THE MEREDITH MURDER.
UnproVoked, CowardIy and Brutal

Seattle, Wash, June 29.-New light is thrown on the Meredith murder case by investigation which has been proceeding since the event. It has transpired that Meredith left his home on the afternoon of the murder with the intention of cleaning up his room in the police station and trans ferring his personal possessions to his home. He had packed up the articles belonging to him, among which was the shotgun with which he fired at Considine.
 About five minutes before the shoot ing occurred Meredith was seen at the corner of Jesler way and Second ave- nue. The eX-chief had his arms full of packages at this time.
 It has also developed that the Con- sidine brothers were walking about in the neighborhoed of the drug store for some time before the shoot ing, and appeared to be looking for some one. The latest developments point to the supposition that the Con- sidines found Meredith on his way home and provoked him to the shoot inm

IT IS VIOLATION OF LAW.
Hut the Authorities Have No Power to Punish Restrain it-A
 Queer Ruling.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 29.-Sunday closing advocates yesterday received a knockout blow in a ruling handed down by Judge John ". Henry, of the circuit court. Judge Henry decided that the board of police commissions CTS has no right to revoke a saloon license unless it is shown that the place is disorderly house within the meaning of +he law.
 "The selling of one, two or a dozen drinks of whisky on Sunday" said Judge Henry, does net necessarily mean that man is running a disor- derly house, although it is gross violation of the law. The court has no mandamus power to review the acts of the board of police commis- sioners."
 The point of issue was to compel the police commissioners to revoke the li- cense of saloonkeepers who had been convicted in the police court for sell ing on Sunday against the orders of the mayor and the board.
