KING WILL FORECLOSE
ON OCEAN SHORE BONDS
Granted Permission to Begin
PROCEEDINGS

Homer :. King was granted permis-
sion yesterday in the United States
circuit court by Judge Morrow to begin
foreclosure proceedings on certain per
cent bonds of the Ocean Shore railroad
company which that company left with
him as security for his having guaran-
teed the payment of a note for $4,000
to the Mercantile trust company. A
petition asking that permission be
given him to sue the receiver of the
Ocean Shore company, Frederick S.
Stratton. for $4,000 principal and
$S5222 interest which he has been
compelled to pay the Mercantile trust
company, was filed yesterday morning
by King, through his attorney, James
NJ. Allen, and as the suit is apparently
but a formality the receiver approved
the action and Judge Morrow complied
with the petition.

BIG AVIATION
MEET OPENS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BELMONT PARK, N. Y, Oct.
22.-With 27 of the worlds best
birdmen competing, the second in
ternat!onal aviation meet started
at Belmont park today. For the
next nine days aviators from all
over the world, nearly every one
of them a worlds. record holder,
will vie with each other for a
share of $4,000 in cash prizes.
1t Is expected that almost every
existing aviation record will be
broken.
1t rained heavily through the
forenoon and prospects for official
flights were not encouraging. The
aviators were sorely disappointed
as theSwind conditions were ideal.
In addition to the amount sub
scribed, the ayiators will receive
70 per cent of the first 100000
profits of the promoters and 40
per cent of the second 100000.
The aviation field began filling
with birds, machdnes and ex-
cited spectators early today and
when the aviators began tuning up
their aeroplanes for the initial
flights shortly after moon, one
of the largest crowds in the his
tory of aviation swarmed about
the course.
The first accident of the meet
fell to the lot of Aviator Tod
Schriver, who fell fifty feet with
his Dietz bplane, wrecked the
machine but not seriously injuring
the aviator.
The principal event of the
meet will be the international
race next Saturday in which three
entrants from each nation will fly
over a court 81 lilo miles long.
The American team will be chosen
by means of q series of elfmina-
tion contests. The representatives
of other nations already have been
chosen. Another feature of the
meet will be the Ryan contest for
a prize of $4,000. The rules of
this event provide that an aviator
must fly from the aviation field to
the statue of liberty and return
within one hour without alight-
ing.
A prize of $1,000 has been Of

to kill his wife, and that she

indulge an illicit passion.
May Appeal.
Crippen was removed from the
prisoners dock and taken to one
of the CONDEMNED cells" in Brix-
ton prison. He will be permitted
to appeal to the criminal court of
appeals On the ground of facts or
law, but there is little chance that
the appeal will avail to save
him.
Failing this the home secretary
can order the court of appeals to
rehear the case. The court of ap-
peals can affirm the sentence, re-
verse the verdict or order a new
trial. If the lower court is up
held, which is regarded as most
probable, Crippen's only chance
is the royal clemency which is
only exercised upon the recom-
mendation of the home secretary.

IL was learned that the verdict
of guilty was reached by the jury

HOW WILL
NJ 'kENz|E
EXPLAIN?

Was the census report of Spe-
cial Agent Mckenzie on Tacoma
straight?
Or did he purposely give this
city the worst of it because dis
appointed personally here?
The Tacoma committee, con-
sisting of Judge Stiles, Allan c..
Mason. T. E. Ripley and William
Jones, left for Washington last
night. They carried with them
affidavits from a number of enum-
orators of the census in the dis
tricts that are under dispute in
which the enumerators declared
Mckenzie had told them after
checking their work that it was
all right.
If Mckenzie told the census
takers their work was all right
and then reported to the census
department that $4,000 names
should be Topped off, why?
There are some queer things
cropping up about Mckenzie.
He spent considerab BILE time here
at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms and seemed to be rather a
gay chap.
Just why he should have spent
so much time at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms smoking expen-
sive bands of ctgarets in order to
check the census may not appear.
Mckenzie also complained to
of the chamber who

The influence of this system
over the sections of the court has
been stronger at some periods in
the courts history than at others,
but it has never been entirely alb
sent. Incidents and accidents of
politics have weakened or have
strengthened it, but it has never
been eradicated.
Considered in the light of the
influence of this system upon it's
actions the history of the court
falls naturally into four periods,
the formative period, the Gordon
period, the period of the restora-
tion and the Root period.
The first of these is the period
from the establishment of the
court upon the admission of the
state until the elevation to the
bench in 1895 of Judge M. j. Cor
don. During this period the court
was characterized chiefly for it's
lack of courage and decision. The
elevation to the bench of Judge
Gordon and the character of the
courts decisions during the Cor
don period, tended to silence the
criticism that the court was lack
ing in decision, and the Gordon
period was one of strongly un-
democratic and pro-corpOration
tendencies.
The end of the Gordon period
marked a slight break in the in
