ing proceeding and while it is dignfed 1t strikes
some people also as being awfully luhnS.
Every Monday, soon as court asseiAoes.
is the custom to read decisions on cases when
have been considered and on which the court
is TO pass Judgment II the decision OF great
is expected the courtroom always is CROWDED
and the members of the bar, newspaper men ana
others who have been present before on IKE
occasions, look anxiously to see which judge is
to read the important decision If any one OF
three or four justices Is to read II there is dis
tinct of disappointment because nobody
except the reading judge is likely to hear the
decision. In other words some of the Judges OF
the supreme court have such weak voices that
not even the men closest to them can catch what
they say and everybody must wait until the deci-
sion can be read before knowing what It means.
This inability perhaps lack of desire on the
part of of the justices to read out loud. is
great trial to the newspaper correspondents who
anxious to telegraph the news of the decision
at the earliest moment possible, There are other
troubles which beset the correspondents as well
those which come from the poor enuncaton
and the weak voices of some of the justices.
Legal language is the hardest kind of language
for the layman TO understand, and the result Is
that when the decision is read the first part OF
occasionally makes 1t seem certain that one side
has won the case while the tail end of the deci-
sion may reverse everything and give the case
to the other side.
There one striking instance of this in
great case which was decided three years ago
The city of Chicago trying to effect changes
in its street-car system. The streetcar compa-
MES held that their franchise was good for 100
years and that the city could not GUST them from
any of their privileges under their franchise The
case went to the Supreme court and was of ire
mendous interest TO all the cities in the United
States. Moreover, the speculative interests of
the country were awaiting the decision with the
keenest anxiety and interest for if it went one
way II meant that certain stocks still would be
of great value, and If it went the other way II
means that they would be worth little
The decision was read In the Supreme court
by a judge who had good voice Everybody
had made up his mind that II the Supreme court
decided that the railroad companies had a hun.
dred years franchise they had won the case aud
that the city had lost. This regarded as the
crucial feature of the W hole controversy.
The newspaper correspondents from the great
cities were in attendance at the court when the
decision was read and they were ready to
dispatch messengers instantly to the telegraph
Office with a brief dispatch saving either The
companies win" The city wins" This was
all that was TO be sent out at the first instance
for the situation was understood in every news
paper office in the country and a single tip as to
which side would be sufficient to release
long stories OF the railroad controversy and other
stories ady written of what the victory meant

CANNOT BRING HIS HAREM
Ruler OF Slam Would Be Welcomed In
This Country, but His Wives
Are Barred.

Announcement that his majesty,
King Chulalongkorn of Siam, is
planning visit to the United States
already has caused much interesting
discussion because the king has 40
wives, and he means to bring them
along. Just whether he will be per-
mitted to enter the United States with
his harem is an interesting question.
Various princes have started for this
country with several of their wives,
and at all times have been informed
that only one wife would be permitted
in this country. No king, however,
ever has made visit under such cir
cumstances, and undoubtedly Presi-
dent Taft will have a delicate diplo-
matte task before him in deciding the
question. The king, however, means
to stop in Honolulu, it is said and
perhaps the question will be adjusted
there. In Hawaii there is a special
law against polygamy, and the United
States attorney of Honolulu says he
means to follow the law If the king
lands in Honolulu
