BURNS CASE
BEING ARRANGED

Argument on the motion of Cor
poration Counsel Dudley to quash a
part of the application for writ Of
review in Detective Martin Burns
case was begun before Judge Rich
ardson at IL o'clock this morning
Owing to the attraction of politics
downtown there was little interest
taken in the case by any but the ar
ray of lawyers there to wade through
the legal points and pour in lengthy
lists of authorities.
The corporation counsel opened the
argument with his claim that no err
rors were committed in the trial of
Detective Burns, that the police COM
mission was not subject to the rules
of evidence and that it was body
outside the actual control of the city.
Mr. Dudley's chief endeavor is to
prevent the part of the order taking
into court the transcripts of the evil
dence and typewriter stenographic
report in order to establish prece.
dent.
Attorneys Stoll and Adams repre-
sented Detective Burns and argued on
the points in error citing authorities
The arguments took up all of the
afternoon and no decision was given
Neither Detective Burns nor the
city commissioners were present dur
ing the argument.

good II can be when II takes a notion
The company's attorneys declare
the company is under no legal or
moral obligation to do thing to the
street which il has ruined, but Is
cutting 1t down under the supervision
of the board of public works Just to
show IL is willing to do more and
IL doing more than II ought to pre-

he had no opportunity to rule on it,

Actual proof must be submitted
hereafter by f. Dempsie and his at
torney, Harris Baldwin, before Judge
Hinkle will issue more warrants for
the arrest of the women landladies"
and the 'men landlords" This ulti-
nj. .,um has been delivered to the men

the trio with unpleasant relations.
Mr. Dempsie and Attorney Baldwin
called on the judge in his private Of
flee and asked for more warrants. The
Judge refused to issue them on the
ground that the evidence heretofore
depended upon was not sufficient
I'VE demand that you issue these
warrants" said Attorney Baldwin.
Il will not issue warrants here
after until you have presented evil
dence to show legally that these peo-
pie are violating the law. They have
been convicted irregularly in the past
and shall not consider such evil
dence again."
With this ultimatum the Judge
turned down the applications. If more
warrants are issued the prosecutors

to procure direct evidence and not
depend upon the court records show

as threat and as evidence of his
power to prevent hostile nomina-

Candidates were nominated against

the ground that they were Amalga-

adopted. He was given everything
he asked for except fusion with the
labor and populist parties, which he
desired above all else, and was
