FIGHT on FRAUD ORDERS.
Appellants Say That. Only Lottery Schemes
Can BE Barred.

WARRINGTON, April li.-Notioe Of the
Temporary Injunction restraining the post
master az Kansas CITY from putting into
effect the fraud order issued by the Post
once Department against the Haydock
Distilling Company and Becker Bros a Co..
two concerns doing a mail order whiskey
business, was received by the Attorney
Genetal for the Department to-day.
1t u inferred by the Department ofbcials
that the temporary injunction will be made
permanent and the associate Attorney
General announced that an appeal would be
taken at onos. This will bring the case
before the United States District Court Of
Appeals. which sits at st. Paul on May 1.
The law dives a case Of this kind precedence,
and every effort viii be made TO obtain
quick decision.
The question involved Ia one that has
never been raised before OF adjudicated,
Ringing upon the application or reference
OF single word in the statute, The statute
empowers the Postmaster-Generalt 70 issue
a fraud order upon satisfactory evidence
70 him that any person or company is en-
gagged in conducting any lottery, gift enter
prise or scheme for the distribution Of
money OF OF any ANsA VI bo~opAoA fANRoANyt
by lot, chance, or drawing Of any kind, or
that any person OF company lie conducting
any other scheme OF device for obtaining
money or property Of any kind through the
mails by means Of false or fraudulent pre-
tenoes, representations or promises"
The fraud orders In question were based
on the allegation that the two companies
were securing business through false rep
reservations In their adyeT tisements, the
false representations being admitted by
the manager Of the companies. The Kan
eas City Judge, however, holds that fraud
order cannot issue for false pretences and
INTERPRETATIONS Of this character, and
contends that the word 'othef- in the
statute quoted refers back 10 the pre-
cedinR words lottery, gift enterprise, ,
40. Therefore his decision Is that an indi-
Vidual OF company cannot be denied the
use OF the mails unless he OF Il Ia engaged
In some kind Of a lottery business.
The importance Of the question Involved
Il apparent when II is known that % per
cent. o. the fraud orders issued by the
Post once Department are based on the
Interpretation Of the law that such orders
Hhan igsne against persons securing bust
ness through false o. fraQdulent pretenoea,
r0proaantabona e. promises.

BILL TO REGULATE TRAFFIC
introduced at Albany at the Desire Of Com
missioner MeAdOO.

ALBAST, April I1.-Assemblyman Tomp-
kins to-day introduced bill giving
the New York city Police Department
authority 10 make such rules and regu-
lations as may be necessary for the handling
and regulating OF all vehicles on the pub
lie streets. The bill II desired by Police
Commissioner McAdoo, who has made
the following statement:
Il can assure the Legislature that there
IL no subject in which the people OF this
city are so much Interested as IN that of
making the public streets and avenues
safe to pedestrians and orderly and pass
able for all kinds Of vehicles. The present
efforts of the Police Department TO this
end have been hampered somewhat by
attempts to show that the present provi-
sions Of the Charter do not give us the power
to make rules and directions for the govern
ment OF vehicle traffic in the interest Of
life and health. and / believe that this
amendment will clear away any doubts
that may exist and would certainly be
welcomed by the overwhelming majority
Of the people Of this city. II the members
Of the committee to whom this bill will be
presented could read the mail. which comes
TO this ofice and bear on all sides the com
mendation Of the present efforts TO give
the people a chance to move about with
safety on the streets, which belong to the
public i am quite sure they would not
hesitate about reporting this amendment
favorably and see that il passes before
the present legislative session closes.

ALBANY, April 1.-THE Assembly Excise
Committee has decided TO report favorabtyt
the Assembly Senator RAines's bin amending
the excise law 80 as 70 put out Of business
the Raines law hotels. This action was
taken after a hearing on the bill this after
noon at which the Rev. Lee w. Beattie,
superintendent Of the Madison Church
House Of New York city, announced that
with hardly an exception the 1900 Ratnes
law hotels In New York city were con.
i know this TO be fact for have per-
sonally visited over 500 OF them, and the
conditions found were awful
The RAines law amendments place the
responsibility for fake hotels on the build
ing. health and FIRE departments Of q city,
for unless the applicant for a hotel license
has a freproof building and his building
comes up to the requirements Of the regu-
lations OF those departments he cannot have
a license.
Congressman W. s. Bennett. represent
ing the nt-Sdoon League and the c0m-
mittee OF fourteen, favored the amend
ments and said that the majority OF people
who took out hotel licenses since 1893 had
done 90 for the purpose OF oonducuhS
immoral places.
W. j. Tanning, representing the New
York State Hotel Mems Association, said
that while the statements made were true
still the amendments would put out Of
business a hundred reputable hotels which
had been built since 1895 and were not
strictly hreproof.

TO wink at violations Of the Building law
