In one phase of the fight of the West Side
Citizens Transit Reform Committee against the
Interurban company TO compel the granting OF
transfers at all points of intersection of the
connanv's lines the railroad company is Victo-
rious Yesterday Justice O'Gorman, in the Su-
nrerne Court denied an application for a writ
of mandamus compelling the granting of trans
fers. because this he held, was not the proper
remedy Action to recover a penalty should be
tried.
When this decision was learned James ,
Lehmaier chairman of the law committee OF the
citizens committed held a conference with the
other members after which they decided to ap-
neal and to hurry the so that argument
can be heard in the Appellate Division on June
-. Mr.. Lehmaey said:
The decision of Justice O'Gorman does not N any
way affect the right bring actions for pehdIies
in of refusalS to transfer out leETs tm md
money to follow 1t. The West Side Committee OF
one Hundred believes that its form OF pToceefis
is correct and will a appeal to the Appelldts
Division. 1t is hoped that the case can De argued
there June ~
In his decision, Justice OGorman Indicates
two methods of keeping the streetcar company
in line; one the action to recover the penalty
Of $50 for refusal to give transfer, the other
an anneaI to the State Railroad Commission,
whose duty II is to keep Informed as to the
compliance of the railroad companies with their
charter and the law and bring infractons per
sisted I'm after due notice TO the attention of the
Attorney General who shall take such action
as is necessary to protect the public AS the

OBITUARY..

The death of Charles Jacobson was
recorded in the HERALD last week. 1t
was the result of stroke of apoplexy.
He was buried from the Swedish Luz
theran church of Little Sank on Sat-
urday last, Rev. Ohslund officiating.
Charles jacobson was born in Swe-
den on October %, 1874, and came to
this country in the fall of 1868, and in
the spring following took homestead
of 100 acres in Kandota, part of the
farm occupied by him at the time Of
his death, to which he had added 200
acres by purchase. ..... <..-.
In 1873 he married Miss Erika Ham
son, who, with ten of the twelve chill
dren born to them, survives him. His
was a very generous nature, always
ready to lend q helping hand whenev-
er needed. He took deep interest in
the welfare of the community, especi-
ally in educational matters, his great
ambition being the education of his
children, and this he lived to see we'll
advanced.
He was member of the board of
supervisors of his town for twenty
years and for many years its chair
man. He has also held the offices of
town treasurer and school director.
His official career was characterized
by the same fearless and honest ex-
preston of conviction, and the wise
economy which was prevalent in his
personal affairs.
AS indicated by the date OF his home
stead entry he was one of the earliest
settlers OF Kand ota, being enc of the
voters whose names appear on the
poll list used at the first town meet
ing in Kandota. in 1870. There are
but four men left In the town who vot.
ed at that election.
