Tterday session of police court TTfus accomplished with considerable dif ficulty owing to spectators disturbing the peace and dignity of the court. The proceedings opened, as usual, at but hardly had things started when trie scaffolding on which painters are coating the celling In the corridor gave way, as Judge Foster was administering a lecture of reproach to a nerve-racked Inebriate. The gentleman, who whs tnk Inc In the talk with a few tears and considerable trembling, let forth a yell and broke the world's standing high Jump record as the scaffolding crashed to the floor with a tremendous din. Sev eral moments were required In quieting him for further speech and the even tenor of the morning was resumed. Scarcely had affairs got under way UTien a colored culprit with his lady irlend. who were waiting trial, started ail argument In the rear of the court room, which necessitated Sergeant Glov er particular attention. Once again duties were taken up nnd for an hour pibcccdlngs continued admirably. About this time, however, a large Tliorilan cat, mascot of the police depart TOtnt, strolled leisurely Into the court room and curled up on a chair well to the, front of the room for a little, beauty Aeep. Judgej Julius Smith Cooley climbed tlTC stairs from below and with bows and hods to his friends made his way ma jestically to the magistrate's seat, where after consulting with Judge Foster he ought out a spot to rest himself. He overlooked the cat, however, and when he deposited his 204 pounds of nvolrdu-' Pols with a relieving sigh directly upon the reclining flguro of Thomas, "pan demonium reigned supreme." Tom and the judge then had a. brief Sut most feeling duet, and It Is still a jUMtlon as to which one reached the exit first. Tom failed to return, but the tudge cams back only long enough to tct his hat. Tom. Is uninjured, white his disturber sustained lacerations and a wounded dig altv.

W. II. Green made the motion at the weekly meeting and It was unanimously carried, president Hastings nppolnted F. H. Myers, S. P. Dostwlck and L D. Spauldlng as the committee to present the matter to the charter writers. The gas franchise or the water board's rulings were not discussed, except for a. statement by C, F. Harrison that any politician who favored tho passage of the gas frartchlso "is committing political suicide." A report was made on the boiler ordinance by D. C. PatUison who an nounced he believed the ordinance to require expert firemen for all boilers and furnaces would be defeated. There is no purpose In It, he said, except to Increase the number of Jobs and the salaries of firemen. The- exchange adopted a resolution bf the Mississippi River Levee association urging congress to legislate Immediately for flood protection as proposed in the plans of United States engineers. This resolution Is opposed to the Maxwell resolution which was recently, turned down by the Commercial club, in that It stands against Maxwell's plan of a system or Irrigation canals and reser voirs.

Foster of Omaha Were in conference In Fos ter's office yesterday with regard to the alleged Irregularities In the business of the produce exchange as revealed In tho investigation of the high cost of living last winter by a committee, of which both these men were members. They feel that the attorney general Is slow In acting upon the recommendation made to him after the report ot the com mittee was made. Tho house recom mended that the attorney general pro ceed at once against tho produce ex change to show that they are acting Il legally In some of their systems of black listing retailers nnd In other operations. Mr. Snyder Is on his way to Kansas City and expects to return the first ot next week.

One case which Is in their records Is that of a carload of apples that was traced from the orchard Just across the Nebraska line In Missouri. The farmer received 45 cents a barrel for them. He sold them to an Omaha man, who In turn sold them to a speculator' at a profit. This speculator testified that he had the carload of ap ples about twenty minutes and without handling ''them or doing a. bit of work, resold them at an advance of 15 cents per barrel. The apples' were traced to the consumer, where It was found that the consumer had paid 2,50 pcry barrel for them.
