J. MAHER TOPPLES FROM THE WATER CART AND GOES DOWN TO MEREDITH ROUGH HOUSE CASE GETS AN AIRING. Police court was a busy place this morning. There were cases of all kinds to be tried and Mayor Zimmerman was actively engaged for a few minutes in banding out fines. Earl Huntington's longing for jail life got the better of him last. evening and the most arrested man in Wayne county was found on South Tenth street about 10 o'clock, walking in bunches, by Patrolman Hebble. Earl was taken in tow and in the city court this morning- - caused considerable amusement -by attempting to prove an alibi. He said that he had swallowed a few tall ones, but was home in bed. He was fined $1 and costs, this being the first offense under the present administration. Huntington has smashed all of his previous records by remaining out of jail for 23 days. He declared this morning that if given the opportunity he would get out of town and stay out for at least a year, but there was nothing doing in the entreaty line and the man went down. Maher Breaks Pledge. James Maher drew a stiff fine for Intoxication. He was arrested last evening and In the city court this morning was assessed $25 and costs and given an additional jail sentence of 30 days. Maher was pinched for a similar offence on February 24. At that time, however, he begged to pitifully to be released that leniency was shown him. , , He was told that if he would stay on the water wagon for one year he would not be prosecuted. Maher promised, but the task apparnetly proved too difficult for him and he fell off yesterday. For giving liquor to Cora Stevenson, colored, a minor, John West, also colored, drew a fine of $20 and costs. The man gave the liquor to the girl on Sunday at his home above 179 Fort Wayne avenue. " Had a. Rough House. Jason Wilkins, colored, was arreste3 last evening and slated for intoxication. He was released In the city cour this morning. Wilkins became Involved in a dispute with his brother-in-law, Henry Adams, a restaurant keeper on South Sixth street, late last night. He claims- that his wife was chasing around with , a man by the name of Griffin? This aroused the ire Of Adams, who came to the defense of his sister, and the two men engaged In a rough and tumble, resulting In Wllkins's forcible ejection from the restaurant Wilkins introduced several witnesses this morning to prove that he was not Intoxicated. Sold Booze After Hours. For selling liquor after hours, Saturday night, Clarence Corey, bar keeper in Killian Hartman's saloon, was assessed a fine of $10 and costs this morning. - Corey sold a half pint of whiskey to Charles Doren a few minutes after 11 o'clock. The fine was paid.., :,.' ", . ? - ' ,- -. The assault and battery charge against Frank Camden, filed in the "city court, has been dismissed and Prosecuting Attorney Ladd will file a charge against the man in the circuit court. Camden is alleged to have engaged In a fight with Link Wiggins on the evening of March 12, on North F street and Inflicted a severe cut with a knife on the face of the latter. In event Wiggins' condition justifies it, It is probable that a more serious charge than assault and battery will bo filed.

DIAMOND CHIPS Walter Brodie is coach of the Prince ton freshmen ball nine. Ralph Glaze made a three bagger off Rube Marquard Wednesday in the New York-Indianapolis game at Waco. When Bell of Brooklyn and Bell of the Giants are pitching against each other, what a merry tinkling will be heard ! Bill Bradley saw Bob Bescher do some sprinting at Hot Springs and vows the Cincinnati player Is likely to break the base-running record. Pat Dougherty left last night for Hot Springs, where he will train for two weeks before joining the Sox at Oklahoma City. Cy Seymour is footsore already. Cy is surely getting into the hard luck class; when he isn't laid off he is laid up. Harry Tuthill, the Detroit club's trainer, is having a specially constructed harness made for Ty Cobb to protect his legs and thighs when sliding for the bases. Tom Madden, the outfielder secured by Stallings from Utica, is reported to be a ringer for Willie Keeler in appearance and action. "Wild" Bill Donovan is strong in his recommendation of Beckendorf, the young backstop, who has done so little work for Detroit the past two years. The St. Louis Americans have released Truesdaye to Sioux City and Corridon to Keokuk. Both have been training for the position of second baseman. This leaves that place open to Olson, formerly of Louisville. Some years ago there was a catcher with St. Louis named Joe Otten. He was a good ball player, but too sensitive, and finally gave up the game because the bleacherites kept insisting that his last name began with R. Pugnacious players have a bad outlook in the American association. Five of the association's eight umpires are six-footers, and in addition to that President Chivington will take them for a week's trip to West Baden, Ind., to get them into physical condition. Jake Welmer, if he sticks with the Giants, will add another odd character to the roster. The handsome lefthander is moody and erratic, though not dissipated, and is extremely "sot In his ideas." Clark Griffith will shift Mike Mitchell to center field to aid his batting. The "Old Fox" says the sunfield interferes with the. big fellow's hitting. This is all right for Mike, but how about his luckless successor? Then, too, Mike t Kelly, Willie Keeler, Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner, all sunfield players, have won batting championships. "Bullet Jack" Thoney of the Boston Red Socks, the champion hard-luck player of the world,- dislocated his right arm yesterday afternoon and will be out of uniform for six weeks at "EJtOMO CUmOOLr that la

