also forgot the boy alone in the forest
and thought only OF her husband.

JUDGE OLSON RESENTS
MAYORS CRITICISM

"Clean up your own house be-

is the substance of the hot shot
fired by Chief Justice Olson in
reply to Mayor Harrison's crit
icism of the municipal courts.
Judge Olson satirically comment
ed that 'your messenger assured
me your letter was not for politi-
cal reasons, but he had a guilty
look, which I am not justified in
tracing back to you"
In answering the mayors COM
munication regarding the act of
Municipal Judge Fry in discharg-
ing several criminals arrested in
a North Side saloon, Judge Olson
said:
mo evidence was produced be-
fore Judge Fry to show that these
men were criminals. The police
men who made the raid told
Judge Fry the arrested persons
were not disorderly. All the
Judge could do was discharge the
prisoners. The city prosecutor
made no attempt to show that
the men in question should have
been charged with vagrancy.
There was no intimation made
that the men had records
"Judge Fry is of the opinion
that the case was merely a fight
between the political faction CON
trolled by James A. Quinn and
John F. O'Malley, to see which
side could control a class of poll
