argued before Judge Lochren yester-
day was as to whether the federal
court had jurisdiction. No other ques-
ton was raised. Had the demurrer
been sustained the company's case
would have been thrown out of the
federal court. Judge Lochren, how
ever, held that a federal question was
involved and that the federal court had
jurisdiction.
Something like four hours were con-
sumed in the arguments of the denur
Ter yesterday, the. time being about
equally divided between Corporation
Attorney Michael and Attorney M. D.
Mum. The arguments were concluded
shortly before o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, and Judge Lochren rendered
his decision Immediately following.
AS has been stated, the suits are
brought for the purpose of determining
the liability of the company under the
provisions of the new home rule char
ter, which provides for. the payment to
the city by the company of 5.per cent
tax on the gross earnings of the entire
system of the company within the city.
This liability is denied by the COM
pany,s which claims to hold contract
with the city under Ordinance No. 81,
passed in 1879, and known as the horse
car ordinance.
The city declares to have this ordi-
nance declared forfeited on the ground
that the company has not complied
with its provisions for period Of more
than five years The company, on the
other hand, claims that none of its
rights under The old ordinance was de-
stroyed by its acceptance of later ordl-
nanees. It says these rights have
merely been suspended.
Mr.. Michael argued that the case
was one entirely within the jurisdic-
ton of the state courts He said both
of the corporations involved were Min
nesota corporations, and he believed
the federal court had no right to inter-
fere. The defendant company, he said,
had no right to presume that the case
would not be decided in the state court
except strictly according to the con-
stitution of the United States
Mr.: Munn,s claim that the COM
pany retained rights under the old
horse car ordinance, and that these
rights have been lying dormant, is SIM
ply myth said Corporation Attorney
Michael. "Ordinanee 1927, by the terms
of which the company was given au-
thority to change from anfmalSto cleo
trio power was entirely an independent
grant, except in SO far as it covered
streets already occupied by animal
power. In order for the federal court
to have jurisdiction at all It must be
shown that the c0mpanys vested rights
have been impaired. .
Mr.. Michael also charged that Mr.

"The Legend of the Onions. !"

A strange ceremony is always cele-
brated in the Abbruzzo-one of the
gayest regions of Italy-when the
onions have reached maturity. Onions
form the staple product of this part
of the country, and the legend runs
that long ago a hermit planted in
soil that was absolutely sterile some
of these vegetables, which, by the
blessing of God, grew and multiplied.
and that those who ate of them re
NAMED immune from the plague
which was then ravaging the country.
So every year an old villager, nude
to the waist, personifies the ancient
hermit and lectures his hearers on the
old legend, after which they gather
some seeds and take them home to
plant them, in orderAto insure a good
crop for the coming year.-London
