AN ORDINANCE BROKEN.
Police Judge Discharges Defendants
in Disorderly House Case.

Police Judge Magaw on Monday dis
charged Dick Daniels, William Barnes,
Joe Smith. James Jones and George Gra-
ham. the men who were arrested in the
raid upon the disorderly house kept by
Jennie Kline. In discharging the men
Police Judge AIagaw held the ordinance
covering this offense is invalid.
The counsel for the defendants in the
case appeared in police court Saturday
afternoon and asked that the cases be
dismissed for two reasons: One was that
the warrant under which the arrest was
made was dated March II when it was
not served until the latter part of May.
The other reason was that the ordi-
nance covering this offense was not va
lid, inasmuch as an ordinance must leg
ally cover but one crime and the title
of the ordinance must be made to cover
the purpose OF the ordinance.
1t was contended that several offenses
are mentioned in the ordinance under
which the keepers of disorderly houses
and the inmates found therein have been
prosecuted. It was also shown to the
court that Judge Hazen had decided in
the district court in similar cases thar
the ordinance was invalid and asked
that the cases be discharged.
Police Judge Magaw thought there
was another ordinance passed by the
city council recently under which the
prosecution could be Justified and asked
Assistant City Attorney Gregg to look
through the records of the city clerk for
such an ordinance After an investiga-
ton however he was compelled to report
that there was no new ordinance on this
subject and Police Judge NIagaw allow
ed the motion to quash the complaints
The money which was put up for bond
by the various men was returned to
them. They were arrested during the
druggists state convention and deposited
S25 apiece.
Thi decision win have a bearing on
all future prosecutions of this nature
Following this precedent it win be i'm
possible to secure convictions in the
cases Of the keepers of disorderly houses
and the inmates found there until a new
ordinance is passed by the council.

A SECRET VOTE.
Cuban Legislators Desire Record on
PIatt Amendment Unknown-
New York. May ga dispatch to thu

New York, May 2S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Courtesy to Gualberto Gomez prevent
ed a vote on the majority report accept
ing the Platt amendment at Mondays
session of the convention. He had gone
to the country to make a political speech
and was detained. though ne announced
last week that he was through with
speech making in opposition His associ-
ates declined to take advantage Of his
absence.
The revised and modified report of the
majority was discussed and supported
by Senior Berriel, rector of Havana uni
versity, and by Manuel SanguiIy- The
phraseodogy has been improved and
appears satisfactory to the majority
Privately some delegates have inquired
whether it is satisfactory to the Wash
ington authorities. This is assumed to
be the case. Portuondo. the radical
from Santiago, has reamrmed his opposl-
ton, but the radicals all concede ma
Jority for the amendment.
The delegates are in good humoF over
the prospect of final action If no one
happens to be i'll or away vote may be
had on Tuesday of this week. The main
obstacle is in the municipal campaign,
the desire of Candidate GeneT's friends
to enable him to avoid committing him
self after he is elected mayor. The Ma
tional party in Havana has split on this
subject. Some delegates are also de-
handing open sessions, but the first vote
will be taken in secret.

Clyde Cowgirl, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. B. Cowgirl, 1888 AIulvane street, was
the victim of an accident last Thursday

say, is likely to result in cerebro spinal

threw soft glow over all. The guests
found their places by costume notices,
