday
and everybody will congratulate him on the
fact that the strain on his health which
necessitated his retirement from the speak
ership in 1885, has not resulted in any per-
manent Ill effects. The house of commons
has been very fortunate in it's speakers for
the last thirty years or so. Mr.. Peel was
regarded by Mr.. Gladstone as the most dig
nified occupant Of the chair he knew in his
long experience. and nobody who observed
his CO nduct Of debates during the trying
period when he was speaker. from 1884 on
ward, Is likely to gainsay that opinion. 1t
Is, therefore, the more remarkable that Mr.
Gully, whose difficult task it was to succeed
this great speaker, does not suffer at all in
comparison with him.
The house of commons has long roll Of
speakers. beginning with Peter de Mont
port in l260. though Sir Thomas Hunger
ford. who presided for brief period in
1877, was the first to receive the title Since
then just lib members have held the posi-
tion, and some of them .uch as John Eve
lyn Denison. for long eriods During the
last hundred years there have been only
nine occupants of the chair, and, in spite
of the increasing demands on the physical
endurance of the speaker, the average ten
ure of Office has not fallen within the last
fifty years.
