| The police station is not the place
that an ordinary man would pick out
to start fight in but t rather appeal
ed to Aaron Lawrence last night when
he called there to see his wife.
Mrs. Lawrence. better known as
Rose Walters, was picked mp by the
officers last night on charge of
vagrancy along with Minnie Ball. They
were arrested at the ST. Charles ho-
tel. They are said to have become
frightened when the police made the
raids a week ago and rented room
in West Keokuk, where they stay in
the day time and at night staysat the
hotel on johnson street.
Lawrence walked into the station
last night and demanded to see his
wife. When told that he could not see
her until this morning, he became
abusive and wanted to fight. 1t was
soon taken out of him and he wa-
locked up with charge of disturbing
the peace and quiet of the building at
519 Lucas avenue.

pleaded Guilty.

Attorney Ballinger appeared for the
two women this morning and entered
a plea of guilty. They were fined the
usual amount which they made ar
rangements to pay and were released.
Lawrence was taken back to the
station to await the investigation OF
Judge Mcnamara as to the case. He
says that he wants to go to work here.
He says he has four children living
with his wife's relatives in Canton.
Herman Heese, Jr., who was re-
Gently discharged from the hospital
for inebriates at Knoxville was brought
into the superior court this morning
in answer to complaint filed by Po-
lice Chief Schevers, charging him with
freauenting saloons contrary to an
ordinance passed by the city council
prohibiting habitual drnnkards and
graduates of cures for inebriates from
entering saloon.
He was very much riled over the
fact that he had been subject to such
insults from the police and insisted
that in-as-much as he had been dis
charged from the hospital the police
could no nothing with him. He was adj
vised by Judge Mcnamara to find a
lawyer and entered plea of not gull
