ONE MAN HELD FOR ASSAULT. Joseph Manazan Is Charged With Hitting a Butcher With a Brick. Further echoes of the meat strike troubles were heard in the New Jersey avenue police court today. Several cases were disposed of which were a direct outcome of the crusade against the high prices of meat. Joseph Manazan of 1583 St.

Mark's avenue was arraigned before Magistrate Lynch on a charge felonious assault. Manazan was one of a big crowd that of congregated at Stone and Pitkin avenues, where a protest meeting was being held against the righ prices of meat. Isaac Simonowitz. organizer from Manhattan, addressed the gathering and urged the destruction of meat with kerosene. Bernard Dickman, a wholesale butcher, was listening on the fringe of the crowd.

He made a cynical remark, the burden of which was that Simonowitz ought to get a dollar and a half apiece for putting the butchers out of business. "There's a butcher, now!" cried Simonowitz, and in a moment one of those disturbances which the police have learned to refer to as a "Brownsville rumpus" was in full swing. The women gathered about the harassed butcher and beat him with their umbrellas, while Manazan, it is charged, threw a brick that hit the butcher and he had to be removed to St. Mary's Hospital. The police reserves were called, but before they arrived.

Detectives Graeco and Donnellon had arrested Manazan. He was held in court today. Two women were $10 each for their part in Brownsville meat disturbances. They were Mrs. Ida Kovowitz of 665 Sackman street and Mrs.

Sophia Selpitz of 666 Sackman street. Abrabam Cohen, who has a shop at Lott avenue and Powell street, said that there was a crowd around his place yesterday, threatened him with brickbats and shears. Some of the turbulent spirits forced their way into the store, seized some of the meat and threw it into the street. Cohen sent his little son out to call the police, who arrested the two women. When Dickman emerged from the court room the women clustered about him and shouted imprecations.

They made a commotion even before he was clear of the building and the court attendants were obliged to restore order. The same kind of a scene ensued when Abraham Cohen, the complainant against the women who were fined, left the courthouse. A rush was made for him and the police protected him. Morris Selpitz, husband of Mrs. Selpitz; Becky Cohen of 182 Sutter avenue, and Tobie Montag of 204 Newport avenue, another woman, were all arrested and put in the courthouse pen.

FLATBUSH TAXPAYERS ANGRY Three Associations Protest Against Closing Municipal Court. Three Flatbush taxpayers associations Look action last night on the closing of the Flatbush court during the months of July, August and September and a fourth will do 60 tonight. The associations which made protest last night were the Flatbush Taxpayers Association, the Kensington and Parkville Improvement Association and the Vanderveer Park Taxpayers Association. David Dickson, president of the Flatbush Merchants A8- sociation, has called a special meeting of that body for tonight, at 940 Flatbush avenue, to protest against closing the court. In a strong letter to Mayor Gaynor, James S.

Graham, chairman of the executive committee of the Flatbush Taxpayers Association, denounced the closing of the court as unnecessary and an injustice to several thousands of people. The magistrates have enough time off, with the twelve weeks they get during the year and their four or five hours work a day, said Mr. Graham, and they should do the work they are paid for doing without closing down courts as they have already decided to do, so that they might get extra vacations with the least amount of work. H. Ewald, secretary of the Kensington and Parkville Improvement Association, was directed by that body also to write a letter of protest to Mayor Gaynor cerning the closing of the court.

The essociation also went on record as opposing the change of street names recommended for their section, especially the change in the numbered streets of Flatbush, which will result in endless confusion in mortgages, titles, etc. Dr. E. M. Thompson, A.

W. Cherrington and F. B. Johnson were appointed a committee to watch out for dumping of dirt and rubbish in the streets of Kensington and Parkville and prosecute all offenders. ACCUSED BY GRANDFATHER.

Magistrate Handy was sitting this morning and heard the story of the policeman.

Lawyer Jesse Fuller, was the counsel for the defense. "Have you any other witnesses?" the magistrate asked of the policeman. "Yes, the woman," replied the officer, and he beckoned to her to come to the witness stand. She was perfectly calm as she took her seat and her eyes roved for a second around the courtroom. Then her glance settled on Romano, who was sitting just behind his counsel.

Magistrate Handy noticed Romano make some sort of a motion, and immediately afterward the woman began to shake. She pulled her nerves together and made a dart for the door. Magistrate Handy decided that the policeman's evidence was sufficient and held Romano for the Grand Jury without bail.

A VERY, VERY LIVELY 'CORPSE' Celebrates His Liberation From Hart's Island by Trying to Break Up the Old Home, John Sullivan returned from the "grave" to his home at 1378 Atlantic avenue last night, but he departed not in the spirit of another Enoch Arden. He left with a policeman's firm grip on his collar. For a man who was believed to have died and lain in his grave for over a month John developed qualities of earthly strength which a almost sent his "widow" into a collapse.

