Law and Ordinances Based Upon 1t De-

TO PREVENT BOND ISSUE
Bill Filed by Interested Parties Dismissed
for Want of Equity.
CASE ToBE APPEALED TO SUPREME COURT

alteration of IL Next Month
Attorneys for City
Jubilant.

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-Judge Thomas q.
windes, in the circuit court today, decided
in favor of the city of Chicago in the in
junction suit based on the Mueller law,
which provides for the issuance OF s7b0oo,OoO
worth of railway certificates by the city.
The law was declared constitutional by the
court who also held that subsequent ordi-
nances regarding the purchase and opera
tlon of the street railways, passed by the
city. are in compliance with the law.
The decision is a complete victory for
the city, the court holding against every
point advanced by the complainants in
their bill, which was dismissed for want
of equity.
Purpose of Legislature.
The court pointed out that II was the
evident purpose of the legislature and of
the Chicago city council in the laws and
ordinances passed by these bodies to give
the city the right to municipal ownership
of the street railways. Regarding the al
legged unconstitutionality Of the Mueller
law, the court declared that while there
may be in some points a doubt as to the
intent of the Legislature, he believed the
doubt should favor what appeared to be
the intent Of the legislature in enacting
the measure.
The attorneys for the city were jubllant
because of the decision, claiming that the
court had upheld their contentious in every
respect. The case will now be appealed
to the state supreme court. which will take
IL under advisement next month.
Law Attacked by Taxpayers.
The attack upon the constitutionality of
the Mueller law was made by certain tax
payers, who desired to restrain the city
authorities from executing any mortgage,
trust deed or street railway certificates,
the money from which was to be used for
| purchase of the street railways of the city.
| The court was asked to declare void GER
| tain ordinances. which declared that the
! city should issue the certificates In an
amount not exceeding s75,0oo.oo0 and pro-
ceed to purchase and operate the street
| railways.
| 1t was also asked OF the court that II
pass upon the constitutionality Of the Law
itself, The city filed q demurrer to the
bill of the complainants and the decision
of--Judge Windes today not only upheld
the constitutionality OF the law, but de.
clared that ordinances passed by the city
are right and proper. and then dismissed
for want Of equity the bill of the com

What He Heard.

There was a man in Kansas City
engaged in the piano-business who has
long been reputed to be hard of hear
ing. There are those among his friends
who doubt the genuineness of his af-
fiction. They believe his ctlstom OF
holding his hand to his ear and asking
for questions to be repeated is more
a matter OF habit than anything else.
Recently the deaf man and friend
were seeing the city by gaslight. In
the course Of the evening the friends
funds ran out.
I'D like to borrow five, if you can
spare IT," he said.
What dye say?" with his hand to
his ear, whats that?"
The friend had decided that five
might run him short, 50 he said as
loudly as he could: Can you lend
me ten dollars till morrow"
The deaf man dropped his hand
from his ear and remarked: Il
thought you said five!"-Kansas City
