Mr.. Townsend said that the arbitra-

1902 by a commission showed the de-
STABILITY of such a method of bring
ing labor troubles to an end Some
labor leaders" he said, may desire to

the same desire. but" he added, this

BRAYTON NOT
MEDDL|NC IN
XMAS AFFAIR

The police board will settle that mat
ter at the proper time" said Chairman
William II. Luther Of the commission tins
morning.
lie referred TO a report that some OF
the liquor dealers planned to bring out
side pressure to bear upon the board 10
prevent It from acceding 10 the request or
labor Unions TO close the saloons In this
city on Christmas day
1t has been stated that certain members
of the Liquor Dealers association had
gone. or intended TO go. TO Gen. Charles
II. Brayton instead OF direct to the police
board; and relative TO this, Chairman
Luther said
Il haven't heard the report before and
/ don't believe H. Moreover, l don't be-
lieve Gen. Brayton would interfere I'm
thing Of that kind" he added, emphatic
ally.
Gen. Brayton did not care TO be inter
viewed today, but Chairman Luthers idea
OF his attitude on the question is gener
ally regarded by both bartenders and sa-
loon keepers as the correct one.
IL IS understood that the police board
will hold hearing next Tuesday after
noon and the advsability Of ordering the
saloons closed on Christmas day. will be
considered and both sides will be repre-
Sentod. one or more OF the labor bod
les are expected to back up the request.
There are two sides TO this question"
said one liquor dealer today. we are
practically the only business men, not
engaged in works OF necessity. who keep
open on that day; but we have liei Ger
competition in our business than any
other. and we pay higher license fees. oar
expenses so on whether our doors are
open or closed, and the bartenders want
their full weeks pay. for Christmas as for
all other weeks.
"f the police board continues to grant
requests TO close us UP on holidays, IL
may soon be asked to close us on other
days: and the few hotels, which pay
smaller license fees. will do most of the
business"

LEGAL POINTS
RAISED IN THE
AFFLECk CASE

In the district court today, James
Affieck was tried on the charge Of keeping
an unlicensed female fox terrier
Dog officer Dean testified that he had
seen the dog enter Mr.. Atilecks premises
for two years. and that. according to the
records, this year the dog was not IL
censed
He said that In the presence OF Lieut.,
O'Neil. himself and Mrs. Afieck, Mr..
Affieck said he did not license the dog. as
he expected 10 give ~ away.
Lieut.. O'Neil corroborated the testi-
mony ot Dog officer Dean and said he
knew the dog, as 1t bit him on the wrist.
and I've had shot al II twice. He had also
seen the dog In the hallway OF Mr..
Afleck's house at l21 Fountain street.
officer Hugh Keenan, testified that he
had heen the dog In the Afiieck house on
several occasions. as did officer J. A. Lee.
William NJ Murray, a veterinary sur
geon at 81 Sabin street. testified that he
had seen the dog for four years in the
house and Sard OF the Affecks The dog
had bitten HIS child. and he now has a
suit against Mr.. Afiieck for damages. He
said the dog had rabies when his child
was bitten.
ofncer ]. j. Lyon eorroborated the other
officers, and this closed the case for the
prosecution.
Col p. n. Quinn. for the defense, moved
that the prisoner be discharged from ar
rest on the ground that the complaint was
not valid, and filed a motion that the COM
plaint be dismissed and Affieck discharged
from arrest, upon the ground that the
warrant was not sworn by any person and
was not dated as having been issued on
any particular date, ana that the warrant
Is IN other respects defective and insuffi e
cient.
Assistant City Solicitor Cram contenued
that the warrant was all right, that the
complaint was sworn TO by proper OF
flcer, Mr.. Dean: that u was signed ny
Associate Justice Lee, and that the oath
10 the warrant was in the printed form.
Col. Quinn pointed out that the cath
did not say who appeared and maze IT,.
and the court must issue It's warrants
substantially in legal form and not on
any form issued by the state printer.
Mr. Cram argued that the errors were
merely clerical. and that the time for tho
defendant 10 have impeached the war
rant was when he first pleaded TO the
complaint.
Col Quinn retorted that tho law did
not recognize such technicalty when
the plea was made by one not represented
by counsel. He asked that the motion
and the decision upon IL be placed on. the
record so that in case jury trial should
be sought, certain difficulties that might
attend a review OF the complaint and
warrant might perhaps be eliminated.
After some discussion over law points,
Judge Lee continued the case until Dec.
21, and held the motion for advloenent
