a majority of two in the supreme

tested his right to the office, is out
for good.
The court Saturday decided that
Hay should continue in office. as
his advertisement for the election
had not disqualified him. This
opinion was signed by Judges
Mount, Crow, Dunbar and Gose.
Judges Rudkin and Fullerton sign
ed a minority opinion to the eff
feet that Hay was disqualified by
the advertisement.
Chadwick had a little opinion
all his own. He held the opinion

far as their construction of the
statute went, but said that the law
on which the suit was based was
unconstitutional to begin with
and that, therefore, Hay should
not be ousted.

were charges Of drunkenness brought
against the husband and one Of un.

The hearing consumed SO much
time because of the whispering tao

have the testimony given in an ordi-

son, in the fede' al building yester-

fort on the part of the attorneys for

ment as to how rates are compiled
on the Northern Pacific.
w. A. Wimbish, attorney for the
commission, approached the subject
as delicately as pssible, using every
artifice known to the experienced
trial lawyer, but in vain. AS soon
as the net seemed closing about the
witness and it seemed that he must
make a direct answer, general state
mcnts alone were elicited, leaving
the inquisitors as completely in the
dark as before.
Thousands and thousands Of fac
tors enter into the process of rate
compiling" Mr.. Elliott often answer
err. Rates are determined a great
deal as the market price of commod-
titles is determined by a process which
Adam Smith, the great political econ.
omist. called 'higgling in the mar
ket.'"
Look to Patrons Interests.
But, Mr.. Elliott, suppose that your
competitors would raise the rates on
certain commodities without any ap-
parent reason for doing so; would

ample?" questioned Attorney VIM

WIRELESS OPERATOR
PROVES SELF HERE

Chicago, Nov. 25.-(Special)- TO
the courage of James McLevy, 49,
year-old wireless operator and to the
aerial signal IS S" forty human
beings aboard the disabled steamer
Puritan, crippled in midlage during
the storm of Monday, admitted with
emphatic expressions of thankfulness
yesterday they owed their lives. They
had been landed safe and sound at
South Chicago in the late afternoon
after hours of helpfulness.
Everybody aboard the boat from
Capt. John Crawford and three
women among the passengers, to the
sailors and stokers, beginning the
moment land was sighted an hour
from shore, stormed the little wire
less cabin and showered congratula.
tions and gifts upon the youthful
master of the wireless key.
White-faced and surrounded by
many of those on board the crippled
boat, McLevy stood to his post and
clicked and flashed the signal
which is the newly adopted interna-
tional warning of distress-again and
again after the boat had lost its rud.
der and while it pitched and tossed
almost like a cork in the trougf1s of
the wind-swept sea.
Finally the answer came
&c. @. D. S. &C. o. A. B. H"
The clicks meant that his message
had been received in Chicago, that
the boat City of Benton Harbor had
been notified of the Puritan's dis
