COURTS IN CLASH
WITH CONGRESS
Question of Jurisdiction to Be
Settled by District Supreme
Tribunal
Three United States Senators
in Danger of Being Adj
judged in Contempt

WASHINGTON, Feb. .25.-The great
question of the authority of one branch
of the government over another was
argued today in the supreme court of
the district of Columbia with preoe-
dents dating from the days of Chief
Justice Marshall.
The mere mandamus proceedings of
the Valley paper company of Holyoke,
Mass, against the joint congressional
committee on printing evolved into a
contest of authority between the courts
and congress. and the foundation
were laid in a case as historic as any
in the annals of the judiciary.
Whether the printing committee can
be compelled by court to rescind its
action on purchases of paper for the
public printing and take into consider
alton the bid of the Valley paper COM
pany is the immediate question.
Whether congress and it's members, in
their official capacity and clothed with
constitutional immunity, are amenable
to the law will be the ultimate one,
counsel on each side is ready to admit.
Today senator's of the printing COM
mittee continued in their attitude to
ignore the summons of the court on the
ground that it was without jurisdic-
tion. They were not present or rep
resented by counsel. They are Sena-
tors Root Of New York, Smoot of Utah
and Fletcher of Florida. The m~m-
bers of the committee from the house,
however, Allen f. Cooper of Pennsyl-
vania, George c. Sturgiss of West Vir-
ginia and David E. Finley of South
Carolina. occupied seats in the front
row of the spectators and were repre-
sented collectively and individually by
battalion of counsel.
The department of justice was rep
resented for the first time to contest
the Jurisdiction of the court.
This presents a situation entirely
new in American jurisprudence, with
the possibility of the three United
States senators being adjudged in con-
tempt of court and with the possibility
Of a supreme court justice being ac-
CdSed by congress.

WIFE OF BROKER
GIVEN FINAL DECREE
Mrs. Susan D. Paxton, RanlOr
Says, Will Become Bride of
Millionaire w. ii. Talbot
Friends of the Two Expect That
Wedding Will Be Early
Announced

The last link binding Mrs. Susan D.
Paxton, one of the beauties of the city,
to Charles E. Paxton, stock broker
and businessman of note was snapped
by Judge Graham yesterday when he
signed her final decree of divorce, and
now it is generally reported that be-
fore long she will become the wife
of William H. Talbot. millionaire lum-
herman.
Mrs. Paxton refused to discuss the
common rumor regarding her engage
ment to Talbot.
If any statement is desired as to
the truth of the report" she said, sit
Will have to come from Mr.. Talbot.
will not talk about it," Following
her divorce Mrs. Paxton went to the
home of her parents, Mr.. and and Mrs.
Henry Darneal. Though she refused
to give out any definite statement re-
garding her next matrimonial step for
publication her friends stated that her
marriage to Talbot would take place
soon. Such has been COMMON rumor
for many months past, but it was not
until Mrs. Paxton walked away from
Judge Grahams court clothed in the
garments of single blessedness that
she freely admitted her approaching
nuptials TO the millionaire.
Talbot was divorced by his wife in
February of 1908. The suit was one of
the sensational trials of the year, both
sides making allegations of a startling
character. The case was fought out in
Judge Seawell's court and was compro-
missed at the last moment, after all the
private affairs of the family had been
aired.
With Talbot free from his wife and
Mrs. Paxton no longer bound to her
Hege lord the two drew together. 1t
may have been mutual sympathy for
each other, but whatever the cause
they made no secret of the close rela-
tionship existing between them. They
were out together at numerous times,
lined together in public and motored
the countryside together.
Talbot denied the prospective mar
riage. declaring that no such step was
intended. But despite his denials his
friends believe that in a few weeks he
and Mrs. Paxton will be married.

