NO DECISION REACHED.
Recess Taken to Get More Evidence
Concerning Judge Isenhart.

In the contest over the will of the
late S. b Isenhart, being heard by
Probate Judge Hayden, a recess was
taken today until Saturday to allow
the parties attacking the will to pro-
duce more evidence.
The testimony of witnesses sum-
mOned by the brothers and sisters
who were not remembered in the viii,
and who are trying to have it set
aside was to the effect that on April
q. the day Judge Isenhart made his
will leaving all his property to his
sister, Mrs Florence Douglass, OF
Fargo. n. D., that he was not in his
right mind
The main testimony of those at
lacking the viii was given by Henry
Wolf a barber, who testified that he
shaved Judge Isenhart on April 81,
and that while he was there shaving
him that Isenhart imagined he saw a
lake of water on the floor and saw
lions and snake and other visions
common to a person suffering from
delirium tremens.
The side trying to sustain the viii
/ introduced testimony to the effect that
Wolf did not shave Isenhart on April
27, and that he had been shaved only
/ on Sundays while at the hospital. At
! torney Hungate. for the brothers and
| sisters attacking the will, said he
could produce evidence to show that
Wolf did shave the patient the day
/ the will was made. The adjournment
was taken until Saturday morning.

ARBrTRATTON.

To arbitration as a means of set
Ting labor disputes there can scarcely
be any objection. but to compulsory
arbitration there appears to be two
sides.
The chief justice of New South
Wales has violently denounced the
compulsory arbitration act which has
been in force in that colony since
1901. He declares that it encroaches
on the liberty of the subject as regards
person and property, creates new
crimes, interferes with the liberty of
employers and employees, and prevents
the former from giving and the latter
from obtaining employment except on
forms settled by the court. 1t also,
he ayers, deprives the employer of the
conduct of his own business, the man
agement of which is vested in a tri-
bunal which must be obeyed under
penalty, and finally states that the law
is productive of great amount of
litigation and i'll feeling. In opposi-
ton to this is the statement of the
agent general for New South Wales,
who AYERS that the act has been bene-
fetal to the community. With rare
exceptions, he states. it has stopped
strikes and lockouts, and thus helped
toward contentment and prosperity.
The New South Wales act is forme ed
, on the system which has been in
vogue in New Zealand for about a
decade. Special arbitration tribunals
are provided upon which the employ
| ers and employed are represented, the
! third member being a judge of the
i courts. The services of the tribunal
can be invoked only by organized
bodies of employers and employees
and these organizations are held re-
sponsible for any refusal to obey the
tribunals findings. The system is said
to have worked we'll in New Zealand
where, owing to fairly prosperous
times, the findings have generally beer
in favor of the employees. The vita
test of the system. it is claimed, viii
come when times are hard and the
tribunals will be called upon to decree
a reduction of wages.

The doctrine that every mans house
is his castle" seems to be played out
in New York" Smashing in the outer
order to serve a. warrant on her was a
queer proceeding. Its queerness was
not lessened by the fact that the pub
lie prosecutor didn't have any evidence
to justify the warrant when the pris-
oner was brought into court. Another
queer proceeding, likely to end in an
other case of house breaking, is the
conspicuous picketing of the house of
Mrs. Frederick Nelson as a means for
serving a subpoena on that lady's SON
in-law, Mr.. Reginald Vanderbilt.-Ro-
chester Democrat.
But it didn't. The cases may nave
been different and it is certain the peo-
pie involved are. The doctrine that. the
law is no respecter of persons does not
always apply to those entrusted with
the laws enforcement.
