Mr.. HoAR's speech on his antitrust

Mr.. HoAR starts with the statement

The spouters against government by
injunction are invited 10 ponder one Of
the strangest cases in which the aid Of that
engine OF oppression has been sought.
A Mr.. POWELL Of Mount Gilcad, Ohio has
applied for an injunction to restrain a
Mr.. TENANT from praying in the United
Brethren Church. Mr.. TENANT is said to
have an unusual gift or power Of prayer. His
public supplications are described a. ener-
getic. eloquent and moving They move
poor Mr.. POWELL the wrong way He COM
plains that they tend to make disturbanc~ :
and interfere with spiritual Inspiration"
II seems rather uncharitable for brother
to object to brothers prayers. The CEN
serious will suspect that envy OF the pray
ing brothers spiritual inspiration moves
the bellows to the complaining brothers
sighs. At any rate, an injunction to restrain
a prayer seems to be somewhat Of legal
curiosity.

will be argued before Justice GAYNoR In
the Kings County Supreme Court to-mor-

raised BY the Tammany primary In the
Ninth district last September before the
court The Primary law gives power
to tho courts to inquire into all the facts
In any case brought to its attention and
to decide the questions raised on their
merits. The only case on which tho
courts have passed which had any SINH
larity to the Devery matter grew out Of
the efforts OF the managers of the Kings
County Democratic Committee to dis
cipline Senator MICHARL j. CorrEY.
CoFFEY. after his election az a member
Of the County Executive Committee.
antagonizcd HUnH MCLAUGHLIN and
his supporters. They read CoFFEY out OF
the party and declared his seat in the
General and Executive committees va
cant. COFFRY appealed TO the courts for
reinstatement His petition was granted,
the courts holding that the General and
Executive committees had no power to
GUST him. In DEvERY's case his conten-
ton is that having been elected to the
General Committee by the enrolled
Democrats of the Ninth district and to
the Executive Committee by the District
General Committee, the County General
Committee and the Executive Committee
have no power to deny him and his
supporters their seats. If CHARLES F.
MURPHY wants to continue his fight
against DEvERY he will be obliged to
carry it on in the courts, whose power Is
absolute over the primaries.
RICHARD CROKER boosted that he
never interfered in district fights. He
said proudly that in Tammany the peo-
pie ruled DRvERy, on the face of the re-
turns, is the Democratic leader Of the
Ninth. Unless it can be proved that his
success was due to improper influences,
the effort to deprive him Of the fruits of
his victory is a proceeding that involves
much bigger questions than that of any
internal factional triumph in Tammany
or than that of DEvERY himself.
