FAVORABLE TO POLICE BOARD.
Judge Littlejohn Renders Decision In
Noted Case.

Noted Case.
In an elaborate opinion covering six
typewriter pages Judge Littlejohn,
at late hour yesterday, made perma-
nent the temporary restraining order
recently granted the Police Commits
sion of Americas against the City
Council.
The Commission was sustained on
all important points, it is said.
Judge LittIejohn decides that the
case is one to be passed upon by a
court of equity. Also that the act Gre
ating the Commission is constitutional.
Upon these two points the Council
rested its case very largely, contending
that the legislative act creating the
board of Police Commissioners was I'M
constitutional; also that this case was
not one for court of equity to deter
mine.
The permanent Injunction restraints
the City Courci from assuming con
troll of the police force, or in any man
ner interfering with that body either
in whole or in part
1t restraints the Council from inter
ference with the Police Commission in
the discharge of its duties.
The Council Is likewise restrained
from putting into effect the revised or
dinances, whereby the Police Commits
sion is practically Invested of power in
the management of the police force and
all authority is assumed by Council,
The decision, as above stated, is a
very lengthy and carefully prepared
one, Judge Littleiohn having given the
matter at issue deep study since hear
ing the case two weeks ago today.
1t will be recorded upon the court
docket this morning, quite likely.
And thus ended the second round il
this 'battle of the giants" tue Police
Commission and City Council. The
next will be fought in the Supreme
Court, to which the case will be car
ried at once by the City Council
Tt is hoped that hearing may be had
at the March term.
Until this high tribunal passes upon
the case the status quo is resumed.
and the police department remains un-
der authority of the Police Commits
sion as heretofore.

After remaining cut several hours in
the case of the State versus Judson
Chambliss, the jury reported to Judge
Crisp yesterday that it could not agree
and mistrial was declared. The COM
plainant in the case is a young woman

est there. This is the second hearing,
and each time a mIstrial has resulted,
At the conclusion of this case yester-

ALL BURDENED WITH M1ssIvEs.
Postmen Have Their Inning With
Valentines.

sa1SuL1uGSs
The postmen in Americas carried
more than their usual burden IN max
ing the second rounds yesterday. It
was Valentine dag, and young Amerl-
Gus had not overlooked the fact.
Thousands of the missives, including
all kinds from the sentimental slopover
trimmed with undressed kids, bows
aud arrows and matrimonial forecasts,
down to the penny daub that pointed
a moral to the recipient, filed the
mailbags. The postofice force worked
overtime, but the walls were finally sent
upon their mission of Joy or pain, as
the case might have been. Many really
beautiful pictures were distributed.
The Times Recorder man got one all
right, but only the sender and the re-
cipienc shared the "joy."

Nov these figures do show a small

change is not uniform and is not al.

the Napoleonic battles. Our fight at
Santiago fell little short of Austerlitz.
In the Boer war the British losses at
Colenso and Paardeburg were light,
but at Spion Kop they were heavier
than those at Austerlitz, at Jena, at
