A BLUE Law CRUSADE.
Atlantic's Officials and Hotel Mon At.
tacked by the Business Men.

VIZ wi
ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. o. 1s95.-The
controversy between the authori-
ties and the Amusement Mems
Association had another inning in
court yesterday. and as a result
several hotel proprieters were fined s25
for selling liquors on Sunday. Last SUN
day several Of the proprietors of amuse-
ment enterprises. following the advice of
their attorney, threw their doors open to
the public for business. Mayor STOW had
declared that he would enforce the law
regulating Sunday closing against the
showmen, and he did. Each offender
was arrested promptly and ON arraign-
ment in court Monday was fined $25 and
costs. Then the real trouble began.
Warrants enough to fill a good-sized peni-
tertiary book We're issued upon the com
plant of the detectives employed by the
association against almost every hotel
proprietor and saloon keeper. The bust
ness mems attorney went further than
n and said If the law, which is known
as the blue law" was to be used to the
detriment of his clients, he would nave
It carried out to the letter.
The law was passed in 1885, since which
time 1t has never been modified, and
should t be strictly enforced it would
be possible to proceed and arrest every
person who strolls upon the boardwalk
on the Sabbath unless the strollers could
successfully prove that they were ON
their way to a place of worship. The
law allows of no travel or mode of loco
motion or recreation for Sunday. To
walk on the boardwalk would be travel,
and to sit down would be recreation,
and as a. consequence is a miSdemeanor,
punishable by a fine.
The blu law only allows of one train
with one car to pass over a rail-
road track in and out of town on sun
day: Any further attempt at travel is
an i~nfraction of the aw. If a man at
tempted to walk for a square down the
railroad ties he would be guilty of trav-
cling. and consequently could be ar
rested. A person who would attempt to
~recuperate in a hammock or rest upon
the lawn grass of a private residence
must be considered recreating, and war
rants can be issued.
Street cars must stop, and people be
compelled to attend to religious duties.
Proceeding upon this basis
were issued against Mayor Stoy, in his
private capacity. for conducting an ex-
press business o Sunday. City Solicit
tor Ahan B. Endicott was also served as
he is the President of a carette COM
| PAM
The fines were paid under protest. A
number of hotel men are to have a
hearing today and more on Saturday.

Water fights of no mean magnitude
have been fought out in the southwest,
and new, involving heavy interests, is
about to be heard before the superior
court. The suit is entitled Chino Ranch
company VS.. the Citizens Water company
ct al.
The plaintiffs complain and say that on
the 28th of November. 1887, John B.
Camp OF Pomona owned 2.23 acres in the
Rancho San Jose, and at that time he
made an agreement with W. D. Smith,
E. B.: Smith, George Heath of Pomona
and J. F. Holbrook Of Los Angeles. to the
effect that he granted to them the sole
right to develop artesian water on that
land, to lay. pipes. etc., for water sys-
Camp in consideration of the agreement.
1t was provided that a failure of the
others to develop water made the agree
ment void.
Some time afterward the others trans
ferred their interests to Richard Gird,
who took up the obligations CT the agree
ment. He suoceeded in drawing artesian
water in considerable quantities from a
number of wells he bored at cost of $15,.
600, procuring an aggregate flow Of fifty
inches, miners measurement under a
feur-inch pressure. This water he con-
Quoted to division welr, and which con-
nected with the main pipe limo of the
Chino water system. March 20. 1881 Gird
ceased developing water. and since then
half the water has been diverted from the
division box into the pipe OF the North
Chino water system. and thereby con-
veyed to Chino and the Chino ranch BY
Glrd.
For a consideration of 81, November 9,
1888, Camp transferred all his interest to
Gird, 80 that helcame In full posses.

legally transferred to the Chino Ranch
| company by GiYd.
Now the Citizens Water company,

therefore forfeited his rights, are boring
and pumping water on those lands. there
by diminishing the plaintiffs flow and
imposing upon his rights. The lntruders
refuse 10 cease. 80 the plainciE asks an
injunction and a final judgment quieting
the title involved.
