MOTION WAS
DENIED TODAY

Judge Mumford has denied the motion
OF Warwick and Coventry Water COM
pany VS. Edgar f. Matteson, tax collect
or of Warwick that the bill be taken as
confessed. John j. Arnold, the energetic
defender OF the water company's rights.
argued on Wednesday last that as an an
swer was not filed by the respondent
within 30 days the bill must be taken as
confessed against the tax collector and
that the court had no discretion in the
matter.
Mr.. Arnold based his claim on section
3l3 of the court and practice act This
was a bill TO restrain the sale OF land and
property of the complainant for taxes.
The case has been twice before the
court on the question OF a preliminary
injunction and the failure OF counsel for
complainant to produce certain books has
been a factor at these hearings. The case
will come again before the court tonor-
row.
Judge Mumford In his rescrlpt says
"Under the circumstances, and i'm view
of the travel OF the case, II such decree
were entered. the court would deem It
its duty TO set the decree aside on appl-
caion seasonably made. and 90 do so with
out terms or conditions. That duty be-
comes clear. if possible. In view OF the
claim OF counsel for the complainant.
that the continuance was had for the ac-
commodation OF the court. for the court
surely cannot allow counsel 10 be preju-
diced by reason OF their readiness TO con-
suit the conveniences OF the court.
Under these circumstances / do not
consider II TO be the duty OF the court
TO enter a decree which Il must forth
with undo: TO take two steps In order that
the case may be I'm exactly the same con-
dition as at the presnt time"

REMEMBERS THE SABBATH
GREAT NORTHERN PASSENGER
DEPARTMENT OFFERS BIBLE
EXCUSE FOR DENYING SUNDAY
TRAIN.

Cass Lake, Mimi, April 10 The
Commercial club of Park Rapids re-
Gently adopted resolutions requesting
the Great Northern railway to install
Sunday passenger service on the line
which passes thru Park Rapids. q. |.
Whitney, passenger traffic manager OF
the Great Northern, informed the Park
see it's way clear to install the train on
the Sabbath, and added that it was the
company's policy properly to observe
the s'Lord's day as much as possible.
Notwithstanding much disappoint
ment at the action Of the company, one
organization heartily commends the
stand taken by the company, as resolu,
lions recently adopted by the w. c. T..
u. of Hubbard witness:
''Inasmuch as those nations which
take God into their councils, and whose
laws are shaped in accordance with His
will, are the most enlightened and pros
true of individuals, corporations and
committees;
"Therefore, be it resolved, That we
deplore the action taken by the Com
mercial club of Hubbard county in it's
effort to get a Sunday train on this
branch of the Great Northern railway,
inasmuch as it lowers the moral stand.
ard Of the people, brings hardship to
the railway employees and ieopardizes
the lives Of the travelling public; be it
further resolved, that we send copy
of these resolutions to F. l. Whitney
expressing our appreciation Of his de-
cision.'' - ~

RAISES STANDARD OF
NORMAL SCHOOL WORK
WILL BE ON HIGH SCHOOL
BASIS
Students Must in Future Be Graduates

Two Years-State Textbook Tan-
gle Unraveled
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
BERKELEY, June 30.-By resolu-
ton passed this afternoon by the state
normal school board, which is meeting
here with the state board of education,
all normal schools in the state are
placed practically on high school
basis.
The resolution raises the standard
of normal school work by providing
that none but graduates of high schools
shall enter.
The length of the course is placed
at two years.
The Chico and San Diego normal
schools have been admitting ninth
grade pupils and this must now stop.
Governor Pardee presided this morn
ing and the action taken settles a
question that has been pending five
years.
The state board of education also
met today and Governor Pardee sue
ceeded in smoothing out the tangle into
which the board got yesterday over the
question of who should take the initi-
ative in purchasing state textbooks.
He counseled harmony between the
textbook committee and the board as
a whole.
