JUDGMENT REVERSED
ACTION BY COURT OF APPEALS IN
WILLIAMS CASE.
Deputy Marshal Who Was Fined on
Charge of Obstructing Side
walk-Other Opinions.

The Court of Appeals, by an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Justice Morris, and handed
down this afternoon, reversed the judg-
ment Of the Police Court in the case of
Virgil G. Williams, plaintiff in error,
against the District of Columbia. The
cause is remanded to the Police Court with
direction to vacate the judgment and to
discharge the plaintiff in error from the
Judgment against him.
Williams, a deputy United States mar
shall for the District of Columbia. was ar
rested and fined by the Police Court for OBJ
structing sidewalk by placing thereon
goods he had removed from a house in exc
cutting a writ of restitution. At the time
Williams was acting in his official capacity.
He appealed.
The Court of Appeals, in reversing the
judgment of the Police Court, says. among
other things. that it is clearly of the opin-
ion that for such obstruction to the high
way the marshal or his deputies, who have
only performed their legal duty and obeyed
the order Of the courts should not be held
liable

tor accused OF exercising undue influence
on the testator, was authorized to employ
counsel to represent him. and whereby the
collectors were authorized to pay such
counsel Retaining fee Of 81 600, being $500
to each of two gentlemen named. From
this order the caveators. Louis c., William
F., Charles r. and Guida A. Kengla, as ap-
peIlants, sought and were allowed a special
appeal to the Court of Appeals. Ephraim s.
Randall was the appellee.
1T seems to u.s. says the Court of APP
reals. in an opinion written by Mr.. Justice
Morris and handed down this afternoon,
'that the order appealed from is without
warrant in law and beyond the jurisdiction
of the court to make" The order appealed
from is reversed, and the cause remanded
for further proceedings according to law.
Finney Against District.
In an opinion written by Mr.. Justice Nor
ris, the Court of Appeals this afternoon
affirmed the judgment of the lower court
in the case of John H. Finney, appellant,
against the District of Columbia.
Suit was filed against Finney to recover
1851 %, the amount of a promissory note.
He filed no affidavit in support of his pleas
to ,.ontrovert the averments of the plain
tiff'x. affidavit. Thereupon there was
motion for judgment on behalf of the
plaintiff for want Of such judgment, and
Judgment was accordingly entered. from
which Finney appealed. The Court of APP
peals says it found no merit in the appeal.

READY FOR FIRST GAMES
WESTERN POLO TEAMS WILL OPEN
THE SEASON TONIGHT.
Richmond VIII Play mt Anderson

All is now In readiness for the first polo
game of the 10000 season between the
Indianapolis and Richmond teams, which
will be played in the new Auditorium to-
morrow night. The local team will hold
first practice in the new rink this morning
and will be in good shape for the first con-
test in the championship race.
The Auditorium is brilliantly lighted, and
spectators seated in any part Of the house
can see every play made. The netting
will be stretched to-day, and the lovers OF
polo can attend all games without fear OF
injury, as the netting will be fifteen feet
from the playing surface.
President A. Il. Cohen, of the Indianapo-
lis Roller Polo Association, has requested
Mayor Hoffman to open the new building
with short dedicatory speech, and the
ability accept. A ffteen-piece orchestra
has been engaged for the opening night
and the musical programme will be started
at 1880 promptly.
The new Auditorium is located on Vir-
ginia avenue, at the corner of Huron
street, on the site of the old rink which
burned many years ago. Four car lines
pass the building and one turns north one
square east from the rink. The Shelby.
Prospect and English-avenue lines of the
city company and the Greenwood cars of
the Indianapolis. Greenwood & Franklin
interurban line pass the front entrance.
and the South East-street cars pass within
one block of the Auditorium.
Fully 500 persons inspected the Auditor
ium yesterday, and all were wonderfully
pleased with the building. Expressions of
praise for the swift work done by the con-
tractors were heard.

TWELVE-CLUB LEAGUE.
Claimed that National Wants to he
Supreme Again.

From the East come revivals of the
twelye-club consolidation scheme with the
new angle that there is not likely to be any
consolidation now. because the National
League clubs do not desire IL any longer.
The explanation given is that the old league
has enjoyed such a prosperous season, and
the American is in such straits, that the
shoe is on the other foot and the Aemrican
has a good chance OF expiring in anothe..
season. The chief point in this result is TO
be the cutting of streets through the Ameri-
can League plant In New York, which would
prove a deathblow. This last can easily be
disposed of by recalling the fact that Tam
many will control New York after Jan. /,
and the Tamnany owners Of the American
League club there have no further wor-
ries> on the street question. says the Chicago
Tribune.

other statements The American League

This, of course, does not include the ex-
pense of building the New York plant, which
the owners did not expect 10 get back In

no such losing proposition as the Boston.
