Over Arrests For Doing Bus

CITY AND COUNTY IN sLAsH
Mayor Bring. Prosecutions and County
Attorney Secures Dismissal Of Por-
ton Of Cases - Question to Be APP
pe.led to District and Supreme
Courts - Other Arrests Threatened.
;pec,al to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton. Nav 22.-Business and Off
cial circles of Newton are very much
agitated over the efforts to enforce
the Sunday closing laws. Repeated
arrests have been made, the mayor
threatens to make others. and the mat
ter will be pressed to the supreme
court for a ruling on statute that
has been on the law books OF the state
for torty-eight years but has never
been tested.
Some time ago Mayor George Cook
ordered all business places closed on
Sunday. Two weeks ago he caused the
arrest of Townsend Bros, confection-
ers, for keeping their place OF business
open. Defendants were tried before
the mayor, were convicted, and at once
appealed to the district court. The
store was opened again last Sunday.
and the proprietors were again ar
rested. When the second case was
called County Attorney Ed Malmberg
appeared and moved to dismiss the
case, on the grounds that the first
suit was pending in the district court
and that taxpayers outside of Newton
were being put to a needless expense.
The mayor, refused to dismiss the case.
and a change Of venue was taken to
the court of Justice n. S. Morrison.
Here the county attorney filed a writ
ten dismissal of the case on the same
grounds. and the case was therefore
dismissed today.
This places the prosecution OF the
case in the position Of having to raise
funds and give bonds TO continue the
suit as individuals, and lets the state
out of it, The ministers association
has offered its support and moral
backing to the mayor, and the citizens
are divided in sentiment and taking
sides The statute under which the
action is brought has been in exist
ence forty-eight years. but has never
been passed upon by the higher
courts.
The mayor threatens to arrest all
business men who open their stores
on Sunday next. and other arrests are
certain to follow.
One year ago a similar agitation re-
suited in the arrest of druggist
named Westbrook. and the case was
tried before jury. Westbrook was
accused of selling cigars. and on the
grounds that they were necessity the
jury brought in verdict of ac-
quittal.
