Mr. Hastings pointed out that there
is tribunal mentioned in the law to
which an appeal can be taken to de-
termine questions Of law and fact and
the Boards jurisdiction could be ques-
toned at any time, as he understood
it.
IF / represented the Traction Com
pany l should know how 10 make a

Mr.. Hastings said he was en-
deavoring to do his duty as legal ad-
wiser. of the Board as he sees it, and
he would continue to advise the Board
in a manner that would be fair to all.
Need Rule on Appeals.
Mr. Ward pointed out that the Board
had adopted no rules as TO how an
appeal should be taken from its rul-
ing, as he thought the law required.
The company desired to make an APP
peal, he said. and he thought the
court at the September term would
prescribe rules for hearing such APP
peals. In the absence of rules Mr..
Ward thought the Board might make
any order II should issue to take ef-
feet of certain later date so as not TO
bear too heavily on the company.
Mr. Hastings thought the absence OF
rules would not interfere in any way
with the taking of an appeal, as an
appeal can be taken any time within
thirty days after the order is issued
upon a public utility Mr.. Hastings
pointed out that a penalty of 800 a
day is provided for each day the pub
lie utility company disobeys an order
of the Utility Board
Mr. Ward pointed out that there are
no rules of the Board as to how an
appeal shall be taken, and meanwhile
the Traction Company, however inno-
cent, might have to pay the penalty.
Mr. Hastings pointed out that the
company agreed to furnish informa-
tion as to how many years strip tickets
had been sold. He said he desired this
to go into the record Mr.. Ward and
Mr.. Crosby said they were not sure
but il was decided TO admit that tickets
had been sold for upwards of ten
years"
President Taylor then announced
that there would be no further public
discussion, but the Board would e
into executive session, give the sub
ject most careful consideration ant
announce its decision.

SUN SMILES
AFTER STORM
lcontinued from FIrst Pagel


men on this steam and the Chris
tiana were discussing the storm IN
groups today What appeared TO be
q baromonter as to the volumes Of
water coming down the streams was
the fact, that irrespective OF the fall
ing tide, the waters yesterday after
noon raised FIVE feet above normal
high tide.
This was remarkable and some idea
OF the force behind Il was felt by the
masters Of the river boats. When en-
tering the Christiana river the rush
Ing torrents swept their vessels to-
wards the opposite shore. This was
noticeable opposite the mouth of the
Brandywine and considerable trouble
was experienced by tugboats in not
being carried up on the banks op-
posite the jetty.
Conditions beyond Eleventh street
bridge were bad for awhile yesterday
afternoon, and when the employees of
the Chicago Electric Hose Works, In
East Twelfth street, started for home
last evening It was necessary to pro-
cure row boat from the Brandywine
creek to carry them to the mainland.
The stables OF the company we're
flooded and the horses were standing
IN deep water. They were removed
to other quarters last evening.
The water reached the top of the
pews in the colored mission in the
same street and many houses in that
section had their first floors submerg-
ed by the flood.
The rising water along the marshes
has started to recede In the mean

PUNCHERS TO

Spokane Wash, Aug. 21.-Sports-
men and former cowboys from va
rious parts of eastern Washington
and central Idaho, including Edward
Beck and Ray Hester, formerly of
the Bank of Commerce, and Roy
Hoagland of Lewiston, Idaho, have
gone to Jackson's Hole, Wyo., to as
sist the state game wardens, United
States cavalry soldiers and ranchers
in rounding up between $4,000 and
10000 elk and driving them to less
settled territory. Old Timers in Spo-
kane say a roundup is a difficult
task at this time of the year, but the
game wardens think this is the only
way to save the bands from being ex-
terminated, as the restriction of the
open range has resulted in the loss
of fully 5000 animals year by star
vation, despite the fact that fodder
has been provided by ranchers in the
district and the Legislature of the
state of Wyoming. This is the first
attempt at an organized roundup of

SPOKANE JUDGE DECIDES
TO LIVE TO AGE OF 120

Spokane, Wash.-Judge E. H. Sui
livan, dean of the Spokane county
superior court and exponent of the
theory of violent muscular exercise as
check against the ravages of old
age, declared at a meeting of the
county bench and bar that he has
solved the problem of how to grow
young after passing the so-called
prime-of-life period. Four years ago
when he started to develop his plan.
he fixed his age limit at 100 years.
Now he says he shall live 20 years
longer, or 120 years. Judge Sullivan
is 61 years of age, but few men of
% possess his activity and stamina.
His body, arms and legs are as strong
and supple as one would look for
to an athlete in condition. One of
his favorite feats is to touch the
floor with his elbows without bend
ing the knees. He pounds his body
with bare hands several times day.
exercises care in food, sleeps eight
hours at night and does nothing to
controvert the laws of nature. He
adduces evidence from his superior
physical condition, his youthfulness
and suppleness of muscle to substan-
tiate the reasonableness of his the
ories, which he will gladly pass on to
anyone.
