Police court
If any one happens to drop into
the basement of the big building, he
will see Justice John busy at work

day he gets is Sunday. He works
just as hard on the Fourth of July
as ne does every Monday. He works
on Christmas, but it is hard for him
to work today, because 1t is the
twenty-fisth anniversary of his APP
pointment to the bench
In celebrating this event he is
likely to let every dereiict go loose.
He is liable to send releases to the
Jail, so that the unfortunates who are
now there under light sentences may
go forth and help celebrate the glori-

II was developed that Mr.. Blake had
drawn 50. 900 from the State treasury

upon whose reports it was charged
there had been graft of $500 900 in
the new prison construction at Com
stock. which cost $1,000 900. were
either incompetent or ignorant of the
true situation.
one of the interesting incidents of
he day was the refusal of Chester

ger, TO recognize the authority of a
Legislative committee and the prompt
command Of Chairman James j.

sci prepare a report to the legisla-
ture. 10 be submitted when 1t con-

bl1ke prison reports, and the testi-
monv upon which these reports were
based. The subpoena server was a
