TALES FROM THE POLICE
COURT.

Is Street Commissioner Knight
amenable to the city ordinance regulat-
ing the riding of bicycles on the side
walks. Ask Councilman Morey. The
street commissioner has a biased opin-
ion on this question.
Mr.. knight was rairoaded before
Municipal Judge Coburn yesterday
morning. charged with having ridden
his bicycle on Main street below the
Temple theater. Alderman Mercy APP
peared as the complaining witness.
Judge oburn held that an oral charge
on the part Of the plaintiff was suffi-
Gent cause for action. and advised
fine and keep off the sidewalks here
after.
Knight asked for postponement Of
his case for - hours. or until such
time as he could secure the services Of
An ATTORNEY. The Judge was obdu-
rate. and Knight sought to plead his
own case. citing ordinance No. o49.
nassed in days ~ old when II was
lawful to ride on the north side Of
Main street between First and Eugene
streets.
Morey objected. asserting that ordi-
nance No. 2e6 extended the restricted
limits for bicycle riding. Knight then
had numerous excuses. asserting he had
a special permit from Mayor Heitfeld
to ride on the walks when inspecting
the same. "And was certainly In
speeding the walks this morning" in
terposed the street commissioner.
Defendant was at this juncture
ready to plead guilty, but declared he
had no dollar for the fine. He offered
a rattle ticket on an Elk Head, stating
that if the coupon drew the elk head
it could be used to adorn the city hall.
Councilman Morey interposed an objec-
ton here on the ground of attempted
bribery
Commissioner Knight is said to have
borrowed a dollar Of Morey to pay his
fine, but the court records contain moth
ing to show that it has been paid.

Portsmouth, Aug 2s-The Assocla- ted Press has definite Knowledge that several days ago President Roosevelt was authorized on behalf of Japan to waive all claim for indemnity or re- imbursement for the cost of the war, and to ce1e back to Russia the north half of Sakhalin island, leaving the redemption" price of the same to the arbitration of a mixed commission. This statement was transmitted to the Russian emperor through the Ameri- can ambassador at St Petersburg. An Associated Press telegram announced that the czar's reply was partially responsive," There is reason to be. lieve that this proposition on behalf of Japan was not clearly understood at Peterhof, but was supposed to be a revival of the effort of Japan to se- cure an indemnity under the guise of purchase money for the fraction of Sakhaln.
 It is believed that the conference which was held last evening between Messrs Witte and Takahira was for the purpose of clearing up the stua- ton and 1t is now not improbable that following the precedent of it's ally, Great Britain. Japan will agree to settle the whole question of the re demption price of Sakhalin as the "Dogger bank" troubles were adjust ed The Japanese contention is that sakhalin island is de facto Japanese territory and that Russia has no means at her command for it's pres ent recovery. It is understood that NJ. witte has accepted this view in principle, and expressed the judgment that Russia should pay something in the nature of redemption money It is believed that the Tokio council which Is in session this morning is considering this phase of the ques- Aiou.
