Demurrer OF UNCLE
SAM IS OVERRULED

Judge Dole this morning overruled
the demurrer of the defendant In the
case of Sorenson & Lyle vs.. the Uni
ted States on the grounds that 1.-The
rule In equity that a general demur-
rer will be overruled unless It APP
pears that upon no possible state OF
the evidence can degree be made.
applies here"
The facts of the case are given In
the beginning of the decision as fol-
lows:
The plaintiffs brought this action
against the United States of America
alleging the making of repairs to an
American schooner at the request
and under the direction of an officer
commanding a United States steam
ship and attached to the United
states Naval Station at Honolulu,
alleging that he was duly author
lied and acting in the premises for
and on behalf of the Navy Depart
ment of the United States Govern
ment," and alleging further that the
reasonable cost and value of the
work and material done and furnish
ed In said repairs, pursuant to such
employment and directions. is the
sum Of $101s.69. which amount is
claimed Of the defendant.
The defendant demurred to the
petition on the ground that Il does
not set forth sufficient facts to con-
stitute a cause of action against the
defendant. Defendants counsel
makes the following point under the
demurrer: That "the allegation that
Lieut.. Niblack was duly authorized
and acting in the premises for and
on behalf Of the Navy Department of
the United States Government
states no fact and is the mere opin-
ion or conclusion of the pleader."

The following day Mr., Bryan, speak

Of the American people and showed
that he is worth approximately $780,

Having thus accepted Speaker Can

Bryan demanded In return that
Speaker Cannon 'snitch on himself"
that Isl that Mr.. Cannon also "'fess
up" and relate just how he got hrs

naticaal congressional committee. on
March 70, 1905, exposed the diagram.
theft Of The peoples money through
tlsc uufsir we ching Of mails when Of
fcisa sess were made TO determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
"Mr Chairman. in delivering my adj
dress = few days since on postal con-
ditions. an discussing the iuterpreta-
ton OF tie law as 10 the Weighing OF
the mail, failed to stase the law on
she subject, and wish to do so now;
1.-THE average weight to be asccr-
talned, In every case, by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such num-
Der OF successive working days, not
less than thirty, st such times after
June so, 1873. and not less frequently
than once in every four years
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until March .. 1907. the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered. so that the weighing covered
period OF one hundred and FIVE days
Instead Of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con
strued TO mean week days. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this In
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order as his con-
struction Of the law:
"That when the weight of mail Ia
taken ON railroad routes, the whole
number Of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day
This required in effect, that, in
stead of dividing the number OF work
ing or week days In the weighing
period. the devisor should be the num-
Der OF days on which mail was actual
ly carried during the period. II II
was weighed one hundred and i've
days. the divisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and five. II
the mail was not carried ON Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This, as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the fun
week than for six days, for the ac-
cnmulared mail would be practically
the same whether carried in six days
or In seven.
THE present postmaster general,
seeing this predlcament. issued another
order Of construction. known az order
49, which ls as follows:
hat when the weight OF mail Is
taken on railroad routes Tie whole
number of days included In the weigh
ing period shall be used as q divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day
IF the construction MP to last year
was right, then there has been with
held from the railroads this year over
81 100000 that is theirs under the law.
If the present construction is the prop
or one, the railroads have received
over S70.0Go.o0O since 1880 that be
longs to the people: so that whichever
view IL sustained money has been
wrongfullv withheld through the post

MERRY WIDOW" HATS

The Wilmington Methodist Preachers'
Association is waging an active war on the
"Merry Widow" hat. At the weekly
meeting of the clergymen in Union Church
in that city Monday almost the entire
session was occupied with discussion on
the latest feminine head gear. The mat
ter was brought up by. Rev. DR.. Kellog,
pastor Of Grace Church, the weaIthiest OF
the denomination in Delaware. Both
DR.. Kellog and Rev. Mr.. Stephenson,
pastor Of Scott Church, placed themselves
on record as being strongly opposed to
the new hats, because the large rims pre-
vent other worshipers from even seeing
the preacher. They declared that if
women persisted in wearing the merry
Widow" hats men would refuse to attend
the services they would become tired Of
seeing nothing but hats. The discussion
was long, but the matter did not come to
a vote. The understanding was reached,
however, that female worshipers wearing
these hats must remove them upon enter
ing the church in order to give the men
chance.
