STATE HAS NO RIGHT.
municipal Court Law In North Da-
kota UneonstitutiOnaI

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 23.-The supreme
court nied an important decision this morn
ing: The last legislature passed an act pro-
wang for municipal court in cities of
5000 population Grand Forks and Fargo
elected these judges in April, this year, and
they have been acting since, although the
mayor and city council Of Grand Forks re-
fused to pay the salary Of Judge McDermott
who was elected in that city.
McDermott mandamused the mayor and the
following decision is the result:
F1rst-When the constitution created a Judi
cal once and court and prescribes the juris-
dlct1on OF such court neither the Office nor the
court can be abolished by statute, nor can
the jurisdiction Of such court as to amount
involved be diminished or increased by the
legislature.
Second-Section 22O9. revised code, undertook
to supersede the police magistrate and the
courts provided for by section 113 of the state
constitution by the municipal court therein
established, which last named courts were
given all the powers and jurisdiction of such
police magistrates, and in addition thereto
otner jurisdictions not mentioned in said sec
ton OF the constitution. Helt, that section 22e9
revised code Is unconstitutional and void.
Ihlrd-An application by party elected as
Judge OF the municipal court under said sec
uon FOR mandamus against the mayor and
auditor OF the city where such party was so
elected Judge to compel the issuance Of city
warrants for the salary of such Judge held
that the defendants could properly raise the
question of the constitutionality of said sec
ton. The writ cannot be involved to compel
an off1ceT to do an unlawful act.

Identity of the Invention Is still a
Mystery.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 23.-The In
ventor of the mysterious airship,
which has been puzzling local scien-
lists and others for the past week,
is believed to be one 'Dr. E. H. Benja
min,'' an alleged dentist, who has oc
cupied rooms in an Ellis street lodg
ing house for the past two years, bat
so far he has successfully evaded all
attempt to discover his identity. His
attorney Collins, when seen yesterday,
and pressed to tell more about the
machine and its inventor, said:
This morning the inventor came to
my office in the Croker building and
told me he had tested the merits of
the ship in last nights storm, with the
greatest success. The wind currents
were very contrary and the test was
one that tried the merits Of the ma
chine in the hardest manner, but 1t
came out Of the ordeal in good order,
having breasted the storm as well as
any bird. He started from the locality
where the vessel is housed, and flew
over A1istraZ, and out through the
Golden Gate, skirting the Cliff house
and returning by the same route across
the bay. He lowered over Seal rocks
for fully ten minutes and played his
searchlight on the seals themselves.
His intention is to make another trip
this evening, probably over the same
ground, running out as far as Sacra-
mento."
A disptach was received from Sacra-
mento last night to the effect that
seen the mysterious meteor in the
heavens, but as yet no one has been
able to see the object sufficiently we'll
to state definitely what it is.

WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-At the
patent Office today nothing could be
learned of the application for patent
for the flying machine alleged to be
making successful flights in the neigh
borhood of Sacramento, Cal. The rules
the names of applicants or the charac-
ter of the inventions, for their own
protection. Inquiry among patent at
torneys known to control Pacific coast
business, failed to discover any knowl-
edge of the alleged success in aeronaut-
les at Sacramento. Prof Langley, Of
the Smithsonian institute, who has ex-
perimented scientifically for a time
with a view of demonstrating the best
method Of solving the question of aerial
navigation, excused himself from dis
cussing the matter, but his manner
indicated plainly that he gave little
credence to the Sacramento reports.

Cancellation Dec. X.

Chairman Midgley, of the Western
freight association, has issued a cir
cular recalling one issued some time
ago regarding proportional tariffs. The
circular received yesterday reads as
follows: During the past season of
navigation. proportional rates have
been published from time to time nam
ing 4 cents per hundred pounds as the
proportion Of through rates on ship
ments from points west Of the Mis-
sissippi river destined East via lake
and rail. AS navigation has been prac-
tica!ly closed 1t is assumed that no
further necessity exists for the con-
tinuance of these rates, hence the
same should be cancelled at a. date not
later than Dec. So
1t will be remembered when the
above proportional tariff went into the
effect there was a great howl from the
individual shippers upon the Chicago
board Of trade, they claiming that it
was direct discrimination against
them. The Chicago Great Western re-
