Aberdeen, s. D.-The latest ,deyel-

and moving picture houses came yes
terday. when William Wallace, acting
municipal judge, dismissed an action
brought by the league against Nc
earthly brothers, prpprietors of the
Princess theatre. a movie" house,
in which the Mccarthy brothers were
charged with disturbing an assem-
fblage, OF, people, met for religious
worship by exhibiting swithoIt.,a IL
csnse. within one mile Of the Chris
tian church, on, August, %, a moving
picture show. The defendants we're
able to exhibit a license. Issued by
the city of Aberdeen, which the court
held to abe proper authority. The
court held that the question Of
whether the performance was given
oh Sunday or on a weekday did not
matter, as the section of the code
under which the action was brought
was not the one providing for Sab
bath regulation, and stated that the
defendants, if they had, nc license,
could be prosecuted for a weekday
performance as we'll as for a Sunday
performance, but the fact that they
had a license caused, the prosecution
to fall of it's own weight in the par
ticular case in question.
