 Steven Jackoboski was fined $500 and costs and sentenced to jaiI for six months by Judge w. J. Malone at the police court session tbis morning on charges of selling liouor ana Of attempting to bribe a wit ness. A charge of reputation of selling was nolled as the evidence was not of sufficient weight. Franl, sackoboski. charged with reputa- ton of liquor selling, was dis charged.
 Attorney Noble F. Pierce repre. sented the two defendants in cour, this morning and succeeded in get ting the reputation charge stricken off.
 Steven Jackoboski sold liquor to Peter O'Dowd, a resident of New port, R. l., who had been here a week, on last Saturday, according. to the story told by O'Dowd. When O'Dowd and Jackobosl1i were in the local jail last night, the latter was heard by Officers Joseph Strup and Henry Jeglinski to promise O'Dowd S10O if he would not testify against him. In further consideration of this act, he promised ODowd that all of the latter,s court expenses would be paid. Dire intimations of what would happen to a "suSealer'' were also poured into O'Dowd's ear by the prisoner in the next cell, who said that If the gang" heard about any "squealing," the life of O'Dowd would be worth just about plugged nickel.
 O'Dowd was in a highly nervous mood this morning as the resulut of the warnings but stuck to his story of the attempted bribery. O'Dowd's case was continued until later.
 Sleep in Coop Costly
 It cost Joseph Dinello of Sixth avenue an even $20 bill to sleep with the chickens in a coop off Pine street on Saturday night, when lie was tried this morning before Judge William J. Malone on a charge o1 intoxication. Dinello said that he remembered very little of what hap pened on Saturday after imbibing a few drinks and sought the nearest port in a storm, which proved the habitat of the fowls. A fine of SIG and costs was assessed for the ac. commodations with the birds and la. ter at the police station.
 Passed Trolley, Fined
 Frank Maello, IT years old, o1 Jamaica street was fined s10O and costs by Judge Malone on charges of passing 8 standing trolley car and of having no operators license. His arrest followed speeding by a standing car, which was observed by Motorcycle Officer James Burns When the driver was stopped, he nonchalantly told the officer that he had no license" In court this morning, James Cristime, guardian for Maello, said that he allowed the boy to drive his machine about the streets near his home. Maello seem- ed to take his arrest as an amusing episode, even the fine, which his guardian had difficulty later in pay ing.
 New Decoration Scheme.
 Inauguration of the new system of city decoration, whereby the old plan of covering buildings with bunting and flags will be eliminat- ed, began today when the American Legion put into operation its plan recently approved by the city coun- cil. Under the new system, holes have been drilled in the sidewalks at specified intervals and flags will be set up in the places. This will mean a uniform system of decora- ton and will prevent any misuse of the flag as criticised in some of the building decorations in the past. The poles and other equipment were received last week by the legion so that all might be in readiness for the observance today of the signing of the armistice. The new system was praised highly this morning by local people, who observed the new plan for the first time.
