TO the superior court under $500 bonds

after the woman. He stabbed her with
this in the arm, the point OF the fork

Mrs. Comiskey often complained to
her husband OF severe pains in her
body, which were caused from the eff
fects of a serious operation that she
underwent about a year ago. Whether
this was one of the causes for her sui
eide or whether 1t was something else
is not known. as she left nothing to
tell why she had committed the rash
act.
Mr. Comiskey said this morning that
he always treated her we'll and that
she never complained of his actions, as
he always got her anything that she
asked for. 1t could not have been fami-
ly trouble that made her commit sui
eide, said Mr.. Comiskey this morning.
Mr. Comiskey is a painter and was
employed by A. B. Carrigan, where he
has worked for the past two months.
He is a Woodworking man.

DECISION WILL
Be FAR REACHING
Supreme Court Asked to Decide
Constitutionality of Initiative
and Referendum.

Washington, September 24.-Tho
initiative and referendum probably
Will be the subject of a decision
with far-reaching consequences-by
the Supreme Court of the United States
during the approaching term. The
question of the constitutionality OF
these eXpedients of government forms
the basis of suit between the State
of oregon, where they arr in use, and
the Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. AS the case is near
the head of the docket il will be
reached in time to insure a decision
before the end of the term.
The case originated in the COM
pany's challenge of a law enacted by
the oregon Legislature under the
initiative plan, by which a tax of 2
per cent. was placed upon the gross
earnings of telegraph and telephone
companies. Taking the position that
the initiative and referendum. which
are coupled In the Oregon law. are
inconsistent with the republican form
of government guaranteed by the Con-
stitutlon of the United States, tho
company refused for four years to pay
the assessments. Tho State thereupon
brought suit. There was fight to
finish in the trial court but the de-
cision was favorable to the law A
Supreme Court OF the State, and the
company. still unsatisfed. carried the
case to the highest tribunal on a writ
of error.
Much attention is already being
given to the case because OF its great
Importance. AS the constitutionality
of the law is sluarely presented, It
will be incumbent upon the court to
deal primarily with the fundamental
principles involved in system which
is coming into vogue in i..any States.
1t is estimated that eight or nine mil
lions of people will he affected by the
result.
In addition to Oregon. the States OF
Colorado. Montana. South Dakota. Mis-
souri, Oklahoma. Arkansas and Maine.
and the prospective State of Arizona,
now possess constitutional provisions
for the initiative and referendum.
while the States of California. Wash
ington. Nebraska and wyoming are
preparing to vote on amendments au-
thorizing such features. Nevada has
the initiative. and is expected to soon
add the referendum.
II not too long delayed the courts
decision will meet a demand from Con-
sress, where the question involved
Will receive much attention during
the coming session.
