HARSHALS WIN
FROM BAILIFFS
Judge Mullowny Away
There's Strategy to Ensnare
Kimball First.

The anniversary Of Washingtons birth-
day Is not a sufficient excuse TO stop
the wheels OF justice IN the District Of
Columbia, and while Judge Mulloway
was enjoying himself at Atlantic City.
Judge Kimball was unusually busy YEP
terday presiding over both the Unite
States and tile District branches Of the
Police Court.
The fact that Judge MulloWny and MS
bride had gone away for the weekend
was kept a secretu yesterday morning,
and when the news leaked out IL started
things going. All this excitement vas
caused because the bailiIs and clerks
of the two courts knew that Judge
Kimball would sit on both benches, and
the court that obtained his services
first would have q holiday for the rest
Of the day. And a holiday is some
thing out Of the ordinary for thoss
employed about the Police Court.
Judge Klmball Is sitting regularly on
the United States bench, but the baili1s
of the District branch thought they
had things framed Up so that he would
dispose OF the District cases frst-
They even went so far as 70 station

Deputy Marshal Forsythe was station
ed at the entrance 10 the court house.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock Judge Kimball
put in his appearance.
Good morning. judge" sd the mar

When the judge went to his office ha
was greeted by Bailin Sweitzer-
Good morning. judge" he saidi

II was a sad. sad answer that fell
on Mr.. Sweitzer's ears. he was IN
formed that the District Court had
beaten him out by two flights OF stairs
and that after the United States cases
had been disposed Of the court would
take I'D the District business
And so the clerks and bailins at