It was not the thin, ethereal arm of a wraith, but an arm of good flesh and blood which swept the sideboard bare of glassware and shivered the chinaware against the sides of the house. Mrs. Sullivan looked on with horror as the demon of destruction raged, and when Policeman Interman while the glassware was still tinkling, he looked about with awe and asked: "What time was it when the cyclone swept through?" Sullivan was sent to Hart's in February last for a term of six months on a charge of disorderly conduct. He hadn't been there more than two months when he "died." That 1s, somebody who bore a remarkable resemblance to John passed away, and Mrs. Sullivan was duly notified that she was a widow.

She went to the island, identified the body, and it was buried. Then she went home and mourned. Mrs. Sullivan sat peacefully in her rocker last night, thinking with many a sigh of the days when John was alive. Suddenly a shadow darkened the doorway.

She gasped and then gave a little scream. It was John come back, but he had left his winding sheet behind. Mrs. Sullivan waited to see John float off in a sort of vapor, or to ascend in the general direction of the stars, but while she was waiting for a miracle her best pieces of dinnerware were reduced to broken bits, which littered the floor while two very unghostly feet trod upon them. Finishing up on the china and glassware John devoted himself impartially to his wife, and, she says, assaulted her.

While this was going on Policeman Interman of the Atlantic avenue station wandered in and put a stop to Sullivan's amusement. Even the mirrors had joined the scrap heap on the floor. "I am as innocent as a lembas your honor." said Sullivan when arraigned in the Gates avenue police court today. Then he went on to explain that he was sure he had another man in the house when he returned. The "lamb" was held in $300 ball for examination on the charge of assault and sent to jail for two days on a charge of intoxication.

JUSTICE KELBY SARCASTIC.

Another Case of a Very Young Couple Named Duffy Engages Attention of Court, "People take on the responsibility of marriage and shed it like a garment," said Supreme Court Justice Kelby today, listening to a long list of undefended divorce and annulment cases 1n his part of the Supreme Court. "There should be some regard laws of marriage in this State. "Lately I have been made to think there is no such regard at all person gets married one day and apparently thinks that if everything does not turn out well an annulment can procured the next." The immediate ocasion for these remarks by the court Was the suit for annulment brought by Mrs. Cherudine Crawford of 556 Hemlock street, who 1s 37 years old. Her husband, Robert Crawford, is 77.

The pair were married In Hoboken three years ago, but Mrs. Crawford testifled that she and her aged husband had never lived together after the ceremony. She complained to the court that she had given her husband about $1,000 before the marriage with which to furnish home, and it was when he demanded more money that she refused unless there was a marriage first. After the New Jersey wedding the two continued to live apart and Mrs. Crawford testified that she gave her husband more money, but that he failed to purchase the expected furniture.

Justice Kelby indicated that he would not grant the decree without further evidence, and Mrs. Crawford began to weep. "I wonder what this woman could have expected from a life with a man of 77, but even though he never lived with her or supported her, it seems to me she is not so much concerned over that as over the money she says she has expended on him. I'll look over the papers and reserve decision." Decision was also reserved in the case of Mr. and Mrs.

Charles W. Duffy, who ran away to New Jersey and got married when the husband was but 17 years old. The bride, Lena Duffy, was 19 years old at the time, and neither had the consent of their parents. The husband hails from Bristol, and he said he had never lived with his wife. He now wants an annulment, and the wife does not object.

He was a kindly man, asserts Anderson, and deserves a better fate. But no word has come thus far from the River town, and the only hope to be in the finding of the mother Hudson and sister in Brooklyn. Anderson believes they live well, from what French told him, and would be glad of the chance to take charge of French's body. French was 52 years of age. CONTEST AT 153 Held at the Graduating Exercises It Was Close.

Last evening the graduating exercises of Publio School No. 158, Avenue and Homecrest avenue, took place in the assembly hall of the school, George W. Wilson, of the local school board preeiding. The address of the evening was delivered by Arthur S. Somers, member of the Board of Education, who kept the audience interested for thirty minutes on school subjects.

A remarkably close contest was that of three girl graduates, Marion MacPhail, Doris Kelly and Otille Meiss, who Anished in the order named. During the whole term these three had such a spirited contest that It was dimcult at any time to choose the successful one, until all the marks had been carefully counted; when this was done, the gold medal donated by the principal, J. M. Sheehan, was awarded to Miss MacPhail, This is the second gold medal won by her in this school, the other being given in 1911 by the Washington Society for the best essay on "Life of Washington," and contested for whole school. The contest for the medal in the boys' department was quite as spirited and was won by Warren Huntley.

The other amusing features of the evening beside the awarding of the diplomas and medals, were songs and dances by the pupils and a short sketch by a few of the graduating class, all of which were received with much applause. CHAMPION TEAM DINED. Members of P. S. No.

Every one of the boys who had done so much toward bringing the elementary school baseball championship to Brooklyn was present, and they had the time of their lives.

Each boy's place at the table was designated by a card with his position on it, and some peculiarity of his playing was mentioned.
