preme court today held that the city
council of Seattle, under the charter,
has the exclusive right to license sa-
looms, which means that the regulation
or limitation of saloon license does not
fall within the initiative and referen-
dunn provisions Of the charter The
decision was in the case of John Har
tig, who brought suit against the city
authorities because he was denied a
that the initiative and referendum
barred him.
Il have not sSen the courts deci-
sion," said Corporation Counsel Scott
Calhoun, yesterday, but it may mean
cannot be applied to any ordinance
made by the city. This is the second
made by Washington courts The
other was in relation to the case of
OChiiSIl No. Illc EcStlic EINClIiC
pany. He secured signatures to an
initiative petition requiring the mat
ter of extending the Alki Point car
line to be submitted to the vote of
the people, and lost his case.
THE courts decision may be based
on one of two Washington statutes.
One declares that the corporate officers
of city only have the right to enact
legislation. The court, therefore, may
hold that by applying the initiative
and referendum, the people of the city
are enacting legislation. Hence the, city
ordinance is invalid and all other at
tempts to apply the initiative and re-
ferendum Ito Seattle ordinances are
also invalid
Il presume that the decision is
based on a statute passed in territorial
days, which gives the corporate officers
of a city the exclusive right to con-
troll the liquor traffic Therefore, any
city ordinance which presumes to al
low the people to settle the granting of
liquor licenses by popular vote is il
legal"

VICKSBURG, Miss, June limit
ed Confederate Veterans from all Parts
Of the southern states arrived here to-
day from Memphis, where the annual
reunion has been in progress this week
and participated in the ceremonies
marking the unwilling of the statue
to the late Lieutenant General Steph-
en- D. Lee The statue is Of heroic SIZE
with a huge base of red granite, and
occupies prominent site in the Ma
tionai park, near the position which
General Lee held while commanding a
brigade during the siege of Vicksburg
General Lee was for several yeaJs
prior to his death the commander-in-
chief of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, and the funds for the erection of
the monument to his memory were
largely raised by members of that or
der Several posts of the Grand Army
of the Republic contributed to the fund,
however, as a mark of the esteem in
which General Lee was held by the
soldiers of the north. General Lee was
one of the park commissioners Of the
Vkksburg National park, and many OF
its beautiful attractions are due to
his Initiative

PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-The
best woman rider today is from Phila-
delphia. This is the opinion of the
Hunt" set in that county, who have
recently marveled at the splendid
Workmanship of Mrs. Robert E. Straw
bridge, who has been riding with the
fashionable Melton Hunt, Leicester
shire, for several weeks past. Mrs.
and Mr.. Strawbridge went to England
in October, taking with them a dozen
of the best hunters from their Bryn
Mayr stables and since. then MRS.
Strawbridge frequently visits LONDON
where they have apartments at the
Ritz, but they seem to prefer the hunt
ing at the Melton to any of the London
and spend most OF
their time at their beautiful lodge.
