Germans into Philadelphia when Police
man Mulligan hove in view. He is not
German. and is. in fact, long distance
form such connection. You're blocking
the sidewalk" said Mulligan, you better
move along" Strauss was too mad for
words, and peeling off his coat he flung
1t on the sidewalk. Then he told Multi
gan to bring the police force around.
This brought a cheer from the Strauss
clan, but 1t stopped short when Mulligan
took Strauss by the neck. The look of
determination on the bluecoats face
made the others keep their distance, and
without waiting for the wagon the Irish
American took the German-American to
the Front and Master streets station.
Then Strauss tried to tell Magistrate
Scott the history OF the European war.
I'm neutral" said the Judge. "It will
cost you $3.50" Strauss suddenly stopped
talking, and sent for his wife Freda.
ITS good for Charlie" she said on
reaching the police station. 1T will make
him keep sober" And she laughed at
the thought. She paid the fine, and then
the Judge laughed. Then the turnkey
laughed and Mulligan Joined in. This
brought a smile from Strauss too, and he
and Mulligan shook hands. Strauss
offered to treat all hands, but it couldn't
be accepted for the moment.
