POLICE COURT NEWS.
Rah-Rahs Fined for Singing in Mid
night Air-Other Troubles.

There was an important session of
police court Monday afternoon and
the court room was packed with half
hundred high school and college
students. The principal attraction
during the session was the case
against Robert Drum, Stanley Cope
land and Kenneth Lytle, charged
with singing on the public streets
early Sunday morning.
william "Bilr' Smith, Washburn
law student and candidate for coun-
ty attorney of Jefferson county. was
the attorney for the defendants, as
sisted by Angelo Alt, law senior.
who is running for clerk of the city
court this year. Smith introduced
evidence that showed that the three
young men were only singing popu-
lar songs and offered to have Judge
Huron hear these songs in the court
room, in order to tell whether the
singing was disturbing the peace or
not. Douglas Mote, assistant city at
torney, inquired of witness IL the
singing was loud enough to awaken
the night police force. At this re-
mark, the court spectators burst into
laughter. This frivolity was inter-
rupted by Chief of Police Josiah Ross,
who threa.-ned to clear the court.
Police Officer Cook stated that ne
lay several blocks from the auto
mobile. Motorcycle Officer Arthur,
who arrested tire youths. said on the
witness stand that the singers were
not on the right tune.
After hearing the testimony. At
torney Smith made an eloquent plea
for the acQuittal of Drum, Copeland
and Lyle. In summing up the case.
Judge Huron held that they were dis
turbing the peace in slight degree
and that singing in automobiles at
that time Of the night Cor morning)
was. not entirely the proper manner
in which three students can conduct
themselves. He assessed fine of So
/. apiece. The defendants say they will
appeal the case to the district court
The moral Of this case is that bari
tones and tenors, singing in perfect
harmony in big automobiles, will
have to keep a sharp lookout for mo-
peka people be soothed to: SaNSp by

Another case that kept several stud
ents in the court room was that against

young man was driving his fathers cal

was travelling IS miles an hour. This
occurred between Topeka avenue anC
