HOSE MAY BE Used.
Firemen to he Employed TO Dampen
ArdOr of Crusaders.

WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 2o.-Mrs. Nations
attorney to-day presented a motion in the
District Court TO quash the indictment
against his client, on tie ground that the
building injured harbored a nuisance and
that his client had a right TO abate 1t. In
denying the motion Judge ID. NJ. Dale ruled,
to-day, that 1t makes no difference wheth-
er the property destroyed is used for a
saloon, bank or a grocery store. Under
this ruling the only point at issue is wheth-
er the accused broke the glass windows, as
alleged in the complaint. The complaint in
ore case is made by the owner of the build
ing who was not the proprietor of the sa-
loon.
A plan has been formed here in case Of a
raid on the saloons at night, which is ex-
pected to take place at any moment, 70
cali out the fire department to reinforce the
inadequate police service. For the pur-
pose OF quelling a riot the firemen will, IL
Is said, be permanently clothed with au-
thority of policemen with power TO depu-
tie citizens. Judge Dale, of the District
Court, before whom the crusaders have
been tried in the past, is quoted as saying
that he would arrest ministers who incite
the people TO riot against the saloons.
