H. Up john, district attorney for this dis trict. The proceedings were orgin ally brought by Walter J. Coy, but the day prior to the change in the district attorneyship the state was made a party to the suit. "In dismissing this suit I am merely removing the state from a proceeding in which I am satisfied the state should never have appear ed," stated District Attorney Up john. "While prior to my appoint ment I was connected with this case I immediately withdrew when I be came aware that the Governor would honor me with the appointment of District Attorney. This injunction suit should have been instituted by some party who will be injured or aggiieved through the establishment of the third saloon and the injury should be plainly shown. Is Not Proper Party. "The fact that the state was dragged into the matter 24 hours be fore the new judicial district act would become effective does not con vince me that the state is a proper party to the suit. I believe there is no authority or warrant of law for the state to so appear and as a re sult have dismissed the proceedings. "If the third saloon is a nuisance or will prove an injury to anyone in Dallas it should not be allowed to open. But this injury should be shown by the aggrieved parties. It is purely and simply a matter lying within the jurisdiction of the munic ipal authorities. I do not intend to see the expense of these proceedings saddled on the state with possible long drawn out litigation which would bring a heavy burden of ex-(M-iise onto the shoulders of the tax payer. As to the case itself I am uot connected with it in any way shape nor form and have no interest in it, whatsoever. In filing the mo tion to dismiss it I acted purely for the best interests of the jieople of this district who are already suf ficiently burdened with the expense of litigation." Saloon May Open.

Can't Dissolve it: Toose. When asked regarding the motion to dissolve the injunction, former deputy district attorney Walter L. J Tooze, Jr., Was emphatic in his dec laration that the motion would not stand and that the injunction could not be dissolved on motion of the District Attorney. "Mr. Coy is still a party to that suit," said he, "and therefore the injunction cannot be set aside on motion of the state. The state may relinquish its part of the action, but, so long as Mr. Coy re mains a party to the injunction pro ceedings, the matter is still in force. ' ' County Court Names Three Members W. V.
