CAN FISCAL COURT
RESTRICT CORONER?
Question will be Looked into
by County Attorney
Barley.

1t is probable that fiscal court ex-
ceds its authority in ordering the
coroner not TO hold inquests or inqui-
sitions before consulting the county
attorney. At the lime the board
passed on the matter. County Attor-
ney Alben Barkley was not present,
and he is investigating the law. Mr..
Barley is legal advisor a of fiscal
court
Il was not present when fiscal
court passed on the coroner matter,
he explained. "The authority of any
coroner is extensive. and is prescribed
by the statutes. ! am not very
familiar with it, but will look care
fully into the matter before court
meets again.
Coroner Eaker was very much
worked up yesterday. He stated that
he held inQuests and inquisitions
where he thought them necessary
and was not under the impression
that he should have consulted any
one.

The excise board today rejected the
application of Aneas Collins for license
to conduct a barroom at pops 18th street.
at which place he at present conducts
wholesale liquor store. When Collins
filed his application, protest was made
by a number of residents and property
owners in the neighborhOod, and by the

street, Justice Gould last Tuesday issued
an order temporarily restraining the ex-
else board from considering the case be-
cause the application was declared to be
in bad form. The injunction proceedings
were withdrawn yesterday. The excise
board considered the case Of the appli-
cant, and after deciding that the appn-
cation was not properly before the board.
and in view of the strong opposition, re-
jected the same.
William w. Nillnger. who has license
to conduct a wholesale liquor store at
2O14 18th street. in the same block with
Collins, today made application to have
his license transferred to a retail license
in order to permit him to conduct a bar
