CHICAGO, Aug. S1.-A sensational scene
was enacted in court today when Judges
Goggin, Dunno and Brentano attempted
to decide whether the injunction will
stand restraining the worlds fair direc-
tors closing the exposition gates on sun
day. 1t was understood before hand that
the judicial trio were divided as TO the
course TO be pursued. Judges Dunno and
Brentano holding that the injunction
should be dissolved while Judge Goggin
held exactly the contrary. Judge Goggin
is the one before whom the motion TO
dissolve was made. Judges Brentano
and Dunno were invited by him to sit
en- banc, the three TO hear the case
jointly in view Of the Importance OF the
issues at stake.
Before either of his colleagues could
announce their views in opposition when
court opened today Judge Goggin prompt
~ forestalled them, with an unprece-
dented move. He notified the clerk TO
enter an order to continue the case for
sixty days. Judge Dunno. to whom the
reading Of the majority opinion had been
entrusted insisted on his right TO do so.
He read the opinion and Judge Goggin
renewed his attempt to grant continu-
ance. Ex-Judge Moran, representing the
exposition company. addressed the coure
referring 10 the attempted continuano9
as judicial anarchy" Judges Brentano
and Dunno induced Judge Goggin To
leave the bench and private conference
was held by the three judges. After the
conference Judges Brentano and Dunno
returned TO the bench and announced
that Judge GOggin no longer desired
them to sit with him. They thereupon
retired with considerable suppressed feel
ing, apparently, leaving Judge Goggin
to himself. Judge Goggin then entered
an order overruling the motion 10 dis
solve and refused ex-Judge Moran's re-
quest to set a date for hearing a motion
to vacate that order.
Caused Excitement.
The scene in court was exciting in the
extreme. The attorneys stood on chairs
and crowded about the bar eager to catch
every word Amidst all Of the confusion
with bailiffs loudly pounding the bench
in vain effort TO restore order Judge Cog
gin insisted that his minute clerk should
enter the order in conformity with his
verbal opinion, and this was done. The
order denies the motion to dissolve the
injunction. No record was made to cor
respond with the decision of Judges
Dunno and Bretano, and as result the
only order gov standing in the case per-
mits the gates of the exposition to re-
main open on Sunday.
II Judge GOggin's remarkable sixty
days continuance holds good the worlds
fair will be an end before 1t can be
finally settled by law, whether or not the
exposition should or should not be open
on Sunday. Judge Goggin made this
statement in explanation Of his action:
Il have respect for the chief justice of
the United States and good deal for
Judge Stein, who granted the Injunction.
To set aside an order granting an in
junction IN this case would cause the
people of this state TO lose confdences
A onorum failed TO attend the meet
ing Of the national commission today

taken on the report OF the special COM
mittee appointed TO investigate the
charges of bribery against Commission
