Following public announcement last night by Attorney General Palmer that the purposes of the department of justice are the same now as they were be- fore, which was in turn followed by a statement telling of the creation of a new bureau by the department with William J.

Judge Wolfe Holds That General Assembly Intend ed to Permit Open Sab
 bath By Wording of Law.

New Haven, June 4.-Cases in which the allegation was that the secular law had been violated at Savin Rock a week ago Sunday by concessionaires, 65 of whom were ar rested and taken before Judge Martin, who held that some were technically guilty and others really guilty were dismissed in common pleas court to- day by Judge Wolfe. The conces- sionaires claimed right to do busi- ness on Sunday under permits is- sued by the superintendent of the state police under a recently enacted law. Deputy Judge Martin in the Orange court held that the law was regulatory and did not abridge any prohibition against amusements con- tained in Sunday observance laws. Among those whom he fined was the proprietor of a moving picture house who took an appeal. It was in the Orange court that Judge Bryant had previously ruled that a moving pie ture exhibition did not violate the Sunday laws.
 Judge Wolfe of the common pleas court in dismissing the cases said that local authorities could not inter- fere with the provisions of a state law and the law in question gave the superintendent of the state police the right to license amusements seven days a week.
 Holds No Law Violated
 Judge Wolfe found that Samuel A. De Waltoff violated no law in keep ing open his amusement device 'tl . coaster" on Sunday. De Waltoff had been found guilty and fined on this charge, although only technically so in running his motion picture place.
 The court said that if the general assembly had intended to exclude Sundays from the law it should have used the term week days,' or term .iexcept Sunday" and not the word .'daily." These words are not con- 'spicuous by their absence but sec ton clearly indicates by the use of the word daily that Sundays were included in days on which amuse- ments can be run.
 The court said the accused sought to justify his acts by reason of the law which vests certain powers with the state police head, and the said au- +hority "can license the doing of an act now prohibited by section 645O and commonly known as the Sunday secular law
 Judge Wolfe also said:
 .'The court has nothing to do with the wisdom of the present law nor rhe proceeds that led to it's enact ment.'
