Mayor Riddle, of Atlanllo City, tins no
pleasant feelings today for tho judiciary

The Philadelphia Judge who has won
the hearty dlsllko of Atlantic City's chief
executive , is Judge Knowles, of the
Municipal Court. Ho called down tho
Mayor yesterday because the latter was
making "too much noise" In his court
room. At the tlmo, ho did not know that
the subject of his reprimand was tho
Mayor of Atlantic City; but later, when
Mayor Riddle's identity wns revealed to
him, Judge Knowles Raid:
"It would have made no difference. I
trented him Just the same as anybody else
who would disturb the courts In that
manner." Mayor Riddle. Is stilt nuch riled today
at being reprimanded In public like n
naughty school boy.
"I went Into the courtroom," ho said,
"with Rlchnrd Y. Cook, president of the
Guarantco Trust Company, nnd Alexander
D, Irwin, Jr., of Irwin nnd Lelghton, tn
pay I2G.000 to Attornoy Morris Wolf on
my buildings that nro being completed tn
Atlnntlo'Clty.
"We had Just begun to talk to Mr. Wolf,
who Is secretary of the Guarantco Trust
Company, when tho Judgo ordered us to sit
down. I turned and started to take off my
overcoat when tho Judge called to mo again
to sit down. I replied very politely that
I would sit down ns soon ns I removed my
overcoat. Then two tipstaves rushed up
and grabbed Mr. Irwin by tho arms nnd
hustled him out Into the corridor.
'"They were about to Iny hands on mo
when I told them I would go out pence
ably. They told mo that If I didn't go tho
Judgo would scntenco mo for contempt of
court, nnd I really believe ho would have
done It If I had been wearing nn old suit
of clothes. Such men ns this Judgo make
nnnrchlats."
Mr". Wolfo refused to comment on tho
case, "I nm a friend," he said, "of both
Mayor Riddle nnd Judgo Knowles, nnd
I'm going to stny neutral."
