HEAVY POLICE DOCKET.
Recorder Daber Heard FOrty-fOur
 Cases.


 The familiar phrase, "Everybody works but father" cannot be applied to Police Chief Taylor or to Recorder k. F. Baber. They labored hard for three hours yesterday afternoon com pleting one of the largest dockets the city police court has had in some time.
 Beads of precipitation rolled down the haggard faces of Chief and Recorder while the forty-four cases were called for trial. When the last case was con- cluded at o'clock last night, the off, cers felt that they had performed much labor. There was a bit of sat isfaction for a much longer session of the court had been anticipated and 1t was owing only to the celerity with which the business was dispatched that the court did not have to do duty until late in the night.
 Fifty-eight defendants were on trial and their cases were disposed of yes- terday afternoon. Of course there were not as many cases as some of the defendants were tried jointly. thus bringing the number of cases to forty four. Strange to say there were no serious cases among the lot, but the convictions were enough to enrich the city treasury by goodly sum.
 The defendants were mostly negroes with a scattering few whites. The charges included disorderly conduct, assault and battery, fast driving, gam ing and a number of violations of sec- tions of the City Code.
 There are comparatively few cases for today. The number of arrests made by the police was light and the prospects are that there will be an acceptable Hull in the police court this afternoon.
