HARRISON SAYS JUDGES
SHOULD PROSECUTE

Mayor Harrison refuses to "stay
put" and has again sent a letter
to Chief Justice Olson of the mu-
nicipal court, criticising the &C
tions of the court for not leaning
toward the prosecution rather
than the defense in the case of
men arrested with records"
This is the third letter in the
series.
The mayors first criticism was
caused by the release of several
men arrested in a saloon, and
known to be of bad character.
Judge Fry discharged them. His
answer to the mayors first crit
icism was that the arrests SEEM
ed to be fight between political
factions, and that the police had
not introduced evidence to show
the men possessed criminal rec
ords. Judge Olson in reply to the
mayor said the fault lay with the
prosecutors office, controlled by
the mayor.
In the letter of. yesterday
Mayor Harrison says the ques-
ton of fight between political
factions is irrelevant. He also
charges that the complaint was
not amended to show that the
men were thieves, burglars, pick
pockets, robbers or confidence
men because Judge Fry denied a
motion by the prosecutor to do
so. He says the policemen max
ing the arrests claim to have call
ed the attention of the court to
the regulations of the men. He

They sent me ice and eggs. You
