NO MONEY IN
POLICE COURT
Not a Sou is Collected During the
Regular Session Held This
Morning.


Police court was fizzle this morn
ing so far as fines were concerned.
William Protocol was required to
answer to the charge Of drunken
ness but in his hearing it was ascer-
tanned that he had just passed the
night in the lookup as a ledger and
the charge OF drunkenness had been
placed opposite his name by mistake.
He was discharged.
George Michaels was sent over to
the bastile for three days in de-
fault of the payment of SO and costs
for drunkenness. Charles zulaf was
up again for drunkenness but said he
was not guilty. He said he had a
job at one Of the glass factories and
simply had to go back to it in order
to keep it. He promised to behave
himself in the future if he would be
released this time. On these grounds
the mayor discharged him.
Charles Lewis and Hugh Madison,
both colored, got into fight on the
postoftice corner Tuesday evening and
were run in by policemen. They
pleaded not guilty and asked for a
continuance until witnesses could be
summoned. The mayor held the
case over until this evening.

Hart and the Governor.

The Honorable Charles NJ. Hart a
member of the House of Delegates,
informs the Telegram that he had
no quarrel with Gocernor w. NJ. o.
Dawson. as has been mentioned in
some Of the newspapers. To the
contrary he and the Governor babe
one another goodbye with the
greatest cordially.
1t is true that Mr.. Hart felt some
what aggrieved at the shabby man
ner. he claims, in which the speaker
Of the House treated him. This
matter was discussed by him and
the Governor. when Mr.. Hart. in
tending to depart for home, called
upon the Governor to pay the social
call due the latter. But, their re-
lations were most cordial and Gov
ernor Dawson expressed much regret
that the treatment OF Mr.. Hart by
the speaker had occurred.
The basis of the whole thing may
be given in a nutshell. Mr.. Hart
was a member of the finance COM
mittee of the House, comprised of a
considerable number of members.
He was also one OF subcommittee
OF three, which did most of the work
in reference to the appropriation
bill. Staunton and Wetzel were the
other two members of this sub-com-
mittee. They all worked quite hard
When IL came to the appointment of
a conference committee on this bill,
the speaker for some reason did not
appoint Hart and Wetzel. In the
meantime the Governor had vetoed
the Chester charter, measure Sen
ator Marshall was greatly interested
in as Chester is in his district, and
Hart was among those who passed
the measure over the Governors
veto. The failure to appoint Mr..
Hart on the committee in question
looked somewhat like lemon hand
ed to him. 1t may not have been
intentional. At any rate Mr.. Hart
was indignant at this and spoke his
mind as to the speaker. He also
told the Governor about it, and then
informed the Governor that he must
20 home as his business demanded
his time and attention, all the more
so as he had spent many days away
from II, but he arranged with the
Governor to notify him, If his pres
ence and vote we're needed to in
sure the passage Of the appropria-
ton bill
This is the case as 1t actually is,
and there is no strained relations
between Mr.. Hart and the Governor,
Mr. Hart assures the Telegram and
all those who supported him in the
last election that they are on the
most cordial terms and he has no
patience with efforts 10 make it APP

II an innocent man be arrested by
the city police and made to spend
one or two nights in that nasty little

along with fifteen or twenty others,
he certainly has the right TO make a
good hard kick. The lookup is in
tended only as a place of detention
until the prisoner can be given a
hearing and not an instrument of
torture such as was used in the Span
ish inquisitions. Nor should man
be subjected to punishment until it
is determined that such is due him.
There is no doubt or question that

cent city lookup and that none too

Martin Frisbie and his nephew Ray

boughs and carrying them to two tents
standing in the mouth of bush
clicked opening into the forest. In

placing tin dishes, knives and forks

Two canoes were drawn out. and half

tents gave forth an enticing odor.

murmured in low melody, and few

The meal had sc0rce begun when a
