TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
L. d. J. Simmons Entitled to an
Auctioneer's License Free?

AucC1o0eexS A1Ce01e Erect
The case Of D. J. Simmons, who on
Wednesday was arrested on complaint
Of City Collector Robertson and
charged with conducting an auction
eering business without q license, was
called in the City Justices Court yes
terday morning. Simmons was rep
resented by Attorney Clinton L. White
while City Attorney De Ligne looked
after the prosecution.
Attorney White interposed a demur-
rer to the complaint, resting it upon
Section 25 of the county government
Act as amended in 1897. The section,
after providing for the fixing of Ii
censes by proper bodies, contains this
provisO:
Provided, that every honorably dis
charged soldier, sailor, or marine of
the United States who is unable to OBJ
tain a livelihood by manual labor, shall
have the right to hawk, peddle and
vend any goods, wares. or merchandise,
except spirituous, malt, vinous, or
other intoxicating liquor without pay
ment Of any license, tax, or fee what
soever, whether municipal, county or
State; and the Board of Supervisors
shall issue to such soldier, sailor or
marine, without cost, license there
for
Mr.. White contended that Simmons,
who from wounds received while a SOL
der, was unable to perform manual
labor, and was therefore within the
statute made and provided.
City Attorney De Ligne commended
that the section referred only to hawk
ing and peddling. and did not apply
to business in the broader sense of the
word. If such were the case, he SAID.
summons, or any other old and manned
soldier might conduct a store equal in
magnitude to that of Weinstock, Lubin
& Co. in this city, and pay no license
Tor the privilege. He held also that
the law was unconstitutional in that
1t was class legislation, and further
held that the Act made no mention of
sales of real estate, which the accused,
in his business. often made.
Replying, Mr.. White said the word
''vend" implied more than the word
"sell''; that it applied to sales of every
description, and that the words
'hawk. peddle and vend," were not
synonymous, as superf1uous words
were not considered in legislative en-
actments. He said the law was gem
eral, in that it applied to all of a class
and he further stated that if the CITY
Attorney intended to press the point as
to the kinds of property-personal or
real-which might be sold, he would
ask to amend his demurrer
Mr. White said he was not defending
Simmons for any love he had for him,
nor vice versa; neither did he defend
him for any fee he might get, for he
rather expected to get nothing, but be-
cause Simmons was, for once, in the
right
Justice Anderson, in taking the mat
ter of the demurrer under advisement
for ten days, requested the attorneys
to file briefs citing their authorities,
etc. He said he thought there was a
United States statute bearing on the
matter, and he also was inclined to be-
lieve that the provision in the county
government Act did not apply to mu-
nicipal corporations-tha the city had
right to make its schedule of tariffs
without reference to the county gov
eminent Act.
