Mrs. Belle Ward, dhetges with
seiling intoxicating liquor, ap-

“Almost anybody would rather

| “Hyer since I have been on this

| on this charge,” remarked Magis-

ruling now.”

“This is working a hardship on
the Salvation Army where women
prisoners are housed and I do not
think Mr. Williams should ask
for such a high figure,’ went on
Mr. Patmore.

“It is not my fault that the
Salvation Army is put under
hardships but the fault of the city

‘“‘T have ruled,” from the magis-

“Il am not satisfied,” went on
tir. Palmore, “but if your wor-
sip does not wish to hear argu-
ment before ruling, all right.”

“I have heard this argument
dozens of times before and it is
only wasting my time. I don't
want to hear it, Mr. Patmore.”
