Sigmund Feinman, manager Of the Thalia
Theatre. who was arrested by order of President
Moss, under his power as q Police Commission
or, for failing to obey his ummons TO testify
before i'm in tho Margolies case. purged him
self of contempt yesterday by testifying. His
testimony did not amount to anything. however.
He was present and saw a fracas between Mr..
Margolies and Policemen Clifford, Foster, and
Sachs, but, deeming discretion the better part
of valor. jumped on a car and went home. Mr..
Moss fined the witness $50 for contempt Of
court, but on the plea Of his lawyer that he had
made an effort to come, oven If an unsuccessful
effort, RENTED the fine.
The case was closed after o protracted struggle
of Mr.. Moss with George A. Greenberg, q wit
ness for the defence. whom he suspected Of be-
ing q professional furnisher of Witnesses. Mr..
Greenberg denied this while admitting that he
spent all his spare time about police courts,
particularly the Essex Market Court. That was
because he enjoyed it.
"And don't you meet Silver Dollar Smith
and Mochs Hochstim. and tho rest Of them
there r. asked Mr.. Moss.
"Yes, 1 do" said tho witness; "and what of
that I meet you there, too. and am none the
worse"
Mr.. Moss sternly bade the witness behave
himself, and closed the case in deep disgust.
His efforts to prove that tho case had been fixed
had failed on every hand. Decision will be
given by tho full board.

Point Vow Raised That the Amendment Did
Not Receive q Constitutional Majority.
TRENTON. N. J., Nov. 16.-The preliminary
argument on the application for an order to
compel a recount of the votes cast for and
against tho anti-race track amendment was
finished to-day, and the Supreme Court Justices
took the papers and reserved decision.
Allan L. McDermott appeared. with ex-Sena-
tor Edwards, in support of the motion. and At
torney-General Grey in opposition. Mr.. Grey
argued that the matter was ended. SO far az tho
courts are concerned. by the issuing Of the Gov
ernor's proclamation promulgating the amend
msnt. From this Justice Dixon dissented. and
said IL that were SO the Governor might have
promulgated the women suffrage amendment.
which was defeated, and tho courts would be
powerless. Attorney-Genera Grey further ar
gued that the applicants for O recount had no
no harm, and worked harm 10 no one; besides,
the ball ts had been removed from the ballot
boxes, and some of them had been destroyed.
Mr.. McDermott argued that it was tho duty
stitutional provision that a majority shall rule.
He also made the point that whether there was
a recount or not the anti-gambling amendment
had been defeated Ts; and AID !, not ! belong b d IN the
ing from article 8 Of the Constitutions:
And II the people, at a special election to be
held for that purpose only, shall approve and
ratify such amendment or amendments, or any
to vote for members of the Legislature voting
thereon, such amendment so approved and rati.
fed shall become part OF tho Constitution"

anti-race track amendment received but 10,
<A3 votes, which Is 394 short Of o majority.

James McMillen, Of 112 West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is n pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that Of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol-
lowed the tradt Of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street
in the vicinity Of the University Of Illinois.
and he is the official shoemaker as 1t were,
for the students OF that institution.
About a year AGO Mr.. McNillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was a
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter
est in his case, and a reporter visited him
to have him relate the story.

Pills for Pale People. Something like
year ago it appeared to me that was almost
a physical wreck. I was suffering from
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles we're terribly swollen and inflamed.
In fact, they reached such a condition that
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.
