Residents viii Ask Court
Order to Block City
Improvement.

Residents on English avenue, from
Southeastern avenue to Brookville
road, will appear before Judge By
ron K. Elliott, superior court four,
Wednesday morning 70 ask a tenn
porary restraining order against the
board of public works letting con-
tracts to resurface and pave Eng
lish avenue.
The hearing Wednesday is the
outgrowth of an injunction suit filed
by Stephen j. and Catherine D.
Ward, owners OF property at the
southwest corner of English and
Emerson avenues, to prevent the
board from paving the street.
The Wards allege that the board
Of works authorized the street i'm
provements in two resolutions at a
total cost of $145,000 They aver
that the passage Of the two reSolu-
tons was accomplished to evade the
statute which limits the cost OF i'm
provements to so per cent of the
assessed value Of the property. They
say the total assessed valuation OF
the property on the street is $4,000
The suit also AYERS that the board
Disseminated in that one resolution
for reSurfacing specifies asphalt
paving only, while the other permits
four different types Of paving. The
petition asserts that this discrim-
nation prevents competitive bid
ding.
Depreciation Of property values
through illegally of the resurfacing
and paving resolutions is forecast by

TWO CLEARED
OF CONTEMPT
IN PRESS CASE
Cleveland Editor and His
Aid Continue Fight
Against Charge,
BAKER BLASTS JUDGE
lUrist Is Called 'DUpe of
Race Track Interests
by Counsel.

Eu rfted PTTfs
CLEVELAND, o., July Icon
tempt of court against two officers
Of the Cleveland Press, a Scripps-
Howard Newspaper, were dismissed o.
day.
Arguments we're continued for
dismissal Of citations against two
others.
A lengthy statement vas made
from the bench by Common Pleas
Judge Frederick P. Wslther, in
which he defended his action in
granting an injunction to operators
OF ThiStledown race track.
Critical editorials appearing in
tI1e Cleveland Press, the basis for
the contempt citations, were untrue
in as far as they apply to the Judge,
Walther declared.
Judge Walther heard himself de-
scribed as "a dupe OF the race track
interests" when Newton D. Baker,
chief counsel for the Press execu-
tives, opened argument for dis
n1issaI of the case.
Two Are Dismissed
Dismissed of the citations against
Joseph A. Finster, circulation man.
ager of the Press. and John Mel
link, business manager, came on
motion of John A. Cline, prosecutor
for Judge Walther.
Baker explained that Louis B.
Settler, as editor, and Carlton A.
Matson, as chief editorial writer,
we're fully responsible.
There never has been another
such an injunction as this in the
history of equity practice in this
country" Baker told Judge Walther.
IF you can produce anything like
It, I'll waive the remainder of this
argument"
Baker opened his argument by
distinguishing between contempt,
libel and criticism.
The editorials discussing the in
junction issued by Judge Walther
we're criticisms" he said.
IF they annoyed the judge, he
had other recourse than contempt
citations Baker said -.
Argues mo Contempt"
Baker argued that there was no
contempt. because the editorials did
not obstruct justice, and that they
could not have been in contempt,
because the order of the court was
no judicial order at all.
Judge Walther cited The Press
representatives following publication
of an editorial in The Press last
Thursday which commented critical
" on an injunction granted the
Thistledown race track interest last
week. The injunction restrained the
sheriff from interfering with racing
operations or the contribution
betting system.
In the citation. prepared at MS
direction by Attorney Read. Judge
Walther claimed the editorial IN
question had sought to "vilify, de-
grade. deTame and intimidate the
Judge and his court The allegation
further was mads that the injunc-
ton case still was pending before
the court and the comment offered
vas made in an effort to influence
the judge.

Monster Rises
Lake ChampIain Fisher
men Declare They Saw
Sea Serpent.

By United Press
VXTILLSBORO, N. Y, July 10
w Three young fishermen, still
excited over their experience, in
sisted today they had seen the
famous Lake Champlain sea SER
pent, whose existence has been
affirmed and denied by confuS-
ing combination of fact and fancy
during the more than 300 years
since the lakes discovery.

lage and two companions. Davis
Riley and Wesley Quimby, we're
fishing at the mouth of the Bou-
quet river Sunday when what ap-
peared to be a huge serpent or
fish thrust it's head high above the
surface of the lake.
The monster began shaking its
tail violently, lashing the water
into a sea of foam.
Terrified by the spectacle, Bridge
did not stop running until he had
reached the village, two miles
away.
Riley and Quilnby also retired
precipitately, but said there could
be no mistake about what they
had seen.
The water was disturbed for
acres around, they said.
Bridge previously had ridiculed
tales of a Lake Champlain sea
serpent.
The serpent has been something
of a legendary figure in this sec
ton. and the last time he was re-
ported seen was twenty years ago,
when he appeared between Port
Henry and Grown Point.
In the chronicles of Samuel De
Champlain. Who discovered the
Lake in 1909, it is related a fish
twelve feet in length. with a, great
mouth lined with rows of sharp
teeth, was encountered.
Attempts we're made to spear
the creature, but its hide was too
tough.
