TOO MUCH SIMPLE SPELLING.
Justice Bradley Quoted as writing Thru
m q Court Decisi0n.

WASHINGTON, Oct. SO.-Simplined spelling
received something of a jar in the United
states Supreme Court to-day. Solicitor
General Hoyt had just finished his opening
argument in a land case, when Chief Justice
Fuller, who had been following in the Gov
ernment's brief on the case, a quotation
cited by Mr.. Hoyt from a long & decision
of the court, came across a word spelled
thru"
DO understand you to say, Mr.. Solicitor
General" the Chief Justice inquired, with
simulated seriousness, that this purports
to- he a literal quotation from the opinion
o { Justice Bradley"
1T is, your Honor, replied Mr.. Hoyt, who
then glanced at the citation and also saw
that the Government printing Office, which
prints the briefs for the Department Of
Justice, had followed President Roosevelts
order az to spelling almost too literally
and had made Justice Bradley, who was
almost without a peer in the use Of correct
English, spell through according to the
revised method.
The Solicitor General explained that the
printing Office was operating under the
order as to simplifled spelling and he agreed
that in the Government briefs it should be
( followed as a matter of course. But he
submitted that in quotations like the one
in question the language OF the court should
not be altered. He practically promised
that the mistake should not occur again.
Chief Justice Fuller smilingly nodded his
approval, and the incident ended,

The strange case Of Regina Goldhurg,
sometime cook in an apartment ut $50 West
Eighty-ffth street, mixed the police and
hospital authorities in a tangle OF opinions
and bad language yesterday that lasted
from carly morning until afternoon. Drs.
brennan and Park Of Roosevelt Hospital
said IL was suIks, the police of the West
Sixty eighth street station house didn't
know, and DR.. Herrick OF Bellevue Hospital
said il " ~ hysteria.
Regina had been cooking in the Eighty
fifth street house for a week. Her mistress
decided to try another g,Iess on Monday
night and told Regina that she might cave
In the morning. Morning came and with it
many groans from Regina. The only an
swers to questions we're more groans, and
following the instinct Of all well regulated
families to call n cop when in doubt, the
mistress Ct the Eighty-iifth street apart
ment telephoned Police Headquarters for
an ambulance. DIR. brennan came, He
had Regina smoke a thermometer and
announced that she was taking.
When the doctor was zone Regina groaned
some more and was consigned to the care
~ the superintendent OF the apartment
house. He called Policeman Holland OF the
West SiXty-cighth street station house n
Holland, nndlnR mat the case was not IN Tue
book of rules, called Roosevelt Hospital
again. This time il was DR.. Park who came
with the ambulance. Regina got another
smoke and the same verdict-fake.
There EollOw ed W hat the police euphemisii-
cally call an argument which ended when
DR.. Park caTted Regina of to the West
Sixty-eighth street police station in the
ambulance, wheTehe lef. her with the puzzled
cops, who didn't want her a. all. Police
Surgeon Neshitt then came and gave it as
his opinion that Regina was insane, and the
wasn't a crime. decided To change his luck
and called another hospital.
DR.. Herrick came up from Bellevue NJ 2
O'Clock and said that Regina was suffering
from hysteria. She was taken to Bellevue
and the police, after trying TO make a straight
account on the blotter Of what happened
to Regina, began slowly to recover from d
state bordering nearly on that for which
Regina Is being treated.

TOM JOHNSON IN CONTEMPT
Charged with Overriding . supersedeas
OF the u, q. 8upfeme Court.


WASHINGTON, Oct. O.-There was q sug-
gestion that Mayor Tom johnson Of Glove
land is in contempt Of the Supreme Court In
a petition presented in that body by Attor-
ney Warrington for the Cleveland Electric
Railway Company, &sking that the Mayor
and other city ofRcsis be restrained from
interfering with the operation Of the COM
pany's car line on Erie street. pending the
decision Of the Supreme Court on an appeal
now before IL.
1t is another outbreak OF the long htiss-
ton growing out OF Johnson's attempt to put
into effect three cent fares in that city. He
asserted that the electric oompany's fran
chises for that portion Of its lines on Erie
street and Central avenue expired on March
%, 1905, while the company maintained that
the franchises ran until 1914. The City
Council gave the right to use these streets to
the Forest City Railway Company, and
when the Cleveland company took the case
to the courts it was decided that the fran
chises had expired in 1905.
The company then appealed to the Supreme
Court and the cas- is now on the docket.
With an appeal goes a supersedeas direct.
ing the litigants 10 maintain the existing
status of affairs until the Ease is determined
In other words, the railway ompany was
10 be above ed the use OF the disputed streets
pending the action OF the Supreme Court
on the company's appeal. According to
the affidavit presentd to-day by Attorney
Warrington. Mayor Johnson's police force
has violated the terms Of the sup~ersedeas
by preventing the company from running
its cars on Erie street since Friday last.
and it is also averred that the city officials
ave threatened to tear up the company Q
tracks on Erie street and Central avenue.
It was to prevent this Lattar action that the
applica ton was made to-day, the twelve
miles Of track on the two streets being the
most important part Of the go miles OF
track controlled by the company.
Mr.. Warrington stated TO the court the
for such unusual action as the issuance
OF a restraining order on top of the usual
supersedeas, and Chief Justice Fuller
recognized this and assured counsel that
the court would give its decision as soon
as possible.

