POLICE COURTS
PRODUCTIVE DAY
Christmas ver-CeIebratorS Are
interviewed by Judge
Andrade.

The post-Christmas session of the
police court yesterday morning was
quite productive to the city and country
and seventeen cases were on the calen-
dar for disposal by Judge Andrade and
those who celebrated the holidays not
too wisely but too ''much BETTER paid
the penalty.
There was a trio on the calendar and
nary one answered to his name. They
were Albert Ferguson, John Oliver and
NJ. Perry. The bail of SO ger put up
by the first two was coufscated in the
Interests of law and order and the case
Of the latter was continued. Oliver,
upon MS last appearance in court, was
promised the limit by Judge Andradc
if he ever showed up again and he
wasn't going to take any chances.
The seven Japanese gamblers, Make,
Soya, Inc, Take. Ogami, Takenaga and
Tagawa, the first three being women,
were called and the cases against Soya
and Inc nol-possed as the evidence
against them was considered insufficient
The others pleaded guilty and paid 81
and costs apiece. They were arrested
on Mauna Kea street several nights ago
by Chief McDnffie and their conviction
gives him a record of making good his
cases against every group of gamblers
he has arrested. He is following the
policy of never making an arrest unless
he can secure the evidence to convict
and thus saves the court time and
trouble.
Look Kee was arraigned for riding a
bicycle on a sidewalk, pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to pay a fine of 81.
L. c. Shreve and Ed Ladd were
brought up for indulging in the crime
| of 'affray'' on Christmas eve, that
offense being mitigated not a whit by
the joyousness of the occasion. They
both pleaded not guilty but We're con-
victed and fined 81 apiece. They claim
ed that the general free for all they
INDUCED in on Fort street was merely
| a frolic.
,Juana Quinones, belle of Punchbowl,
was up for the undiscriminating use of
| vulgar language and was defended by
Leon Straus, who got his client off with
d suspended sentence of thirteen
months. The details of her remarks on
the occasion that she attracted the at
tention of the police are not printable
although they were extremely interest
ing from the viewpoint of another
young damsel of the same district.
Joe Kaeha was convicted of 'sassar1t
and battering" one Hattie Mamma and
| was given suspended sentence of thir-
teen months. Sol Kuua also did the
same to George Apiki but more seien-
tifeally with the result that Judge
Andrade considered his proves worthy
OF fifteen days free lodging.
