VALIDITY. QUESTIONED.
Title of Justice of the Peace Under
New Code.

New Code.
A new step has been taken in connection
with the proceedings instituted last Friday
by Catharine N. Thompson against Samuel
c. Mills, one Of the local justices of the
peace. The action constitutes substantial
ly a test case, which involves the validity
Of the acts Of the justices of the peace
now serving. The petition filed Friday was
for writ of certiorari. the purpose being to
have the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia review a proceeding before the
justice Of the peace. The latest move was
to institute an action in quo warranto,
counsel for the petitioner having reached
the conclusion that the issue can be more
fully determined by quo varranto than by
certiorari.
The contention is that Mr.. Mills Is not
lawfully exercising the ONCE OF justice of
the peace. The new code Of law provided
for ten justices. Before the code took ef-
feet the President appointed the justices.
the Senate confirmed them and they SUBJ
scribed to the oath of ONCE. The point is
raised that the appointment of the JUS
tees. the confirmation of them and the
taking of the oath Of ONCE were without
authority Of law, they occurring prior to
the time, the code became operative.

KING RETURNS TO LONDON.
Great DemOnstratiOn-Is In Fine
Health and Will be Able to Stand
Ceremonies All Right.

London, August 6.-The royal yacht
Victoria and Albert, with King Edward
on board, left Cowes at 1:30 this after
noon, for Portsmouth. The harbor sta
ton at Portsmouth was reached shortly
after o'clock. a special train to
convey his majesty to London awaited
his arrival at Portsmouth.
The royal yacht bearing the king was
moored alongside the dock yard jetty
at Portsmouth. Two Japanese war
ships fired salutes and were followed
by all the commissioned ships in the
harbor. The king was officially re-
ceived at the landing place by Admiral
Sir Charles Frederick Notham and
General Sir Baker Greed Russell. A
guard of honor was mounted on the
dock yard jetty.
The king entered The royal special
after the exchange of a few words with
the officials gathered on the platform
The departure from Portsmouth was
made at $40 and the trains which was
preceded by a pilot engine, reached
Victoria station at $50 p. m. The
Victoria station was decorated in honor
of his majesty's home coming. Free
access was allowed the public, except
to the platform reserved for his ma
jesty.
Judging by appearances the king not
only will be able to go through the
coronation ceremonies, but will be per-
fectIy capable of performing all func-
ton Of the service without discomfort
His return to Londcn was accomplished
without any i'll effects and his first
public appearance since his operation
delighted even those who had the most
serious apprehensions with regard to
the kings condition. The group of
railway officials and a few court func-
tlonarleS who awaited the train eX-
hibited many signs of uneasiness which
were not lacking among the crowds
which janlmed the approaches to the
Victoria station in which a squad of
life guards had been placed.
A four house royal carriage with red
coated out drivers, was drawn up to
await the arrival of the train. The
king, accompanied by the queen and
the Princess Victoria stepped out of
the car and walked across a crimson
cloth on the platform some twenty
yards tO his carriage. The queen and
Princess Victoria entered the vehicle
and the King followed, apparently
without difficulty and four royal ser
wants placed rugs about his knees.
The king stood up straight as if he
had never had an illness in his life,
took off his hat and bowed to friends

hind the barriers. He seemed to be
in the greatest good humor and evil
IDENTIFY was delighted to get back. De-
spite a few drops of rain which fell, he
drove out with the top of the carriage
down. His face was perpetually light
ed up with a smile of satisfaction and
he looked anything but an invalid.
The princess and prince of Wales and
their children drove over to Bucking-
ham palace from York house, and just
before their majesties arrived, they ap-
peared on the palace balcony and were
loudly cheered by the crowds outside.
The demonstration increased as the
king approached and after their ma
jesties had entered the palace the
crowd sang God Save the King" sew
eral times.
