Action Against Moral Squad by
Van Carder Hotel Thrown
Out of Court.
CONSPIRACY CHARGE FAILS
tfurffee tiantcnbein Holds Arrest of
Seventeen AVomen Proves Offi
cers Were Justified in
Invading Premises.
Circuit Judge Gantenbein yesterday
allowed a non-suit In the $25,000 dam
age action brought by Mrs. R. A. Van
Gorder-Burnett against Police Lieuten
ant Harms, Patrolman Martin and "W.
H. Warren, secretary to Mayor Albe.
Mrs. Van Gorder-Burnett has sued for
damages alleged as a result of two
raids on the Van Gorder Hotel. At the
conclusion of testimony by the plain
tiff the defense moved for a non-suit
and Judge Gantenbein granted it.
In protesting to the motion Attorney
"Wilson T. Hume, representing- Mrs.
K. A. Van Gorder-Burnett, walked into
a judicial rebuke.
The lawyer had declared there was
nothing in any law which permitted of
a midnight raid of a hotel on warrants
that should have been served directly
after issued, at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Judge Gantenbein interrupted: "There
is considerable latitude in the construc
tion of 'forthwith' service. It stands
to reason that officers would not take
the warrants to the hotel at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. They would take,
them when they expected to find the
persons wanted in their rooms.
Value of Furnishings Disputed.
Disagreement of witnesses for the
plaintiff, with a resultant drop of more
than S00 per cent in the valuation of
the hotel furnishings, was a feature of
the cross-examination yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Burnett the day prior testi
fied that she paid 13.000 for the. fur
nishings for the Van Gorder Hotel and
she had made many repairs and im
provements since.
Kenneth Kenton, holding power of
attorney for the Hefty estate, which
owns the hotel building, was called by
th plaintiff, but admitted under cross
examination that a bill of sale was
taken for the furnishings last year In
payment of arrears of rent to the
amount of $1595. He said there was
much objection by the owners to al
lowing as large a sum for the furnish
ings. U. C. Van Gorder, son of Mrs. Burnett,
testified to the slump of business after
the raids.
Lieutenant Harms was also called by
the plaintiff and asked a few questions
os to his authority in conducting a
raid.
No sooner did Attorney Hume an
nounce that the plaintiff rested than
Attorney Maguire moved for non-suit.
Court Sees So Malice.
Attorney Hume protested that malice
had been shown and that personal
property had been damaged, listing rep
utation and good-will of the commu
nity as personal assets. -
Mr. Maguire was about to reply, but
the court cut him off.
"There is no evidence of malice even
a desire to harass or annoy," said
Judge Gantenbein. "There is no evi
dence of conspiracy. The only question
left is, was there probable cause? The
new'spaper reports recount that 17
women were arrested in the January
raid and fined. If there had been but
one or two the plaintiff might not have
known of their presence in her hotel.
I do not think that any person of her
age. or her son, could be mistaken as
to the character Tf these women. There
is no doubt of the cause for the raid
that time.
"There were few arrests at the sec
ond raid. I realize the difficulty the
proprietor of a lodging-house has in
dealing with the social question, yet it
is the duty of the police to. enforce the
ordinances. I think that even in this
second raid the officers had probable
cause.
; "As for the promise of the Mayor to
notify Mrs. Van Gorder of the presence
of any disreputable characters in her
house, he did furnish her a list at one
time, and she may be commended' for
her prompt disposal of those listed. It
is not the dity of the Mayor to give
hrr notice, however, it is her duty to
know of the presence of disreputable
people in her hotel."
FIRE.' IS INVESTIGATED
Marshal's Office Inquires Into Phar
macy Blaze "Which Threatened Loss.
An investigation into the cause of
the fire which occurred in the Harrison
pharmacy, 364 Sixth street, at midnight
yesterday, is being made by the fire
marshals office.
Prompt action by Engine 20 and
Truck 2 prevented a serious blaze, and
it is estimated that te damage does
not exceed J200. About $3000 insurance
is carried on the stock and fixtures by
the proprietor, H. D. Ryan.
The smoke was first observed by a
nearby roomer, who gave the alarm
Behind the prescription counter, where
the blaze started, is said to have been
a quantity of scattered paper.
