PATHOs AND HUMER
MIXED IN COURT
TWO VICTIMS OF DRINK HABIT
PRESENT PATHETIC AP-
PEAR.ANCE BEFORE Po-
LICE JUSTICE.

Pathos and humor were strangely
mixed in the proceedings OF Police
Court, Part 2, Saturday morning. Two
white victims of the drink habit pre-
sented pitiful appearance as they
faced Mayor Maurice and had to an
swer to charges brought about as a
result of dwelling too persistently
over the sparkling cup. Tears be-
dimmed the eyes of one poor unfor-
tunate as he enumerated his troubles,
eliciting the sympathy OF all present.
while the thick-tongued contradictory
expression of the other caused a rip
pie of merriment to pass over the
solemn proceedings.
Clarence MoIes was charged with
attempted suicide. Clarence has made
the attempt many times before and
there IL a faint suspicion among the
police that the man Is not really In
earnest in the matter and Ia not maxi
ing genuine efforts to end his life.
Late Friday afternoon Clarence at
tempted to throw himself under a
moving Forest Hill Park car on CO.
wardin avenue. His aim was bad
and he fell upon the fender as the
motorman brought the car to sud
den stop.
The street car men testified that
the car and taken to Seventh and
Perry streets. where he was turned
over to the tender mercies of Otficer
Moore. Moles said he was taken sick
and fell on the car fender.
Sergeant Lipscomb testified that
after Moies had been locked up in
the cell he tore up blanket and at
tempted to hang himself TO the iron
bars of the door. He was extricated
from his position of imminent dan
ger by the officers Of the station.
The justice asked Moles what he
meant by trying to kill himself. He
denied making the effort. A COM
| mission of lunacy was ordered to be
held over the man.
A few days ago Moles attempted
to drown himself in the canal, but
was rescued by Watchman Hall, who
saw his action
Legless Walter Toney.
Legless Walter Toney was charged
on a warrant with being drunk and
threatening to cut a negro woman
named Martha Allen. Martha cooks
for Mrs. Marshall. with whom Tone1
has been boarding Toney suffered
the loss of both feet in a railroad
accident several years ago and had
to be rolled to the station in a GO
cart. There was no doubt about his
! being drunk. He said ne and the col
ored cook got drunk together, but got
| badly mixed up in his evidence in
trying to explain that ne would not
!, drink with a negro. He was given
ninety days in Jail. Amid vocifer-
Gus protests and announcements that
he would appeal. he was rolled into
one Of the cells.
Hastings Court, Part 2.

THREE LOCAL BOYS
TO ENTER CORNELL
Minnix, Warner, and Spransy
Will Leave iOr College.

Three Washington boys will enter
Cornell University at the opening of the
coming fall term They are Allan Min
nix. Philip Warner, and Milton Spransy.
all of whom were former Central High
School boys. In getting this trio Of ath-
Irtes Cornell receives the cream of this
city's high school talent.
Ninnix and Warner were members OF
last years championship football team
at the . street school, while Spransy
played the previous year. MinniX is a
big. husky boy with a good football
head. He has taken IN good substantial
weight since ;hc 1910 season and should
give the candidates for the quarter
back position good run for their
money Miunix was also the very cap
able manager Of CcntraTs baseball team
last sUring.
Warner experienced his first year on
th, yridiron last season and made good
from tho start. He is six feet three
inches tall and weighs $50 pounds. Be
sides being an excellent football player.
Warner was a 800 batter on the baseball
team and an exceptionally good track
man. Spransy is one inch shorter than
Warner, hut weighs a little more. For
four years he was picked for the AL
high position of tackle. He was about
as good a weight man as. could be
found in the South, having Won as he
plea Sed in this section. 1t Is a safe bet
that all OF these boys will make good
in some department of athletics, and
Washington sport followers will watch
their work eagerly during their four
Years stay at the Ithaca institution.
