SPEEDER PAYS PENALTY Cashing of Canceled Check and Sloney Then Puts Two Be hind Jail Bars. Hiram Brines, negro, and John Fisher, Ray Nelson and Andrew Mil ler, white, otarted a little game of "African golf at Second and Pine streets Monday evening with the re sult that they appeared In court yes terday to, answer to charges of gam bling. The game was raided, it is eaid, when the "bones" were rolling the fastest, to the tune of "come seven, come eleven." "Don't you know that you are tak ing your lives in your" hands when you shoot craps with a negro?" Judge Deich asWed of Brines' companions. "My gosh, they took me for 30 cents," chimed in Brines. The Judge continued the case for sentence, and admonished the "boys" to go inside somewhere the next time they started a "social" game so they wouldn't be such a temptation to the police. "You're working men and I don't want to take your money away from you In fines," he told them. "I guess you have been punished enough, any way." 11. S. Farrell, business man and politician, appeared in municipal court, camouflaged in an old suit of clothes, when he answered to a charge of speeding. He failed to "get by" with his incog however, for Deputy City Attorney Lansing Immediately "spotted" him. Judge Deich discharged him on the charge as he was arrested in the out lying districts where he thought there was no great danger. Fred Munce paid the penalty for enjoying the pleasures of teaching a fair companion to drive a machine on Union avenue the preceding night. Munce was apparently too much oc cupied in the driver, whose name was not divulged in court, to notice the speedometer. The result was that Motorcycle Patrolman Abbott over took them going 29 miles an hour. Munce assumed responsibility for the speed and appeared in court. "I will fine you $5 this time," Judge Deich told him. "Twenty-nine miles Is too fast on Union avenue, espe cially when the driver is learning to dri ve." The judge told him to select a less frequented street in giving automo bile lesson In future. How a Christian Endeavor picnic party was given the thrill of an arrest on "unlucky" Friday, the 13th, was revealed when Henry Kern appeared In court yesterday to answer to the charge of driving with an opea cut out. Kern it seems was driving to a Christian Endeavor picnic with a party of picnickers in his truck when he was stopped by Motorcycle Patrol man Bhaylor. Kern declared he had no cut-out on his machine, and so could not have been guilty. According to the police man he was "sassy." Judge Deich decided-that the driver had been sufficiently punished and so discharged him. Ev-do-kin-ov!M called out Deputy City Attorney Lansing in attempting to read off the name of Alex Evdo kinov. the first on the docket at the opening of municipal court yester day. "What are you trying to say?" asked Acting Judge Deich. Evdokinov and a companion by the name of Harry Constantino got mixed up in a little high finance which re sulted In their landing in the toils of the police. Constantino was do ing some janitor work around the establishment of Wakefield, Fries & Co. He managed to get hold of a bunch of canceled checks, it is said, and about $5 or $6 in money, which bad been left in a desk in the office. Constantino and Evdokinov then went on a celebration after first cash ing one of the canceled checks. Evdokinov was sent- to jail for 100 days on a charge of vagrancy, and Constantino for 180 days for larceny. L HARVEST LIKELY GROWING WEATHER DEVELOPS IRCIT AT HOOD RIVER. .
