Bring Suit

FRESNO, July Through a deci-
sion rendered BY Judge Church of the
superiorcourt this afternoon overruling z
portions OF a demurrer of the city at
torney TO a suit for recount filed by
Harry p Black, a local saloonman, the
recent election whereby it was voted to
close the saloons in Fresno is declared
invalid because the polls were closed at
o'clock instead of 5.
The city charter provided that the
polls should close at 5 and the city
attorney so advised According 10
Judge Church this is in conflict with
the state law. The same reasoning
which invalidated the saloon closing
would invalidate the election Of mayor
and trustees. only the time for raising
that point has elapsed.
The trustees are reported divided on
the course 10 take. Some favor holding
another election, while others argue
that even II the recent election was
technically invalid, the voters expressed
their choice and the trustees should
pass q valid dry ordinance
Two other cases brought by saloon
men are pending One involves the
point whether the granting OF a license
for a year prevents the closing Of q
saloon in the meantime. This is ex-
pected 20 be decided tomorrow.
