The obstacles encountered were not
so great as had been predicted.
Four camps we're established during
the ascent and n trail was blazed all
the way to the crest Up to 10000

feet the way led over steep ice

To Rearsue Oil and Tobacco Cases.

To Reargue oil and Tobacco Cases.
Both the oil trust and the tobacco
trust dissolution cases must again be
argued before the supreme court OF
the United States. This announcement
was made by the chief justice.
The reargument Of these cases
comes as the direct result of the death
Of Justice Brewer q few days after
the Standard Oil case had been
argued
AZ Justice Moody was unable TO
participate in the consideration OF
these cases only seven justices were
left TO give n decision.
How the court was divided IN re.
gard to the decision Is still as much a
mystery as before the assignment OF
the cases for reargument
II Is believed. however. that the
court was evenly divided or almost so
and that II probably was loath to give
TO the country n decision which was
not supported by majority Of full
court. Such a majority would be Ave
members.

DISMISS FRANKLIN APPEAL.
Negro Must Die for Murder of Valen-
tine-NO Ruling on Contract
Law.

Washington, May 31.-Pink Frank
lin, the South Carolina negro, whose
conviction for the murder of Special
Constable Valentine led to an attack
on the ~so-called labor contract laws
of the South, will suffer the death
penalty, according to the decision to-
day of the supreme court of the U. -
ed States.
1t was claimed by Franklin that
the constable came to his home at
night and entered without announc-
ing himself as an officer Of the law.
was while in Frank1in's cabin that
Valentine was mortally wounded by
a shot.
Former Attorney General Bona
parte became interested in the case
and after the negro lawyers for the
condemned man had appealed the
case to the supreme court of the
United States, Mr.. Bonaparte filed a
brief in "rankfin's behalf. He con-
tended that Franklin had a right to
resist arrest, which was sought to be
made on a warrant issued under an
unconstitutional law. This law was
the so-called "labor contract law"
which provided that agricultural lab
orers under contract to work were
guilty of misdemeanors if they break
their contracts after receiving wages
in advance. Mr.. Bonaparte denounc-
ed this law as an attempt to reduce
the negroes of the South to captivity.
Justice Day, in announcing the de-
cision, said the court could inquire
only into federal questions. He said
the question Of resistance Of arrest
under an unconstitutional law was
not raised in time in the State court.
Mr.. Bonaparte's. connection with
the case was confined to the filing of
a brief for the defense. Soon after his
brief was filed, the two negro law
yers for Franklin announced that Mr..
Bonaparte was not Of counsel in the
case. Jacob Moorer, one OF Franklin's
lawyers, said that Mr.. Bonaparte had
been employed by rich negroes in
Philadelphia without the knowledge
of the two who had taken the case up
to the supreme court Of the United
States.

A Little Wisdom Here and There.
Smart Set.
You can turn a crank down but he
always turns up.
A woman is eXtolled for her vir-
tues and adored for her weakness.
Half the world doesn't know what
excuse the otherp half has for living.
The man who draws on his imagi-
nation should not overlook to pin
mo protest to his draft.
The world expects a man to make
a fool of himself over a woman, but
it never forgives a woman who makes
a fool of herself over a man.
To know thyself is wisdom; to
know how not to impart that knowl-
edge to others-that's c~leverness.
Marry for money, and you wish
you had married for love; marry for
love and you wish you had married
for money.
You never really know a woman
until after you have married her, and
then the knowledge isn't of much use
to you.
True consistency is a jewel; and
the most charming women display the
least jewelry.
Love in a cottage is romantic, but
no mere woman objects to rose color
ed silk curtains at the windows.
You can't tell a mans character
by his clotheh but you can often
judge a woman's lack of it by hers.
There is but. n thing worse than
ignorance, and that is incorrect
knowledge.

It was rumored that the visit to

Broderick chatted with friends in the

that he never had talked with Holts-
