Judge Cleland overruled the attorney
on this objection, also. It being shown
that Johnson had taken out his first

Thla was the flrat day for natural

Municipal Judge Cameron today called
the attention of Chief of Police Grltx
macher to the fact that the time of the
officials of the police court Is unneces
sarily taken up with the cases of-persons
who have been arrested for insuf
ficient cause. Recently several flagrunt
cases of this nature nave come to the
attention of Judge Cameron and it was
for the purpose of putting an end to
such uncalled-for arrests that the Judge
placed the facts before the head of the
police department.
What seemed to be a case In point
came before Judge Cameron this morn-Ina-
when Alexander Meckel was ar
raigned in the police court on a charge
of drunkenneaa. Mr. Mackel is an at
torney of hlsh atandlng In Butte, Mon
tana, and has been in Portland for sev
eral days on a visit to friends and rela
tives. He was out with a party of
friends last evening and it waa past the
hour of midnight when he started for
bis apartmenta at tne Oregon noiei.
While en route to the hotel he waa
stopped by Patrolman Hunter, who In-
alated on being told who he waa, where
he was going and for what purpose he
waa on the street at that hour of the
night When Mackel Insisted on his
right to continue his way undisturbed
he waa placed under arrest and locked
In a cell at the city prison. He waa
denied the use of a telephone to com
municate with his friends and it waa
not until this morning that he was
permitted to deposit $2 cash ball to In
sure his appearance in court.
When Judge Cameron was Informed
of the facts by Mackel and the officer
who -arrested him lie immediately dis
missed the charge and ordered the ball
money returned.
Still another case of a similar nature
was that of. E. G. Scherfer, who was
arrested last night by Patrolmen Hunter
and Tennant on a charge of being out
after hours. He was on his way home
when arrested. He la a young; man of
good character and good family, judge
Cameron declined to iniiict any punish
ment in the case.
