THE MINOR LAW
In Michigan Before the United States Supreme
Court Tor an Early Decision.

WAsuINGroS, Oct. 1l.-The United
States supreme court today heard the opening
argument in the suit to test the constitution
ality of the Minor law in Michigan pro, :
ing for the election of Presidential electo9
by congressional districts. The advance
ment of the Michigan case will have the
effect of enabling a decision to be rendered
in advance of the Presidential election.
The case comes on appeal from the de-
eision of the Michigan supreme court affrfa.
ing the constitutionaliIy of the Minor law
The title is Mcpherson ct al, plaintiffs in
error, VS.. Blacker, secretary of state. H..
NJ. DutIield and +. \. Baker appeared be-
fore the supreme court for the appellant.
For appellee, Attorney General Ellis of
Michigan and otto kirchner made the argu-
ment.
The political aspect of the case is very
pronounced. 1t is conceded that the effect
of the decision in favor of the validity of the
law will give some of Michigans electoral
votes to the Democrats. That Republicans
appreciate its importance, both In this cleo
ton and its possible far-reaching conse-
quences in the future, is shown by the ap-
pearance of Acknowledgement Miller in the
case as one of the counsel on the Repub-
lican side of the question.
The attorney general does not appear in
his official capacity, but as a private conn
sellor, and to take part in the argument.
II is very unusual in this country for the
attorney general to par .icipate in such a
case, and his appearance today was the sub
ject of talk among the lawyers. Mr.. Duf-
field opened the argument.

GEORGE GRENFELL ~ DANGER.
The Famous Explorer Hemmed in by the War
ring natives Of LINDA.

LONDON, Oct. ll.-Some month"; ago the
Congo Free State commissioned the mis-
sionary explorer, George Grenfcli. to as
cend the Nassau river, with delegate from
Portugal, TO delimit the boundary line be-
tween the Free State AMI Portugal in the
native empire of Lunda. No information
concerning the expedition was received I'M
til few weeks ago, when courier arrived
at Bona with the alarming news that Mr..
Grenfell, surprised by a revolt among the
Lunda natives. was blocked in that region,
and needed assistance. 1t is believed that
before this an armed expedition organized
at the post of Luluaburg, which is nearest
10 Grenfelrs camp has been sent to the res
cue.
Excepting Mr.. Stanley Grenfell is the
most noted of the Congo explorers and he
has accomplished even more than Stanley
in the minute study of the Congo basin.
For several years ne was necessarily trav-

he who revealed the courses of the Lomani,
the Tehuapa, the Bussera, and several
other southern tributaries. He also discov-
cred the Mobangi river and traced its course
for 400 miles He found that these rivers
did not come from tire directions laid down
in Stanley maps, but that they invariably
flowed far west before reaching the Congo,
while Stanley had represented the courses
as approximately MOI III and south. He dis
covered the curious dwarfs of the Tchuapa
river, and many hundreds of their arrows
were fred into the network that protected
his yale steamer.
No nan has ever exercised more tact in
