Dry-laW Violations.

Twenty "frst-timers," charged with
drunkenness or disorderly conduct,
were given Christmas present to-
day at a short session of Police Court
by Judge Schuldt. Charging them to
keep the peace for varying periods
and recommending less liberal cele-
bration of Christmas eve, Judge
Schuldt took the personal bonds OF
the score who were arraigned before
him today and released them.
Twelve Others were not so fortu-
nate. They were identified as re-
peaters, and were sentenced to short
jail terms by the judge.
Judge Schuldt read them a Christ
mas sermon, adjuring them to take
their sentences as a warning against
claring that although the spirit of
Christmas bade him let them Off, their
repeated arrests forbade such pro-
cedure.

The fire at Hobart, Okla, calls to
mind the Cleveland school fire, near

men, women and children lost their
lives.
The Cleveland fire came during q

that at Hobart started during a
Christmas entertainment. Both were
rural schools and frame structures,
but the Oklahoma school was only
one story, while the Cleveland school
was two stories. In both instances
the loss Of life was due to the crowd
ing of a single exit. The Cleveland
fire had its origin during the falling
of kerosene lamp while play
was in progress, while q candle Of
a Christmas tree was the origin Of
