IN POLICE COURT

Greeks Were Fined For Dancing on Sunday

BYRON QUOTED BY JUDGE HADLEY

    Judge Hadley harked back to the poetic mind of Byron today and quoted a few lines from the poet's Greek song.
    George Pappas, James Iarros, Arthur Snapole, and John Mahhalos were charged with dancing on the Lord's day. The arresting officers Geroux and Fox said the defendants danced the whole day long. They further stated that the defendants  had been warned to stop and had promised to do so, but continued with renewed vigor. The defendants were fined $10 each. The lines quoted by Judge Hadley were:
"Ye have the Pyrrhic dance as yet-
 Where has the Pyrrhic phalanx gone?
