PRIZE FIGHTER
IS ARRESTED
IS BOOKED ON A CHARGE OF
BEING DRUNK
Refused to Pay Bill in Restaurant,
Although He Had Money
Enough for the
Purpose

Sol Smith, who held the lightweight
pugilistic championship of the world a
few years ago, was arrested at the Ma
tional restaurant, Temple and Main
streets. last night by Officer Oker be-
65 cents for meals eaten by himself
and a friend. For reason known only
to the police. however, Smith was ar
rested on a charge of being drunk.
officer Oker said that Smith and his
friend had eaten in the National res
taurant, and when the check was pre-
sented by the waiter Smith is alleged
to have told his friend to "skidoo."
After his companion had departed
Smith is said to have walked coolly
past the cashiers desk, pausing only
long enough to say, You'll have to
collect from me friend who went out"
The proprietor not knowing of his
customers pugilistic prowess, grabbed
him by the shoulder and held him un-
til officer Oker, who was standing
outside, came in. Although Smith had
enough money to pay the bill he re-
fused to do so, and told the officer he
could arrest him before he would pay
one cent.
Smith was an example of the hum
bling of the mighty when he was taken
to the central station. He remonstrat-
ed against being put in the cell and
begged to be allowed to explain to the
officers, but he was hustled off with
no more respect for his past record of
fistic glory than If he had been a COM
mon back alley tough.

COMMISSION GIVES LICENSES

c. Mukai, in a petition to the police
commission last night asked for pool
room license at 1884 North Alameda
street. His request was favorably re-
ported on by Acting Chief of Police
Paul Flammer and the license was
granted.
The application of E. H. Crowley to
operate poolroom at Ill East Second
street, under his employment agency,
was less favorably received, and the
recommendation of the acting chief,
who stated that an undesirable crowd
of men loafed in that vicinity, the ap-
plication was refused.
In every case when applications
have been made to run a poolroom
in conjunction with an employment
agency the application has been re-
fused
j. w. Carroll was given permission
to operate an employment agency at
537 Central avenue. There was no OBJ
lection offered.
The transfer of a liquor license from
A. H. Schliebitz of 120 West Third
street, to Mccoy was favorably acted
upon by the commission. The police
report spoke in high terms of the men
wishing to assume the license.
The secretary of the police commits
sion was instructed to advertise for
bids on 100 new police uniforms. The
reason for the action was that the
tailors who had the contract raised
the price from $3.50 to $2S.5O

ASKS C0MMISSInN TO REVOKE
LICENSE
japanese Refuse to Leave Unless Put
Out by Law-Liquor Dealer
Wants the Loca-
tion

A three-cornered contest between q
property owner, a Japanese owner of
pool hall on the property and seeker
after a wholesale liquor license de-
veloped last night just before the
meeting of the police commission was
adjourned.
r. F. Bennett, owner of the build
ing which includes 321 East First
street, asked that the pool room Ii
cense held by his Japanese tenants be
revoked on the grounds that the jap
anese violate the law and have a dis
orderly place.
In a document submitted to the
commission by the three contending
sides, was the assertion that the Jap
anese would not be forced out until
they were compelled to go by the law.
Bennett, in a fiery denunciation of
the Orientals, said they were such a
nuisance that all his other tenants
We're leaving. He had several wit
nesses ready to tell the same story to
the commission.
Bernard Mailer, who asked for a
wholesale liquor license to be used at
321 East First street, kept out of the
controversy between Bennett and the
representative Of the Japanese. Ben
nett stated that although he would
rent his property to Maier If the Ii
cense was granted, he did not care
whether it was granted or not so long
as the Japanese were put out.
Maier and the mayor, and Bennett
and the mayor argued loud and long
as to the advisability of revoking the
pool room license and granting a
wholesale liquor license. The attorney
for the japanese was unkind enough
to hint that the real reason why Ben
nett wanted the Mikado's subjects
evicted was because they were only
paying him 500 month rental, while
Maier would pay 5000.
The hearing was postponed until a
week from today.

DOCTORS TESTIFY
AGAINST GILLETTE
HERKIMER, N. Y, VICTIM WAS
CLUBBED TO DEATH
Prosecution VIII Complete It's Case
by Thanksgiving Day and Jury
viii Take Charge Next
Wednesday
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HERKIMER, N. Y, Nov. 27.-Techni-
cal testimony relating to conditions
ordinarily found in the bodies of per-
sons who have met death by drowning
marked today's sessions of the Gillette
murder trial.
Four of the five doctors employed as
experts by the state to perform the
autopsy on the body of Grace Brown,
Gillette's alleged victim, were on the
stand during the day.
Some of the questions put to the ex-
perts by counsel brought out further
confirmation of the claim that there
were blood clots on the girls brain.
With the interest heightened by the
declaration of medical experts that
Grace Brown was clubbed before she
fell into the waters of Big Moose lake,
there was a larger crowd than ever at
the Gillette murder trial today. More
than a thousand persons were turned
away and those who got seats were on
hand as early as o'clock to secure
them.
To Jury Next Wednesday
The prosecution cannot complete its
case before Thanksgiving and the case
will go to the jury before Wednesday of
next week.
A sensation was created in the court
evidence of prospective maternity TAX
EN- from the body of Grace Brown at
the autopsy. District Attorney Ward
offered the exhibit and met immediate
objection from the defense.
'It has no bearing on the case and
Is only offered as a means Of making
the peoples case spectacular" said
Mr.. Thomas of counsel for Gillette.
IF were sure there was to be no
denial from the defense that such
condition existed / would exclude it,"
said the court.
Mr.. Thomas assured him that the
fact that the girl was in a delicate
condition would not be disputed.
Mr.. Ward, the district attorney, in
sisted that the exhibit be identified.
Would Exhibit Body
"I would like to exhibit the girls
entire body here said Mr.. Ward. II
have a right to take it from it's grave
if 1 want to and bring it here
The exhibit was admitted, DR.. E. H.
Douglas, who occupied the witness
stand, swearing he assisted in it's re-
moval from the body found in Moose
Lake.
DR.. Douglas today gave several COM
parisons between the conditions usu-
ally found in drowned bodies and the
conditions found in the body of Grace
Brown.
DR.. George H. Smith corroborated
the testimony of Drs. e. H. Douglas
and A. Douglas who preceded him to-
day by testifying that Grace Brown
came to her death from blows.
The defense scored point when Rev.
Cuthbert Frost of Lowville repeated
his statement that Gillette was the
first to speak of the drowning of
Grace Brown, after his arrival at Ar
rowhead. Rev. Mr.. Frost refused to
swear to that statement again today
Some of the questions put to the ex-
perts by counsel brought out further
confirmation of the claim that there
were blood clots on the girls brain
and under the scalp.