The race question-uncolored
been recently the subject of some in
teresting observations wonder if it
would be disrespectful to call them
ruminations-by Gertrude Franklin
Atherton on the one hand and Lieuten-
ant Colonel Charles Woodruff, U. S. A.,
on the other.
Mrs. Atherton has said, openly and
unashamedly. that she thinks English
men make better lovers and even hus-
bands than do American men because
they take more pains to display the
subtleties of affection and thus retain
the love of their sweethearts and
wives.
1t is possible that the solution of
this is to be found in Colonel Wood
ruff's new book, Expansion of Race"
when he says of American men: Man,
being the struggling, fighting bread
winner, has been compelled to be selfish
in the interests of his family against
other families and emotion has had
little place. By natural selection this
has survived as the male brain
If all these things be really true, it
would seem that the man has been
the luXuries of life for his family to
bestow suficiency of kind words on
his wife.
HOW THE ISSUE ARISES
1t has been a question in his mind
apparently, as to whether she would
rather have him spend an afternoon
consummating a business deal that
would insure her another limousine
or its equivalent, according to taste
or whether she would prefer that those
golden hours be occupied in making
himself actually and personally fasci
mating and entertaining to her. In
most instances he has decided in favor
of the Limousine day.
But has that been because he finds
business more amusing than making
love TO his wife. or is it the result of
conditions and force of habit?
There are wheels within wheels in
the matter. OF the women interviewed
on the subject none seemed inclined
TO delve deeply into il. They said
Loyalty that they preferred what they
had or else they declined to theoriZe.
AGREE WITH COLONEL
Colonel Woodruff, questioned also
whether women are capable of con-
Quoting corporations or organizations
of any kind successfully because of
their excess of emotional and illogical
characteristics, mentioned the Womans
Christian Temperance union as an ex
ample of a good. thing failing to at
tain its object through lack of a mas
culine brain to direct it.
There are many women throughout
the land who will rise and not call
him blessed, but Lucia Chamberlain,
whose clever books have proved her
brain a keen and thoughtful member,
is not one of those inclined to take
issue with him.
AS to the qualities Of English and
American husbands, Miss Chamberlain
declared that, not having had either
she knows nothing about them.
THINKS THEM UNREASoNING
ct think women very seldom have
practical, reasoning brains" she said
"They are not phlegmatic enough to
make very much of a success of unions
or corporations of any kind. This lack
of reason was proved in the matter Of
the canteen law. It was all very fine
not to have any canteen, of course, but
they did not think further. They did
not realize that the men would go out
side to get what they wanted and that

Special excursion trains will be run
over the G. & N. w. Ry. by the G.. NJ.

Preston. Fair visitors from points on
the Milwaukee road can take the ex-
cursion trains at their own home
towns and still sit in the same car
until 1t stops at the Fair station on
the State Fair Grounds. and one fare
pays for the round trip.

run two special trains daily to VOL
sey during the Fair, connecting with
the regular passenger trains on the

Arrangements are being perfected
with the South Dakota Central for
special trains from Sioux Falls and
from Watertown connecting with the
North Western special at Arlington,
both coming to the fair and returning.
The G. M. & st. Paul road will run
excursion trains as follows: Sept. 10
Canton to Huron and return, via
Mitchell and Wolsey, with a special
from Chamberlain connecting at
Mitchell Sept. Is the same train with
connecting excursion from Yankton.
All tickets sold for this occasion
within the state will be good return
ing on any special Or regular train
during the fair and up to Sept. goth.
This is the most convenient and
cheapest transportation arrange
ment ever made for any fair in the
states history.
A platform 800 feet long is being
built at the Fair grounds SO that
passengers can step of the train at
the entrance Of the Fair grounds.
There is now being rapidly pushed
to completion the best and most COM
plete system Of dining halls to be
found at any fair in the North West.

capacity for serving 5000 meals a
day. In addition to these there are
many other smaller restaurants and
lunch stands that will be provided,
thereby furniShing plenty to eat at
reasonable prices.

DIED FROM ANTHRAX
GIVEN BY CATTLE
WILLIAM KIRK STRIPPED HIDE
FROM CATTLE THAT DIED
FROM ANTHRAX AND
TOOK DISEASE.

Sioux Falls, s. D.-William Kirk,
ST., who was brought to this city a
few days ago for treatment for an
thrax, contracted while skinning cat
tie on the farm of a neighbor, died
about $3.50 Wednesday evening.
The death of Mr.. Kirk is the end
of a very sad story.
On the Benacker farm which adj
joins that of Mr.. Kirk anthrax de-
veloped. MI. Kirk as a friendly act
went over to the Benacker farm and
took the lead in skinning four crit
tiers which had died from a disease
which at that time had not been de-
termined.
A few days afterwards Mr.. Kirk
and his son were both taken sick. This
called attention to the trouble in the
herd of MI. Benacker and brought a
visit from the deputy state veterinary,
He diagnosed the trouble as anthrax.
He also quarantined the county and
brought MI. Kirk and his son to the
city for treatment.
Everything possible was done to
save the lives of the patients but In
the elder Kirk there were serious
symptoms from the very outset.
Notwithstanding all efforts on the
parts Of the attending physicians the
elder Kirk grew gradually worse UNI
til about $3.50 Wednesday afternoon
when he passed away.
