POLICE JOTTINCS.
Question: When Is q Joint Not
q Joint /?
Dick Johnson, Who Didn't Run
One, Is Arrested.
KEPT IN THE JAIL.
Taken When He Could Not Get
Bond.
John McCrOw Again Takes
French Leave.

When is a joint not a joint? When
the police do not pull it. But most any
place of business is q joint if they see
fit to think so. Last night at midnight
they sent out to his home for Dick
Johnson, who has operated lunch
foundry between Fourth and Fifth on
the avenue for long time. Johnson,
who is always obliging, got out of bed
and came down to see what was want
ed. Then they arrested him for main
tanning a nuisance, and threw him in
Jail over night. 1t looks as though he
was purposely arrested at an hour when
he could not get Judge Hamilton to
approve a bond. Johnson does not run
joint but a lunch foundry, where
policemen have always been welcomed
and fed at the usual police-feed price
Johnson seems to be based on the
grounds that he is too accommodating.
When a customer desires something to
drink with his late lunch, it is rumor-
ed Johnson or some of his hash-jugglers
are wont to chase out and procure the
same. Johnson will no doubt get the
worst of it because he is not wise. If
he would start a real joint and cut out
the side line of hash he might never be
molested.

Propo,ed Polyteehnic InstItute.

Selma withdrew from the COMPETE
ton for the location of the Presbyte-
rian Synodical College for men, but the

this afternoon, offered an endowment
of $4,000 for a high school and poly
technic institute If the citizens Of Selma
Will donate grounds and buildings OF
valuation of a similar sum.
In the bidding for the location OF the
Synodical College Selma offered near
ly $4,000 and no doubt of the citys
ability or lack of willingness to accept
the offer of the Presbytery is enter
tanned.
The Tuscaloosa Presbytery met in the
Broad Street Presbyterian Church and
its most important business was its res
olution which was adopted by unani-
nous vote that the endowment should
be offered The Moderator, f. s. Cat
chell of Selma. placed the problem of
raising the endowment in the hands
of the Committee on Church and Chris
tan Education. of which Rev. w. T.
was Rev. A. A. Little, d. D., of the
Broad Street Church.
J. F. Hooper. President of the Com
mercial and Industrial Association of
Selma, appeared before the Presbytery
and stated tnat he thought the collec-
, ton of the subscriptions required of
the citizens of Selma would not be diff
ficult; that most Of the subscriptions
to the endowment fund offered by this
city to the Synodical College would be
duplicated for the new purpose, and
that the Association he represented
would almost certainly do as much for
the more recently proposed institution
as for the Synodical College.
The scope of the Polytechnic Institute
would be wide. 1t would comprise a
department for preparation of young
men for college and would also AFFORD
opportunities for technical education
along all lines. A gradual develop
ment Of the facilities of the school
would be made.
Other business before the Presbytery
was the examination of Jesse d. Roun-
tree who was candidate for license
to preach the Gospel. His examination
