RAPS GAYNORS RULING.
Cornell Cr7ticises POlioe Injunction in
Hotel Cases.


Magistrate Cornell, in the York court
yesterday, indirectly criticised Supreme
Court Justice Gaynor for granting injunc-
tons to alleged gamblers and disorderly
house keepers whose places had been pick
eted by the police.
Gus Smith, the night clerk in Bingall's
Fourth Avenue Hotel, at 81 Fourth avenue
was arraigned by Detectives O'Brien. Grant
and Butler OF the East Fifth street station,
charged with violating the hotel act and
maintaining a disorderly house. The de-
tectives went to the place on Friday night
last and O'Brien registered with q woman
he met in the back room. Less than an hour
after this the woman, 1t is alleged, accOsted
Grant in front of the hotel, and, after reg
istering, they were assigned to the same
room she and 'Brien had had Smith,
Grant said remarked, az they entered the
room, at the woman returning 30 quickly.
Counsel for the defendant argued that
the recital Of this alleged remark estab-
lished perjury on the part OF the complain
ants.

nate himself before a stranger. Why, this
man has been arrested seven times and
convicted once. For eighteen months.
