ORDER ISSUED BY JUDGE BATES

Hearing is Set for the October Tern
Of Court-Opponents Of the lssu,

Sheriff Losey Served Papers Today
a new phase has developed to tn,
question of issuing bonds for the pur
pose of constructing nm electric lighting
plant in connection with the waterwork'
pumping station. The News Madison
correspondent writes that II A. Stew
art, through his attorney, NJ. ID. Tyler
has secured a temporary INDUCTION from
County Judge Bates restraining the
Norfolk city officials from issuing the
bonds recently voted.
Sheriff Losey was in the city today
serving the papers in tire case and the
immediate issuance of the bonds is now
not possible. The hearing on the suit
is set for the October term of court.
Those who are opposing the bond
issue believe that they have a good case,
based on the illegality of the recent
election and OH the law which limits

dated. The suit brings up n fine point
of law and it will probably require a
considerable time to settle the question
raised.
1t is likewise asserted by some that
there were illegal votes cast on the
proposition and the election may be set
aside on several points. Certain it is
that the installing of new lighting plant
is postponed by this action for some
time.
In the meantime it is not known
what the mayor and council will do, but
it is limited that they may seek to incon.

claimed that they have it in their power
to cause them considerable annoyance
Inasmuch as it is not the company, but
a heavy taxpayer who is instituting the
injunction proceedings this method
of procedure would be questionable
and it is probable that the supposition
of trouble in store for the company is
mere guess work.

wishes that no bad feeling will develop
and that if there is a legal fight to be

watched with interest by many citizens

DEGREE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Interesting Feature of the Function
mt Yale Yeatcr00y.

A dispatch from New Haven describing
the function at Yale University yesterday
afternoon after the close of The Stars re-
port. saws:
When the long list had been finished Pres
ident Hadley advanced a step or two, and,
with great impressiveness. said:
There yet remains one name" In an
instant the great audience was standing.
The President of the United States also
arose, and the theater rang with cheers.
The air was filled with waving handker-
chiefs and programs.
Remarking that Yale had chosen for the
degree this candidate before he became
President. President Hadley announced
that all Yale men were now doubly hon.
ored by greeting the man and the President
as son of Yale. Specially addressing
President Roosevelt, President Hadley
spoke as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt, while you were yet
a private citizen offered you most
worthily the degree of LID. Since. in His
providence, it has pleased God 10 give
Theodore Roosevelt another title, we give
him on that account a double portion of
welcome. He is a Harvard man by nur-
ture but we are proud to think that in his
democratic spirit. his broad national SYM
pathies. and, above all. his cieanness and
purity and truth. he will be glad to be an
adopted son of Yale
President Roosevelt advanced bowed pro-
foundly and tried to speak. Again the au-
dience cheered. and 1t was fully minute
before he was allowed to proceed. He said:
president Hadley have never yet
worked at a task worth doing that did
not ahnd myself working shoulder to shoul-
der with some son of Yale. I have never
yet been tp struggle for Righteousness

consider the whole mess has been caused by
the initial bunder of Lord Roberts and Mr..
Brodrick in departing from their own prin-
ciple when they gave the 1st Army Corps
command to an officer who could never
have directed its operations in active SER
vice. General Butler leaves the Aldershot
force in a high state of efficiency. As a
teacher of discipline he had no SUPERIOR in
the army, end it must always be a matter
for regret that an officer with such a fine
record should have omitted to profit by the
valuable lesson he had impaired to his
sUbordinates.
Winston Churchill delivered a remarkable
speech at Leicester last night. in which he
handled the war office without gloves. He
devoted his remarks almost entirely to the
war and denounced the governments mud
ding policy in scathing terms. The war,
he declared had become an unmitigated
nuisance. and he wanted the government to
intervene in South Africa in order to local
ize, delimit and assign General Kitcheners
functions. so that he might be relieved of
a multiplicity of duties he is unable to per-
form efficiently. The audience was delighted
with the speech. in which Mr.. Churchill
showed much of his fathers talent.

On April 16 number of cadets engaged

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Resolution Adopted Urging Peace Be-
tween Colombia and Vcnezuela

MEXICO CITY, October 23-It had been
expected that the Pan-American congress
would this afternoon get down to a discus
sion of rules and organization, but an un-
expected turn was given to the proceedings
by the following resolution presented by
the delegations signing the same:
Whereas, the American international
conference in Mexico considers that peace
Is the first condition of prosperity and ma
tlonal progress; that progress between the
states represented in this conference is in
dlspensable in order that their work should
have the result that is sought; that this
conference, invoking its common origin
historic traditions and solidarity of inter
ests of the republics of Colombia and Vere-
Zuela, considers 1t opportune to discuss a
friendly and deferential word to the govern
ments of the countries before mentioned in
order to prevent any sad conflict which in
the present circumstances, might alter the
cordial relations between these sister re-
publcs. Now. then, be it
RESOLVED, first That it convey it's desire
that the governments of the republics re-
ferred to, inspiring themselves in senti-
ments already expressed. may reach an
equitable and rational agreement of their
present differences.
Second, That the president of the con-
gress be authorized to transmit to the re-
sspectiye governments this resolution in the
hope that it may be received in the same
