Until the time of Charles MI. OF
Sweden the artillery was not consid-
cred n part of the army. The men
serving In 1t were not soldiers, bu. re-
garded as mechanics. The officers had
no army rank. Charles MI. gave ar
tillery officers a rank and regularly
organized the artillery into companies.
The battle of Pavia demonstrated the
superiority of the gun In the hands of
the Spanish Infantry. The musket cur
ried two ounce ball and sometimes
brought down at one fire two or three
mailed knights. The French sent a
flag of truce to demonstrate against
the use of such barbarous weapons.
Alexander had four kinds of cavalry
the cataphraeti, or heavy armed
horse; the light cavalry, carrying
spears and very light armor; the aero
balistae, or mounted archers, used for
outposts, patrols and accommodating
duty, and the dimachoe, or troops ex-
pected to act either as cavalry or In
fantry. Alexander the Great reorgan-
lied his fathers army. The file or
lachos of sixteen men was the unit

wise known as a large phalanx.
The Greeks attacked In a phalanx,
the spears interloeked and shields
overlapping. After the first onset the
spears were dropped, and the day was
decided with the sword. The cavalry

PLANS PERMANENT
ELECTION BOOTHS
J. w. ElsMAN WOULD FORM COM,
PANY TO BUILD THEM AND
RENT TO CITY.

John W. Eisman. chief clerk in the
city clerks Office under George r
CASTOR, has offered suggestion "a
the common council in the shape OF
petition that permanent election
Looths erected. He offers to form n
company which shall erect the booths
and rent them To the city at stated
price for each election
His petition states that the booths
would be placed on suitable sites and
be constructed of cement block o.
brick and electric lights. running wa
tel and other conyeniences and To
have not legs than 800 square feet of
floor space and 80 square feet OF table
space. His idea would be that the
ballots should be counted in the
booths.
The booths would not cost more
than $500 10 $1,000 each and would be
n great Improvement over the present
iron ana wood houses" says Eisman.
THE greatest cost would be for sites.
Portable booths are not lasting and
the city has spent about $4,000 for
election houses which are now, for the
most part. dilapidated and OF little use.
IL Is for this reason that money was
recently asked for new booths for a
large number OF districts.
1T costs about sl2 each time a
portable booth Is put up and taken
down now. The rental charge for
booths such as | suggest would be
reasonable"

VOTING OF CASH FOR
TRACTION PROBING
UPHELD BY COURT
JUDGE MURPHY RULES THAT Elk.
PENDiTURE is PROPER ONE
AND REFUSES INJUNCTION
ASkE DeY N. J. MAcoUlRE.

Mayor Breitmeyer may dole out the
$1,000 voted by the council To defray
the expenses OF the committee or 90.
Judge Murphy decided 30 shortly be-
fore noon. Tuesday. after listening TO
the argument OF counsel for two hours.
II was held that the appropriation was
entirely legal, and that the mayor may
do as he pleases with the money. as
long as IL is spent IN the investigation
OF the street railway situation.
Application for an injunction to re-
strain the city officials from using tho
money was made by Attorneys Bishop
a. Sullivan, acting for Matthew j. Mac.
guire. a member OF the Federation OF
Labor, Mr. Sullivan tried hard to
have Mayor Breitmeyer and promi-
nent members Of the committee or 80
summoned 10 court TO give evidence
Us 10 the facts In the case. but Cor
poralion Counsel Hally conceded all
questions of fact. Slill Mr.. Sullivan
insisted on taking evidence To deter
inc what the term street railway
question" meant.
The question answers itselfC
Judge Murphy said. 1t is understood
by everybody 10 mean what substitute
shall be provided for our present street
railway system when The present fran
chlses expire in November 1909 II
must be clear TO all that the street
car system needs investigation. Ii Is
lamentable fact that the question
was not gone into scientifically and
consecutively 20 years ago The only
question before he court Is, is the
80 Of In Saa ion
legal one, and will the money he paid
ont through the usual channels as
provided in the charter?
Mr. Sullivan argued that the appro.
prlation of the money from the con
tingent fund was illegal. as no con.
tingency had arisen. He also claimed
that the committee of so had no lega.
standing and should not be recognized
by the court. that II could not compel
the giving OF evidence by railway Of
fcials or anyone else. He claimed
THAI the investigation should be done
by the council
Mr.. Hally pointed out the good done
by other Investigations, and cited the
gas and electric light questions as in
stances where the city benefited great
" by such procedure. He claimed
the money should come from the con
tingent fund as a contingency had
arisen. lie said the change In admin
istration and Mr. Breitmeyer's deter
mination to take this method OF inves-
tigation could not he foreseen by the
board Of estimates last March. and
the contingency fund was provided
for just such unforeseen circumstances
as had arisen.
