DECIDED AGAINST PULLMAN.
Superior Court Says College Commits.
sioners Were Not STATE Officera.

TACOMA, June l2.-Ispecial. Judge Fremont
Campbell, OF the superior court, today handed
down decision giving the defendants in the
agricultural college site contest until tomorrow
to show cause why an injunction should not
issue preventing any further action in the loca-
tion of the college.
The court holds that the commissioners were
not legally appointed; that they were not officers
of the state within the meaning of
the word officers, but were the agents
of the state for the purpose of To-
eating the college; not being officers. they
could not be officers de faeto, therefore all OF
their proceedings were illegal and void, and any
attempt by the board of regents to appropriate
the money of the state TO erect buildings at
Pullman. being based upon the illegal and void
act of the commission, would therefore be ille-
gal, aud q court of equity would have power to
restrain them from appropriating or paying out
the money of the state in the carrying out OF
illegal and unlawful purpose.
In support of this opinion section of the act
creating the commission and section IS of the
constitution are cited.
At the request of Judge Graves, of Spokane,
representing the defendants, an extension of
time to show cause was granted until June %.
In order to get decision as quickly as pos
sible from the supreme court in the matter, it
is expected that the defendants will ask the
supreme court for writ of prohibition TO pre-
vent the superior court from proceeding further.

that he knew Gov. BoieS when he was
little pettifogger in northeastern
Iowa. For a corporation tool like
Allison to abuse as great and good a
man as Horace Boies is an insult to

The senator is enormously reported
in the foregoing. The reference to
Gov. Boies was occasionel by his re-
mark at Perry in which he advised
Senator Allison to make the acquaint-
ance of the people of his state. In com,
menting upon this personal message
the senator said that he had had the
honor of serving the people of this state
while Gov. Boies was yet a criminal
lawyer at Waterloo" However severe
ly he may criticise their principles and
methods, Senator Allison always treats
his political opponents with personal
respect, as he certainly did on this oc
casion. Senator Allison referred t.
Boies as criminal lawyer" and left
it for our democratic contemporary to
use the term "pettifogger." 1t may APP
pease the rancor of partisan jealousy tc
refer to Iowa's senior senator as a cor,
poraticn tool, but the people respect
and honor him as the greatest Iowa
man In public life, fact which is evi.

meetings.

SENATOR ALLISON.

Iowa's senior senator, the Hon. VIM.
b. Allison, spoke at the court house
hall in Audubon last Thursday night
to an overlooking audience. Many who
would have listened to his words of
wisdom were unable to gain standing
room. The audience was very compli-
mentary to the speaker. Although but
two days notice was given of the meet
ing the assemblage was made up of
men and women from all parts of the
county, with very liberal sprinkling
of thinking democrats.
The speech was very able discus
sion of the tariff question, such indeed
as can be made only by one who has
made it study for many years. He
showed clearly the difference between
the republican and democratic parties
upon this much discussed problem.
While the republicans levy duty up
on articles produced in this country,
making it a protective measure against
the pauper labor of the old world, the
democrats would levy duties upon ar
ticles wholly imported and not manu-
featured or grown here, thus making
their tariff as they claim tax, indeed,
and without redeeming feature. The
senator cited many articles in support
of this truth, and asked for correction
If any mistake had been made. Refer
ring to low prices for agricultural pro
duets which prevailed during recent
years, he showed clearly the cause for
it in increased acreage and production.
| That the United States is the best mark
ct in the world was proven to the sat
| isfacti0n of all, while it was shown that
in foreign markets we must compete
with agricultural products which are
produced by labor that earns by com
pariSon only pittanCe, and can conse'
| Quently undersell the American farmer
The home market is the best and must
be cultivated and built up. In coming
to state issues the senator denounced
the liquor traffic and the financial pow
er behind it as inimical to public inter,
ests and clinched his argument with
unanswerable statistics. Senator Ali
son spoke for more than two hours and
held the closest attention throughout
Through it all he remembered his posi-
ton as a public servant and while using
strong argument, he spoke of demo
Gratis respectfully though leaving them
no ground to stand upon politically
The speech was well received by mel
of both parties and reflected well The
good works, past and prospective of thu
republican party. Audubon was hon
ared by the distinguished gentleman:
