KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12.-Congress
is as much to blame as the stingy COW
in sending butter to the highest point
since 1888, according to the commits

explained by the statement that bill
has been introduced in congress to
limit the time that butter might be
kept in cold storage to 80 days, and
while pending the dealers are afraid to
put their butter into cold storage.

/ ty to give it such circulation as he
may see fit. IT,
Il did not know till yesterday that
MIR. Ray had been selected by the bar
OF Rchland to preside over the court
or that his appointment had been rec
commended by the supreme court.
Personally, it does not matter TO
me whether I hold that court or not.
I do not need pec'lniary profit from
that source, or from any other source
and as a matter of fact, with my way
OF living, I should not expect to gain a
dollar beyond my expenditure. And
I have written Chief Justice Jones, eI
have passed beyond that period of life
when a man need care for glory"
Il do not deem it proper for me to
discuss the legal aspect of the case
I think it still less proper for me to
say one word about the personal-oc-
partly personal-controversy between
the chief executive and the supreme
court.
THE crux of the case-the point on
which the matter hinges-is, to me,
the wish of the Richland bar. Without
their cooperation I could do nothing.
They might continue every case. Or,
it I should undertake to try case, i
and all other persons must feel uncer-
tain what I could decide. The pro-
test "c~ram non judice," might be
raised at amy moment, from the be-
ginning to the end of amy trial in the
circuit court, and in the supreme
court And I will never consent to
hazard the rights of litigants by my
doubt tful claim to Office.
Governor Blease may have been
to act, and not entirely
courteous towards the supreme court;
put it is not for me to censure nay
riend who sought to do me honor, and
Who, T am sure, thinks that he is exer-
Using authority given him by the con-
titution and the statute law Of. the
state. Nor have I anything to say
gainst~ the justices of the supreme
ourt. I have no doubt that they have
one just what they thought they
ught to have done.
II conclude, that the matter really
ests with the Columbia bar. T am
anguine that their wishes, expressed
,day or tomorrow, will determine the
esult; for I feel confident that both
le governor and the supreme court
Ill be anxious to assist them in the
sposal of the many and important
terests committed to the, manage
ent of counsel" ...

Major CaIdWell's Statement,

"Governor Blease called me by tele
phone about noon On Wednesday, tn
1st instant and, on my answering, in
quired if T would consent to hold tn
term Of the court of common pleas TO
Richland county, to begin on Monday
the 9Th instant. replied that I wa
willing to hold that court, but adde,
that I would not do so unless the ap
pointment was acceptable to the loca
bar. To this he returned that it waE
all right-or to that effect; and aftel
saying some words, by way of kindly
{ thought of me, he ceased to speak. His
manner indicated to my mind that he
wished only to ask if it would suit me
to hold the court I was left to con-
lecture, whether the bar of Richland
desired me, or whether they desired
some other person. I had no means
of knowing whether that bar had TAX
en- any acton, or whether the justices
of the supreme court had made a rec
ommendatiOn to appoint some one to
hold the court, or whether, if that
court had applied to him to make an
appointment, it had recommended any
particular person for the appointment
f'I wrote Goyerno Blease, very soon,
letter, saying that I was willing to
hold the court, provided, either that
the bar of RichlaGld desired me, or
that they had made no other choice.
I was surprised to see in the Record,
that evening, that T had been appoint
ed to hold that term of court And I
have been more surprised to read, in
the newspapers, that I have been COM
to preside in that court.
Governor Blease is Inaccurate in say
ing that I have been commissioned.
The secretary of state sent me, by
ilicII4 CIV 'SO 441O4 kills, CA1C
2nd, a communication to the effect that
I had been appointed, and that on my
sending to him (the secretary of State)
The oath ON the back of his communi-
cation, made according to law and in
proper form, I should receive my
commission.
II have not made the oath required,
Ind I have not received a co1nmis-
ion.
"a few minutes after hearing Gov
rnor Blease over lne telephone, I
