CONSIDER THE
COURT A JOKE
So Lawyer Tells JUDGE
mons for Juryman.

A sensational climax was reached
In the district court yesterday morn
ing when Joseph e. Stricken told
John w. Beekman that the district
court was considered a Joke. This
was brought out when three promi-
nent men subpoenaed as jurymen in
the suit OF Simpson, Clapp and Com
pany against the Raritan Mercantile
Company, did not appear.
This was not received by the
Judge with favor, and he declared
he would demonstrate whether the
district court is considered a Joke,
and later issued summons for Peter
8. Byrnes, Of 1913 New Brunswick
avenue, proprietor of the Club cafe
at the same place. He will have
to give good reasons why he was
not present, or be subject to a fine
500 for contempt of court. Louis
BRIGGS and August Faber, the other
of the three men not appearing at
the proper time, came before the
judge before court adjourned and
gave satisfactory reasons.

Members of the Board OF Excise
Commissioners conferred with City
Attorney c. G. Hommann in his of
fees last night with regard to pro-
posed amendments to the excise or.

conflicted with state laws. 1t Is in

PROTECTION
Walters Strike in New York
Reached Serious Propor-

Proprietors to Call on

SHOTS FIRED BY MOB
spccial bp U,:ited Press Wire.

New York Jan. 25.-Despite the
fact that the police dubbed heads
with an abandon that kept the hospit
al ambulances busy during the wait
ers strike riot last night the hotel
men today declared themselves dis
satisfied with the protection given
them by the department. The prop
rietors of the big hotels and restau-
rants around which the disturbances
ragged said they would apply to Sher-
if Hamburger for more adequate pro-
lection and If that does not result In
safeguarding their places and pa
irons against what they termed the
"unruly mob" they would call on the
governor for the militia.
At the headquarters OF the walters
union today it was charged that the
walters on strike were not guilty of
the bombardment with bricks of the
hotel and restaurant windows, but
that this violence was the work Of
gangs of young "roughs" who follow
ed the marching walters around and
started the trouble just for the sake
of excitement.
"Our men have been counselled
against all violence" declared the
union leaders, "and they would sim
ply have marched around to the diff
ferent hotels to arouse the remain
ing walters at work to come out on
strike had these hoodlums kept
away"
The union estimated today that S.
600 men were now out on strike and
said 1000 would be out before night.
Neither side would admit that there
is the slightest possibility of an arm
istible settlement In the near future.

Horse Racing July a.

Jack Johnson, the horse trainer
at the fair grounds, has taken
up the proposition of some races
here on July A and 5 and has re-
ceived sufficient encouragement
to assure a good meet with ample
purses to attract horses. There
will be harness and running races
for both days and of course this
will include some saddle horse
races for the boys in this county
who have some good saddle ami
mails. The program will be out
shortly, just as soon as arrange
ments are completed.
The Rod & Gun Club will also
have some sport during that time
which will be an additional at
traction toward celebrating. The
Club plans to have some trap
shooting but whether it will be
confined to local shots or an in
vitation extended to some out
side club to visit US has not been
determined.
w. II. Robins, who was in
town this week. told some Of the
Gun Club members that the peo-
pie Of his neighborhood contem-
plate a picnic during the summer
and he hoped it could be arrang-
ed on dates that would permit
the Club coming over with the
traps and have some sport. His
suggestion met with hearty APP
proyal at a meeting of the Club
held Thursday evening.

To Begin Work
On Light Plant.

James d. Fellows, who with
others started a project on Emf
grant Creek some time ago to
furnish power for electric lights
for Burns. arrived here Thurs
day evening. He has come to
begin operations on the project
in the immediate future. He
will return to Portland in a few
days after q visit to the power
site to ascertain what is neces-
sary to get to work, and place
such data and information before
his associates in Portland, then
he will return to take up the work
proper. This undertaking has
been delayed from one cause or
another for some time, but Mr..
Fellows states that all obstacles
have been removed and the plant
will be installed without delay as
he has the necessary capital to
go ahead.
There is some talk Of another
power line being put in from the
Malheur and it is possible that
the two projects may be merged
and only one line put into Burns
as the field will not justify COM
peting lines. This. however. is
merely speculative so far as The
Times Herald knows. 1t is never
theless gratifying to learn that
we are to have service as we
have been without lights for a
long period and the people of this
city will welcome change.

More Game Birds If
We Want Them

Game Warden Mace received a
letter from the Office of the State
Game Warden yesterday stating
they had a number of young game
birds at the State Farm that will
soon be ready for distribution in
in localities where people would
take an interest in their protec-
ton and care. These include
China, Reves. Golden and Silver
pheasants which will be shipped
when five weeks old together
with the hen mother in coops.
They must be cared for until
large enough to liberate then the
coop and mother hen are to be
returned to the farm. These
shipments are made entirely at
the expense of the state and all
we have to do is secure proper
care of the birds until they are
liberated and return the old hen
and coops.
The Times Herald understands
from this letter that these birds
may be liberated any place in
the country and are not restrict
ed to certain territory as those
shipped in last summer. The
Gun Club will take the matter up
with farmers who will cooperate
and no doubt several coops may
be cared for in this county. Any
one interested should address
the secretary of the club or write
Mr.. Mace. This should be done
without delay.
