; TIE first case against a merchant for
dhstructing the sidewalk was before
Judge Hine yesterday, when counsel for
Andrew Schochgsthe grocer; at Broadway
and seventaastreets, argued motion for
Dismissal The motion was based upon
the claim. .tha ordinance. which
Mayor Kiefer is eIideayoring to enforce
Is uncensu tutional because. it restricts

no, legal right % enact o law Interfering
with any sieei TIM ate bustsess. city Prose
cutor ,Finehout urged the constitutionality
of the ordinance on the ground. that the
streets and walks Of the city are public
property, under control Of the council,
and that this body has the right to ~resu-
late the use of such walks and streets.
From the attitude Of City Prosecutor
Finehout it seems as though the corpora
ton attorneys office has deserted Mayor
Kiefer When the mayor found what
hornets nest he had stirred up in trying
to enforce the ordinance he endeavored
to relieve himself of the embarrassment
by suggesting that the law was unconsd-
tI1tional and if declared invalid would
straighten matters out. But In arguing
the case yesterday Mr. Finehout showed
no inclination to furnish loophole for
the mayor, and contended vigorously for
the validity of the ordinance. The I'M
preston seems to be that tnasmuch as
Mayor Kiefer stirred UP the trouble that
he be shouldered with the entire respon-
sibility.
Judge Hine took the case under ad-
visement.
There is a great deal of feeling among
the grocers and retail merchants as to
the stand taken by the mayor and the
police In exempting the commission men
from the clear -the-sidewalk order. The
grocers. especially. claim that they are
as much entitled to immunity from the
provisions of the ordinance as the COM
mission men.
One Of the grocers who objects to the
discrimina ton shown by the mayor de-
clares that he will take out warrants
against the commission men If orders are
issued to the police not to do So
CITY Prosecutor .Finehout said last even
ing that as yet he had received no apph-
cations for warrants from private partes
for alleged violations of the ordnance.
AS to whether he would issue warrants
for the commission men at the request OF
the grocers or retail merchants Mr.
Finehout would not say, but he intimated
that In his official position any cltizen
and all citizens would be treated the
same under the law.

MAYOR KEEFER DECLINES
To Gall n Special Council Meeting
on School Dilemma,

President Zimmerman and Inspectors
McNair and Zimmerman, Of the school
board waited on Mayor Kiefer yesterday
morning to discuss the resolutions passed
by the board Wednesday. After q short
conference the committee retired. Presi-
dent Zimmerman said nothing had been
done except to talk over the situation,
and there would not be any special meet
ing of the council. to pass a resolution
asking the judges to appoint charter
commission.
The; statement of the president of the
school board was corroborated by Mayor
Kiefer, but that was as far as his honor
would go into details as to the confer
ence 1t Is understood that the members
Of the board and the mayor do not agree
on the question of how the money appro-
priated by the council should be expended.
Mayor fiefer is in favor of spreading the
sum over the ten months in the school
wear and keeping the schools open The
three members who were present at the
conference yesterday take the other view
of the case and favor running the schools
on the present basis until the fund Is ex-
hausted and then closing them. Under
the present schedule the fund would be
exhausted about April l.
It is apparent from interviews with the
members of the council that the board Of
education cannot reasonably expect more
money to be appropriated for school pur-
poses. The councilmen take the position
that all the money which the charter al
lows the board to have has been appro-
priated, and even should there be an ex-
cess in the general fund 1t would not be
legal to appropriate 1t for school pur-
poses.
