STATE Debt CASE
WILL BE REOPE nED
stitutionality OF the initiative and ref
erendum law.
CONTINUED From First PageD

stitutionaiity of the Initiative and ref
erendum law.
Among the most important cases on
the docket are several that were held
over from last term. Included in the
list are the cases involving the va
lidity OF the Indictment of Charles r.
Munday and others, growing out OF
the so-called Stracey Coal Land claims
in Alaska, and of the Indictment 81
James a. Patten and others on charges
Of violating the Sherman antitrust law
in "cornerlnE" the cotton market. The
review of the trial Of Frederick u.
Hyde and others on charges of land
frauds on the Pacific coast will con-
stitute still another important case.
The court will also hear arguments IN
the Oklahoma land fraud cases, which
are four III number and are typical
of sol suits brought by the government
TO invaiidate $4,000 or moro convey
ances by Indians of titles to real es-
tate, which the government claims
were fraudulent conveyances.
Labor has one important case from
Louisiana in which an employer Is
Icing prosecuted for permitting q la
borer to work more than eight hours
in one day. Also of impor lance to the
labor world is the case brought to test
the constitutionality of the Federal en-
ployers' liability act of 1908.
The court has been asked to inter
pref a treaty between the United States
and Italy. The case in question in
wolves the right OF an Italian consul
to take charge of the estate of an
italian subject. who died in this coun-
try. contrary to local laws.
Not the least of the problems be-
fore the Supreme Court Is the neces-
sity OF relieving the congestion which
threatens to clog the administration
OF justice II measures are not taken
hy Congress for its relief. AS before
stated. there are now more than 700
cases on the docket for the term. The
average number of cases that can be
decided by the court in year is about
100. and this Is somewhat high. 1t
is apparent. therefore. that the court
Is two years behind In It's work and
inevitably will fall back still further
if its labors are not lightened.
But of all this long list OF cases
which will be heard none Is of as
greut local interest as the Virginia debt
case. AttorneyGeneral Williams will
be on hand to ask that the matter be
advanced for early hearing and that
West Virginia be made to pay her just
obligations. p. II. MEG.

NINE. CURE MAY
Be ACADEMICIAk
Likely to Fill the Vacancy
Caused by Louis Troost.
the Chemist.

Paris, October S.-There seems
great probability that Nine. Curie win
soon be member OF the French Acad-
envy OF Sciences, filling vacancy lcft
by the recent death of the celebrate
chemist. Louis Joseph Troost,
y year ago. when Nine, Curie offered
herself as candidate and was defeated,
most OF the opposition she encountered
was due. 1T is said. to the fact that
the vacancy that she desired to MI
was in the section Of general science,
and the majority OF the academicians
considered 1t more hitting that she
should walt for a place in the chem
istry section,
1t is not yet known whether Mms-
Curio intends to put herself forward
again. as she is now In Leyden where
she is absorbed In her experiments In
radio-activity at the lowest obtaineble
temperatures Although the position
Is one which Is greatly coveted by
scientists, 1t Is possible that she viii!
be unwilling to be a candidate again
after her rejection last year. Her
friends in Paris, however, are working
hard to obtain this honor for hsr, and
many so so far as to say that her
epoch making discoveries IN chemistry
entitIe her to be proposed for tho
Nobel prize this year.
Her only probable rival candidates
for the Academy OF Sciences are Achlllo
Lebel. tine inventor OF sterco-cheu1is-
try: Jean Perrin. the Sorbonne profes-
sor. and Charles Moreau. All of them
are already members of the Academy
of Medicine.

BAD CROPS LAID

Pottsville, Pa. October $50 much
agitated are persons of Lower Schuyl-
XIII county that IT is now a common
saying that this section of the State IS
"verheXed" or more o. less under the
spell said TO influence the fortunes of
the late Howard Thomas, OF Tumbltne
Run Valley
Since Miss Mary Isabella Thomas
made charges that her father died un-
der spell several weeks ago. many
farmers have been complaining of
hard luck. Crops which have not been
successful have been referred to as
"verhexed." or bewitched, and not a
few have even looked for the presence
of an evil ''hexameter" hyac4 cat or
other uncanny visitors about their
premises.
In the towns where people deride
the strange tales told of happenings
on the Thomas farm, the "hex" cat is
veritable byword. on Monday night
the Amphion Social Club. OF this place,
proposes holding hex" cat dance.
The committee will decorate the hall
In the most uncanny manner possible.
while black Thomas cats will be placed
in the coy corners.
Strange to say. the alleged original
hex" cat. captured on the Thomas
farm. at Tumblins Run. by Charles
i'awless. OF Pottsville, has disappeared.
but how 1t got away Is mystery.
After Lawless got the cat from a
hollow tree. he took 1t to a store on
Market street. where II was viewed
In the big show windows by thou
sands. a cash reward was offered
to any one who would kill the ca.
using gold bullet and an old gun,
but none had the courage to take up
the offer.
The cat was carefully guarded. but
disappeared yesterday. Two Of the
Stats of the cage. had been removed.
but who did this has not been dis
covered.
Many are of the BELIEF that the .hex,"
or evil spirit. had something to do with
letting the cat held BY many mystic
and scriptural charms. for a time get
away.
