Twelve Araigned Before Judge
Cowing. in General Sessions,
and Fined Sums Ranging Be-
tween S25 and $3.50.
FRIDGE" LEVlEN GETS
HEAVIEST FINE, $500.
Judge Declares Law Most Un-
just as 1t Makes 1t a Crime to
Do in City What Is Tolerated
Behind a Fence.

Twelve men pleaded guilty TO indct-
ments charging them with running
pool-rooms before Judge Cowing in Gen
eral Sessions Court to-day. They were
fined from s25 to $3.50 each.
All of the men were caught in recent
spectacular raids by county detectives.
The most prominent of the prisoners
was Ridge" Levien. who. with Leo
Stedeker, kept a pool-room at No. 20
Dey street. known as the Parole Club.
1t was there that Mr.. Jerome, then a
Special Sessions Justice under District
Attorney Philbin, made a memorable
raid in person on Feb. IS, 1901. and
found Maurice Holahan. then Commits
sioner of Public Works under Mayor
Van wyck. in the place. Mr.. Jerome
Holahan pleaded that he was looking
for his wayward son."
Levien was fined $3.50 each on two in
dictments, Judge Cowing remarking
that he should suffer more. being the
promoter, than should mere employees.
Five men caught in a raid at No
127 Macdougal street were fined so
each.
Two OF The" Aliens employees, from
No. so Sixth avenue. were fined ga
each. Manager Bennett was made to
give 800.
Three men from the room at No. Il
East Thirteenth street were fined $2o
each.
In fining the men Judge Cowing took
occasion to say that he considered the
present Pool-room law a most unjust
one, much to the delight OF Lawyer
Benjamin Steinhardt. who has fought
for years against the existing statutes.
II hope that some method will be
adopted by the present session of the
Legislature" said Judge Cowing, ito
change the laws which are now so un-
satisfactory. The penalties are too
drastic and the different clauses are
SO contradictory that the Legislature
should take positive action and remedy
the statutes.
1T is most certainly unjust to have
laws which make 1t a crime for men
to do things in the city which they are
openly allowed to do behind board
fences"

8oseph Schmidt, Who Slew
\ Mother-in-LaW and Tried to
Kill Wife's Entire Family, Only
Committed Manslaughter.
BROUGHT FROM ASYLUM
TO BE PLACED ON TRIAL.
Confined for a Time at Mattea-
wan, but Was Got Out
Through Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings-lnditferent inCourt.

Joseph Schmitt, who killed his moth
sr-in-law on April j, 1899, and then shot
his wife. his sister-in-law and his
brother-ir-lnw, was permitted to-day to
plead guilty to manslaughter In the
nrst degree before Judge Aspinall.
One month after the time he attempt
ed To shoot the entire family of his wife
he was indicted on charge of murder.
He was tried In July and adjudged In
sane.
Schmltt was taken to Matteawan Asy-
hum, where he remaiuel some time. lie
was then brought back to Brooklyn on
q writ OF habcas corpus. The authori-
ties seemed to think that he had re-
covered sufficient sanity to receive some
of the laws prescribed penalty. SO
they permitted him to stand on the
manslaughter plea.
Schmitt conducted himself in court
to-day with no special recollection OF
the crime set against him on the books.
He rose after his attorney had asked
the Courts permission to enter the plea
and said Guilty" in a clear and firm
voice.
Then he sat down to await the fur
ther pleasure of the Court.
Schmitt has been separated from his
wife seven months at the time OF the
commission of the murder. He then
called upon her to see If they could not
come to an understanding and agree TO
peace. During the discussion over their
former domestic infelicities Mrs. Anna
Wild the mother of Mrs. Schmitt made
n suggestion that ruffled the temper OF
the husband. Cross words were banded
back and forth, and then Schmitt drew
his revolver and fired at Mrs. Wiid.
Maddened beyond self-control he
turned the. pistol on his wife and fired
at her. His sister-in-law Pauline. rum
ming into the room. received the third
shot, and Nicholas Wild. the brother OF
Mrs. Schmitt was shot as soon as he
put in an appearance.
At the trial the. evidence l., tended
toward the defendants plea of insanity.
The Jury returned that verdict and ad-
yised that the prisoner be examined as
10 his sanity. After period at Mattea-
wan Schmitt so far recovered as to be
returned to Brooklyn.

The Art of Fencing.
fFrom the Illustrated Sporting Ne

tFrom the illustrated Sporting Sews)
The art of fencing Is one of the oldest
OF the many sports handed down TO US
by our forefathers. When fencing first
came into use agility with the rapier was
the means of protecting homes. honor
and rights. 1t became gradually recos-
nized among nations OF the earth Is the
principal feature of offence and defense.
Even now fencing Is recognized among
several of the nations of Europe as the
means of settling questions OF honor.
To be successful with the foils 1t Is
necessary for one to be trained like the
modern athlete. The eye must be keen.
the brain active; one must be always on
the alert. the muscles mu- be flexible
and plant In hS every s respect 1t Is mecca
lent physical condition. 1t Is essential
for a successful fencer to be ready to
take advantage of the least opportunity
offered to him by his opponent
Skill at the game is the result of
months and years Of constant practice.
Many of our modern fencers have taken
courses. ranging anywhere from two
sidered themselves equipped and quail
fed to te considered a master in the
art. In the armies of the civilized
world, hundreds OF officers have become
experts, but not before they have en-
in the different armories or barracks,
where they have been stationed. and not
without earnest, persistent work and
training.
To the casual observer a fencing bout
seems but a series of lunges and parties.
He hardly appreciates the mental strain
the agility, and the alertness necessary y
for the contestant to take advantage 9
of an opponents weaknesses or to trick
him to some movement by walich his
guard may be penetrated.
Fencing Is a sport which few men and
fewer women have mastered. The art
nowadays requires too much time, and
too much physical training TO become
generally popular with the average
