+" DIS0RDERLY"
RULING

"A city ordinance providing for
the punishment of every. person
who shall, on any street, sidewalk
or alley, or public place, or in or
upon any private house, building or
premises, act in noisy, riotous or
disorderly manner, mereyI uses the
term 'riotous' in its popular mean
ing Of wanton and boisterous, and
has no allusion to the technical
crime of riot"
This decision, handed down by
Supreme Court Judge c. J. Revis,
with Anders, Dunbar and White
concurring. is the one on which
Judge S. A. Mann of the police
court is basing his decisions in the
disorderly conduct cases, brought
by the city against street speakers
1t is a decision rendered to II. l..
KEENAN,, sustaining conviction on
disorderly conduct under the pres.
, ent Spokane city ordinance, by
Judge w. l.. Belt
Thus, II is seen, that so long as
the street speaking cases are
brought to court under the disor'
derby conduct charges, Judge Mann
can scarcely be unseated in his
judgment, finding the defendants
guilty, despite the fact that he has
practically ruled that free speech
is constitutional right.
City officials openly admit that
they could scarcely hope to convict
and punish the street speakers un
der the old ordinance that appears
to Illegally prohibit the practice OF
street speaking.

SPECIAL
POLICE
APPOINTED TO HELP
HANDLE SITUATION

In all As special policemen have
been appointed by Mayor Pratt to
assist the police in suppressing the
i. w. w. free speech insurrection.
The men are appointed under the
five-day emergency provision Of the
city charter, which permits the
mayor to appoint special officers
whenever he deems the peace of
the city seriously menaced. He has
declared an emergency in the pres
ent instance, and can appoint all
the special officers that he deems
necessary. The men receive 1915
per day and the whole special force
Is costing the city $l34 per day.
The creation of the special force
has come as timely move for the
gang of city hall politicians that
fill such jobs with their favorites.
In the list Of specials appointed by
the mayor will be found names that
have been prominent as poll book
holders, challengers and handy men
In democratic city politics in the
past. Here Is the list:

TWENTY-FIVE WRiTS.
SHERIFF GETS FEES--NIT:

Declaring that the object of Bruce
Rogers, attorney for the /. w. W.,
in asking for % writs of habeas
corpus this morning, was for the
purpose of causing trouble, Judge
J. D. Hinkle of the superior court
refused to issue more writs until
the cases of Joseph buddy and
Arthur Edge, for whom writs were
issued yesterday, are disposed of.
Judge Hinkle took different
view of the matter this afternoon.
and announced to Attorney Moore
for the defendants that he had
granted the application for the
writs, and would hear every case
that comes along.
Tomorrow the case will be fought
out on its merits, the attorneys for
the l. W. w. demanding that the
prisoners be released on the
ground that they were Illegally ar
rested and are in the same way de.
prived Of their liberties.
The whole question of street
speaking may be gone into, but the,
