UNITED Press Leased Wire Service j
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-The
commission form of government act
was today declared constitutional In
a decision handed down by the Hi
nois supreme court. This decision
directly affects ten cities that have
adopted the commission form: Spring
field, Moline. Rock Island, Carbonate
Rochelle, Decatur, Dixon, Elgin, Ke-
vance, Jacksonville, Braceville, Pekin,
Hillsbcro, Spring Valley, vaughan,
Clinton and Hamilton.
AS regards the legality of the man
ner in which the bill was passed, the
court holds that where the intention
of the legislature is expressed by a
yea and nay vote on any measure, the
bill must stand
AS to the contention that the bill
was invalid because it failed 20 allow
the voters to vote for as many candi-
dates as were to be nominated and
also the referendum, the court holds
that these are merely the regulations
of minor political division and in
no way conflicts with either the fed
eral or state constitutions.
The court also holds that it Is not
necessary to have bills printed before
they should be placed upon their pas
sage as the rules Of the general as
sembly provide.
County Treasurer Edmunds must
stand the costs of the case, the court
holds, and the decision of Judge
Creighton, of the Sangamon count.
circuit court, in this regard is sus
tanned on the ground that Edmunds
acted as an Individual in the matte!
of refusing payment of the funds
which he held and which were claimed
by the city of Springfield.

A H0RRlFYING SPECTACLE
seamen See Shark Eat Body Of
Drowned Sailor in Pensacola Bay.

Pensacola. Nov. ia spectacle,
which will be burned into their
memories for the remainder of their
lives. was witnessed by about fifty
baymen and the crew Of the British
steamer Aldersgate. when after
searching fruitlessly for J. Antoine,
an aged seaman. they saw an i'm
mense shark swim slowly out from
beneath the steamer and q barge of
lumber with the dead body Of the sea-
man In Its jaws. The shark had
clamped the body about the stomach,
with the head and arms protruding
from one side and the legs from the
other. It then sank beneath the sur
face. but arose . moment later, with
the position Of the body changed. for
then the shark was attempting to
swallow the body feet first. and had
the water. Again the monster dived
and Tor q full minute there was not
. ripple on the water. 1t finally
came to the surface again and all
that remained Of poor Antoine that
was showing was above the waist
line. So paralyzed were the seamen
that they could not move and all
stood as II glued to the spot and
made no move to shoot the shark.
The monster finally sank beneath the
water, and in few moments there
were a number of large sharks visible
about the ship. evidently smelling
the blood and flesh. Those who saw
the shark say it was of the Ham,
merhead variety and at least fifteen
feet in length.
