DENVER, Col, June 1s-Rev. M. A
RAIDER, pastor of Grace NJ. T. Church, Rev.
w. II. Talmage, state superintendent OF the
Anti-Saloon League, and secretary Walter
D. Wynkoop, of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety of Denver, were summoned to-day to
answer in Judge Palmer's division of the
District Court 10 the charge of contempt
1. p. Stauer, secretary of the Chesapeake
oyster house, swore to the charges. Attor-
ney Milton H. Smith, who is acting for the
Chesapeake and Daniel Cronin in the sa-
loon injunction cases, appeared as attorney
for Mr.. Stauer in the contempt cases.
Rev. Mr.. RAIDER is cited for contempt of
court on account of having made the fol-
lowing statement from his pulpit: THE sa-
loon men prevailed upon Judge Palmer two
weeks ago TO grant an injunction against
the enforcement of the law. L have respect
for our courts as such, but when the dis
trict judge prostitutes the bench TO such
low ends confess am not only astounded,
but deeply grieved Who ever heard Of
such a procedure? The idea of our courts
conniving with the lawbreakers. 1t is high
time to call halt. suppose we will soon
be Informed that a judge will grant injunc-
tions against the enforcement OF the laws
against thieves and sluggers and murder
erS.
The information against Mr.. Talmage
says that in interview he declared in
substance: THAT the said Peter l.. Palmer
was un0er the control ana lnTuence OF the
saloon men of the city OF Denver, and that
the said injunctions were issued by him at
their behest. and that 1t would be worth
while for the saloon men to pay Judge
Palmer $4,000 to make the injunction per-
manent, but that if il were accomplished il
would result in a great upheaval of the
Christian people of Denver"
Nj. Wynkoop is cited in consequence of
having issued the following notice to men,
bers of the Christian Endeavor Society: 1t
is desired that at the meeting of your
Christian Endeavor Society on Sunday
night the president state the fact that
Judge Palmer has issued a temporary in
junction; he will attempt TO permit the sa-
looms TO reopen all over the city on Sundays
unless the better class of the people inn
press him that he shall not do so. Ask all
present in favor of the saloons closing on
Sundays 10 raise their hands. All should
attend Judge Palmer'sl court at 10 a. m.
Monday, June 10, and see that he gives fair
play TO the Christians of Denver"
Judge Palmer set the contempt cases for
hearing on June 20. Argument was then
begun on the question of making perma-
nent the injunctions for the issuance of
which the minister had criticised the court.
These restrain the Police Board from pro-
hibiting the serving of liquors in the Chesa-
peake restaurant on Sundays and from ex-
cluding women from Daniel Cronin's wine
room.

have protested to General Macarthur
against the alleged arbitrary exercise of
discretionary authority on the part of the
civil-service board. The law gives the
board discretion to make rule requiring
the examinations of old employees and the
board has not stated whether IL will or
will not require these examinations All
the petitioners agree TO resign. rather than
submit to examinations. and will accept
private employment unless the matter is
settled quickly. The members of the board
say that since no action has been taken
there is no grievance. General Macarthur
has requested the board to transmit TO him
a rule covering the point for promugaton
in accordance TO the law. The members of
the civi-service board say they have taken
no action on the question involved, but have
notified Lieutenant Colonel Crowder, the
clerks for examination. Colonel Crowder,
in reply, asked for the certification of the
rule under which the examination was re-
quired. Colonel Crowder says IL would be
inconvenient TO spare the men and that the
requirement is unduly stringent at the
present juncture.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press asked Judge Taft what the attitude
of the United States government would be.
He replied that officially he was not aware
that a remonstrance had been made. The
board was authorized to determine the
question. But. on general principles, If the
men threaten to resign rather than stand a
reasonable examination, which was not
competitive. he was in favor of letting
them resign.
