Local and Long Distance Telephone Exclusive Selling Agents for Central 4401 The Vlaccepo causing them to pause for a short time, and by this stop induct the passerby to become a customer of his place of amusement "On a thorough/are as full of people as Market street b during the business hours the stoppage of the crowd even for a very short time would naturally result in congestion, and did so, in fact, a great many times, and as long as the cause exists will continue to do so, the consequence being that the pedestrian on such occasions has either to force his way through a dense crowd or go into the cartway to avoid the obstruction. '"A further consequence is the interference with a view of the show windows of the stores on either side of the defendant's place. "The complainants and Other neighbors also complain of the ef feet upon them of the constant and persistent playing of this band from 12 o'clock noon to 6 P. M., and 7.30 P. M. to 11.30 P. M. That they are annoyed and made very uncomfortable we have no- doubt, the,effect being produced by the fact that this playing is continuous. That which might not be annoying if heard once in a while may become intolerable and maddening if listened to hour after hour, day after day and week after week. "We have, therefore, the .blocking of the street, the inter- ference of a view of adjoining-store windows and the serious disturbance of the comfort of those doing business in the im- mediate neighborhood by the noise. "This condition is caused by the effort of the defendant to advertise his business to the multitude that pass his place so that they may be induced to become patrons of his establish^ ments, as was conceded by the defendant. Indeed, the band is useless unless this very result is produced. It can hardly be contended that the right exists in any one to conduct his affairs that the comfort, convenience, health and interests of the public and the private citizen can be ignored absolutely and given no consideration. "The brief of the defendant contains citations of many cases that have reference to the noises, etc; that arise from and that are necessarily incidental to the carrying on of certain businesses, but, as has been already said, this question does not arise here. * * * REAL POINT AT ISSUE. "The real inquiry is, 'How far can one, by the constant and incessant playing of a band for advertising purposes, be per- mitted to annoy both his neighbors and the traveler on the street?' To state the proposition is to answer it No court of equity would permit it "Even so ordinarily harmless and customary a noise as the ringing of a church chime for the purpose of announcing that the hour for divine worship is approaching (than which no better excuse could be given for noise), has been enjoined in the well-known and well-reasoned case of Harrison vs. St. Mark's Church. The reasoning of. that case rules this, and we need go no further, although there are many English cases which sustain the conclusion there reached. "If this defendant has a legal right to advertise his business by a band or orchestra in continuous performance, everyone else has the same privilege. What this would lead to can readily be appreciated." * ' * * MOVING PICTURES SNAPPED IN BALLOON. North Adams, Mass.—Leo Stevens, an aeronaut,, accompanied by Mr. Frederick H. White, of New York, a photographer, made a perfect ascension from the balloon grounds November o, in the balloon Stevens 21, of 35,000 cubic feet capacity. She landed in New London,' N. H., after a successful trip. Mr. Stevens said that this voyage was a pleasant one, and that they passed over many mountains which were white with frost and snow. For a greater part of the time the balloonists found the temperature rather cold, as they traveled quite near the earth during most of the \journey. 'Just before the'order "Let go!" was given a picture machine was rigged in the basket of the airship, and it was turned around to obtain a panoramic view of the large crowd which had gathered about the park. * * • From Camden, N. J., we hear that Vice-Chancellor Learning will dispose of a rule to show* cause why Senator Bloomfield Minch should not reimburse Harvey Ringler and Charles Kern- merer for money they expended on a property owned by bin at Bridgeton and which was leased by the plaintiffs. The rule has already been issued and it restrains Senator Minch froo compelling the men to vacate the building. In the declaration it is shown that Ringler, Kemmerer and Theodore Verhley formed a partnership to operate a moving picture place. They leased a building from'Senator Minch and spent about $3,000 improving it All went along well untfl Verhley dropped out. Then, in October, Senator Minch asked
