COMPLAINT
WAS not
SWORN TO.
Court ''Quashss =. Proceedings
Concerning tho Possession
Of the Jewish Synagogue.

The controversy between certain parties
as to the right to possession Of the
Jewish Synagogue has been before the
appellate division of tho supreme court
on certiorari and an opinion was handed
down today. l.. Napoleo Levi and an>
other claimed possession and made com~
plant against Fischel David and others
who, It IL claimed, deprived the COM
plainants of such possession.
The case was heard before q single Jus.
tfce. sitting with a Jury, and the de-
PENDANTS. against whom tho Judgment
was rendered, brought the case up On
certiorari.
The statute requires such a complaint
as the one on which the defendants were
brought before jury to be on oath, that
is, II provides that complaint shall b
made In writing and under oath. The
complanants claimed title and possession
and neither OF them made oath to the
complaint. but the complaint was sworn
to by Eugene Schrier not q party to the
cause.
The defendants motion to quash the
complaint was overruled by the trial
Judge and the question before the ap-
pellate court was whether such com-
plant must be sworn TO by one OF the
complainants or would be valid II third
party did the swearing. Few cases have
arisen under the statute in question,
though the remedy provided there r. an
ancient one.
Chief Justice Stiness writes the opinion
Of the court and In II he says there =
a general agreement In holding that the
remedy Is OF such a summary character
as to require a complainant TO act within
statutory provision.
The chief justice points out that there
are many places in the statutes where
oaths are required. Some OF these ex-
pressly require a complainant to make
oath: others provide that the complains
ant shall be on or under oath. and still
others provide that the oath may be made
by some one in his behalf.
The case under consideration, the court
says. is a summary proceeding and very
nearly, II not actually, OF a quasi crimi-
nal character. AS In the courts opinion
the statute requires the oath TO be made
by the complainant the proceeding not
being in conformity with the statute
must be quashed.

ARBITRATION.
Official Statement From the
Executive Board Of Strikers.

AS result of the meeting OF the ex-
ecutive board. lasting for nearly two
hours early this afternoon the following
statement was issued TO the public
through The News. which has from the
start endeavored 10 present I'm unbiased
form the claims OF both the strikers and
the United Traction company:
on May 17th, 1902, General Manager
Potter stated through the daily press that
on June lst the ten-hour law would be put
into effect and we all expected that he
would carry that out. lie also stated that
the employees would receive the sane
which they had been receiving for
longer day. About s y. m. on the last
day of May n notice was posted I'm all
the car barns 10 the effect that the com
pany had decided shat the law was un-
constitutional and tho company would not
do what they had agreed TO through the
daily press.
The only resource left for the employees
then was 10 ask for n ten-hour day TO
be completed within twelve consecutive
hours the rate Of pay 10 be twenty cents
per hour for the first year and twenty 1.-TWO
and one half cents thereafter, no man
TO receive less pay than he now receives.
All Of which was refused by the com
pany..
REFUSAL CAUSED STRIKE.
The refusal was what precipitated the
present strike. When we were Informed
that Gov. Kimball was willing 20 meet a
committee we did not hesitate In having
our officers take the matter M with him.
and the result Of the conference was that
the governor called upon Vice President

The city OF Pawtucket Is under mill

action was determined at midnight. as
result OF a conference held by Governor
Charles Dean Kimball and Sheriff Hunter

There had been a serious riot early in

and ferocity every minute. and Sheriff
White admitted he was unable TO control
the situation.
II was like the gathering Of a mighty
storm which swept everything before II.
All day yesterday there had been
trouble. Cars were stoned. deputy
sheriffs placed hors du combat and terror
reirned But the strikers took no part
IN the trouble.
Appeals were made to Sheriff White by
residents OF Pawtucket who now realized
that the extrtme danger line had been
reached and that II some high power did
not intervene blood would be shed.
The principal rioting had been at the
function Of East and Pawtucket avenues.
