ACTING JUDGE M'kEE HOLDS OR.
DlNANCE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Opinion Will be Handed Down This
Mornine-ls Probable End of
Famous Case.

In police court this morning Acting
Judge David A Mckee will formally
render a decision against the City OF
Wheeling in the famous suburban au-
toist cases. Judge Mckee completed
the preparation OF the decision and
communicated the result to the attor-
neys in the case yesterday afternoon,
but the public announcement will nor
be made until court convenes this
morning.
In view Of the opinion rendered by
the Judge on the warrants, the de-
cision against the city will come as
great surprise. most people having
received the impression that the law
on which the suits were brought was
held constitutional This. however.
was not the case. as Judge Mckee
merely rendered an opinion on the
legality OF the warrants sworn out BIZ
License Officer Ingram, and the qucs-
ton Of residence or non-residence was
not a factor in that decision. II was
merely stated in the warrants that
the persons named were violating the
license ordinance provision imposing
tax on auto owners. and the judges
decision merely sustained the sufi-
NAfhAe VI AufEt warrants ana 0enl90
the motion TO quash.
The present decision follows the
trial OF the cases and takes up the
constitutionality of the nonresident
provision of the ordinance. which is
held unconstitutional. The defendants
In the cases tried yesterday were
Bernie Mcclure and otto Schenk. both
OF whom were alleged 10 own and OPP
crate machines IN the city and TO
come under the provision OF the ordi-
nance. II was intended to have the
Schenk warrant apply TO the bi:
freight trucks operated by that firm.
but II was drawn against otto Schcuk
individually. and ~ Mr. Schenk owns
and operates car. the case was tried
anyhow.
The decision will be considerable of
a disappointment 10 the city officials.
who were hoping that some much
needed cash would be brought into
the city Golfers from this source. n
is not probable that an appeal Will
be taken. and the decision probably
means the end Of one OF the most I'm
teresting license controversies in
which the city has ever been engaged.
Following the trials yesterday. Mr..
otto Schenk stated TO License or.
hccr Ingram that his firm was consid-
ering the payment Of the license. no
matter what the decision of the court
might be. as they considered IL lust
