THE ILLINOIS FLAG LAW.

Informer's Fee Clause.

Informer's Fee Clause.
Chicago, ILL.,, Especial. 1.-The Illinois flag
law, which prohibits the use OF the American
flag, or representations OF it, for advertising
purposes, and which has provoked litigation
since Its passage, and led to numerous ar =
rests, was declared unconstitutional by
Judge Gibbons In long opinion deciding
the habeas corpus proceedings brought by
J. j. Hartigan, proprietor OF the Glasgow
Woollen Mills, who was arrested for its vio-
lation. The judge declares that the inform
er's fee clause in the flag act is against the
spirit.of American law. The decision turns
on this point, the court holding that the
power granted by the constitution to the
governor OF the state to pardon offenders
and remit fines and penalties is In conflict
with the statute, which guarantees to the
informer a share OF the fine.

VANCOUVER CITY ELECTION.
The Issue VIII he Deadman's Island
Matter.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Dec. 22-This city
IL now In the midst OF red hot municipal
campaign, the main fight centering about
the contest for the mayoralty. The OPP
posing candidates are the present mayor,
James #. Garden, and Alderman William
Brown, who has been member of the
city council for the past twelve years.
Brown is making his campaign upon the
Deadman's island issue. and is seeking to
defeat Garden for reelection, on the
ground that the present mayor allowed the
Ludgate mill to be erected in Seattle,
when. as alleged, certain concessions OF
land In Stanley park would have secured
the mill for Vancouver.
Garden. who has already served two
successive terms as the city's chief exec
utive. had intended retiring at the end Of
this year from municipal Office, and his
friends expected to make him parlia-
mentary candidate for the house of COM
mons In the general election which win
occur next year. but as the old Deadmans
island fight has been again made an issue.
and a. Gardens attitude upon that Ques-
ton has been made an issue In the cam
paign. the mayor has decided to stand for
third term. The election will be held
early In January.
