BY TIE SUPREME COURT
FOUR DECISIONS OF LOWER
COURT ARE AT
FIRMED
THE ENGER CASE IS SETTLED
Interesting Point as to Right of PO-
lice Officers to Make Complaint
for Violation of
Liquor Laws.

Justice Lovely, of the state supreme
court yesterday filed decisions in four
cases, the one of most public interest
being the case of The State VS.. Henry
Enger which brings to the courts the
validity of what is known in Minneapo-
lis as "the Rad ordinance
At the time of the "crusades" against
Sunday liquor selling, the council passed
an ordinance limiting prosecutions under
the city liquor ordinances to members
OF the police force, the aim beig to place
the regulation of the saloons in the hands
of the city administration unless the
temperance workers cared to take the
prosecutions into the district court, at
great expense
The ordinance has since been repealed
The Enger case, decided yesterday, in
VOWED more specifically the problem as
to whether the general law as to the
making Of complaints for violation of
city ordinances applied to cities organized
under special chartears, and the court
holds that it does. The syllabi are:
Henry Enger, appellant.
Chap. SO, G. L. 1895, provides that ii
sinai! be the privilege of certain public Of
nc1alS and any person to make complaint
for the violation of the liquor laws of this
city therein. Such statute Is of general
application and relates to cities ORGANIZED
under special charters as well as the gen.
eral laws OF the state
The former provisions of an ordinance
of Minneapolis restricting complaints for
violations of a bylaw of that city to
Police officers of said city is in conflict
with the above statute and was repealed
thereby.
The provisions of the ordinance re-
stricting prosecutions in that city to DO
lice officers passed upon in State V. f3o-
bitscheck, 60 Mimi, 1885, was subse-
quently repealed by an amendment TO the
same re-enacting ordinance, but excIld-
Ing the restriction as to the person by
whom the complaint should be made.
Order affirmed. Lovely. =

Ruthruff, appellant.

Ruthruff, appellant
Actions to test tax titles under Section
6S21, G. S. 1894, are strictly statutory, and
not dependent upon rules in equity plead
Ing In actions to remove clouds from title
to real estate.
Neither is such statutory action strictly
claims to real estate, Sec 5S17 G. s. 1884
SO as to require the assertion by the de-
fendant of the adverse claims he has
against the same.
1t is proper pleading under such statu-
tory action to test tax titles to specify in
the complaint, particularly the tax GER
uhcate or deed which is assailed SIS in
valid. Order affirmed.

ICE / CENT A POUND
Box Dealers Doubled the Price
of the Cooling Commodity.
Under the Circumstances tho Raise in tho
Price Was Neccssary-No Danger of N
Famine Combined Ice Companies Sold
TO Regular Customers at Old Price.

Ice sold high at some places in Nor
folk yesterday. The Norfolk Ice De-
livery Company supplied its retail and
regular customers ut the old price, but
some of the box men who buy at
wholesale and sell at retail, bought ice
from Portsmouth and sold it at 1 cent
pound. or 81 hundred.
Some of the box dealers, It was re-
ported. charged as high as 2 cents a
pound to customers. 1t was necessary,
under the circumstances, for the mid
dlcmen to raise their prices.
The Norfolk Ice Delivery Company
maintained its old prices, despite the
scarcity of ice. They would not sell.
however. except to regular customers
The broken machinery in one of the
leo factories. which has been partially
the cause of the scarcity of ice, was
put in working order yesterday. and
as ono of the dealers said, there will
be ice to burn" or melt, more pro-
perry speaking. within day or two.
NO DANGER OF FAMINE.
There was at no time any danger of
famine. Everybody got all the Ice
they wanted. and it seems that there
was really no cause for the box dealers
TO raise the price to l cent pound
lnasmuch as some OF the ice had to
ue Drought from portsmouth, where
the cost by wholesale was raised above
the usual price. it would not have
seemed unreasonable for the retail
price to have been slightly raised by
the box dealers. But l cent per pound
is beyond the bounds OF reason and is
more than three times as much as the
New York ice trust ia selling ice at
now. This is mentioned just as an
illustration.
THE COMBINATIONS PRICES.
The Norfolk Ice Delivery Company's
prices arc as follows. and they have
Two hundred pounds and less than
500 pounds. one delivery. IS cents per
100 pounds.
One hundred pounds and less than
POO pounds. one delivery. 40 cents per
100 pounds.
Less than 100 pounds per day, so
cents per 100 pounds.
The continued hot weather Is re-
sponsible in large degree for the
scarcity In ice. but with the impaired
Ice machinery in working order again,
the continuance of even this hot wea-
Their would not cause continued
scarcity of ice.
The ice plants of Norfolk are more
than equal In capacity to the ice con-
sumption here ordinary.
THREW ICE AWAY LAST YEAR.
Last year, readers OF The VIrglniau-
Pilot Will remember. there was large
surplus of the product that cools and
the ice companies threw n lot of ice
overheard. One OF the dealers said
yesterday that this time last year he
was throwing away forty tons of Ice
every Saturday.

TROLLEY POLES RESET.
SEWELL'S POINT RAILWAY STOP
PED IN TRIPOLI STREET
AWAITING PLANS.


Great curiosity exists as to the route
way. The double tracks have been laid
in James street and through T'ripoli
street extended. to within fifty feet of
CITY Hall avenue. There the track
laying has been stopped.
The officials of the company asked
permission To put the tracks across
city Hall avenue, but they did not
have Il definite plan of what they in
tended To do. he'cc the city Engineer
requested that She tract; laying stop
where ii is north of City Hall avenue.
Meantime the railway company is hay
ing plans drawn which Will show pre-
ciscly where the rails are to be placed
and how.
When these drawings come the plans
of the company will be apparent and
likely they will be approved. The
tracks to City Hall avenue. But 1t has
been the expectation that the tracks
would cross that avenue ana that the
company Will obtain control of enough
ground in the vacant lot between city
Hall avenue and Plume street to build
a station or waiting SIZED there.
The work of the railISaY was stopped
also on account of the recommendation
of the City Engineers Office that the
trolley wire poles, on either side of
the streets. be put down in bed of
cement. Trolley wire poles are placed
in the sidewalks Just inside of the
stone curbing. Hence. If they arc Sc
cured merely with sand and brick bats
the poles become loose nj the bottom
and spoil the paving ana the curbinS
too. If put in cement they become
as soIidy fixed as If in stone. The
railway company complied with tina,
request Yesterday. All their trolley
wire poles are solidly fixed nUw.
