Eleven ticket speculators who were
standing in front of the Casino Theatre.

arrested shortly before = O'Clock last
night on the complaint Of Charles p.
Guion Of isa West Forty ghth street
6u'on went to the TendsFloin police sta
lion and told the lieutenant that he would
make q charge u disOrderly conduct
against them. Detectives Dixon and
Devaney ooTFalled the speculatoFs and
took them to the night court.
Magistrate KrOiel was angry when he
heard the complaint. Ne asked Guion
Why tho men had been arrested and Guion
informed him that they were breaking a
city ordinance. The Magistrate didn't
know Oi any ordinance prohibiting ticket
speculation.
We'll, said Guion. I've been 20 see
the Mayor about this matter and he so
directed me-
i don't care What the Mayor said. :
interrupted Magistrate Krotel. You
should come 20 this or some other court
and got q warrant for the arrests
There was 20 much confusion following
this that the Magistrate had TO rap fol
order seversl times. Gulon's statement
that the speculators we're blocking the
street was refuted by the Detectives
Then the complainant wanted to charge
the prisoners with peddling without
license. but Magistrate KrO,el would
not entertain that charge.
I'm discharge these men. said Magis-
trate KrOtel. -It's ell right for you to
be crusader. but not an interpreter
