CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS
Several Cases Tried in the Police
Court

Firearms played an important part in the
arrests made by the police over Sunday,
and compared with past records the ar
rests and P lice Court cases involving the
carrying of concealed weapons would indi-
cate that this practice of carrying weapons
is becoming unusually common. Four de-
PENDANTS were charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons in the first precinct alone.
and in another case defendant was charged
with discharging firearms in the street.
Early Sunday morning Sergt. Lee and Po-
licemen Mcdonnell and Cats of the first
precinct cleaned out a disorderiy crowd In
house on c street, near 1917 street north
west. and Richard Hawkins was arrested.
When searched at the station house re-
vover. bottle of gin and a set Of crap
bones were found in his pockets.
That's bad combination" explained the
officers who arrested him. Hawkins was
tried In the Police Court yesterday and
Judge Mullowny imposed fine of SO.
At about the same time a dlsorderly
crowd was put out of the house at 1871 and
ID streets northwest, and one of that party,
1t is alleged. carried a razor without case
in handy pocket At the station he gave
his name as joseph Greenleaf and he left
$50 collateral for his appearance in the
Police Court When his name was called,
however. there was no response and the
money was declared forfeited.
Policeman Ward of the first precinct
nedTu James roster using some pad ian.
guage as he came out Of a D street saloon.
and the officer asked Foster to step over to
the station house. When searched there
razor was found In his pocket. On charges
Of disorderly conduct and carrying the
razor Foster was tried in the Police Curt.
Foster maintained that he was carrying
the razor to barber shop to be honed.
but Judge Mullowny held that Foster could
not stop in barroOms on the way to the
barber shop. and fined him $50, with three
and one-half months in Jail as the eauiva-
lent.
Irving Taylor. the fourth defendant to be
up on a similar charge was the victim of
peculiar circumstances. He offered a wheel
that had been reported stolen for sale at a
secondhand store Saturday. and he was
arrested until an investigation of his own
ership could be made. That investigation
cleared the boy Of any suspicion Of stealing.
but when the boy was searched, after his
detention. a razor was found on him.
The young man wished to work In the
evening at barber shop on Benning road.
to earn some extra money. and he had put
the razor in his pocket for that purpose he
stated in court. and Judge Mullowny be-
lieved the boys story and ordered that his
personal bonds should be taken.
Frank Washington. colOred. was charged
with discharging firearms Washington
stated that some boys threw the stones
into the building to test him. and that he
fired to attract the attention OF the police.
Judge Mullowny saw no justification in the
evidence and sentenced Washington to pay
a fine of s..

twelve years assistant weigher and repre-
sentative of the coiner at the United States

night by secret service men. He was held

weighed. One Of these panchettes weighs
11-10O OF an ounce, which Is the exact

Queathed to it by Coils =. Huntington,
says the New York Tribune. The fire
that swept over Mob hill early the 9th.

streets. Stored in the old house was
the greater part of the art treasures
collected by the railroad man. In ad.
dition to the pictures comprising the
Metropolitan legacy were nearly q
hundred others of lesser note. Mr..
Huntington spent years in acquiring
this collection. When he died the best
pictures in his collection were willed to
the Metropolitan museum. a condition
in the WILL however left them in the
possession of the family during the
lives of Mrs. Huntington and Archer
NJ. Huntington. and not until their
death could they be hung in the mu-
scum. Some pictures in the legacy
Mrs. Huntington brought east, and
they now hang in her Fifth avenue
house in New York and her house at
Throgs Neck. but they form only a
fraction of the entire collection left by
Mr.. Huntington, and the loss to the
museum represented by the destroyed
paintings will amount to many t.isu-

SLAVERY IN CHINA.
Savage Cruelty Melted Out For the
Most Venial OHenses.


Says an editorial in the Picking
Times: The position of the slave girl
in Chinese home is a very hard one as
n rule. These slaves are generally the
property of the wife, and no one inter-
fereS with the mistress in her treat
ment of the poor little things. who will
as often as not be subjected to the
most savage cruelty for most venial Of
lenses. A few weeks ago we recall a
case of great hardship being brought
into the mixed court Shanghai, in
which small slave girl had been gag
ged with piece of iron and severely
beaten because, when half starved, she
helped herself to some scraps of food.
Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from a
house near Canton road and are said to
proceed from little slave girl who for
some reason is beaten almost daily
with thick knotted rope, but for what
reason is unknown.
Our Informant thinks a word in
public, showing that the incident has
been noticed, may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging a formal com
plant with the municipal police, which
might make matters worse for the poor
itt]e sufferer i'll the long run"

ty court extended over many years,
was the only judge in London who

replied:

His friends say that there was not
even tinge of cynicism in his nature.
He was always in high spirits and his
wit was sunny rather than caustlc.
