Test Suit on she Mueller Law
Decided for City.
Act Is Held to Be Constitution.
al and Valid.
VICTORY is COMPLETE.
Court Holds Against Each Point
Advanced by Complainants.
Work Of Municipaliztng Rail-
ways Can 60 on.

HIcAGO, Sept 15.-Judge
Thomas G. VFInder, in the
circuit court today decided in
favor of the city Of Chicago,
in the Injunction suit based
on the Mueller law which
provides for the issuance Of SIS. $780,
600 worth of railway certificates by
the city.
The law is declared constitutional
by the court who also held that sub
sequent ordinances regarding the pur-
chase and operation of~the street rail-
ways, passed by the city, are in COM
pIiance with the law.
The decision is a coB4p1ete victory
for the city. the court holding against
every point advanced by the COM
plainants in their bill which was dis
missed for want of equity The court
pointed out that it is the evident pur-
pose of the legislature and of the Chi
cago city council in the laws and or
dinances passed by those bodies to
give the city the right to municipalize
the street railways. Regarding the
alleged unconstitutionality of the
Mueller law, the court declared that
while there may be in some points a
doubt as to the intent of the legisla-
ture, he believed the doubt should IA
vor what appeared to be the inten-
ton of the legislature in enacting the
N easure.
The attorneys for the city were ju-
bilant because of the decision, claim
ing that the court had upheld their
contentious in every respect. The case
viii now be appealed to the state SUI
preme court which will take 1t un-
der advisement next month.
The attack upon the constitutional
ity of the Mueller law was made by
certain tax payers who desired to re-
strain the city authorities from exc
cutting any mortgage, trust deed or
street railway certificates, the money
from which was to be used for the
purchase Of the street railways Of the
city. The court was asked to declare
void certain city ordinances which de-
clared that the city should issue the
certificates in amount not exceeding
100000 and proceed to purchase
and operate the street railways It
was also asked of the court that It
pass upon the constitutionality of the
law itself The city filed a demurrer
to the bill Of the complainants and
the decision of Judge Winder today
not only upheld the econstitutionality
of the law, but declared that ordin-
ances passed by the city are right and
proper and then dismissed for want OF
equity the bill Of the eomplainants.

Duo RISLEY IS OUT.
Oklahoma City Has Fired Manager Of
Its BAH Team.

The CooIeycrows returned from Jop-
lin on the fast mail train this morning
The recent trip has been the most sue
cessful one Of the year and gives Tope-
ka q cinch on the pennant. Cooley is
especially encouraged over the prospects
of the team at this time He is always
confident of the White Sox winning the
rag but this morning he seemed more
so than ever before. The taking seven
out of eight games is a better showing
than he had expected and it naturally
makes him proud of his team.
Cooley does not think Shively was
right in the statement that he was
wrong in taking his team from the held
in the recent game after Joplin had re-
moved the umpire from the game u M
pire Dunn awarded us the game before
he was taken from the field and that is
all there was to it., said the White Sox
captain. Baker had no more right to
appoint an umpire to take his place
than I did and the game was ours any
how by Dunn's decision If Joplin can
not keep the crowds away from an UNI
pire without taking him off the field
Dunn was all right in his decisions and
favored US no more than he did Jop-
lin"
There is one new pitcher on the stan
since the team left last week. Boles
Joined the team in Kansas City Tues
day evening on their way to Joplin and
in Thursdays game beat Durbin. He
will pitch again tomorrow. The deal
with Dummy Curtis fell through.
The Oklahoma City team arrived in
the city this morning. Manager J. H.
Chinn is in charge of the team on this
trip. Oklahoma City played her last
home game yesterday afternoon and it
will long be remembered as the game
that marked the downfall of Whining
bud" Risley for he was Internationally
released after the game According to
the dope which comes from the new
states metropolis Risley appeared on
the field under the influence of drink
With the game a little to the advan-
tage of Wichita Risley yanked Nelson
out of the box and went in himself.
His work was a farce and many OF the
fans left the game in disgust. Risley
has been under the ban of the baseball
public of Oklahoma City most of the
season and several times his relations
with the team were placed in jeopardy.
Mr.. Chinn had on his promise to be good
allowed his better judgment to be over
ruled and has kept the scrappy mana
ger on the team much longer than he
would have done had he to do it over
again. There are many ugly rumors
about Risley.
Bemis has left the team for the rest
of the season but Oklahoma has five
pitchers with the team on the present
trip. Arnold and Burns both new men
besides Nelson, Root and Woods.
Wilson who plays right field for Ok
| iahona City hasc been appointed by
Manager Chinn to captain the team for
/ the rest of the season. He certainly
ought to be a great Improvement over
! Rtsley.
The game this afternoon will be call
ed at O'Clock. Topeka Will not be
forced to submit to mediocre umpiring
and will handle the Indicator this after
I noon.

Washington. Sept. ia brief in
support of the petition of former
United States Senator Burton@of Kan
sas for rehearing in the case in which
he has been found guilty Of accepting
a fee for services rendered the RiaIto
company of St Louis, has been fled in

nature Of a supplication for another
opportunity to present the case, and
says in part:
ssBelieving that the trial in the court
below was not fair one and that the
verdict rests on evidence not tech
nicaIIy but substantially improper,
evidence which removed the case from
the region of fact to the realm of sus-
picion and believing also that evidence
was excluded which alone could meet
and rebut the evidence wrongfulIy de-
cided, we earnestly pray for a re-

HOUSE GOWN NECESSARILY.

Every woman should have at least
one simple house gown to be worm
only in the morning, for every one is
wearied of the everlasting shirt waist,
and then, too, unless the cloth skirt
Is kept to be worn only in the house
1t will soon become too shabby to
with the cloth jacket. A street
suit should never be worn in the
house any more than absolutely nee
essary. for not only is it too warm to
be comfortable, but 1t will at once
lose its style and freshness.
A thin plaid gown made much on
the order of a shirt waist suit is al
ways an exceet tie olmkfylsln-Mvon
ways an excellent style of morning
house dress. The embroidered linen
and cuffs, which are so fash
lonable again, will relieve the sim
plicity of the gown and keep it look
ing trim and neat.
