BATCH or DECISIONS.
Supreme Court Holds HOrSeShOerS'
Law to Be Invalid-Ofher
Opinions.

Olympia, Dec. 21.-Nine opinions
were filed in the supreme court yester-
day. Among the number is one de-
claring the measure known as the
horse shoers' law unconstitutional and
void; in another it is held that the
statute of limitations begins to run
against the stock holders of an insolv-
ent bank from the date Of the insolv.
ency and not from the final liquida-
ton of it's assets.
For the first time the court passes
upon the application Of the old Eng
lish statute of frauds in this state,
holding that as far as it applies to the
leasing of realty it has been suppressed
ed by state legislation, and that YER
bal lease of realty can only be con-
strued as lease from month to month.
The horse shoers' law is declared to
be in contravention of Article /, Sec
tion 3, of the state constitution, and
also to the Fourteenth amendment to
the constitution Of the United States.
It was argued before the court that the
law was constitutional as an exercise
of police power iof the state in provid-
ing for the welfare of the people. The
court holds that there is limit to the
police power, and that the act COM
planned of cannot be sustained as a
legitimate exercise of that power un
der the fundamental law Of the state.
The test of the law was made on ha
beas corpus proceedings in behalf Of
Ronald Aubrey, of Tacoma.

New York Supreme Court Refuses 70
enjoin Strikes.
New York, Dec. 19.-Justice Janke
OF the appellate division Of the New
York supreme court, has handed down
decision that an injunction against
organizizing a strike cannot stand.
He modified an injunction to prevent
a strike which had been issued by Jus.
tice Dickey, Of the supreme court. in

William Nissan and other EMPLOYERS
against the United States Printing
Company, of Ohio, the international
Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union
and others. in which the d aintiffs
asked the court to prevent the union,
from striking to force the printing
companies to discharge nonunion men.
The court held that it could not en-.
join the strike and that the picketinp.
which consisted only of stationing
men for observation without molesta.
ton, would be lawful. Justice jerks
says in his decision that "pfcketine"
may also mean stationaing men to CO.

or turn aside against their will othes
who desire to go into the picketed
place where they wish to work. In
that case picketing il unlawful.

Portland, Or, Dec. 21.-The Ore
gonian says that it has become known
that the grand jury which is investi-
eating the land fraud charges has been
approached, and the man who did 1t
is known to the federal authorities.
The attempt was unsuccessful, 80 it is
stated. 1t aslo transpires that infor-
nation is leaking from the jury room
as to what is taking place there. This
would not be serious if it did not indi-
cate that it is possible to get into com.
munication with this jury.
The witnesses before the grand jury
yesterday were s. b Ormsby. q former
forest ranger; Marie l.. Ware. L. ia
cchs, one of the principal witnesses in
the first case, and Mrs. Emma l.. Wat
son, already convicted of conspiracy,
who, it is said, has confessed. Moth
ing is known as to the nature OF their
testimony. 1t is thought that no an
nouncements will come from the jury
until the last of the present week. Sat-
urday, according to present intentions,
the jury will adjourn until after the
holidays, when it is expected that some
very important indictments will be re-

Agricultural College Wants Larg3
APPROXIMATION.

Olympia, Dec. 19.-The biennial re-
port of the Washington agricultural
college and school Of science, now in
the hands CT the governor asks for an
appropriation Of $40, 900 for a new col
lege hall to replace the present struct-
ure, deemed by President E. A. Bryan
to be both unsafe and inadequate. Ad-
ditional departments for mechanical
and electrical engineering, including
more floor space, new tools and ma
chlnery will require an expenditure of
$4,000. President reopens the agita-
ton for the change of the name Of the
institution, the name agricultural

