Telegraphers' Cramp.

An interesting feature of telegraphiSts'
cramp is that certain letters are nearly
always the stumbling block The most
frequent are &C" and "Y''-that is, the
code signals used for these letters. When
a sender begins to be conscious about
so common Il letter as &C. his case
soon becomes Il hopeless one. Another
form of cramp attacks the receiver of
the message. 1t takes the form of inabil-
lty to write fast enough to take down a
message, quickly transmitted. This is
easily understood when it is remembered
that a receiver often has to write contin-
uously to code diCtation. so to speak. for
hours at a time. The strain involved is
enormous, and leads fairly commonly to
what is practically form of nervous

COURT FOR ADDITIONAL SAL
AIRY OF $500.
BASES CASE ON PRESIDENTS.
Cites Virginia and California Cases to
Show He Is Entitled to In
creased Pay.
LAWYERS OF STATE INTERESTED.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 25.-[ Special
Briefs in the case of Il. NJ. Bashford
against the secretary of state to recover
$500 in salary which he claims to be
due him for his six months service on
the supreme court bench during the first
half of 1908. have been filed with the
high court by Mr.. Bashford on his own
behalf and by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Russell Jackson, who is acting for
the defendant, Secretary of State j. \.
Erear.
Cites Virginia Cases.
The briefs all have to do with the
courts action on the alternative writ
OF mandamus issued early in January
and quote at length from decisions of
different states, notable California and
Virginia, in similar cases. One of the
most Interesting references in the case is
that submitted by Mr.. Bashford to up
hold his contention that he is entitled
to pay for his six months of service un-
der the increased salary which was
granted by the Legislature in the 1907
session. This document was unearthed
from the files of the secretary of state
for the year 1857. 1t is an opinion
given upon request of the secretary of
state by two members of the supreme
court of that time and when the i'm
propriety of any state official asking the
supreme court for an informal opinion on
Il case which might reach that very court
for final adjustment is considered the
quotation takes on additional interest.
1t shows, particularly, the wide differ
ence in methods and ethics of Il half cen
fury ago and the present time. The
letter follows in full:
Consultation Room, July g. 1857.
To Hon. d. w Jones, secretary Of state:
We have had the matter of the term of
Office of the chief justice under consider
alton and after mature deliberation we are
of the opinion that the term" prescribed
by the organic act of 1852 expired with
the 31st day of May, 1857, and whether
he holds over by force of the constitutional
provision, or by other statutory provisions.
his increased salary under the act of last
winter commences from the first day of
June, 1857.
