Slippery Streets
Cause Many Falls
But No "CaSuaLS "
One Skidding Ford in Crash
City Takes On Ashes
Wednesday Appearance.

Discussion Of falls. nears falls and
the acrobatic gyrations bordering on
contortions due TO the slipp ~ con-
dtions Of the sidewalks. was the
chief topic OF conversation last
night in the downtown section.
Many persons fell but no serious
injuries were reported. A light
drizzIe started late in the afternoon
and continued throughout the night
and frOze as soon as It struck the
pavement
Preparations had been made at
the police station and hospitals TO
care for accidents that might be
reported but the few that had ma.
teriaiized up 20 a late hour were
OF minor importance. Traffic Off
GERS were notified TO warn autoists
20 drive at a moderate rate Of speed
and this precautiOn may have been
the cause OF holding the accidents
down 20 a minimum.
The pavements We're as slippery
az a dance hall floor and IL was no
uncommon sight 10 see automobiles
make an attempt % turn corners
only 20 swing around in the POSI-
ton they started from. A skidding
Ford crashed into a Studebaker car
at Lafayette and jefferson blvd.
but this was the only accident re-
ported. 10 one was injured.
The outlying well paved streets
were crowded with boys and girls
who took advantage OF the slippery
conditions forming sliding ponds.
Sleds and skates were much in evil
denCe and many mothers and
fathers were beseiged 10 hand out
the Christmas gifts before time so
that conditions could be taken adj
vantage OF. Numerous complaints
we're made by citizens living in the
vicinity OF these streets. who feared
that the children would be injured
by passing autoists. but upon in
vestigatiOn IL was found that only
the excluded streets we're being
utilized for this purpose and the
children were allowed 10 enjoy their
coasting and Gliding.
Many Of the urchins expressed the
hope that the slippery conditions
would continue until after Christmas
TO allow Santa Claus a quicker
means of reaching all the homes in
the city.
The city quickly acquired the ap-
pearance of ashes" wednesday
shortly after Z o'clock when the
furnaces and stoves were cleaned
of their contents and placed on the
in an efforts 10 make walk

COURT TACTICS OF
JELLIS0N'S AIDE
FLAYED BY JUDGE
Montgomery Lenient With
Neutrality-suspicious. Guilty
on Booze Count.

Police court ethics as practiced
by Pros Floyd o. Jellison's deputy,
A. H Hamborsky. during the trial
OF James McCarty and Clyde Al
ward for unlawful possession OF lIq-
uor yesterday IN superior court No.
]. placed Han. horsky In contempt u
court before Judge Chester r. Mont
gomery.
Deputy Hamb orsky's insIstance IN
arguing upon point Of law after
the court had ruled upon II led 10 a
sharp reprimand by Judge Mont
gOmery.
Ignores Courts Ruling
The discussion in the open court
room concerned admissability OF
certain evidence. Judge Mont
gomery permitted Hamborsky and
Frank Cilmer. who represented the
state and defense. to make their ar
guments. whereupon he sustained
the objection.
Hamborsky. not content with
abiding the courts rule. attempted
TO have the judge change his mind
and reverse his oTinion. Then Judge
Montgomery told him that the
court had ruled on the point and
he did not care to hear more argu-
ment in view OF the fact that the
manner in which the evidence was
sought 20 be introduced was pre-
judicial for the states interest.
Again HambOrsky insisted on ar
guing the matter. The court CURLY
informed him that the state had re-
lief from the courts ruling and
told him 10 ask another question
and proceed with the trial.
HambOrsky I'm Contempt
The deputy, however, did not de-
tect the error of his way in press
ing the point. Judge Montgomery
dismissed the jury so that no scene
would take place before the Il men
deciding as TO the guilt or inno~
cence Of the two defendants
Finally. when HambOrsky had
concluded arguing over the point
which had already been ruled on.
Judge Montgomery said:
Mr. Hamborsky you are now in
contempt Of court. This time the
court will overlook the matter. dis
missed the jury that a scene should
not take place in the court which
might prejudice the states interests.
The case may proceed"
Hamborsky dropped the police
court tactics and resumed his exam
