OBJECTION is MADE TO EACH AND
EVERY ITEM ASSESSED BY
THE LOCAL COURT.
PLEA OF THE DEFENDANTS

and taxed up the costs of the proceedings
against them.
b. II. Dunshec. another Of the officers,
was held not guilty of contempt.
In the application for retax OF costs,
objection is made to each and every item
assessed against the defendants Oh the
ground that the court had no authority
to tax defendants in such cases with the
costs.
Charges Excessive.
Specific objection is made to the item
OF S, for stenographer's fees, for the rea-
son that such an item is not allowed in
cases OF the kind. Other items objected
to include 5000 for plan map and $Ioo
for cross-sections, OH the ground that the
charges are excessive and not such as
should be allowed in cases of contempt.
Next come objections to the fees al
lowed witnesses and mileage for some Of

| the further reason that the court did not
J award costs in the case. and the proceed
| ings are not such as costs can he taxed
| in: that there is no party to the suit who
| is entitled to costs or in whose favor
| costs can be allowed. that there is nc
| provision OF law for such costs in a case
| OF the kind; that the law does not pro.
| vide any means for the enforcement OF the
same; and that the judgment OF the cour,
| ordering them is void.

Rome. Dec. aa.-According to local
publication, the story that Cardinal Gotti
recently handed the pope So 900 900, said to
have been confided to the cardinal by the
late Pope Leo XIII. originated in the fact
that in the financial investigation following

although no positive proof was obtainable,
it appeared evident that the only person
who could know where the money had
gone was certain monsignor living in
the vatican.
He first asserted that he knew nothing
from there, but on being more closely ques-
toned he one day said to the pope: BE
patient; God will provide for the needs
OF the holy see
Soon afterwards the monsignor appeared
with friend and SAID that Pope Leo had
coniided the money to him. requesting him
to return il 10 his successor four months
