Jury Given Recess.

The jury was given a ten-minute recess
after receiving the case.
. Judge Grover said he would not force
the jury to remain out after midnight at
any time unless the members asked to be
permitted to do SO.
The passing of the jury from the room
did not diminish the crowd to any great
extent There is feeling here that a

That the bartender 10 Fogarty's sa-
loon on Grand River avenue, Detroit.
was primarily responsible for the
death of Maurice Joy, was the opin-
ion OF the court in which Claude Ross
was acquitted on the charge of killing
JOY. The two young men, Ross and
Joy, drank themselves to drunkenness
in Fogafty's saloon. When their
drunkenness had reached the fighting
stage the bartender put the men out.
Ross knocked JOY down with such
force that he died in few minutes.
1t was shown that the man who was
killed had been the aggressOr and the
jury rendered verdict OF not guilty..
1.-The only person who should be criti-
cized in this case is the saloon Keep
er," said the court. "He should not
have been inhuman enough TO turn
these two men out OF bis place TO
fight on She street like wild animals
Ii the keeper Of this saloon after al
lowing these two young men to drink
in his place had allowed one to re-
main inside the other might have
been spared to his family" In the
opinion Of the court the saloon was
directly responsible for the death Of
this young man and for the misery
and distress this crime caused TO his
family. OF many recent deplorable
happenings in Michigan could the
words of the court as to this crime be
quoted-"the person who should be
crtized in this case is the saloon
keeper"

Bound That Way

George Gould was making one Of his
last trips as president OF the Missouri
Pacific. His private car was laid out
on a siding for some reason or other,
and he got out to stretch his legs. An
old Irishman was tapping the wheels.
Gould went up to him.
"Morniug. How do you like the
wheels?n
TNot worth a darn" said the Irish
man.
"Well how do you like the carp"
Its good enough for the wheels"
"What do you think of the road?"

Gould looked at the old chap for a
minute.
"Maybe you don't know who 1 am" I"
"Yes, ] do" retorted the Irisbman.

yodr father when he was president Of

Nothing aunoys some people more
than being compelled to mind their
own business.
ltmaY not be altogether polite or
pleaNhg to ask again that the Grand
Rapids business Mems organization,
which was so aggressively certain
that the saloons of Kent county would
hereafter obey the laws applying to
their business. should take note of the
fact that their good friends are not
obeying the laws. But it eau not be
denied that there is Justification for
these repeated reminders. A writer In
the Grand Rapids Press calls attention
10 the fact that young girls and young
boys are drinking and getting drunk
plght after night in the saloons in The
VICINITY Of Reed S Lake. Slot machines
are in operation in saloons in Kent
county and liquor is sold at all hours.
This later statement is also made by
a correspondent of the Grand Rapids
Press. 1t is quite probable that the
Ebusiness men" of Grand Rapids will
wish to make more promises at some
future time. 1t is therefore not un-
reasonable TO assume that they will
be interested ia knowing what the sa-
looms are now doing.
