MOST "DRUNKS" PLEAD GUILTY IN CITY COURT

And Records for Seventeen Months Show Most Cases Are "Drunks." A total of 1,400 cases has been tried In city court during the last loventeen months, records show. More than half, or 787 of the cases, ere Just plain "drunks," and In Lhree-fourths of those cases or approximately 492, pleaded guilty. William Scott, arrested on Main street Friday night for intoxication, pleaded guilty In court Saturday morning. "Just Plain Case" "It was Just a plain drunk case." Patrolman Vogelsong told Mayor Robbins. The mayor, without further testimony, assessed a lne of $1 and costs. The entire proceeding took only a few minutes and court adjourned. The case was typical of the procedure In which a person, charged with drunkenness pleads guilty. And over one-half of the cases In court during the last seventeen . months have been cases of "drunks." .And three-fourths of these "drunks" pleaded guilty. The mayor knows the penalty in such cases, without the prosecutor telling him. He has law books before tlm. which it is bis duty to consult . If the need arises. Tries 776 Cases In 1916 . During the entire year of 1916 approximately 776 cases were tried before Mayor Robbins, records show. Of this number there were 434 cases of intoxication more than half the total number of cases tried. It doesn't rcauire a man with a "legally trained" mind to pass Judgment on a case, especially a "drunk," when tho plea Is guilty, men who are opposing the ordinance creating the office of city Judge at an annual salary of $1,2000, argue. Mayor Robbins Saturday turned over to the county the sum of $587, the total amount collected In fines and farfeitures in city court since the first of the year. Say Fees Would Pay Wage. Men who favor the creation of the office of city Judge Bay that the amount In fines collected in city court during a year would equal the $1,200, whioh would be paid a city Judge. The mayor's report to the county treasurer for the first six months proves that this claim is not founded on facts. Following is the record of cases tried during the year 1916 and for each month during the year 1917 up until the present time: Cases tried."Drunks" 1916 776 434 ; January. 1917 . ...r. 68 .. . . 25 I February i . 106 50 'March 77 46 April 81 57 May 112 63 June 110 70 July 80 42 : Total 1400 787 I Other cases are infrequent. There are few cases of assault and battery, ; begging vagrancy. During the entire : year of 1916 only 63 of the cases were ; on charges of assault and battery. VETS TO MEET The Trio County Veterinary assoelation will meet in Cambridge City : next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The exact place of meeting will be announced later.

PLOT TO DELIVER RUSSIA FAILED, SAYS DIPLOMAT

CHICAGO. Aug. 4. Russia's mission to the United States will conclude a two days' visit in Chicago tonight with a banquet tendered by resident Russian Jews, after a day devoted to a review of Chicago's recruits for the new national army, a visit to the stockyards and a public meeting. The mission arrived yesterday and after several, sight-seeing trips attended a meeting at the Kosciusko Monument in Humboldt park at which Ambassador Boris A. Bakhmetieff. chief of the mission, made the principal address. Referring later to the resignation of members of the Russian cabinet, and the breakdown of efforts to bring constitutional democrats into the cabinet Ambassador Bakhmeteiff minimized the Importance of these conditions and caid they were "unavoidable, natural and necessary In the process of the reconstruction of the life of 180,000,000 people in the formation of the new free nation." "The period of absence of disorder which followed the formation of the coalition cabinet, the lack of anarchy, the sweeping advance of Korniloffs armies showed progress and inspired faith," he declared. "I am happy to say that the plot failed. The worst is over. I do not say all the danger is over but the worst is in the past" vs. Autos
