Police Court Judge John p. NC
Mahon, who sympathizes with the
policemen who have to plod the streets
all day under blistering Summer
sun. commended The Star today for
its efforts to make their work little
more bearable by serving cool and
invigorating drinks.
1T is a very fine gesture on the
part of The Star to relieve Washing
tons perspiring and thirsty policemen
on these torrid Summer days with its
heat chaser" said Judge Mcmahon
"It is a worthwhile and humane
endeavor, and I know the officers
appreciate the service because of my
close contact with them in Police
Court.
"I know the officers suffer on the
streets on hot days, particularly the
men who are assigned to traffic duty.
And I know, too. that they suffer
further when they are forced to ap-
pear in court and wait around in the
stuffy rooms.
"It is these men who really benefit
from a cold and refreshing drink.
And the public benefits as well, since
a cooling drink tends to make the

the truck and its white-robed hostess,
Hope Batcheller, who passes out a

"Patrolling the river, dragging for

More than one in public life has lived to regret
hastily given public opinion in matters that have up
and sometimes to ruin his future public usefulness
1t is opinion that Hennepn county district Judge W.
W. Bardwe has met of those moments when sentenc-
ing the prisoner Rayed Johnson he very thny veneered
his opinion that Johnson fortunate to have been
ynched
Lynching is crime equally heinous as the one to
which Johnson pleaded guilty. While with the Judge
abhor the crimes for which this pay the penalty
believe it most unWse for any man. and especially
arbiter of justice to express by implication sympathy
with the taking of life without due of law John
at least had the opportunity to prove his innocence
conviction foregone conclusion He would have done
well have pleaded guilty at the start 1t would have saved
much unpleasant notorety for the people of his
1t would most certainly have saved the honorable judge
from ayng himself in the minds of all thinking people with
that rabbe in the south whose chief lies in taking
the life of Negro, be he innocent or guilty.
It would have been well also in his castigations the
Judge had included those forces of the law whose neglect
and Indifference has permitted prostitution to flourish it
still does flourish in this fair city He could have adj
monished the south and its system of vicious racial nequa
ties in education and opportunity that yearly makes pos
sbe Rayd Johnsons that section which spawns thousands
of humans who will be given the encouragement to
become good useful citizens but who given every
centive to become enemies TO society.
Judge Bardwel did not go far enough. What he did
say unbecomng to in his position His extraneous
remarks clearly not plea for law and order but actually
a tacit approval of Texas justice.

Sheriff Wall
Guards gainst
Mob Violence

Feeling among numerous white
habitual courtroom visitors against
Rayfeld Johnson, on trial for q
statutory offense in a Hennepin
country district court threatened
for time to develop into an at
tempt at mob violence Wednesday.
Prompt action by Sheriff John
Wall prevented any such NANTES
tation. Threats overheard by
Louis Ewing and Rev. E. F. Clancy
in the corridors outside the court
room caused these two men to go
to Sheriff Wall and tell him of the
threatening situation.
When Judge w. w. BardweH
dismissed the Wednesday sessions,
eight deputy sheriffs were on hand
to keep the spectators in the court
room until Johnson was removed
from the room with a deputy on
each side of him. Inflammatory
newspaper articles in the dailies
are given as the chief cause of the
tense feeling over the case.

JOHNSON GETS
1O YRS. AFTER
GUILTY PLEA
Judge BardweII Refers to Mob
Law

The highly sensational trial Of
Rayfeld johnson, charged with In
ducing an Is year old white girl
into life of shame, came to a
sudden end Thursday when the
prisoner changed to plea Of guilty
and was sentenced by Judge w. w.
Bardwell to 10 years in the state
penitentiary. In passing sentence
the judge went slightly beyond the
usual action of court in express
ing his personal disgust with the
crime and said, according to the
daily press, eff this thing had hap
pened in the South you would never
have reached this court room"
Johnson's trial on remaining
charges will begin Monday morn
ing.
Comment among Minneapolis
Negroes indicated small sympathy
among the group for johnson. Most
seemed to think he received his
just desserts. Much conjecture was
heard as to the outcome Of such a
case if Johnson had been of an
other race and the girl Of Negro
extraction.

Fred B. Wright's court this week.
The judge sentenced Chas. Lilies of

the workhouse because the prisoner
wanted to be placed where his lady
love, whom he had offended,
couldn't get to him. She had blood
in her eye and Charlie preferred his

scoring. Harry Basin starred
for Georgetown and led both fives

Wilson Gets Nine TalIies
Bob Beckwith and Larry Kelley,
with 10 points, and Capt. Tommy

Beckwith, Kelley and Wilson
all scored baskets for Yale be-
fore Georgetown got under way.
Miles fed Beckwith the ball for
the first tally. Ben lola sank
one out of two foul shots for
Georgetown, then Beckwith made
two free throws to give Yale an
8 to / lead.
The Ellis continued to forge
ahead and ran their advantage
to 10 to 8. McNeely'S distance
shot, the most brilliant of the
half, followed, then Kelley came
back with a two-pointer for the
home five. With the visitors
speeding up their attack, the
Blue matched points to leave the

to IT.

went at it fast and furious with
Wolcuff almost downed for the

however, at the bell of the second
round and the tables were turned

Boxer, Is
Ineligible For
DukeMatCh

The Catholic University boxing
team will meet its hardest test in
the remainder Of its schedule Sat
urday, when it stacks up against
the powerful Duke mittmen at
Durham, N. C. The Cards are
jubilant from recent victories over
Carnegie Tech and Maryland.
Coach Eddie La Fond of the
Cards is up a tree" in regards
to two divisions of his ring corps.
At present he has no suitable 1876
FOUNDER to toss against the North
Carolinians, and the 165-pound
class representative is still in
doubt.
Rules Bar BunSa
Last week against Carnegie, C..
U. was able to use Gene Misen-
heller, likely looking freshman
prospect, and Joe BunSa. the sen.
sational froSh who scored a triple
knockout in the 165-pound divi-
sion. However, the Cards are box
ing Duke under Southern Confer
ence rules and this means that
freshman performers are inelig-
ible to compete.
La Fond is undecided whether
to use Pete DranginiS or Joe
Glodeck in the 165-pound class.
Both lads have been working out
regularly the past three weeks,
and the ability Of both are such
that the Cardinal mentor may be
obliged to hold a special bout to-
day or tomorrow for the right
to represent c., U. against Duke.
Counted As Winners
The Cards are in fine shape
for the match, and it is not be-
yond reason that they will give
a good account of themselves.
Sully Greco, the 155-pounder,
Ferdinand Rydzewski. light-heavy,
and Leo KatalinaS, the behemoth
heavyweight, are counted upon as
almost sure winners. ConSe-
quently, if Freddy Mix can come
through in the 145-pound class
against his Blue Devil opponent
or Carmen La Sale can upset the
dope, as he did against Maryland
two weeks ago, the chances of q
C. U. victory is far from dull.
