CONTEMPT CASES
 ARE POSTPONED

The contempt proceedings instituted against Sheriff Higdon, Chief of Police Bodeker and Police Officer W. M. Burge, set for a hearing before Circuit Judge A. o. Lane yesterday at 5 o'clock, were con- tinued until next Saturday.
 The charges of contempt, it will be re- called, grew out of the opening of the safe in the soft drink establishment of George Howell on the corner of Morris avenue and Twentieth street The inci- dent was one of the most interesting In which the prohibition law has figured locally The police were enjoined by Judge Lane from opening the safe, which 1t was afterward proved contained whisky. However, the sheriff was over looked, and during the absence of the coroner from the city, he being the only officer who can serve papers on the sheriff, Colonel Higdon let in on the safe and opened it with the aid of lock ex- pert.
 The sheriff, 1t is said, was never served with papers and consequently was not aware officially of the existence of the in- function.

The people OF Cleveland are 10 at
last have an opportunity TO express
themselves on the security franchise
granted to the Cleveland Railway Co.
on the basis OF which the Municipal
Traction Co. now operates the ears Of
that city.
The common council. acting under
the Schmidt law providing for popular
vote on street railway franchises, set
oct. % as the date for the referen'
dunn. This is the result OF a long agi-
tation in which Mayor Tom l.. John
son and the city council. which he
controls, have hitherto blocked all ef-
forts 10 obtain vote.
A month ago, when the subject OF 4
referendum was first preached and the
striking street railway employees. who
had been beaten by the Municipal
Traction Co, had obtained enough sig
natures TO petitions to demand refer
endum on the question. Mayor John
son declared that IL would not be fair
to vote on the question until the NUM-
cipal Traction Co. had had chance
TO show what 1t could do with the
street car system. He minated be-
sides that the Schmidt law might not
be constitutional The car company
had been greatly hampered by the
strike OF Its employees, and the people
were disgruntled because OF the lack
of service. Later a three-cent fare
was charged. with a penny for trans
| fers. and other moves were made that
were unpopular. The mayor wanted
no referendum at that time. Then
two suits were filed attacking the
validity OF the security franchise and
the lease by which the Municipal
company operates the Cleveland Rail
way Co The mayor pointed TO the
actions as additional reasons why the
referendum should not be held, declar-
ing the council should await the out
come Of the action before considering
the question OF popular vote.
