Probabilities of a grain rate war as

$4,000 BRIBE

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-George
Marine and his brother Anton of
2014 Hereford street received a
black hand" letter, written to
them jointly and demanding in an
Italian scrawl $4,000. The broth
ers were to take the money in a
sack and deposit it in front of the
Commercial building, Sixth and
Olive STREETS, at midnight or dyna-
mite would be placed beneath their
homes and the entire family de.
stroyed.
George appealed to the mounted
police and they sent him to Assist
ant Chief Gillaspy. The latter de.
tailed officers on the case. George
wanted to carry a pistol, but the
chief told him he had no power to
grant that request.
The appointment" was kept, but
no trace of the black handlers
was obtained. Then George was
sent home. He will house a small
arsenal in preparation for an at
tack.

year. The girls of the university
have always been efficient In ath-
letics, having at one time or an

fencing teams, but never has any
thing so elaborate as the present
campaign been planned for.
This year a regular course in
athletics will be given for women,
and certain perfection in at least
two different branches and a gen.
eral knowledge of others will be
required. The young ladies will be
put through stiff courses in run
ming, shot putting, discus throwing
and other stunts" that would

the end of the semester big meet
will take place at which the fair
athletes will show what they can
do in competitions.

Another step in the attack of the

passed by the people June 4, 1906.
In this brief, the corporation de-
MES liability on the ground that the
initiative act under which the IL
cense is levied Is invalid and repug-

arguments advanced are that the

and is double taxation; that the in

license Is levied, violates the initia-

the license measure is void, be-
cause that constitutional amend
ment under which is was enacted
by the direct vote of the people is
repugnant to the federal constitu-
ton.
Further, the brief states, initia-
tive legislation IS invalid because
government by the people directly
is inconsistent with our form of
government. The assertion is made
that Initiative legislation violates
the guarantee of republican form
Of government. and the issue raised
by such violation is a judicial,
and not political, question. Taxa
ton, continues the brief, by the in
itiative method violates funda-
mental rights, and is not nj accord
ance with the law OF the land. The
initiative destroys the legislative
assemblies or legislatures which it
is the implied obligation of each
state to maintain, for a legislature
must be the law making power.
The initiative overthrows one of
the greatest safeguards against the
abuse of power of legislation, to
wit, the system of dual legislative
assembly.
