TEN CONVICTED
FOR SPLITTING
SALIVARY MARKSMAN is CALLED
DOWN IN COURT.
All Glasses, from High School Students
to Grain Men, Are in Court and
Have to Pay SIS Each-Health Of
fcer Will Watch the Street Cars
Very Closely.

1t was spitters' day in the police
court this morning and all classes of
persons from high school students to
grain men were fined IS. There
were ten convictions in all. Some
thought they were being prosecuted
plished the same result as the ones
who pleaded guilty in low tones and
left the court as quickly as possible.
The men who promised the court
never to spit In public again were:
James Schey, A. p. Dougan, John
Wing, James Walters, ]. B. Coyle, E..
G. Walstead, c. Peterson, Morgan
Hewitt, Fred Bentinger and Ernest
Knight. '
Waters, a colored waiter, Bentinger
and Knight thought they had not spit
enough to justify a fine, and pleaded
not guilty: Each Of them, however,
admitted that they had technically
defense was that he had spit thru the
gates Of Camden Place car and not
on the platform. Judge Dickinson
asked him if he could hit a hole in
the gate every time. The defendant
said he wasn't sure and the court said
come to his attention and a repetition
of the offense would insure straight
WOrkhOuse sentence.
Ernest Knight was caught splitting
on the floor of street car and when
warned by Detective Balm the young
man repeated the trick to show the Of
f1cer that he was an expert. His de-
Tense failed to lessen the evidence and
he was treated the same as the others.
Waters said the officers lied, but
couldn't prove it, and it cost him SIS.
j. B. Coyle, a grain man from North
Dakota, and an agent for the North
western Elevator company, pleaded
guilty, offered no excuses and left the
room at the first opportunity.
The health officers will confine much
Of their attention for the next few
days to the street cars, where they say
the splitting nuisance is the worst.