REPORT ON TERRITORIES.
Senate Committee Recommends the
Combining Of Four to Make
Two States.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on territories, by a vote Of
6 to 4, has authorized favorable re-
port on the statehood bill providing
for admission into the union of Okla
homa and Indian territory, to become
the state of Oklahoma, and for the ad
mission of Arizona and New Mexico,
to be the state of Arizona.
The bill is one originating in the
house in the second session of the Fiji
ty-eighth congress, but has been
amended materially by the senate COM
mittee. The closeness of the vote prac-
ticrally makes in certain that there
will be minority report.
The opponents of the bill will con-
test its passage on the ofor of the sem
ate. The statehood bill will be unfin-
ished business in the senate after the
vote on the Philippines bill.
Nearly all Of the time since the
opening of the present congress the
senate committee on territories has
been at work perfecting the house bill,
but it was not until late Thursday that
vote could be had, the death of SEN
ator Quay, who had fought persistent
~ for the admission of each of the
four territories as a separate state.
leaving the committee equally divid-
ed. The vacancy was filled by the
appointment of Senator Dick. The
most important changes made in the
house bill are the insertion of a clause
prohibiting traffic in liquor for a peli-
cd of ten years in that part of the pro-
posed state of Oklahoma now known
as Indian territory and the elimination
from the house bill of all provisions
with reference to suffrage, except the
following:
THAT such state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridging the
right of suffrage on account Of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude."
As passed by the house the bill con-
tanned exceptions, but also specifically
permitted the proposed states, if they
80 desired, to abridge SURFACE on &C
count of sex. The provision as to sex
caused so many protests from women
surfagists that the committee struck
out the provision on this subject. thus
leaving no reference whatsoever in the
bill that might indicate an opinion OF
any sort on the question OF female
suffrage.

and John the Baptist is recorded as

WORDS AND THEIR USES.
About 5000 Only Are Used by Edu-
Gated People.

About 5000 Only Are Used BY Edu-
Gated People.
No one can say how many words
there are in the English language, be-
cause there are SO many words Of
doubtful standing, says the Springfield
Republican The Century dictionary
contains about 225.OOO words. and the
new edition of the Standard dictionary
lays claim to over 100000. OF these
many are obsolete, and many others
are rarely used. Science has added
vast vocabulary Of polysyllables that
are scientific formula rather than real
words. They have no place in general
literature The ordinary English vo-
cabulary may be said to contain from
10000 to $4,000 words, the latter esti-
mate being large. No single writer Of
literature has used SO many as the
lower number named.
Shakespeare, whose vocabulary IL
larger than that Of any other English
poet, unless it be Browning, used about
1900 words, while Milton, whose
IduSC Wd6 udIIOWCAy ShupiOy ohiy
about half that number. The vocabu-
larry of the illiterate has been set as
low as 30 words but this must be ex-
ceptional. It's more likely that the
ordinary wOrkingman" uses from q
600 to 5000 words, while. Of course,
he II familiar with several thousand
more, which he recognizes in print but
does not himself use. The common
estimate Of the average vocabulary
Of educated people Is from 5000 to
5000, but in this case the number OF
words which are not used Is enormous
ly increased. A well-read college grad
uate should be familiar with perhaps
100000 words, while in the course Of
a year he might not use 5000 Of them
in his writing or conversation. Short
hand reporters find about $500 word
signs and contractions ample for rep
resenting the words which are COM
monty used in public. speaking.

Berlin, Dec. 22.-Sensational CORES.
pondence has passed between the Ger
man and British governments during
the last four weeks with reference to
the warlike and provocative attitude
adopted toward Germany by the semi
official British press, especially the
Army and Navy Gazette.
The kaiser took hand in the nego-
tiations and made his vigorous person
atty felt in positive way. He in
structed that the British cabinet should
be Informed in effect that if England
wanted war it could have it immedi-
ately; if it was not DESTROYS of such
an event the talk which Germany con-
sidered an affront must stop.
Both Count Wolff Metternich, Ger
man am bassador in London, and Sir
Charles F. G. Lascelles, British am
bassador in Berlin, were cralled home
by their respective governments to dis
cuss the situation.
The publication which induced the
German government to assume its
strong attitude were series of arti-
cles in the Army and Navy Gazette
eliminating in the declaration that
the Kaiser's navy was so rapidly be-
coming menace to Great Britain that
war would better be declared now in
order that the German feet might be
destroyed before it should become a
still greater menace.
Both Premier Balfour and Lord Lans-
downe have now been told that Ger
many is impatient Of this distrust of
it's naval policy, which it accuses the
National Review, the Army and Navy
Gazette and other papers Of generating
among the British people. The faith
erland wishes Britain to understand
once for all that it has not the slight
est intention Of abandoning the devel-
opment of its navy and its nero chant
marine at British behest, no matter
how much of bogy they constitute.
