THE VOTERS OF TRINITY.

Mr.. Zabriskie recalled the fact that the orig
iual authority Of Trinity obtained by royal
letters patent from William III, in 1881 that
in 1884 the Legislature repealed the Colonial
law Of 1704 granting certain privileges and
powers 10 the inhabitants Of the city in the
English Church communion and told how the
charter Of 1914. which he reminded the court
was in full force, had limited the voters Of Trim
ity to the main church and chaPeis- Then he
said:
The other side has intimated that this act may
be open to criticism I did not gather what
counsel alleged this criticism 70 be. But by
that charter all authority was vested in the
rector church wardens and vestry. The cases
Of the Peoples Bank against St. Anthonys
church and Ho1t against Thompson are prece-
dents TO show that the stockholders Of re-
ligious corporation have no right in the man
agenent Of the property or AFFAIRS OF the cor
poraton. The vestry. il has been established by
law, can sell without asking consent OF the con
gregatioT- The members have no legal standing
with respect 10 property.
In regard 10 their right 10 vote. Mr.. Zabriskie
said that st Johns people could exercise their
franchise in any church chapel OF Trinity
parish as members Of ST. JQhn's whether the
chapel was closed not, members of any
other chapel
Mr. Zabr:skie said that the canonicaI rights
cited by M Beckett We're irrelevant, adding:
We do not prevent St Johns congregation
from w0rshpping according TO the canons. Nor
does the canon obliging the standing committee
10 apply TO the congregation before selling
ortgaginE the church building apply since
that portion Of the canon is expressly ina ppiica
bic in case the building is unoccupiec.
RIGHTS OF THE COURTS
OF Trinity's right to claim exemption from
the church corporations law, Mr.. Zabrskie said
II is stated in this law that It shan not be
deemed TO apply 20 any church incorporated
under a general special act. II is said by the
other side that the royal letters patent not
a special or general law. ] think they will find
that position difficult TO maintain. But even if
the royal charter were out Of existence and the
act Of 1914 rescinded, this corporation would
find its corporate powers IN the act of 1854,
which is still ia existence.
The act Of I50s repealed, but at the same
time after eighty years Il was found aG-
visa be 20 revoke Trinity's corporate powers
FSIrtherrnore. IL Is beyond the competency OF a
legislature deprive corporation Of rights
granted under a colonial charter and since con-
armed co not think there has ever been
serious effort in any court legislature TO de-
r,rfve q corporation Of its rights under letters

Better Era Dawnins.
Under the recently enacted law CIV
ing the judges of the circuit courts and
the board of state charities more pow
err in lettering conditions in county
jails, Mr. Butler believes that a better
era is dawning for the unfortunates
who are taken to Jail. He believes
better buildings will result and that in
all cases sanitary and proper moral
conditions can be provided. Under
the law. the state board can complain
to the Judge. and ii becomes the duty
of the judge to remedy conditions.
ormerly the board had no power fur
Their than to make recommendations to
the board of county commissioners.
According to reports filed with the
board by sheriffs of the county there
were 1923 prisoners in the jails OF
the county on September 80, reduc-
ton OF 146 from the number in jail. on
the corresponding date last year. OF
these. 363 were awaiting trial. 700
were serving sentences, were
tramps, 81 were insane and were
held for miscellaneous reasons. Sixty
nine per cent of the number were re.
ported from the jails in Ft. Wayne,

dams declares that for the first time
in years over a large section of north
ern Minnesota, the Indians are spend
ing their allotments of money from th<
government for sugar, flour and other
necessities. and the nights are free
from warhoops and settlers sleep
peacefully in their beds. This is the
result of the governments unexpected
action In enforcing an old and almost
forgotten Indian treaty and closing
the saloons in five Minnesota coun-
ties.
A large section of northern Minneso-
IA is covered by the old treaty, under
which the government maintains that
1t has the right of preventing the sale
of intoxicants. In only a portion of
the treaty area are there now any In
dians, but the treaty rights are still

have just received their annuities, and
have spent their money in the stores

there was no drunkenness or disord-
