CORDER S
COURT
Sam Watson Tried on Statu
tory Offense Judgment
Withheld
The morning's session ofrRecorder's
court vras featured by the trial of Sam
Watson, young white man under in
dictment on a charge of fornication
and adultery, although chief interest
centered in the naming of trial dates
for the several young white women
who were brought in by the police be
fore day Sunday morning on charges
of vagrancy. Because of the unusual
heaviness of the docket disposition
of all cases in one day was a physi
cal impossibility. The afternoon is
beine devoted to the trial of Willie
McAllister, Mag White and Mag Mc
Arthur, mulatto girls, on charges of
vagrancy. The evidence as adduced
is expected to be interesting to the
morbidly inclined at least. The court
room was packed throughout the day
All evidence in the Watson case,
which was of a police nature, was in
before court recessed for lunch, but
ludsment was withheld for the time
being. It may be handed down dur-
Ins the afternoon; certainly not later
tban tomorrow. The cases charging
Nellie Russell with Keeping a disor
derly iouse, and Dorothy Lane with
vagrancy, were continued until Tues
day. Similar action was taken as
regards the case of Agnes Carson,
charging vagrancy. Ethel Coley,
Couise Valentine and Helen Hart, the
first-mentioned charged with keeping
a disorderly house, and the two others
with vagrancy, will be tried Wednes
day morning.
Moses Sharpless felt the hand of
the law in no uncertain manner, draw
ing a Joint road sentence of nine
months following conviction on two
counts of larceny. In the case charg'
ing. Marie Lewis, young white wom
an, with vagrancy, her . prayer for
judgment was continued upon pay
ment of the cost. The Lewis girl, ac
cording to the evidence, was only a
transient and was allowed to go her
way.
Nol pros was asked for by the State
in the case charging James Bullard
with larceny. Tillman Ahrens, white,
the same route. He was- arrested
Sunday morning in the general raid
by the police when visitation of both
the southern and northern sections of
the city was made.
William McClown was fined $50 for
carrying a concealed weapon and $25
for resisting an officer. He paid the
costs also in both cases. Eddie Davis
was fined $25 and cots following con
viction on a charge of assaulting a
female.
The case charging Irving Smith and
'John Long with larceny was contin
ued to April 3. Mack Taylor was
made to pay the cost following con
viction on a charge of violation of the
ordinance requiring all unrestrained
and vicious dogs to be muzzled. Three
unfortunates were up on drunk
charges and were required to pay the
cost. '"''iillfj
The raid that resulted in the arrest
of the above-mentioned young women,
both white and colored, and also the
arrest of Ahran was made by mem
bers of the police-department working
under the direction of Acting Qhie
Woolard and Councilman James Hall,
commissioner of public safety. They
were brought to the police station in
' the patrol, the first batch arriving
about 3 o'clock, and additional squads
thereafter. They took their arrests
good-naturedly and furnished bond
for their appearance in court. These
bonds were continued upon postpone
ment of their cases.
HI
I
COMMEN
T ON BATTLE
Declare ;That the Offensive
Was Carried Out According
to Plans
Amsterdam. Sunday, ManSh 24. De
scribing the first day. of the battle on
the Western front, the correspondent
of the Vossische Zeitung says that
the British .artillery was . held with
"uncanny precision, and its counter
efforts became ever fainter and less
systematic. ,
"The British strewed their shells
without system over the wide zone of
attack," he adds. "Our guns; support
ed by cannons and howitzers of our
Austro-Hungarian allies, had cleared
the way for the infantry. The Ger
mans storming troops swung over the
ramparts punctual to the minute
which had been fixed weqks ago ,and
made a great push into tne enemy
territory on the same ground over
which the Von Hindenburg retreat
took place a year ago.
"The attack westward now went
forward with the old plan and offen-
sivft sDirit of 1914. Our battalions
stormed over' the ground and broke
t.hA enemv resistance along1 the entire
line. It is declared unanimously that
the British fought bravely, but their
leadership was not equal to the mighty
blow. Bv evenine: the British front
had been pushed back on the whole
broad battlefield.
"A thick mist durinsr the morning
hours considerably disturbed our op
erations. Curtains of mist gathered
so thickly that the men serving the
field artillery which advanced imme
diately behind the infantry could
hardly see their horses. The batter
ies had to take their new objectives
under fire without direct observation
and the infantry laboriously had to
win positions and sectors in the fog
and without methodical preparation."
ZEPPELIN OBSERVED
HEADED FOR CAIRO
Inhabitants of Egypt's Captital
Are Warned to Keep Lights
- . Dim
London, March 25. The inhabitant8
of Cairo, Egypt, were informed oflk
cially last Thursday, according to a
Reuter dispatch, that a hostile airship
had been observed over the coast.
Thef public was warned of the possi
bility of air raids and ordered to ob
serve the necessary lighting regula
tions.
An official statement issued in Ath
ens on Saturday says that on Thurs
day Zeppelins passed over the island
of Crete, traveling in a northerly di
rection.
Cairo, the capital and most popu
lous city of Egypt, has been in no
danger from air raids s?ince he Turks
were driven bacK from the Suez ca
nal. The Turkish lines in Palestine
are the nearest enemy points to Cal
ro and they are 320 miles northeast
An enemy airship might also come
across the Mediterranean from, the
southeast coast of Asia Minor. The
distance by that route would be 460
miles one way. A German airship' re
cently attacked Naples, Italy, after a
trip of 300 miles from the Austrian
coast along the Adriatic.
HOLLAND TO REFUSE
GRAIifOR ITS SHIPS
Dutch Cabinet Said to have
formally Declined the
Allies Offerr
London, March 5. The Dutch cab
inet is said to have decided Sunday
: to send the Allied powers a formal re
fusal of their offer of grain in return
for Dutch ships, a dispatch from The
Hague to the Daily Mail says.
The original compact for the use of
Dutch ships by Great Britain and the
United States called for the placing at
the disposal of Holland of 100,000 tons
of foodstuffs.
Dutch ships were to carry this food.
