Injunctions Served In Charleston Arc l ikely to He .Made Permanent. Columbia, Oct. 8,?No little inter? est wi's aroused when it was learned here tonight that four injunctions similar to the injunctions served on the proprlctori of (he Isle of Palms resort on September 13th were today served on other Charleston resorts aa follows: The Charleston Hotel, In? cluding the New Charleston Hotel Company, Rlddook & Byrns. proprie? tor, and Ernest Brown, an employee; the Argyle Hotel, Including the Argyle Hotel Company, Rlddook & Byrns, proprietors, and Ernest Gill man, an employee; a Market street restaurant conducted by Rlddock & Byrns, Danny, Nixon, an employee, and J. F. Walsh, as owner of the premises; the Schuetzenplatz, owned by the German Ride Club of Charles? ton and ?Mlnzenmaire an employee, wh ? is i.ara/i d as the active keeper and manager of the resort. The injunctions were obtained by Attorney General Lyon, who appeared before Associate Justice Eugene Oar\, at Abbeville, on Monday and present? ed a.petition similar^ to that on which the Injunction against the Isle of Palms was granted, along with affida? vits to show that the places named were resorts prohib'ted as "nuisances" by the present liquor law, in which liquor not analyzed and found to be pure is sold and in which persons are permitted to resort for the purpose of drinking alcoholic bever? ages. Aa to the allegation that liquor in these resorts has not been analyzed In accordance with the law affidavits are presented from the members of the Charleston County board of con? trol. In the case of the Schuotzen platz affidavits are also presented from John Burton and Thomas Kelly, members Of the rural police, who state that they raided the club rooms ot this organisation on July 3 and 11, and on the first occasion secured six bottles of beer and one bottle of whis? key, on the second secured ten bottles of beer and one of whiskey. ( There ere also affidavits from Dis? pensary Auditor West aa to the alle? gations that the places named were used as resorts for the drinking of whiskey. There are other similar af? fidavits. Section 29 of the Carey Cothran law is as follows: "All places where persons are peimitted to resort for the purpose of drinking alcoholic liquors or beverages are hereby de? clared nuisances, and the keeper or manager of such places upon con? viction shall be .punished as provided in Section 1 of this Act." It is under this section that the proceedings are brought. The injunctions served today are, of ?ourse. temporary, and the order is made returnable before the entire Su? preme Court on the day that the court meets here in November In regular session. If the respondents fofiow the policy of the Isle of Palms respon? dents and decline to make any return or to either deny or admit the allega? tions the court will doubtless follow !ts decision of last Friday In the Isle of Palms case and make the injunc? tions permanent. Under those condi? tions if any one of the persons named In the Injunctions violate the court's order he or they can be punished for contempt of court without being brought before a jury for trial. Toad Centuries Old. President Roosevelt having settled the question of the cross saddle in fa? vor of the girl who prefers to ride her horse astride should now turn to the nautre fakirs.
