FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
PROMINENT FEATURES
OF the Month of January-Warm and
Cold Waves, Rain and Snow, Variable
Temperature.

copyrighted 1909 by w. T. Foster }
Washington, D. c., Jan. 2.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent to 5, warm wave
Dec. 81 to January 2, cool wave 3 to 7.
This disturbance was expected to follow
a cold wave, causing great rise in tent
perature, Or an inward movenent-o of not
less than 40 degrees from January to
g. Rains north and south, followed by
SHOWS north during last days Of Decen1-
ber.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about E, cross Pacific slope by
close of 7, great central valleys 8 to 10,
eastern states II. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about 6, great central
valleys 8, eastern states 10. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about 9, great
central valleys II, eastern states 10.
This disturbance will bring out some
of the most prominent weather features
of the month In front of it will come
the great warm waves of the month
Before the arrival of its storm center
the temperatures will have risen more
than 40 degrees within six days, and
following it will come a long period of
falling temperatures that will go down
so degrees within ten days.
No cold wave will follow this dis
turbance Immediately, but cool wave
that will cause rain or snow according
to latitude. Heaviest rains and SHOWS
will probably be in the great central
valleys
The king of planetary worlds. the
great Jupiter, will dominate January
weather, but Venus and the swift footed
Mercury, aided by our moon, will have
share in distributing the electric and
magnetic forces that cause Our weather
changes.
Present interest in long range weather
forecasts surpasses all previous manifes-
tations. The people of Washington are
taking much interest in the remarkably
close forecasts published in the Wash
ington Herald The great cold wave the
first week of December and the great
snow storm about December 22, both of
which hit our capital city, attracted gen
eral attention because they were long
before accurately foretold by my fore
casts.
An old folklore saying was that lie
will travel league while truth is put
ting on his bots. All peoples have
learned how quickly and eagerly false
theory is accepted and how tenacious1y
held to while truth creeps along like a
snail. But when truth comes it remains
with u.s.
So-called scientific theories have dom
mated in astronomy, magnetism and me-
teorology long enough; their time to
pass is near. l am confident that my
theories of the universe and the physi-
cal forces that control it will soon be
accepted by the orthodox scientists and
that all government weather bureaus
will soon base their work on the great
discoveries | have made.
As Admiral Schley said, there will be
honors enough for all of us: the news
papers that have given publicity to my
work, the men of means who have so
greatly aided me financially in my inves-
legations, leaving for myself the honor
of having made the most important dis
coveries that ever came to the human
race.

GAY.SHATTUCK LAW
One Clause May Be Found to Be I'M
constitutional.

The Inmes-Democrat says: Probably
the most interesting phase of the Gay
Shattuck law, now that the agitation
about measurements and the renewal of
permits has slmmered down somewhat,
IS whether that clause of the law pro-
h1bltlng foreigners or residents of other
States from operating bar rooms is con-
stitutional. Many of the most prominent
lawyers of the city say without hesi-
fancy that it is not, and that if it be en-
forced against foreigners it will be an
abrogation of treaty rights which they
participate in. These lawyers say that,
while the unconstitutionality of the
clause is very patent, to get case in the
Federal court to test it would be ex-
tremely difficult.
They point out one way in which a
case might be taken to the government
courts-through application for habeas
corpus-but there even seems to be some
doubt about the success of this method.
1t is explained that a foreigner now
keeping bar room might apply for
renewal of his permit, and if the city
council refused him he could continue to
operate hih saloon and thus intentionally
violate the law He would then be ar
rested, and could apply to the Federal
court for writ of habeas corpus, de-
claring that he had asked for the right
to do business but could not get it. He
could declare he was being Disseminated
against because he was foreigner; that
citizens of Louisiana were allowed to
operate bar rooms and he was not, not
withstanding the rights granted him by
the treaty between his country and the
United States.
Lawyers who take this view of it ex-
plain that in case of absolute prohibi-
tion foreigners could be legally de-
prived of the right to conduct saloons,
because there would be no discrimina-
ton, native citizens being subject to the
same prohibition.
Another way that is suggested for a
foreigner to test the Objectionable clause
is to seek mlandamus compelling a
council or police jury to renew his per-
init or grant him an initial permit. But
some say this method would be failure
from the start, for a city council or
police jury may refuse to grant permit
and give no reason for its refusal. The
applicants. application may be all that is
requisite, but the council might reject it.
If the foreigner then opened his saloon,
having no permit, and was arrested, his
case would be poor one An applica-
ton for a nfandamus in the face of his
palpable violation, it is thought, would
not be considered by court. Some at
torneys think the Federal court would
look the same way at an application for
habeas corpus by violator not having
permit through the councils refusal
to grant it, for the foreigners right to
what citizens are entitled to would be
overshadowed by his intentional viola
ton.

The characters OF Reagan and Hogg
have been spotheosized by Texas
Democrats but their work Il no more
sacred than Il was while they were
living. In their day and generation
they served the people well ard 'cit

This appeal to Ignorance and preju-
dice Is unworthy Of a newspaper that
has any respect for the intelligence OF

expressed by the Star-Telegram Is a
