GATHERING NAY BE:
 HELD IN CHANDLER.
 |S JURY'S VERDICT

Chandler. Ariz., Jan. 29-the Con stitutionality of the closing order of the county board of health as regards the influenza epidemic was attacked in the Chandler justice court Saturday. following the trial of J. D. Rose and George Brown. who were arrested for operating a dance in Monroe hall last week.
 A jury of r men returned q verdict of not guilty after being out 20 min utes. F. C. Struckmeyer represented the defendants and L. Nj. Laney and Robert Jarrett were attorneys for the state. The defense based it's case on the fact that the order was discrimina- tory and class legislation, and that the order did not include all places of assemblage. The order in question is as follows:
 'AIl country schools. churches. pict- ure shows, dance halls, and all places of entertainment will cloce and remain so until further notice"
 The verdict of the jury was unani- nous. the iurYmen explaining after the trial was over. that it appeared an at tempt was being made to discriminate against Chandler while places of amusement in other towns were per mitted to run. Another point on their decision was that the officers permitted the dance to continue after the arrests were made, thus permitting the spread of the disease, if it could be so spread. and. therefore not doing their full duty as health officers.
 The county attorney held that it was necessary to enforce certain orders and regulations for the conservation of the public health. and that there must be some recognized authority to carry out such orders. pr. A E. Nichols. county health officer, admitted on the witness stand that there were differences of opinion among doctors as to the char acter of the disease and that all medical men were not agreed as to the best method to prevent the spread of Span ish influenza.
