ON CHAUTAUQUA
Injunction Matter Put Off
Until Next Monday by
Judge Hough.
NO ACTION TAKEN
BY GUARANTORS
Attorney General and States Attorny
Threaten Prosecution if Health
Board Order Is Violated-Chaut
qua Representative Present.

BrattIeboro Chautauq3la guarantors
met last evening expecting to hear what
Judge liougls decision was on the ques
ton Of making permanent the injunction
Issued by Judge Howe restraining the
state board of health from enforcing its
order against holding ahautauquas in
Vermont this year, because Of the preya-
! nee Of infantile paralysis. Instead of
learing the decision, however, they were
I'D by Hartman Z B. Smith of the LEGAL
,sociation that Judge Hough could not
hear the case yesterday and had post
.poned the hearing to next Monday, which
tile day before the Chau-auqua was
eheduled to tart here
There was much Of interest in the
meeting, however. Miss Derr. represent
~ Dr. Pierson who is managing director
,of the Swarthmore Chautauqua, was
present and was given permission to give
4 message from l)r, Pierson 1t was to
the effect that last Year III several states
where there Wa- nfaHti.c paralysis
there was operation between the aeso-
citation and health boards whereby enter
tainments were given III towns where
there was no paralysis and that not a
case developed as a result OF the meetings.
j Dr. Pierson apparently misunderstood the
situation, az lie asked that inquiry be
made Of the state board Of health to learn
If It WAS true that the board had been
restrained By the court Miss Derr re-
marked that She noted that there was nc
ban on other public meetings and moving
Ipicture entertainments and that min
istrei show was advertised for next week
Air. Smith stated THAT since the pre-
vious meeting he had consulted Attorney
General H. G. Barber, States Attorney
NV. r. Daley and Health officer Henry
Tucker. Dr. Tucker was OF the opinion
that it would be unlawful for the guaran
tors to sell tickets in the face of tn,
state board of health order. and Mr.. Bar
ber and Mr.. Daley went further and sale
that they should start prosecutions i
that were done or the Chautauqua pcopl,
undertook to give entertainments here
next week, regardless Of whether the in
junction was made permanent or not.
1t WAS brought out that before tn,
United States court issued its injunction
/ the supreme court of Vermont declined t,
E take such action
: It was the sense of the meeting that tn
: local association and gaarantors were il
E exactly the same situation rs they wer
at the last meeting and it was voted t
/ notify Miss Dcrr that She might inform
. DR. Pier>on that the guaarntor- consid
cred that they were still under order

5 There Is no question but that publ
h sentiment at the present time is sue
that it would be impossible to sell amy
c thing like. a reasonable number Of tickets
{ and while the legal status Of the guarar
Z tors has not been clearly defined it is rea
G lsonably certain that there will be II
