German soil was safely accomplished
Tuesday afternoon amid all the pomp
ana circumstance with which the
princes imperial brother has seen fit

Before leaving the ship the prince
gave the following interview to the
correspondents Of the press:
i desire to send a last word through you
10 America, to say no" deeply grateful
am for the measureless kindness I re-
celved While there. 1 tried to say this be-
fore l left, but l want to say again that
l am grateful for the cordial and gener-
Gus manner In which the people and the
president Of the United States received
me. met and talked with as many ndi.
Viduals as l could, but of course I saw
most of the people in crowds, and some
times only from the railroad car plat
form, and only long enough to touch my
cap or take off my hat to them. L wish
to thank all those thousands for the
trouble they took. l had no opportunity
or studying the details of industry as
would like to have done"

FAILS TO STAND TEST.
Michigan Supreme Court Declares
Salary Law to Be I'm
constitutional.

Lansing, Mich, March 10. 49, In an
opinion filed Tuesday evening, the su-
preme court declares unconstitutional
an act of the last legislature giving
each of three state officers who con-
stitute the board of state auditors an
annual salary of $500 in addition to
the salary provided by the constitu-
ton. This additional salary was de-
signed to compensate them for the
performance of the duties imposed by
the legislature and not contemplated
by the constitution. The court holds
that the constitutional salary cannot
be exceeded. Gov. Bliss believed the
bill to be unconstitutional, and signed
it only after the interested officials had
signed the agreement to have it passed
upon by the supreme court before any
allowances were paid them there
under.
