M. lmkwood.
The most important case before him '
was that of Louis Kovacks, who was
charged with intoxication and assault
on Matyas Sch‘omeyer, of Stamfoyd.
The complainant this morning, failed
to put in an appearance, although he
claimed he had been-badly used, his
watch was missing, and it was neces-
any to have three stitches taken in
his eye, where he said Kovacks 'iiad
punched him. Others stated that
Svhomeyer was also drunk and fell
down a night of cellar steps, which
caused the chi and loss of his watch. l
‘Attorney John J. Cuneo appeared for
Kayaks. and the case was continued
.until ' Wednesday morning,
« Stephen Kovacks, who-was arrested
last Tuesday. was again arrested last
night on a charge of drunkenness, The
other case against him was re-open-
ed, and he was found guilty "of both
energies, and sentenced to-flfteen days
in jail with costs in each case. ‘

WASHINGTON. Dec. 28 —Senatora

Washington today from their holiday
recess for the reassembling of Con-
gress tomorrow.
Practically all of the real work ot
the session is yet to be accomplished.
0n the House aide rapid progress: has
begun to be made in clearing up an-
propriation bills and a few general
measures, but in the Senate, in addl~
tion to the supply measures, the en
tire administration legislative program
remains to be disposed of. There the
immigration bill is the unfinished bus-
iness, with prospects of a continuation
of the fight against the measure be-
Icause of the literacy test provision.
President Wilson is opposed to the
literacy-test, and Senator Lewis, of
Illinois, has announced his intention
to oiler an amendment to strike out
the provision altogether. Democratic
and Republican Senators alike who
favor the measure believe that it such
an amendment were Adopted, it would
cause the defeat of the bill.
The supply measures have the right
‘07 way. and it is believed that the im-
migration measure will be displaced
by the District of Columbia apprpo
t! “ion bill.
In the House it is not believed that
much real when" will be made dur-
ing the week because of prospei‘its- of.
