Second Batch of Prisoners as Result
 of Christening Row.

There was another batch of prison ers-Russian Poles this time-before Justice Clarence F. Cundall on the West Side Wednesday morning. The prisoners pleaded guilty to breach of the peace and paid the fines and costs assessed against them. Warrants for their arrest had been issued by Grand Juror w. F.

One batch that took part in the altercation had been arrested and fined Monday, and this faction would not be satisfied until the other bunch had been haled before the court and given like treatment It is said that a dispute about the war started the row. A peculiar thing about the whole affair, however. was that there didn't appear to be any great anil mostly on either side over the fracas, those who had been fined merely de- string that the other crowd should likewise be separated from some of their money for the part they had
 taken in the affair.
