It was remarked in Police Court to-
day that the largo number of alleged

arrested was ffty-flve. Thirty-four
such persons were arrested Saturday
and the number yesterday was twenty

for intoxication and correspondingly
small number for selling liquor. Most
OF those who appeared before Judge
Hardison admitted their guilt and were

money in their pockets and others were
able to give checks for the amount Of
their fines.
In ono instance the prisoner said he
had been working in the rain on a gov
eminent building and had bought
liquor, hoping 1t would ward or a cold.
He said a colored man stopped him on
the street and asked II he wanted to
make a purchase, and got the liquor
and fell by the wayside.
In addition to the fifty-five persons ar
rested for intoxication the police ar
rested two men for selling liouor an
additional charge of selling to a SOL
dier being preferred against one of
them. The one against whom two
charges were filed gave his name as Ed
