POOLROOM DECISIONS.
appellate Division RuIcs on Cases
against Er-C Commissioner McAdOO.

Three decisions in pOOlroom cases were handed
down yesterday by the Appellate Division OF
the Supreme Court In the first. brought by
one Cleary against ex-Commissioner McAdoo,
an order restraining the police from plcketing
a suspected place In Nassau street was vacated
because the plaintiff does not very satisfac-
torily show the legitimacy of his business
In the second case, McGorie vs.D McAdoo,
appeal was made from order vacating
similar Injunction. In this case the court found
that the records showed no afidavits as to the
nature Of the suspected place, and in their
absence ruled as follows:
There is nothing but the plain situation Of a
person engaged in an honest and reputable busi-
ness whose premises have been invaded by the
public authorities a simple assertion by the
police officers that they suspect something un-
lawful has been done the premises. The
order vacating the injunction is therefore re-
versed.
In the case of Burns VS.. McAdoo, where the
ex-Police Commissioner appealed from an in
junction order. the order modified. The
order forbade the police to picket the prem
ises and the halls and doorways leading thereto
OF No. 1925 Broadway. The second floor OF this
structure which was taken UP entirely by a
physical culture" school, the particular
place affected by the order. The court struck
out the reference TO halls and dOorways. "as it
does not appear that the defendant has any
rights with respect to them" Justices lngraham
and Clarke wrote dissenting opinions, holding
that the order vacating an injunction should be
affirmed. Justice Ingraham wrote:
The plaintiff claims in this case that the
police officers are guilty OF trespass upon his
property But If so he has his remedy by an
action for damages against all Of those who are
guilty Of or responsible for the trespaSs, and
the plaintiff in the complaint asks for damages
for what is claimed to he an illegal and unlaw-
al hvy of30 In he
performance of his duty equity has no juris-
diction to determine the question to whether
or not a crime was committed or whether or
not the business claimed 20 be criminal should
be supervised or oppressed by the police.

history OF Luna Park. The dinner began az 8
o'clock.
The lions looked on approvinsly and Fred
Thompson took a look in occasionally, but could
not be induced 70 go into the arena. There were
no speeches. Nobody was asked TO make one.
When the cigars and coffee were served shrill
whistle was heard. and the next moment the
noise OF half dozen steel sliding doors swinging
open aroused the diners Before they had time 20
ask what IL meant five magnificent lions, head
ed by the imperious Nero. rushed into the arena.
The diners turned pale and jumped here aud
there in the hope of hiding from the lions. Nero,
the king Of the show said 20 be the finest speci-
men OF the lion in captivity, swooped down on
the first table. There was not guest in sight.
When the diners found themselves again, a
full dress rehearsal Of the big show was put on,