LABOR UNION DESERTS RUFF.
D~enounce Men Wh6 Mixed Them Up I'm
San Francisco Graft Game.

80 WIZ
SAN Francisco, Oct. O.-There were few
developments to-day in the selection OF the
Grand Jury that is expected to indict Abe
Ruef, Mayor Schmitz and Inc alleged graft
ers OF San Francisco.
One Juror was excused, s. Fl. Daniels,
assistant cashier Of the Bank Of California,
because he was not q taxpayer, although
he is half owner Of a valuable piece Of real
estate.
The most important feature Of the day
was the following statement, sent out by
former Secret Service Agent Burns:
"The evidence gathered by ne in this case
10 as complete as that Of any case with
which l have ever been connected, but the
exiRencies OF the occasion demand that not
one word of it be made public until the proper
time comes. Nor have l given the slightest
intimation since the beginning Of this in
vestigation to any one as to the character
of the evidence, except to Mr.. Heney and
Rudolph Spreckels. II would be unbecom-
ing in me as an agent whose duty 1t is to
gather evidence to discuss the same in the
press"
The significance Of this statement lies
In the fact that Burns In a very reticent
man and always has been shy Of giving
out anything. Those who know him de-
clare that unless he had absolute legal
proof he would never make such a state
ment.
Nothing could demonstrate the sanity OF
the public better than last nights action Of
the Plumbers, Gas and Steamftters' Union.
This organization Of 700 men. without dis
senting voice, declared that the union,
VIII ,se name has been used in connection
with Ruef's meeting last Sunday, had nothing
whatever to do with the affair.
p. II. Mccarthy was denounced for bring
ing the union into Ruef' 3 partisan politics.

Good Claims in walker Lake Reservation.
WASHINGTON. Oct. So.-The three thou
sand or more settlers who moved on tho
Walker Lake reservation in Nevada yester-
day attracted by reports that the land CON
tanned rich deposits OF gold, may have to
pack their belongings and rush OF again.
according to unofficial statements made az
the Interior Department to-day.
The opening OF the Walker Lake reserva-
ton was announced by exploding a stick OF
dynamite. Then the rush began.
But there were only hundreds on the
line and these hundreds found thousands
already on the most desirable locations
on the reservation.
A despatch was received at he depart
ment to-day from Special Agent Parks
Rush from this end OF the reservation
was orderly and without disturbing inci-
dent. Two thousand persons passed
through here. Only about three hundred
in line when signal was fired at appointed
were within the reserv alton previous TO
the time set for opening, and most OF the
Valuable claims had been located and
marked"
Other advices. it is understood, state that
thousands instead OF hundreds were within
the reservation when the signal was heard
by the expectant fortune hunters.
II these reports are s~ubstantiated to the
satisfaction Of the Secretary Of the Interior
the claims Just taken at Walker Lake will
In all probability be ~invalidated.
HAWTHORNE, New, Oct. N.-Reports
from Waller River Indian Reservation show
profound disgust among the great body
OF prospectors who spent from a week to
ten days on the border ready for the signal
only to find that INSCRIPTIONS men had
invaded the reservation the night before
and preempted the best locations.
1t turns out that the agents made no
adequate provision against fraud. as there
we're only fifteen Indians to guard seventy
five miles Of border, and half these Indians
were drunk the day befor the rush.
Special Agent Harte declares that the
Government will have to revoke all loca-
tons and order a new opening, as M papers
car be issued when fraud is so apparent.
Big mining men are credited with hiring
n of -sooners" to get in the night be-
fore and capture choice locations.
