Federal Judge Thomas
Issues Order Extending
Injunction, Recently
Granted To Three Pro-
prietors
Corporation Counsel Rules
That Building Code, Re-
Gently Adopted, Is Not
Retroactive.

New Haven, Dec 23.--Restraining
orders which Judge Edwin s. Thorn
as had given to managements of
three large theaters here to prevent
Interference by municipal authorities
in New Haven and the state police in
the operation of those houses were
made injunctions and continued until
future date today.
One theater had been voluntarily
closed by the management because,
having had its license recalled by
Chief of Police Smith under an order
of Mayor Fitzgerald it was unable to
| ascertain wherein the city building
code had not been lived UP to. This
management obtained a restraining
| order so it could reopen without in
| reference.
| Two other houses were protected
| by restraining orders as after losing
their licenses and permits to show
| films, they had gone to the courts to
prevent Chief Smith from closing
them
Hearing Today
In the United States court today,
the hearing was upon the conduct OF
| the orders as injunctions. Judge
Thomas. after arguments had been
made, gave one to the theater which
had voluntarily closed. Counsel then
argued for the other two Jointly. Just
as one of the attorneys was summing
up with a plea to Judge Thomas to
grant the injunctions for period in
which it would be possible to secure
from the corporation counsel an opin-
ion as to whether the new building
code was retroactive or not Corpora
ton Counsel William L. Bennett rose
and said:
Is Not Retroactive
1T is no secret that / am of tho
opinion that the code is not retro
active. I gave an opinion to this eff
feet to Building Inspector Austin on
date prior to the Rialto fire"
The court at once granted injunc-
tons to both theaters.
The statement of Judge Bennett
came as a surprise and it created a
stir. There has been controversy
since the Rialto theater fire among
city and state officials whose duties
have been to inspect theaters as to the
responsibility for the inspection Of the
ing Inspector Austin said he did not
inspect the Rialto theater after the
new building code became effective
because he did not believe it was re-
troaCtiVe.
Was Mayors Action.
The licenses of theaters were re-
called after Mayor Fitzgerald, who sat
at the inquest into the theater fire
and heard considerable testimony had
announced that no theater in this city
had conformed to the new building
code. The board of aldermen has
been called into special meeting to-
night to act on petitions from theater
management some . in all who
desire that their permits and licenses
he rc-issued by Chief Smith despite
the order from the mayor. Theater
men want the issue settled in court.
In United States court today after
the iniunctions had been granted
counsel for the theater arrangements
- stated that their clients would make
every effort to alter their houses to
conform to whatever changes the au-
d thorites state and municipal, may
deem necessary.
The outcome of the court cases to-
day is said to forecast action by the
aldermen which will give the houses
3 the right to operate legally.