least and probably forever. The ac

cident occurred at Hot Springs, Ark., a few minutes before play with the Cincinnati Reds was called. Thoney had been throwing to Nlles in practice, and the way he burned them in, in his old overhand style, awakened the attention of other players, Who began to. congratulate him. - CHESS EXPERT COMING. Schlechter, Famous Master, Plans to Visit America In May. Next to Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Carl Schlechter, the unobtrusive Viennese master, occupies the central position in the world of chess today. His stand against the champion in the great match recently concluded at Berlin is unparalleled in the annals of match play since the late William Stelnitz was dethroned by the present incumbent. Although Dr. Lasker retains the title of world's champion, and, in view of the fact that he evened the score at the eleventh hour, commands the same respect he ever did, Schlechter ranges up alongside of him an impressive figure, greater than that of any of the other masters living . today. Dr. Lasker himself has been generous enough to acknowledge the greatness of his recent antagonist. According to a cable received from Berlin, Schlechter contemplates coming to this country in May for a tour. He has been here but once before, when he came to play in the international masters tournament in 1904. BRITISH P0L0ISTS COMING. English Team to Play In Point Judith (N. Y.) Tourney.

BUNKOES A GERMAN WOMAN ALLEGED TO HAVE SECURED $10 FROM HER ON FALSE PRETENSES, THEN WORKED ANOTHER CROOKED DEAL. Further evidence of the allaged crookedness of Henry D. Wlliams, alias Henry D. Williamson, the man who was arrested about three weeks ago on charges of embezzlement, is brought to light by an affidavit recently filed charging that the man obtained money under false pretesnes from Mrs. Louisa Rusche. Several days prior to his arrest, Williams visited the home of Mrs. Rusche, on South Fifth street and represented himself to be a collector for Dr. Ste venson. He declared that he was sent to collect a bill of $40. Mrs. Rusche stated that 6he was unable to pay the total amount and Williams replied that if she would pay $10 he would call it square. The money was paid, but the next day, however, Williams again visited the woman and stated that he had made a mistake in the receipt he had given her the day before. He then tendered a promissory not for $15 on the First National bank, in Mrs. Husche's name, made payable to himself. Mrs. Rusche, who is an aged German resident, and who can neither read or write, madeher mark to the note thinking that it was the usual proceedure in such cases. Williams obtained the money from the bank without difficulty. He will be tried next month for embezzlement In event the prosecution fails to secure a conviction on that charge, the man will be tried on the charge recently filed, of obtaining money under false pretenses.

NEARLY HITS A FREIGHT

BUT THE ENGINEER AVERTED A CATASTROPHE SIMILAR TO COLLINSVILLE TRAGEDY BY HIS QUICK ACTION. Passengers on Pennsylvania train No. 47, which arrives in Richmond at 7:25 in the evening, little realized what a narrow escape they had from a serious wreck yesterday until they arrived in this city and learned of the circumstance. When the train left Cincinnati at 4:43 o'clock and was perhaps about 5 miles from the Queen City, iu ran into an open switch on which was a cut of freight cars. The train was running at a rate of about SO miles an hour when it took the siding. However the cool judgment of t'ae engineer, who applied the air immediately, and threw on the emergency brake, when he realized what had taken place, probably prevented a catastrophe rivaling that of the Collinsville, O., disaster, which happened In the same manner. The train was stopped about 50 feet from the rear car of the freight. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.
