HOPE FOR RUNNERS
JUDGE ORR WILL HOLD THAT
THEIR CALLING rs A LEGIT-
MATE ONE
GIVES DECISION TOMORROW
City Will Probably Appeal to Higher
Court and Possibly Apply to
Legislature for
Relief.

In a decision promised for Monday,
Judge Orr, of the municipal court. will
hold that the business of hotel runner is
charter. and that while subject to police
a runner cannot be confined to
the premises which he controls or rep
resents. In other words, he will hold that
the ordinance lately passed by the coun-
Gil is unconstitutional in that 1T is too
sweeping and in conflict with good law.
Judge Orr yesterday refused to antici-
pate the contents of the decision which
comes as the result of the arrest of Ole
HoagIund for a violation of the ordi-
nance regulating runners Attorney E.
E. Mcdonald represented NHoaglund, who
is a runner for the Minnesota house, and
from the remarks of the court which fol-
lowed the case a victory for Hoaglund
eah be expected.
Judge Orr's remarks We're based prin-
cipally on his belief that the municipality
exceeded its authority when it attempt
ed to confine runner to his own prem
ises Police authority might be exercised
in the control of the streets and alleys,
but beyond that it trespassed.
This is the second ordinance for the
adjustment of the runner passed by the
council, and it is hardly probable that
the decision will be allowed to stand with
out an appeal to a. higher court by the
city. If sustained there the city will
either have to eliminate the calling from
its charter or go before the legislature
and ask for law abolishing the profess
sion altogether.

GIFT GOES BEGGING
CITY NAY BE COMPELLED TO De-
CLINE TENDER OF AUDI
ToRIUM
MARKHAM LOCKING UP LAW
New Difficulties Have Arisen which
May Require Special Legislation
to Straighten Out-CIamor
for Rent.

The Auditorium, ST Paul,s white
elephant as Mayor Smith is wont to
label it, is still without an owner. and
may yet be returned to the donor with a
brief note, Declined, with thanks
Though the legal department was cred
tied with an informal opinion stretching
a point by which the city might take
over the building and provide for its flu
ture, yet the opinion has never been re-
ceived by Mayor Smith, who asked tor
it. New difficulties. it is said, have arisen
which may yet necessitate the city refus-
ing the gift.
An Auditorium is not viewed by the
charter in the light of municipal bHilte-
ing or institution, and before 1t can be
accepted the legislature must legaiize the
