Five saloonkeepers in the Ironbound
clnct Police Court this morning at the
request of Police Captain Christie and
were enlightened on that part of the
Bishops law which refers to the re-
moval of screens from the saloon win
dowB on Sundays and other days when
saloons are required to be closed. The
men were John J. Pagan, of Bowery
and Oxford streets; William Verling, of
sc Goble street. Charles Lutz, of 81
Goble street; Otto Buckner, of Ferry
and Monroe streets, and Thomas Sheri-
dan, of GAL Market street.
Captain Christie informed the court
that these men, more so than others,
forget evidently to remove all the
screens from their windows so as TO
give an unobstructed view to the entire
bar. and although warned several times
that they were violating the law, ap-
parently did not understand the viola
tlon in the manner that they should
Acting Judge Yuill read the section
of the law providing that screens must
be removed on Sundays, and that no
device of any kind must be substituted
to prevent a clear and unobstructed
view of the whole bar from the street.
THAT is the law" said the court,
"and you must obey it or suffer the
consequences. Captain Christie has
asked to have the law made plain tc
you, as he does not want 20 take whai
you might think would be an unfaii
advantage of you. Now, it is up to yot

day.
do not plead Ignorance If com
plants are made against you. A sirili-
lar offense may cause a whole lot OF
inconvenience and cost you money and
perhaps imprisonment"
None of the men offered word OF
objection to the courts Interpretation
or had any defense to make.
When those cases were disposed of Jacob
Kiel. who was arrested November - for
selling LIQUOR. was called before the bar
for an examination which he asked at
the request of his counsel, John Francis
Cahil Kiers case was OF more than
passing interest because 1t was said he
offered Policeman Brex who arrested him,
a s. bill to let him go. and then tore halr
out OF the policeman's hands as the latter
was showing it to another policeman. The
same evidence as produced the day fol-
lowing his arrest was presented again to-
day. and at the conclusion the judge said
he would hold him in 81 900 bail for the
Grand Jury.
Lawyer Cahill said he thought $1,000 was
entirely too much for such an offense, and
that $500 would be sufficient. He was in
formed by the court that $1,000 had been
decided upon by the criminal courts for
all such cases I'm the future, and that nc
exceptions would be made to that rule
hereafter.

HIT BY HORSE AND WAGON,
LITTLE GIRL PROVES BRAVE
Driver Hurries Away from Neighbor-
hood Where Accident Occurred.
Child Walks Home.

Although knocked down by horse
that was attached to a small business
wagon, one of the rear wheels passing
over her left leg, Minnie Goldfarb II
years old, of 131 Prince street, gamely
walked from Prince and West Kinney
streets to her home after the accident.
The accident occurred just before 6
o'clock last night as the child was
crossing Prince and West Kinney
streets. She was walking slowly and
was not seen by the driver. Instead Of
hating his horse he turned east on
West Kinney. street and hurried out of
the neighborhood That he was not
pursued was due, perhaps. to the escape
of the girl from serious injury.

NEWTON, Dec. 4.--Local authorities
are confident that Mrs. Phebe Il. Cassi-
dy. who was found dead, with many
ugly gashes on her body, in the barn
at her home at Hampton Township.
yesterday afternoon, gave her life III

evidences, as disclosed by investiga-

Mrs Cassidy was 6S years old, and
the wife Of Samuel Cassidy. who is
about 70. They lived alone, all their
children having married or moved to

II was stfll warm and was lying face
downward on the floor. He gave an
alarm to James Emmans, a passing

DR.. Bruno Hood went over the remains
very carefully this mornjAg and found
that several cuts had been made IN MIS-
Cassily's neck, one of which severed the

and bruises about the body. He is OF the
opinion that the injuries could not have

DAVIS GIVES
WARMING TO
SENATE
Arkansas Members Trust
Tirade Is Coming
Next Week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--Immediate-
~ after the prayer of the chaplain the
Senate today began routine business
by receiving a large number of reports
from the executive departments. This
order of business was followed by the
presentation of many petitions and the
introduction of innumerable bills bear
ing upon all conceivable subjects. Sem
ator Frye was the first to secure the
recognition of the Vlce-President for
the introduction of the bills, and he
was followed in rapid succession by
most of the other members of the SEN
ate.
Senator Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas,
who recently was quoted as saying
that he would make a speech the first
day after his admission to the Senate,
failed to keep his word exactly, but he
gave notice today that he would speak
on the l1th inst. on a bill which he
presented providing for the abolish
ment of trusts, pools, etc.
After the reading of the titles to the
bills had progressed for some time Sem
ator TilIman made an effort TO relieve
the Senate of the tedious routine by
suggesting the application of the Sem
ate rule permitting Senators to with
hold their petitions and bills until after
the morning hour and then hand them
to the cIerw without formality. This
suggestion, however, did not appear to
be taken with favor and the duh rou-
tine continued.
In addition to the nomination of Regis
Fl Post to be Governor Of Porto Rico and
Ddward S. Fowler to be collector of GUS
toms. district of New York, the President
todoy sent to the Senate the following
nominations:
