TRESPASS BY TELEPHONE
UlnQue Question Before the Massachu-
 setts Supreme Court.

Setts Supreme Court.
 Boston, Jan. 9-The unique question whether person may trespass by tele- phone was the topic of discussion be- fore Judge Richardson in the superior court to-day on bill brought by the Derby Desk company. and the superin- tendent of it's Somerville factory, George L. Holton, against his wife, Jennie H. P Holton, of Cambridge, who is living apart from him, and who, it was alleged, frequently called him by telephone. Mrs Holton demurred to the bill and her demurrer was sustain ed after the discussion, on the ground that her husband was improperly join ed as plaintiff.
 Judge Richardson expressed the opin- ion that a husband could not maintain a bill against his wife, because lie took chances on the things complained of in this case when he married the woman. The court thought, however, that the company could maintain bill by striking out the name of the husband and by stating more particularly the acts of trespass. T think one having a telephone in his house" said Judge Richardson, "could enjoin person from continuously ringing him up day and night upon unimportant matters, which sleep and rest to the occupant and to his great annoyance" The plaintiffs s bill will be amended.

Senator Bacon in supporting his resolutions contended for public dis cussion and seator Spooner declared that the adoption of the resolution would be an encroachment by the sen ate upon the constitutional rights of the president and virtually would charge him, in a manner amounting all most to insult, with ignorance of his duties as chief magistrate.
 Ofeense was taken by Senator Bacon to the remarks of Senator Spooner, the former declaring that he did not pur- pose tt be charged With insulting the president. Mir. Spooner said that he did no. mean to imply that it had been an insult to introduce the resolution, but that it would be an affront to the pres ident t. adopt measure which ques- tioned the executive on a matter in which he was well within his own rights.
