NO MILEAGE FOR LEGISLATORS
Proceedings to Recover $4,000 Due
as Mileage Dropped in Supe-
piOr Court.


The mandamus proceedings brought
by Robert M. Burns against L. Heisler
Ball, State Treasurer, were dismissed by
the Superior Court yesterday. The suit
raised the question of the right OF legis-
lators to receive mileage. William III.
Head, representing the State Treasurer,
had moved to quash. Walter Fl. Hayes,
attorney for Burns, did not resist the ap-
plication.
Former Representative Robert Burns
and others sought to recover $4,000 in
mileage, alleged to be due them as mem
bers of the Legislature.
The action Of counsel for the plaiatiff
is accounted for by the fact that no.
where in Delaware law could there be
found decisions favoring recovery OF
mileage when State law does not provide
for the same. Moreover the records Of
the constitutional convention, which
body made no provision in the constitu-
tion for the payment of mileage to mem
bers of the State Legislature, show clear
" that it was the opinion Of the mem
bers that the omission of the mileage
clause as it refers to the State lawmakers
was intentional.

1t Is the General Impression That
the Active List is Going to Take
Downward Course and That
the Rally Was Supported
by the Short Interest.

It looks as if the general list in the
stock market will work lower again to-
day. The short interest which gave the
only support to the recent rally has been
fairly we'll reduced, and there will be
enough realizing to keep the market
generally heavy. There is no prospect
of any improvement in bank reserves for
several weeks or until considerable
quantity of the new bank notes are forced
out into circulation. In the meantime
we shall have no surplus reserve and
have no possibility of increased specula-
tion.
Sugar, tobacco, Peoples Gas, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, Metropolitan and the
Grangers will go lower, especially the
first five. Atcnson preferred will go
much lower before it goes much higher.
Baltimore & Ohio common is also sale.
Third avenue on its merits will even
tually sell much lower but it is dangerous
stuff to touch now, as someone has been
making elaborate preparations for
squeeze.

The Chieftain has always been
commended for the quality of its
circulation, but now it is reaching
a place where both quantity and
quality are to be considered. The
paper has persistently refused to
lie about its circulation, but can
now say truthfully, and with par
donable pride, subscriptions never
came in quite so fast, and renewals
were never quite so prompt as at
the present time. The truth is,no
one who cares to keep posted
about current affairs in the Chero-
kee nation, and in the Indian Ter
ritory can afford to be without it.

cued from oblivion by getting an
Indian Territory bill christened

incongrueties and absurdities than
perhaps any other measure passed

Perhaps the hardest thing to
determine definitely at this time,
would be the value of real estate
iu and around Vinita. AS the title
to all the lands of the five tribes
is in the particular tribe owning
lit, the value of a town lot in q
given town would have to be meas
ured by ones chances of getting an
individual title and the cost of get
ting it. As soon as the deed is
drawn, however, the value will be
advanced perhaps beyond wha
many an owner will think it is
worth.
