they do conform to the usages of So

HEAVY FINE FOR
STREET TROUBLE
John Romano Fined $50 and
Costs in City Court
To-day

Judge Cochran imposed fines aggre-
eating $50 and costs on John Romano
on two charges in City Court this morn
ing. The Court dismissed Anton Di
Maio, with whom, it was alleged Ro-
mano had engaged in a fight in the
street yesterday.
Romano faced two charges. disor-
derly conduct and fighting on the street,
the latter charge being changed to as
sault and battery in court after Judge
Cochran had heard the testimony
against Romano. According to wit
nesses the trouble started over some
money which Romano alleged was due
him.
Di Maio. who is a musician, was in
a tailor shop at Sixth and Tatnall
streets waiting for car to take him
to Brandywine Springs when Romano
came in. The latter is alleged to have
asked for the money and when Di Maio
said that all he owed him was 40 cents
Romano is said to have claimed it was
81. There were some words and about
that time. Di Maio went out to get the
car. Romano is alleged TO have pulled
Di MaiO off the car and the fight
started.
According to the testimony Romano
was the one who started the fight A
witness said that Romano bit Di Maic
on the arm. Patrolman Taylor hap
pened along as the fight was at its
height and placed both men under
arrest.
Romano was highly demonstrative
in relating through Court Interpreter
Carmine Di Mare his version of the
trouble. The Court more than once
told Romano not to get excited. After
hearing the testimony Judge Cochran
imposed a fine of $50 and costs on Ro-
mano on the disorderiy conduct charge
The Judge then said he thought the
charge of fighting on the street ought
to be changed to one of assault anc
battery On this charge the Court i'm
posed a fine of $50 and costs. Dl Maic
was dismissed.

NO HEIR TO THE
DUTCH THRONE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
AMSTERDAM, Sept 11.-For the
third time Holland has been disap-
pointed in its ardent hope that Queen
Wilhelmina would bring an heir to the
Dutch throne. Just as hopes were
mounting highest, comes the announce
ment from the Royal Castle, Het Loo,
at Apeldorn, where the Queen went ex-
pecting an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that the
birth was premature. Official certi-
fication Of this report was received to-
day. Accompanying the report was the
physicians statement that il will be
idle for the people to again expect an
heir to the throne The Queen is rap
idly regaining her health and the
alarming reports concerning her con-
dition are wholly unwarranted. She is
much depressed however. with the dis
appointment of her people.
AS Queen Wilhelmina is the last
member of the house of Orange. a sue
.cessor to the throne will have to be
chosen by the Queen and a special
joint convention of the two joint houses
of parliament Already there is talk
of making the country a republic on
the death of the present Queen. but
the time is ahrdly believed to be ripe

LONDON, Sept. 1l.-Simuitaneously
with the announcement from Arch
bishop Bourne today that the great
parade of Catholics viii not be aban-
doned on Sunday the Protestant Ali
ance applied for an injunction to pre-
vent the demonstration.
The judge of the court, the petition
with whom the petition was filed was
found to be on a vacation. lie will
not return until tomorrow when the
petition viii be presented TO him and an
immediate decision demanded
The general belief is that the petit
tion Will be either received or taken
under advisement, which will mean no
official interference with the parade.
The decision of Archbishop Bourne
and other prelates in the great Euchar-
est congress that is being held here To
go ahead with the parade, after hav-
ing decided TO abandon Il. came as a
result of widespread protest from
Catholics and Frotestants alike against
the activity Of the alliance.
The liberal Protestants are agreed
that invocation Of the ancient and sup
posedly ineffective law against the
Catholics was an exhibition Of unwar-
ranted narrowness and a gross dis
courtesy to the visitors.
At a meeting of one of the English
sections last night many heated
speeches was made against the archaic
law. The Duke of Norfolk voiced the
common sentiment when he declared
that the law was a blasphemous coll
lection Of phrases, revolving TO every
Catholic ear.

cult TO annul the old laws, but that
II should be revived at this time and
