WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Solicitor General
Aldrich acting in the absence of Attorney
General Miller, as attorney general. said to a
United Press representative yesterday
morning that all he knew about the cleo
ton troubles in the state of Alabama was
what he learned from the newspapers; that
he had received no complaints from United
States officers in Alabama, and of course in
the absence of such could not take cogni-
zance of reports of contemplated alleged
violations of law. If any complaints were
made they would receive prompt considera-
tion. Aldrich was inclined to treat the
matter rather lightly, ana thought the sit
uation of affairs was not so serious as indi-
Gated. He said the circular issued by At
torney General Miller would o. upheld by
all the authority of the federal government
The Nation Is Paramount.
He particularly emphasized Gne closing
paragraph of that circular which read as
follows: ''The duty and the authority of
the supervisors and the deputy marshals in
the premises are too plain to be misunder-
stood. Bearing in mind always that they
are officers of the peace well as officers of
the election, and never forgetting that
where the state statute conflicts with the
statute of the United States touching these
elections the national statute IS paramount
and must be obeyed, these officers should
go forward quietly, but resolutely, in the
discharge of their duties. without fear or
favor, with the firm determination, so far
as in them lies under the law, to see that
there is an honest, free and fair election
and fair return and canvass of the vote. :

Lake Frout Cases.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. - Rumors pub
isLed in regard to the supreme court hav-
ing arrived at a conclusion in the Chicago
lake front cases in favor of the Illinois Cen
trail Railway company can be traced to no
authentic source, and are believed to be
entirely sensational guess work Each JUS
tice of the supreme court carries locked
book in which he makes his own entries
of the cases under argument and his own
memoranda of his views of the law in the
matter. Every Saturday the judges meet
in their consultation room and compare
their notes of the cases under advisement
Haven't Taken the First Step.
If it is found that on all important ques-
tions involved there is a substantial agree
ment of majority of the court, one of the
justices is assigned to the duty of prepar-
ing an opinion. In all important cases this
opinion is read to the full bench on a sub
sequent consultation day and is then an
nounced on the following Monday. No
deviation is made from this method of
precedence. Enquiry of court officials
fails to establish the fact that even the pre-
liminary consultations have yet been
held on the Chicago lake front cese.

Sudden Death.

On last Thursday evening Major
Miles I. Woolley, who was visiting his
old time friend, Capt VI. v. Lucas, at
the Soldiers Home, died very suddenly.
His general health had heen feeble for
some time, and he came here hoping
that our climate and water would
benefit him. His wife, who knew how
dangerous his condition was, followed
him here, and was with him when he
died. On Thursday evening he ate a
hearty supper and expressed himself
to Captain Lucas as feeling better
than he had for some time, sat down
in . chair and became unconscious in
a few moments, and in less than five
minutes was dead. Heart disease was
undoubtedly the cause. Major Woolley
had lived in Yankton for twenty-three
years. BY profession he was civil
,ngineer and surveyor, and he sur.
veyed large portion { eastern Dako.
ia, as we'll as some in this region. OF
late years he has been president of the
Yankton Savings Bank. Perhaps no
one in South Dakota was better known
or more respected, and hosts of friends
will deplore his sudden taking of.
Major Woolley was member Of the
knights Templar, and that body, as
sisted by the Masonic lodge of this city,
took part in a brief religious service ut
the Soldiers Home and escorted the
body to the depot preparatory to its
removal tn Yankton. Mrs. Woollev
carries with her the sympathy of the
entire community.
