OAKS FROM ACORN
Supreme Court Must Settle
Many Trivial Disputes.
PerpIexing Questions Involved
in Petty Quarrels.

Washington, Nov. 18.-From small
beginnings have arisen some of the
most perplexing questions to be passed
upon by the supreme court this fall
and winter.
Thomas w. McComb had splendid
luck duck hunting in Tinicum town
ship, Delaware county, Pennsylvania,
a year or so ago. Probably to his
surprise that days outing will bring
him to the supreme court. He was
prosecuted for using an automatic
gun in the hunt In defense he at
tackled the constitutionality of the
Pennsylvania law against the use OF
that type of weapon.
Matthias Schmidinfer, a Chicago
baker, is said to have made his loaves
of bread a trif1e too small one day
and was fined 500 for violating a city
ordinance regulating the size or
loaves. He will ask the supreme
court to declare the ordinance a viola
ton of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution of the United States.
Mary F. Butts, negreSs of Everett,
Mass, thought she did not receive the
treatment to which her ticket entitled
her on a vacation trip by water from
Boston to Baltimore and return in
1907. AS an outcome she will ask
the supreme court to decide that the
cold civil rights act" of 1875, which
was held unconstitutional in bitterly
fought cases many years ago is con-
force and effect upon the ocean and
other places where the United States
has Jurisdiction. She wants dam
ages.
Kansas Man Gets In.
Three quarts of whisky will bring
Addison Shippy Tuck to court on
charge of introducing liquor onto al
Iotted lands of members of the Pot
Indians of Kansas.
A burn on the back of Anne
Sweeney, of the District of Columbia,
forms the basis of another suit. on

x-rays in photographing patients.

'auction," comes a case from the,
Hawaiian islands. Arrests were made
there for the alleged violation of a
law requiring a license for sales at
auction. The sales in question were
made to retail fish dealers. The point
is raised whether this was an auction,

tween public" and "private" auc-

whether the government must pay

late Major Nathaniel H. Mclean of
