CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.
Justice Anderson Gives Two Boy
Authority to Play,

Two boys, good musicians by the
way, one of whom plays the harp, the
other the violin, were stopped from
playing on the street by Sergeant of
Police Dolan, who claimed to be acting
according to orders received from May
or Land.
The boys went to the police station
yesterday to try to get a permit to
play, but it was denied them, the Off
Ger in charge saying that he could not
ignore the Mayors orders.
City Justice Anderson happened to
be present. and he stated that there
was no law to prohibit the youngsters
from playing on the street as long as
they did not disturb the peace. He
said the music played by the boys was
no more a nuisance than that played
by brass bands, and he ended by writ
ing out a permit authorizing the boys
to go ahead with their performance.
Mayor Land was notified by tele-
phone of Justice Anderson's action He
insisted that the boys be not permitted
to play.
City Attorney De Ligne, who was
in the station, backed up Justice An
dersons action, told the boys to go
ahead and play as much as they de-
sired, and the little fellows left i'll

Three of them said they We're high

the high school and had their diplomas
with them. But they didn't know how
to write single line without an error
of spelling, and they have punctuated
in the most amazing manner. They
have learned to operate the machine in
way, and some of them can take
shorthand. Some of them had experi-
