0LE0 LAW
UNDER tt: TEST
Validity Argued Before
Supreme Court
ANOTHER IMPORTANT CASE
Rejected Immigrant From Porto Rico
Claims to Be Naturalized by
ANOTHER IMPORTANT CAST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Oral argu-
ments were heard in the supreme court
today against the constitutionality of
the oleomargarine law passed by the
last congress. The arguments cover
ed four cases, three from Chicago and
the fourth from Cincinnati. The prln-
cipal arguments We're made by Guth-
RE of New York. His contention is
that the tax of 10 cents pound on
colOred in imitation of
butter is a discriminatory prohibition
on the manufacture of oleomargarine
and therefore an illegal encrOachment
upon the police powers of the states.
A case which has attracted particu-
lar interest will be heard tomorrow.
1t is that of Isabella GonZalus of Porto
Rico against Immigrant Commissioner
Williams of New York. The plaintiff
who was denied admission as an alien
immigrant contends that the treaty by
which Porto Rico came into the pos
session of the United States natural
ICES her. The decision will be far
reaching as it covers the native is
landers Of all insular possessions Of
the United States.

WESTERN RAILROADS
IN fine SHAPE
Traffic Is Maintained Without Any De-
crease and the Outlook Is
Bright.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 2-Officers OF
all the leading western railroads state
that traffic is maintained without any
decrease and that no discouraging con-
ditions have developed. In fact. mod
crate Improvement is noted. Positive
assertions are still made that the
lines will be as busy during the next
fore the vast amount Of surplus
freight was disposed Of and before
general business had reached its apex.
The cold weather in all sections during
the last few weeks has had a stimu-
lating effect on the mercantile situa-
ton, and increased moderately the
shipment of seasonable merchandise,
while the shipments of turkey and
other Thanksgiving produce were the
largest in many years. '
Reports show that the Southwestern
roads are having exceptionally
heavy tonnage everything considered,
but it is mostly on account Of the big
crops that have been raised in those
sections. Loading reports show that
the business Of the railroads is not q
great deal less than it was a year ago,
although officials have no hesitancy
in stating that there is not near the
amount in sight that there was a, Inat
time. But this is not causing a great
deal Of apprehension in regard to fu-
ture earnings. Most of the lines will
benefit largely by retrenchment and by
remunerative returns as a result Of re-
cent Improvements ana may be able
to keep their earnings up to the level
of the previous yeag regardless Of
the fact that some tstatistieians Who
are on the spot find that they are un-
able to figure it that way.

ORIGIN OF "COLD FEET"
The Poker Expression Was First
Heard in "A Game in an In
diana Town.

"Seated in the office of an interior
Cuban hotel one Sunday" said a traV-
cling man at the Raleigh to WASH
ington Star reported, 81 noticed a
gathering of six or seven playing some
came at a table which l supposed was
Spanish, as the conversation was IN
that language. The office was right on
the street and the doors stood open. L
was reading a paper and paid no atten-
ton until my ears caught the famlhar
words-four flush. / strOlled over to
the table and found that game OF
poker was in full blast. The converse
ton was in Spanish, but all the Amerl-
can terms of the game were III Engllsh,
which sounded odd. Presently there
was some little commotion and l
caught the words cold feet, uttered by
several of the party. One OF the num-
her. who had most of the checks, was
c2shing in. ! did not know that the
Cubans had the faintest idea OF the
meaning of the expression, but 1t had
evidently travelled to that country
along with the game. 1t occurred to
me at the time that while the express
sion was general all over the world,
and especially in the United States,
less than half a dozen people knew It's
origin. 1 happened to be in the game
when the term was first used-that is,
when it originated. 1t was in an In
diana town, and had been invited to
join a little party by customer Oh
mine. A young merchant had phenom-
email luck and soon had all the checks
and several due bills. About midnight
he began to get restless and made the
usual excuses to get out of the game.
Ho",scr, he was good-natured and
yielded to the pressing requests Of the
losers. Finally he said: Leave me
out of the game a hand or two, boys,
my feet are cold.' Well, he Rugged that
base-burner for an hour till the losers
broke up the game in despair. After
that whenever anyone attempted to
quit that game ahead he was greeted
with the exclamation cold feet The
travelling men who scatter everything
good over this earth took it up, and
now the expression goes wherever the
game hnds its way" 49,
