squad of four were sent to White
iplace to arrest him on complaint Of
lone of Baltimore's hangers-on.
i Although, when citizens complain
Iof disorderly houses in their neigh.
/ borhood, they are told they must
themselves swear out warrants or the
police can do nothing, this squad of
four officers could invade Whites
| place of business, arrested him without
lany warrant on the mere verbal COM
plant of dive keepers pal" place
him in jail and keep him there for
46 hours, refusing him a bond and
even refusing to ten him why he had
been arrested-all apparently, be-
cause he had dared to complain pub
iicly and to the grand jury about
negro honky-tonk keeper.
That White was found guilty of the
charge afterwards made against him
goes for little, beyond showing fur
Their determination of the police to
punish him. The jury which tried |
him was composed entirely of ne.
groes who were summoned from
other negro dives which also stand !
IN police favor, and the extraordinary |
verdict of the jury declaring White
guilty and fixing fine of SIS in a
case wherein no court in the city has
ever fixed the fine over S25, was pro
cured by police direction and intimi-
iation in the jury room, two police
officers being given free access to the
Jury during their deliberations.
Not satisfied with this, other cases
we're brought against White, until the
states attorney stopped the high
landed attempts to punish this grand |,
Jury witness, by ordering the pro
'eedings dismissed, declaring them to
re malicious persecution"
The personalities of the principal
etors in this case are of small con.
to the public; but the con. !,

ection Herewith is of vital concern. :

EngIishman As a Catcher
Essay on Two-legged Dogs

In affairs of the heart, the average man is a bulldog. If he knows who a girl is and all about her, and if he sees that she is always putting herself in his way and trying to pat him on the head, then he sleepily blinks one eye at her and takes no further notice.
 But if he scents a mystery, of if the girl is trying to get away from him, then he is up and after in flash; and once he gets her he is going to hang on like grim death.
 Another type of man is a faithful watch dog If danger threatens the beloved, he will give up his life to save her. if need be; but otherwise he lies contentedly by the fire, and does not demean his dignity by foolish-and, to many, necessary-dem- onstrations of affection.
 Opposed to this type are the men who, like foppish and ornate little spaniels, are forever licking their mistresses' hands, but every ready at the sight of a new face to whisk gayly off in another flirta- ton.
 Another man. like the greyhound, leap agiely from affair to affair-non commit tai, elusive, graceful
 But the most unpleasant type is the qrarrelsome little Skye terrier. who is al ways finding fault with his mistress, but yelps furously at the approach of a ri
