JUDGE WARNS "CAPPERs."
Will Deal Severely With Those Who
May Be Convicted,

Judge Kimball has announced from the
bench of the Police Court that he will deal
severely with cappers who conduct their
business about the court in a manner
which interferes with the rights of others
There are several men, not members of the
bar, he said, who are continually hanging
about the court on the sidewalk near the
court. These men, he said, seem to be fix
lures. If they are caught Gaping in the
building. the judge declared, it is an easy
matter to handle them for contempt but
they cannot be dealt with in that way for
occupying the sidewalks.
In the matter of obstructing the side
walks, the judge stated, it is for the police
to arrest them. In conclusion he said if
such persons are brought before him and
convicted they need not expect any mercy.
