SEYMOUR LOSES SUIT
AGAINST FAIRS HEIRS
Court Reverses Verdict Favor
q ing Formre Detective

Former Captain of Detectives John
Seymour suffered a reversal in the
supreme court yesterday in his action
against the heirs of the late James G..
Fair to recover $28,500 damages for
breach of contract of employment.
Seymour resigned May 1, 1902, as
captain of detectives, with a salary of
$3.50 per month, to accept the posi-
ton of overseer of lands and build
ings for the Fair heirs at $500 a month.
He commended that he was under con-
tract for 10 years. Charles L. Fair
died August IA, 1902, leaving Mrs Her
mann Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Van
derbilt as the surviving heirs. Those
two discharged Seymour June %, 1904
The lower court found for Seymour in
the sum of $11,100. This judgment was
upheld by the appellate court.
AS the contract was not to be per-
formed within a year the supreme
court held that the contract must
therefore be in writing. The writ
ings were introduced in the trial, ac-
cording to the upper court, merely
showed Seymour was in the employ
of the heirs and not for a specified
time. 1t was set forth that the sug-
gestion of employment came first from
Charles Fair and that the former po-
lice captain was afterward urged by
Fair and Oelrichs to take the position
with the estate.

CIGAR DEALERS TO
FIGHT IN COURT
Effort Begun to Have Anti-Dice
Throwing Ordinance De-
Clared Unconstitutional
Police Officials Cited to Show
Cause Why Restraining Order
Should Not Be Issued

Determined to fight test case
through the courts for the purpose of
continuing, if possible, cigar counter
gambling, number of cigar dealers
yesterday secured from Superior Judge
Murasky an order citing the police
commissioners, the chief of police and
the police judges to show cause why
restraining order should not issue to
prevent the enforcement of the ordi-
nance prohibiting dice throwing for
merchandise.
The extermina ton of slot machines
is admittedly the cause of the begin
ming of the suit, which was brought
through the legal firm of Fitzpatrick,
Greeley & Greeley. With numbers of
the less legitimate retail tobacco deal
ers finding their receipts dwindling
since the slot machines were forced
from their counters the plaintiffs in the
present case determined to resort to
last measure in the hope of being able
to reinstate some kind of a gambling
game.
The plaintiffs in the action filed yes
terday are Fred C. Bates. Peter Chap
pelle, S. E. Holmes, T. w. Clancy and
John Dignan. The action is directed
against the members of the board of
police commissioners, the chief of po-
lice and the four police judges of the
city and county. The order issued yes
terday afternoon by Judge Murasky
cites these defendants to appear in his
court Thursday morning al 10 o'clock
and show cause why temporary re-
straining order should not issue to pre-
vent the enforcement of the anti-dice
throwing ordinance. The very nature
of the order, however. prevents any re-
sumption of dice throwing for merchan-
disc until the point at issue is deter
mined. Should the cigar dealers win
out in the preliminary hearing of the
case it would simply result in the issu-
ance of a temporary restraining order
pending the hearing of an application
for a permanent injunction.
