LIQUOR CASES NOLLIED.
Judge Norton Explains Why the Whisky In
dictments Have Never Been Prosecuted.

Several cases against liquor dealers for vio-
lating the Ii o'clock law pending in the Criminal
Court for some time have been nollied. This
action was taken, as explained by Judge Nor
ton, on account of insuffciency in the afidavits
''They come before me as if they were de
novo," said the Judge, ''upon the afidayits
on which the trials were had before the
mayor. In all of these affidavits
the selling between the hours of IL o'clock p. NJ
and o'clock A. NJ, of quantity of liquor is
charged The insuffciency consists in the fact
that no quantity is specified. 1t might be a
barrel, or a quart or gill, but as to this there
was no determinate charge. In the Hedderich
case the same defect existed and I would have
sustained motion to quash in that action had
not the parties consented to my amending the
affidavit by inserting gill, instead of an indef
mite quantity. AS tc the cases in question, a
night policeman had been present to testify from
o'clock A. M. to 3 o'clock p NJ, without
the prosecuting witnesses appearing, when
l said that rather than have any further delay I
would sustain a motion toduash acknowledgements.
in the Matter case, where motion to quash was
made and sustained upon like insuficiency of
charge. The prosecuting attorney took the AFT
davit, and, comparing it with others, said that as
all were open to the same objection he would
consent to the entry of nolle being made. There
are other cases to come up, and these will be dis
posed of IN like manner, as the law is specific in
regard to the quantity of liquor sold after IL
o'clock

May Redeem Their Past Record.

The general passenger agents seem now to
have taken hold in business-like manner to
Straighten out the snarls rate wars, etc., which
they have been engaged in for months past.
The Abolishing of outside scalping Offices and the
paying of commissions to scalpers in Chicago
wip do much toward removing the evils which
have brooded over the passenger service for
many months past In commenting upon their
action, the results of which went into effect
yesterday, the Chicago Times says: 'It has
been the habit TO sneer and fout at the efforts of
khe passenger agents in their endeavors to
accomplish something that would contribute 10
the stability of rates, and perhaps Justly, as the
committe has in the past INDUCED in a good
deal Of childs play or rather in their desire to
gEk mess for their roads and in their ieal-
cusy Of each other their proceedings and resolu-
tions, when tested by operation, proved TO be
insincere. Without reference to the good policy
advisability of forming pool that portion of
their action IN cutting off commissions will
strike everyone as being wise and proper 1t
was constant drain upon railroad revenues,
which, while fomenting undue rivalry, rate
cutting and other evils, contributed nothing
created nothing, and as one roads commissions
were offset by another, diverted nothing. 1t
was ali loss and no gain, and could not be de-
Tended from any standpoint The experiment
Of these Western roads will be watched with
much interest. and its influence passenger
earnings duly noted. Those best qualified to
judge assert shat it will add 80 per cent. to the
gross revenues"
