The dragnet was thrown out as instructed and before recorder's court convened at hoon two victims of thc chief's edict had been bagged. During the early after noon three more suspects were round ed up. Besides that, dozens of char acters suspected of being vagrants were frightened into flight by the blue coats who made a round of the sec tions of the city where loafing is pop ular. Cub (that's Ute way the name ls spelled on the police court dockets, and lt is said to be an abbreviation of "Cobber," synonym for peanut) Puller and Walter Williams arc the names of the vlitims of the dragnet yesterday morning. Upon being brought before the recorder they fail ed to produce evidence sufficient to convince the judge that they were not habitual loafers, and as a result His llnnor required of nach that he pay a rino of $15 or serve 20 days on the gang. Early in the afternoon three others suspected of being in the same class as Gub and Walter were placed under arrest. Their names are J. P. Cal houn, Nick Williams and Dock Wil liams Their cases will be a" red when recorder'a court convenes at noon today. Several police privates made round? of the c-ty during the day in search of vagrants, and while comparative ly few were arrested dozens were given the fright of their lives. In speaking of the matter yesterday, policemen stated that on several oc casions as they passed through the outskirts of the city hey would look up-and see a negro doing a marathon< across the landscape. The word had evidently gone out. the police believe, that war had been declared ou vag rants, and when a negro loafera raw a. blue coat approaching from afar would piece the greatest distance pos. solble between himself and the of ficer.
