Washington CANNES in bathtubs built
for humans don't go in Pearl street any
more. Landlord A. H. BuzzeIl of the
hosiery of that name got wind of a
little dog scene that was being enacted
in his hotel Sunday and his straight out
investigation confirmed suspicion that
the bathtub was being used for pur-
pose that wasn't strictly conventional.
According to information furnished the
police, Louis Badger, owner and bsther
of the purp, did not take kindly to in
tervention. There were hasty words and
if the authorities are rightly informed
blows passed. Badger is said to have
made formal complaint to Grand Juror
William Wishart and this forenoon Mr..
Buzzell was summoned to court. On a
complaint charging breach of the peace
the respondent entered a plea of not |
guilty when arraigned before Magistrate |
II. w. Scott and arrangements were
made for hearing to be held next Tues
day. The respondent was allowed to go |
on his own recognizance.
Police headquarters was advised this |
forenoon OF the presence on the roof of /
the Miles brick building Of a marsuder |
at o'clock this morning. Occupants of
the upper tenements heard the early |
morning visitor and one of their number
armed himself with revolver and insti-
tuted an investigation. The marauder
carried searchlight and used ii effec
lively in defeating the efforts of the re-
volver man to establish his identity. A
young fellow who was returning home
TO the block from Montpelier was con
fused with the stranger on the rooftop,
but he gave a clear accounting of his
presence in the building and was per-
mitted to go his way. For a time the
marauder continued to dig his heels into
the tin roof of the block, but after
while the footsteps died away. This
il was learned that access to
the roof was gained by passing through
a window OF Clan Gordon hall in the
Bolster block. The police have not fin
shed their investigation.
