LEGAL SNAG.
Continued from Page one.)

Eben w. Freeman. counsel for the
municipal officers named in the bill.
moved to dismiss the bin on the
ground that the court has no jurisdie-
ton, the petition not having set forth
on its face the jurisdiction of the
court. He also contended that the pc
titioners failed to specify that the pc
titioners were electors. as is required.
He argued that unless the petition
shows on the face that the court has
jurisdiction they cannot now amend
it. the time limit of 30. days follow
ing the election in which such com
plant must be filed having expired.
The petition was dated on the Goth
day after the election.
Fred " Matthews. attorney for the
compliments. replied To the argu-
ments.
The judges overrued the motion to
dismiss the complaint In announcing
the decision Judge Cornish said they
had grave doubts as to the sufIiciency
of the point raised regarding the cleo
tors. AS they thought they would not
assume the responsibility of deciding
whether the allegations We're sufficient
they overruled the motion.
Mr.. Freeman had also contended that
the legislative act creating the court
was unconstitutional in that Il specidi
court had been created which really was
intermediary between the lowest and thu
highest jurisdiction. The court did moi
rule on this point Judge Cornish stated
that the defendants rights are safe
guarded. by the right to appeal to the
full bench of the law court after the
hearing.
Court was suspended until o'clock this
afternoon.
1t was understood that the taking oil
evidence would begin when court resum
ed the hearing late this afternoon. Judge
Cornish announced that official engage
ments of the two justices will necessta Z
night
The proceedings came to an abrupt
termination for the present, late this aft
ernoon, when Associate Justice Haley oil
the supreme court granted a petition for
4 writ of prohibition to prevent Asso-
ciate Justices Cornish and Hanson con-
tinung the hearing. The writ was served
on Judge Hanson, at 3.45, and an officer
was awaiting the appearance of Judge
Cornish at o'clock when the hearing
was to have been resumed. The writs
are returnable on April 9, so that the
hearing cannot be held previous to that
date.

Although Beverly is by no means as
strong q play as "Graustark, or the
Prisoner Of Zenda," it is neverthe-
less an entertaining production and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the Opera
>house audience, Tuesday evening. The
emotional interest of the play centers
around the love of Beverly Calhoun OF

American girl, for Baldos the noun
taineer. Who turns out before the cur
tain falls in the last act to be Prince
Danton, the dethroned ruler of DAVIS
