on Mondays.

Many Chinese in Court on The
Charges of Having

Judge Lindsay's Monday morning re-
captions at the Police Court are now
quite popular. His courtroom Is usually
packed. and men representing about
every calling IN the lower walks OF lie
drop in and pay their tribute They
sometimes pay il unwillingly but they
know ii must be paid and 50 do little
weeping about it.
Yesterday morning the court was
thronged. There were the usual number
of police court lawyers present. The
majority of these latter gentry, before
fhe opening OF the court, stand as near
the judges stand as possible. They
sagely look over the big crowd OF hang
ers-on of the court and stare at the
people present in a majestic SORT OF way.
This is probably good advertising for
them.
-.Kahele!''
In response TO the shout OF Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth a young native
woman stepped bashfully forward. Al
though rather tinnid she could not help
making goo-goo eyes at Judge Lindsay
but the latter thought that it should be
three dollars and costs and let the mat
ter go at that figure.
A Medeiros, a tall, lanlzy Portuguese,
strobe forward and answered TO charge
OF having committed an assault on a
Chinaman. He intimated that It was
his desire that the case should be post
poned until the morrow and the Judge
obliged him, kNhereat he again struck
into a long, swinging stride, and left the
courtroom.
All Chong, a meek looking Chinaman,
wearing long hair which was not braid
ed into queue, was charged with sellf
| ing liquor TO a woman. He had nc
| license but made arrangements with the
| Judge to have further discussion over
| the matter tomorrow.
C. Herbert, blue eyed, light haired
individual, wearing khaki coat and
blue overalls, also had TO answer d
charge of selling liquor without z
| license just as the Deputy Sheriff
finished stating his charge there was Z
mild cyclone IN the rear OF the court
| room. Some one could be seen sprint
| ing in through the doorway and making
a bee line for the lawyers section. A
| smile went the rounds as the sprinteI
hurriedly said: I'm here to represent
| the defendant and ask that the case
be continued until tomorrow" The
Judge smiled at the late attorney and
granted the request.
: Then Loo 10y and Wong Chow
charged with fighting, were brought up
They pleaded not guilty and demurred
to an immediate trial. They wished &c
prolong the agony OF the case as one
stated: I'VE want to hire an attorney
The Judge allowed this
Yong Fat was next. He was alleged
TO have had lottery tickets in his posses
sion His face, decorated by moustache
and fierce -goatee, and a pair OF very
bright eyes, was a picture as he SAID
mot guilty and secured a continuance
until today.
Six Japanese sailors were lined up on
a charge OF assault and battery. They
were all from the steamer Helene. An
other sailor had procured their arrest
but he failed 10 turn up IN court sober
and the Deputy sheriff explained that i
luau had ended in a fight and that the
complaining witness now refused to pros
ecute The SIX were discharged and
the complaining witness must answer
10 a charge OF drunkenness
Full, a nervous young japanese, who
appeared TO be new arrival in the
country. was Iectured Dy the Judge His
Honor informed Full that IN this coun-
try It IS customary TO wear clothing.
j Simply a loose kimono does not con-
stitute full dress. Full had worn the
{ kimono on a windy day. The result
was disastrous The Judge gave hin
dollar fine and one dollar costs. A
moment later another young japanese
was brought up on a similar charge but
this one appeared IN court decked out
; in the regulation American gaTb. He
had trousers. coat. vest. shoes. and hat
and simply smiled when the Judge III
/ formed him that the penalty would bt
