fifty-four men named In the forty-six

ments returned last night were granted
a reduction In ball today by Judge Rich
ard Hurke In the criminal court to $2,NW

demanded.
The reduction In ball applied only to
the men who appeared In court to answer
the charges against them, the Judge
Intimating that he would not consider a
