MIDGET GOLF LINKS
TEST CASE DROPPED
Operator Declares He Was Misin-

to Close Course.

A test case regarding the authority
of police TO force miniature golf
courses to close at 1850 o'clock at
night failed to materialize today when
no papers were filed against John Sor-
rell, operator of the Madame Queen"
course, at Connecticut avenue and Ma
comb street, who was arrested yester-
day morning and charged with keep
ing an amusement open after hours.
The case was dropped when As
sistant Corporation Counsel Edward
Welliver decided no papers should be
filed after Sorrell had stated that he
hda been misinformed by police as to
the closing hours. In conversation with
Mr. Welliver today, Sorrell is said to
have explained that he had been told
that IL o'clock midnight was the hour
at which the courses would have to
close. He added that the persons who
were playing on the course operated
by him. had purchased their tickets
prior to 1880.
Alvin L. Aubinoe, the owner of the
course. had been preparing to endeavor
to have the charges for violating the
law switched from the boy

gun it hopes will solve these problems.
The Gilmer, which with three other
