 Vendors Have Difficulties Cristy Brothers circus and a group of vendors of bdlloous and live nov elites caused q Wordy battle this morning at police headquarters and finally ended ly the calling in of Judge Joseph M Donovan to inter rrct the statute regarding the rights | of vendors. According 10 an inter- i protation by ono of the vendors, the balloon sellers were privileged to TO- CeiNo licenses without charge 10 sell ;thrir novelties as they were all for. nor scrviComon. Acting ChicI Thomas r. GuCkin informed inc ven dors that all of the rights of sale had been contracted for by the cir GUS and until after the parade tho outsiders had no privileges Of sale. After the parade, he informed the vendors, he would issue licenses 10 thom. Being disgruntlod, hot pro test was made but in the end, the acting chiefs interpretation was up- held as the statute left no doubt that having the right to issue a license. the chief could also withhold the same.
 Seeing the statute in their favor, i the circus men sat tight, hut finally offered to allow the privileges of sell ing novelties to a one armed vendor. But when this vendor appeared at headquartnrs the ruling made in the cases of the others affected the lone man as well as the others and he, also. had 10 abide hy the regulations.
