For many years people seemed to
doubt the truth of his statement. OF
late, we are coming to believe at least
in good dinners, and Miss Bevier, pres
ident of the National Home Economics
association will speak before the

Bevier is at the head of the home
economics department of the Univer-

widespread enthusiasm for household
arts indicates indeed that we have
come to the point at which we believe
in good dinners whether or not we
believe in Greek.

1T is therefore manifest that both

Insufficient for want OF a sufficient
number of valid signatures.
QUESTION OF COSTS.
The only remaining question is
that of costs. 1t is urged by the at
torneys for Mayor Schriver and Com
missioner Hart that a Judgment for
costs should be entered by me
against the petitioners Aside from
the question whether a judge sitting
ir chambers could in any event enter
a Judgment for costs, it is certain that
without specific statutory provision
authorizing it TO be done no such pow
er exists.
The question of costs is one of
statutory regulation. AT the common
law there was no such thing known
as a judgment for costs and except
where the statute expressly author

ment a work of great difficulty.
MANY NAMES CUT OFF.
1T is disclosed by the evidence that
all the votes cast for all the candidates
for mayor at the last general city cleo
ton were 5,331. Under the law a pc
tition for recall must contain the
names of 30 per cent i'll number of per-
sons entitled by law 10 sign a recall
petition Fifty-tive per cent of 5,337 is
a fraction less than 1886. The petit
ton for the recall of Mayor Schriver
contained 3.205 signatures, all told.
That is 2G9 names more than was nee.
essary for a recall if they were all
signatures that could be counted. OF
these signatures POI persons filed their
Withdrawals or reVocations with the
city clerk. ISL of which were so filed
before the petitions were filed with
him, and 20 of them were filed on the
same day the petitions were filed. No
evidence being offered that the 20
Withdrawals or revocations that were
filed with the city clerk on the same
were in fact filed before the petition
was filed. and no presumption existing
that the same were filed first. these 90
Withdrawals cannot be regarded as
/ revoking the original signature.
MANY NAMES WITHDRAWN.
That leaves ISL revocations that
were filed on days previous to the fill
ing OF the petition to be deducted from
