 FINED, BUT APPEALS
LevJty kj6cttd Into Trial by Law
 ysrS-- --Other Court Cases.

Again this morning Simons' Hotel Grand cabaret came in for it's adver- Using in police court and Albert Ross, whose case was continued from yester- day, was fined s3 and costs for creating a disturbance at the hosiery on Sat urday night. This case was continued at Ross request from yesterday to give him chance to get two witnesses into court. Today his witnesses had not appeared and Attorney William F. De laney, who appeared for the accused, asked that the case again go over. The m lotion was denied.
 Testifying in his own behalf Ross said that young man named Arthur Carlson had just been elected from the cdberet when he entered. Carlson asked him to bring out his hat and he advised him to get it himself. It was while he was talking with the young man that Officer Dart arrest ed him without prOVocation, he declared, Ross also discredited the statement made yesterday by Miss Agnes Shirley, the cabaret singer which she said she was sure it was Ross who was making the trouble which made it necessary for her to stop singing. Ross explained that the construction of the building is such that it would have been i'm possible for her to have seen him from where she was standing.
 TsadOre Simons, proprietor of the hotel, also took the stand and at tempted to discredit the states evi- dence. He said that he was in the next room and heard two Bristol men making a fuss but Ross was not doing 1t. Questioned sharply by Prosecutor klett however, Mir. Simons' admitted that he was not in the room and did not see Ross or the officer at the time of the trouble.
 Lawyer Delaney advised Judge Mes kill that he did not think it fair that his client should be fined for the dis turbance made by Carlson or the Bris- tOl parties. He then outlined the nature of the disturbance at the cabaret and said that a cabaret show is not a private party or a Sunday school and said that the singers, or alleged sing ers' make more or less noise and at the same time the listeners talk and laugh.
 Artists Are Touchy''
 The court also might take judicial cognizance of the fact that all artists are more or less touchy at any inter ference with their art" smiled the lawyer. and this might ac- count for the actions of Miss Shirley. He thought his client had been humiliated enough by his arrest and a suspended sentence should be imposed.
 In reply Prosecutor Klett said: Brother Delaney's statement that artists are touchy is true, but it is not consistent with his previous state ment about alleged singers
 We must visit that place together and find out,' smiled Lawyer De- laney.
 There's no danger about my visit ing it unless it is in the performance of my duty,' replied the prosecutor
 Judge Meskill fined Ross $3 and costs and he appealed under bonds of s75.
