"It's true I took this gent's lid," said Miss Kelly to Judge Mogan, "but I never intended to steal it. He wouldn't dance with me and he wouldn't set 'em up, and just in fun I took his dicer and| scooted with it, thinkin' he would follow me, but he didn't, so I hid the cady behind the piano. When he made such a roar about his cover I went to get it for him. but some tart who had a spite at me had swiped it. and there you are." "But what about the disappearance of this complainant's hat?" the Judge inquired. "Well, what have I been a-tellin' you about?" was the response in net tled tone. Patrolman Joy enlightened the court by explaining that "lid," "dicer," "cady" and "cover" are Barbary Coast synonyms for hat, and then Miss Kelly requested that the case be continued, as she believed she could identify the "tart" who "swiped" the "lid," a re quest which was graciously acceded to. J. W. Slattery and Frank H. Seawell, charged with having been drunk last Sunday afternoon in Union Square Park, told Judge Conian they were druggists' clerks, and, being aware that adulterated liquors are sold in saloons, they purchased two sealed bottles of whisky of unquestioned purity and betook themselves to where they could sip the liquor in comfort and were so sipping when Patrolman Riehl scooped them in. They will be sentenced for having been drunk in a public place. • • • • William McConnell. alias "Billy the Boxer." was perched atop of a tall barber pole planted in a sidewalk at Kearny and Jackson streets when Pa trolman Nelson requested him to de scend and in response was told to re tire to a sultry region mentioned in Scripture. Surrounding the pole was a crowd that unanimously approved Mr. McConnell's note of defiance and the applausive cheers Impelled him to say and do things which he might have left unsaid and undone if he had been sober. He slid down the pole and nimbly "shinned" up again, sug- , gestive of a toy monkey on a stick, and then dangled his feet tauntingly within the officer's reach, drawing them up when they were grabbed at. A dila ; tory upward movement of one of his . leg? came near to his undoing right ! there and then, for the man beloy clutched a shoe- and tugged and pulled until a bursting of the fastening left it in his hand. "Come down and save trouble for me and extra punishment for your self." said Hie poUoemait. "Come up an' git me!" said Mr. Mc- Connell. The capture wu finally accom plished with the aid of a chair, which the officer stood uiion and vraa thus led to obtain a firm grip on his prisoner. ■ You re a regular cut-up," said Judge Mogan to the defendant, "but you canted your^i"ke to a point of indiscretion when* you compelled the complainant to climb after you. As you are charged with vagrancy, when the charge ought to be that of re sisting an officer, I cannot give you the punishment you deserve. However, you will be deprived of opportunity to amuse the masses for some time to come. Sentence to-morrow." Mr. McConnell. it was explained, earned his sobriquet of "Billy the Boxer" by playfully tapping with hie fists and then -adroitly dodging strange wayfarers on the Barbary Coast, much to the edification of the denizens of that delectable district. Daniel < "on way and Harry McAuley. classified as "wine bums," were vio lently assaulting Albert B. Freites, similarly categoried, when Patrolman Alpers arrested them on Commercial street, between Montgomery and Kearny. Mr. Freites told Judge Fritz that he was feeding a hungry dog with a beefsteak which a humane restaura teur had given him for that purpose when the two defendants, after chiding him for so disposing of food that would be gladly accepted by human beings, fell upon and beat him. The defendants, however, contradicted Mr. Freites' statement and averred that they smote him because he was eating the steak himself instead of doing with it as they had overheard its donor in struct him to do.

POPE PLEADS FOR WAR'S END He Begs for Peace to Stop the Terrible Struggle Being Waged in Orient SECRET CONSISTORY Cardinals Receive Pontiff, Who Refers to Persecution of Roman Catholic Church ROMK, March 27.— The Pope held a j secret consistory this morning without creating any Cardinals, merely pre conlzing Bishops. The only American was the Right Rev. Thomas F. Hickey, who was eonnrmed as Coadjutor | Bishop of Rochester, N. Y. Monsignor Zobico Racciet was confirmed as aux iliary Bish.ip of Montreal, Quehfc. All the Cardinals met in the hall of the consistory of the Vatican, where they received the pontift. Ths Pope then delivered an allocution and imme diately afterward proceeded to the pre conization of Bishops. The allocution in moderate terms deplored the perse ! cuticn from which the church suffered in some countries and complained of re ! cent events in France, where, besides 1 tne diplomatic rupture between the're public and the papacy, the statesmen are preparing for the separation of church .'nd state, for which, the pontiff asserted again, the Vatican was not responsible, as has been alleged. The Pope also referred to the perse | cution of the church in some of the I South American republics, especially iin Nicaragua and Ecuador, citing the laws passed by the last named repub lic against the church providing for the confiscation of the property of the re ligious orders, interfering with the lib erty of the religious associations and putting obstacles in the way of the ap pointment of new Bishops. To offset this the pontiff mentioned the fact that the arbitration between Chile, and Peru had been entrusted to the papal representative, whfch had caused the Holy See much satisfaction. Another passage of the allocution says: "Among other things, it grieves our souls that the horrors of war are now devastating the extreme East with fire, blood and death. Oh, what tears are shed there! Those who represent on earth him who was the autnor of the gospel of peace, we ardently beg may receive from God inspiration to advise princes and peoples to come to peace. So many and so great are the evils that aflliet the human race everywhere that there is no need to have recourse to war to make things worse." The allocution ends with recalling the recent jubilee of the Immaculate Con ception and praying the Virgin to in tercede for the joys of peace that are so much desired. ORLEANS ISSUES MANIFESTO.

PARIS, March 27.— The situation in Morocco causes serious apprehensions in official quarters, and it is understood that the French Minister at Fez has been requested to bring to a speedy conclusion the negotiations whereby he seeks to secure the Sultan's approval of France's policy in administering the country. In the meantime Emperor William's proposed visit to Morocco promises to cause the Sultan to delay arriving at a decision and to encour age a demonstration against the French policy. There is a growing be lief in high quarters that the German Emperor's visit is coincident with Ger many's asserting strong claims rela tive to Morocco.
