HE LIED TO THE JUDGE
Prisoner is Given Sharp
Reprimand by Judge
Girten.

Joseph stdolo, 1866 Green Bay ave
nue. was fined $40 and costs yester-
day before Judge Girten. Although
Stdolo was arrested charged with sell
ink liquor to minors he was discharged
upon this charge, but was fined $40
and costs for lying to Judge Girten.
In f1ning Stdolo Judge Girten said.
L am fning you for lying so it viii
teach you to have respect for the court
even if you haven't any for youself.
1t is very often that prominent bust
ness men and church goers in this
community deliberately lie in court.
despite their oaths to the contrary. ana
seem to think nothing more of it. 1t
must be stopped and I will punish all
such offenders a every opportunity
In Stdolo's case he tried to hand the
judge a bunk story and upon being
examined practically admitted
that he had told a lie Three other
saloonkeepers who were arrested for
selling liquor to minors. were assessed
the costs and warned to be more care
full In the future.
The peculiar fine given by Girten
yesterday is the first in the history Of
the South Chicago branch of the mu-
nicipal court where any witness has
been fined upon this charge.

LESLIE HILL IS DEAD
Former South Chicagoan
Dies in a Hospital at
Saginaw, Mich.

The sad news was received in South
Chicago yesterday announcing the
death of Leslie Hill, who died Tues
day at the West Side hospital In Sagt-
nav. Mich, after a short illness with
heart trouble.
Up to two years ago Mr.. Hill re-
sided in South Chicago and was en-
ployed at the Pullman car works in
the capacity of machinist. During his
stay here he made many friends who
will regret to hear of his death.
Last Monday Hill was walking down
Main street in Saginaw when he was
a witness to brutal assault upon a
white man by two negroes. Upon the
sight of blood flowing freely from the
white mans face, Hill reeled over and
was taken to the hospital in an I'M
conscious condition. He regafned con-
seriousness shortly after being taken to
the hospital, but his heart at times
would take f1uttering spells, and it was
heart trouble that caused his death
according to the coroner's inquest.
The funeral services viii be held to-
day from his home. in one of the sub
urbs. to Lake View cemetery.
Hill was married but had no chill
dren.

Torrison.

Judge Michael Girten presided at the
South Chicago branch of the munich
pal court yesterday in the absence of
Judge Torrison, who was injured Mon
day morning while getting in his car
rage at 81 Adds place.
This is the first time that Judge Cir
ten has visited South Chicago since
last January when he was transferred
to the West Chicago avenue court, and
during the hours before the session of
the court he was kept busy shaking
hands with his old attaches and other
friends in the city.
Judge Girten said nothing would
please him more than to be sent back
to South Chicago as he liked this dis
trict very much.
AS there were only a few cases on
the docket court adjourned early.
Judge Torrison is expected to be able
to resume his duties here today. and
Judge Girten will go back to the West
Chicago avenue court.
During the regime of Girten over the
local court he was always being kid

took particular pains to inform the
press men that he was still single
and enjoying the freedom of bachelor
life.

HEALTH OFFICERS PASS
THROUGH EIGHTH WARD

Two officers from the health de-
partment were in South Chicago in
vestigating the unsanitary conditions
that said to exist in certain parts
of the eighth ward. The objective
point of the officers visit was at
Ninety-third street and Terrence ave
nue. where the sloughs abound on all
sides. The stagnant waters in these
sloughs are the means of much tv-
phoid and other germs and so poison
are the waters in these holes that
ducks that have drank the water are
known to have died within a few
hours after doing so. The attention
of the health department was brought
to this property by residents who live
near and some action will probably be
taken during the next few days.
In the meantime the spot is being
evaded by those who are compelled to
walk near it as the stencil issuing
therefrom is said to be very bad.

Old Gloves.

They have about so or so kid gloves
at the ticket Office down at Union sta,
ton, gray suedes, undressed kids
every old kind. But the trouble is
that among them all there is not one
pair. They are all odd gloves. mostly
"lefts." You see most men carry their
money in their left-hand pockets. and
when they're buying railroad tickets.
they take off the left glove. Then
when they go away and leave the
glove the boys in the ticket office are
no better off than If they had left moth
ing behind but an air of mystery.
It's surprising, too" they say at the
ticket office, how many men have
one or two fingers missing. Out of
the lot of old gloves now there. a
dozen or more have at least one finger
gone. The ticket sellers watch for
men who have fingers missing and
try to match them up with gloves that
correspond. With that exception,
most of the gloves go to waste

MYSTERY IN SEA FIRE
Burning Boat Puzzles South
Chicago Last Night in
Midlake.

what appeared to be a boat in flames
about five miles out in the lake was
observed off the shore of South Chi
cago last night and the fire tug Chi
cago in command of Captain Sweeney
went out to investigate.
Before the tug could get close
enough to learn the cause of the fire
1t vanished, but it is believed that a
boat took fire and sank. All the life
saving stations Were notified to be on
the lookout for bodies and if possible
burned wood. to make sure that a boat
did burn.
The fire tug was notified just before
the rainstorm and the clouds. Mist
and rain added to the prevention of
seeing for sure If it was a boat. The
fire tug went out into the lake about
four miles and then steamed around
for a while but without any avail.
Whether the flames We're in small
launch and destroyed it or whether
they were due to the ignition Of leak
ing gasoline on such a launch and were
of little extent, the life saving crew
and the fire tug officials are unable to
determine
further search for the supposed
burned boat will be made this morn
ing. A large number of launches
which moor in the Calumet river and
make daily trips to and from Jackson
Park and Chicago were known to be
out on the lake at the time of the
accident and it is not known for sure
If one Of these little craft burned and
sank.
This morning an Investigation will
begin to find out. If possible, if any of
the little gasoline launches are miss
ing. All the life savers of the South
Chicago life saving station were worn
out with the hunt for the burned boat
and this morning they went out afresh
and with more vigor. and if possible
they will locate the boat.

Roller Skating Stopped.

The "Kfbosh" sign was placed on
rOller skates in the little suburb Of
Brookdale. when tn police ordered all
children to keep off the street with
their roller skates.
Recently the skating craze assumed
such proportions that a driver had to
almost pass through the public thor
oughfares on a walk to keep from
running over children
Numerous complaints were made to
the police headquarters down town
with the result that orders were issued
to the effect that roller skaters must
stay on the walks in Brookdale or take
a chance of being given a fire hide to
the police station

South Chica8o
JOHN GORDON WANTED
FOR PICKING POCKETS
Engaged Victims in n Conversation and
In the Meantime He Cleaned Up.

The 18th precinct station have sent
out notices over the city asking for
the apprehension of John Gordon, who
is wanted for picking pockets. Gordon
is described as being q years old feet
inches height, dark hair and com
plexion, smooth shaver, wore a dark
brown suit and a Masonic pin. He is a
smooth talker
Gordon's method was to engage his
victim in a conversation regarding the
location of a certain street and while
the victim was pointing it out he would
perform the sleight of hand stunt, re-
lieving his victim of his money. The
gene was worked successfully on three
men in the 18th precinct.
So far no trace of the man has been
found in South Chicago and it is be-
lieved that he has ducked the South
Chicago district
