AN IMPORTANT issue.
Have the Police Right to Inter-
fere With Merchants?
J. W. Raphael, The Enterprising Young Mer-
chant, Arrested for Making
Great Display.

That judicious advertising Is the cause of
life in business is shown by the great run
upon the magnificent clothing ard furnish
Ing goods establishment of Raphael's Since
the doors of their immense repository for
elegant bargains were thrown open TO the
pubic night and day great crowd of eager
purchasers has hovered within or without
the store awaiting an OPP: ortunIty to enter
and examine the beautiful display of ap-
parel.
So attractive and novel have the immense
show-windows been ornamented that spec.
tators constantly assemble to admire the
displays. At all times these big windows
have presented a spectacle more dazzling
and enchanting than the scenery or per-
formance upon any stage in the city.
Mr.. j. w. Raphael was ares ted on a
charge of violating section $40 Of the Penal
Code In causing public street to be OBJ
structed, and complaint, reading as ap-
pended. was filed against the enterprising
merchant:
"Wilifully and unlawfully did obstruct the
free passage and use in the customary man.
ner OF certain street and highway there
situate, TO wit, Kearny street, between
Post and Geary streets, by then and there
causing number of persons, to wit. more
tban on persons TO, assemble and congregate
On SAID kearny street, between Post and
Geary, in front OF the premises known as
., ii, Is and 10 Kearny street, thereby COM
uniting and maintaining public nuisance. !"
When Mr.. Rapae's case came up Yesterday
morning 10 Department Of the Police
Court his attorney, George A. Knight, made
motion 10 dismiss the complaint on the
ground that 1t did not set forth sufficient
facts TO constitute a public offense.
Judge Love said the question was one of
great Importance to merchants aud one that
he desired TO have argued at length. so
the time for arguing the motion was set for
O'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Raphael has instructed his attorney
to fight the case TO the bitter end. and IL
necessary to take it to the United States
Supreme Court. He is determined to ascer-
tain II he has a legitimate right to advertise
lis business. More than this, he saws he
does not propose 10 be interfered with by
the envy OF jealous rivals who do not ad-
vertlse and who are afraid to submit their
goods to public inspection and criticism.
While this important issue is being de-
termlned on its merits. Raphaels show
windows Will continue TO attract the adj
miration of the public.
1t is somewhat remarkable that A NOR.
chant who draws attention to his place of
business by fine display should be singled
out as "a terrible example" while in other
parts OF the city the sidewalks are oh
structed from morning till night with cases
Of goods so as to make loccmotion almost
impossible, and no one is arrested for main
tanning these distractions, which are not
ONLY In law but in fact nuisance.
