LITTLE PIECE OF
ICE RAISES ROW

Only five cents worth Of ice; that
was the cause of all the trouble in Ka-
kaako yesterday which sent three de-
PENDANTS to police court this morning
on charges Of assault,
Pedro Eugene, William Marada and
Ropino, all Filipinos, were charged
with beating up Francisco Calfatura.
but after Judge Monsarrat heard all
the testimony he ordered them dis
charged Calfatura had no witnesses.
The complainant told a tale of be-
ing assaulted when he refused to pay
five cents for some ice which the other
boys had ordered to cool off their
flaming insides by generous potions
Of ice water.
On the other hand the three defen-
dants explained that Calfatura was
in reality piker and moreover was
drunk. They we're sure Of this because
he smelled that way.
1t seems that Calfatura was as de-
sirous of the water as his companions
and was party to the ordering of a
chunk Of ice which they purchased,
but when it came his turn to pay he
refused and they employed the old
fashioned method Of taking it out Of
his hide although they did not ex-
actly admit this.
