DECISION IN THE POLICE CASE
Demurrer Sustained And Injunction
Dissolved Action Of The
City Council VIII
Stand.

In the Circuit Court for Anne Arun-
del county this morning Judge Revell
and Thomas delivered decision in
the case of Howard b. Taylor and
Others against the Mayor of Annapo-
lis, sinvolving the right of several per-
sons recently elected police officers of
Annapolis
The election was contested on the
ground that il took place ON the sec
ond Monday in July, although il
should have been held ON the third
Monday of the month. The City Code
contains both provisions under differ
ent articles. The Court sustained a
demurrer to the petition asking for an
injunction to prevent the Mayor from
swearing in the recently elected ofli-
GERS.
The opinion filed in the case gave
as the reasons for this action that the
petition failed TO allege the pasasge of
the ordinances under which the cleo
tions took place and also that no spe-
cific ground for equitable interference
was shown. The decision, however,
plainly suggests that under the con
trolling provision of the law the cleo
tion should have taken place ON the
third Monday of the month
The reasons given for this view were
that the date of the third Monday was
set in the provision calling specifical.
ly for the election of police officers.
while the other date was named in
the article providing for a general
election of officers, and also that that
provision was passed subsequently,.
Mayor Jones will probably swear the
officers in today. although the Court $
suggestion as to the merits of the case
may be made the basis of further
legal proceedings.

Cruelty to Animals.

Uncheck the horses heads this hot
weather. 1t is cruel. A horse with
his head checked high suffers and has
no way to drive the biting flies from
his neck and breast, besides it causes
ulcers in his mouth. Protect the
horses from the sun and do not drive
them fast unnecessarily this hot
weather. 1t is cruelty to animals 1t
is also cruel to burden one horse with
the heavy loads some of them are
made to carry on straw rides these
evenings, after the horse has worked
hard all day.
