that of Lord Kitchener and that his
lordships official representative eX-
presses surprise that IL should have
been regarded possible that Lord
Kitchener used such expressions"
The official press bureau issued the

with reference to so-called inter-
Wow with Mr.. Cobb: Although Lord
Kitchener saw Mr.. Cobb a few minutes
October 81, nothing in the nature OF a
special interview was granted and tho

his interview with Lord Kitchener;
BY arrangement OF a third person OF
prominence in England. 1 did see LORD
Kitchener October 81 for about FORTY
minutes / used no pencil and paper
during the conversation, following tho
custom of interviewers. 1 afterward
reproduced the conversation with LORD
Kitchener as exactly as l could. 1 did
not deliberately or willfully misrepre-
sent him and / am quite positive that
1 caught his meaning and as nearly
as possible the text OF what he said
and I am sure that I quoted him cor
rectly. I have had some experience
as an interviewer and / have a fairly
good memory.

HEARING IN HOTEL CASE
POSTPONED TO DEC. Il
Answer by Defendants Says Trial by
Jury and Constitutional Rights
Are Denied.

Hearing on the question of the con-
stitutionality of the Kenyon red light"
law was postponed today by Justice
Mccoy to December II. The question
is raised in the Ardmore Hotel case
both by the owners Of the property and
by Franklin c. Jackson. who conducts
the hosiery. The claim is made that
a trial by jury is denied by the law,
and that the owner of the property is
penalized for an alleged act of his
tenant over whom he has no authority.
Mr.. Jackson late yesterday afternoon
filed an answer to the rule issued
against him to show cause why the
hotel should not be declared a nui-
sance under the Kenyon law. He de-
MES that any nuisance ever existed
or was permitted to exist at his hotel,
and declares that the business has been
properly and orderly conducted. He
also challenges the constitutionality
of the law. I'm it's last analysis this
proceeding is nothing more" say Attor-
neys N. 8. Bowles and John Ridout for
the defendant, than an attempt un-
der the guise Of an equity proceeding
to conduct a common law proceeding
without affording defendant the right
guaranteed to him by the Constitution
of the United States to a trial by jury"
Guests Observed No Violation.
Attached to the answer of Mr. Jack
son are sixteen affidavits from guests
and former patrons of the hotel prais-
ing the manner in which the business
was conducted and declaring they have
never observed any violation of the
law. Among the deponents are two
ministers of the gospel. Rev J. r
Pentuff and Rev G. L. Allen. The
former says he was guest last July
and August and states that had the
hotel borne an unsavory reputation l
would not have remained guest
there" The other clergyman declares
his observation of the guests led him
to the conclusion that they acted like
ladies and gentlemen"
