Dope from the Police Court

Tom Anderson, 81 years old. was the
star actor at the Friday afternoon ses-
sion Of the Police court. with Judge c.
b. Diehl presiding, and before he
finished testifying in his own defense
did some comedy work that was Ger
tainly good. Anderson was arrested
Tuesday night by Policemen Harris and
Clough on charge of petit larceny, it
being alleged that he stole two coats
and vest from one Mike Hogan of
Sugar City. Ida.
The prisoner had evidently been pre-
pairing an argument TO present to the
court during his three days in jail, and
although he did well with his plea, it
was not sufficient TO release him
Policemen Clough and Harris were in
the Alamo saloon on Commercial street
in citizens clothes. when Anderson
came in, carrying the clothing wrapped
up in newspapers. The two policemen
asked TO see what was in the bundle.
and Anderson refused to permit them to
do so. As a consequence Anderson was
taken TO the city Jail and locked up on
suspicion, After the bundle had been
opened one coat was found with tag
on ii and the two officers started to
hunt up the owner Of the clothing. They
found Hogan IN another Commercial
street saloon regretting tho loss of his
coats and vest. He was directed to ap-
pear in court Friday to testify against
Anderson. and he did so.
Anderson, when asked why he was
not willing TO open up the bundle and
show what was in it if he had not

stolen the goods, said he thought the
two men were Just a couple of drunks
hanging around the saloon, and it was
none of their business. The remark
caused a big laugh at the expense of
the officers, and Judge Diehl, who
after court when anything funny hap
pens, laughed, himself. The two police
men blushed and looked as if they
would like to "duck'' out the door,
for it was the best joke sprung on a
copper IN the court for months.
Anderson said the goods had been
gwen him to pawn. but the story didn t
fifty days in the city Jail was imposed,
John Pool, crippled vagrant, also
caused, quite surprise when he in
formed tbe court that he ought to be
given ticket out of town, as he was
not able to walk. He said when he
was in Grand Junction he applied Tor
seated himself in the middle of the
street and was later arrested and given
a ticket to Salt Lake. Instead of be.
ing given a ticket the man was SEN
fenced to twenty days in jail, the Judge
telling him that Chief Pitt could de.
eide in that time whether he wanted 10
give him ticket for some other place.

The imposing Of the sentence did not
seem TO bother him, and be smiled when
1t was announced.
Additional testimony in a case pend
ing against Joseph Davis, charged with
stealing Sc from a Chinese restaurant
keeper on Commercial street, was given.
Mrs, King, Chinese woman, acted as
interpreter, and the Judge took the case
under Amusement until Saturday fore

be given by Judge Diehl III the case

was held over until Saturday forenoon.
There were a few men arraigned on
the charge OF drunkenness. Gabriel

Roosevelt Urges Probe.

Washington, D. C.--President hoose-
welt has no thought of modifying
his policies for the regulation OF
the business of the railroads of the
United States. This is clearly indi-
Gated in a letter made public Thurs
day. in which the interstate commerce
commission is directed to make an in
uuiry with a view to ascertaining
what has prompted certain railroads to
serve notice of an intention to reduce
wages of their employees. The inves-
tigation thus ordered by the president
will be conducted jointly by the COM
mission under the general powers con-
ferred by the Hepburn law and by the
chairman of the commission and the
commissioner of labor, who are the Of
ficers empowered with the duty of en-
forcing the Erdman law. The latter
is known as the "act OF mediation and
Cancellation" The administration Is
expected to WELD the big stick in the
form of Enquiries into the conduct
and management of railroads. such
