attacking the ccnstitutionality of the
supreme court yesterday by Attorney
B. C. Bachrach of Chicago on behalf
of his Client Jack Johnson. the negro
pugilist Johnson has appealed from
the decision of Judge Carpenter refus-
ing him writ of habeas corpus. Ar
gument will be heard by the supreme
court on Jan. g.
Bachrach asserts the Mann law is
unconstitutional because only the indi-
vidual states have power to regular
vice and morality. He says the law
is invalid also because it is made ap
plicable to a person who causes the

THE DECLINE IN BRiTlSh
 CONSOlS.

It may be observed that the head of the British treasury department has not given any sign of willingness to accede to any of the plans thus far put forward with view to i'm proving the market condition of the governments securities. Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchcquer. in 8 speech u9oD the subject. confined himself to suggesting that the req sons for the decline should be dis cusscd and the remedies which have been suggested carefully examined
 He referred in his address, however
 tp the principal causes which have resulted in the price of tho 2E per cent consols having fallen as low as
 7h, compared with their high rate of 110% in 1898. This. as he po,nt- cd out, may be largely ascribed tc the increase in the number and amount of securities which are avail able in England as investments on the part of trustees. In 1888 only about f 300. .000,O00 of government se- curlties were available for such in vestments, and thero were. in adli- tion, no more than E30O.OOO,OO0 of other issues which might be used for the same purpose. At the pTes- cnt time, according 10 Lloyd George, there are no less than z 800, ,000, 900 of issues, apart from British consols. which may be purchased by trustee s under the law governing their action in such matters. It is Furthermore pointed out that concurrently with the widening of the market in re- .spect to trustees, it has undergone q still greater change in the way of an increase in the available securities where the general investing public is concerned. The result has been that .ot alore conSols, but other high grade securities in the British market have come into competition with a maSs of bonds and stocks. native and foreign, which offer great CT attractions in the way of income return. and, as consequence, most Of the silt-edge securities have suf- fered declines proportionate to the fall which has occurred In the mar ket value of consOls.

CHINESE HUMAN HAIR SUP
 PLIES FAILING.

Experts in the human hair trade in Hongkong are calling attention to the fact that the disposition of buyers Of human hair in the United States to expect a great oversupply of the ma terial as a result of social and other 1 changes. including queue cutting. in China is likely 10 lead to disappOint- ment Instead of an oversupply, the changes now going on are cutting off the chief source of supply in China and there is likely soon 10 be de- cided falling away.
 The situation hinges upon the dis position of the queues of Chinese men. Contrary to general impression in the United States and Europe. the queues when cut are not sold. This Is an absolute rule. so far as South China is concerned, and 1t is the cus- tom all over those portions of China from which the writer has been able to secure reliable data on this sub- Ject. The queues. when cut, are pre- served. according to general state ment. for burial with the owner.
 The chief supply has come from Chinese barber shops, where. in the course of shaving portions of the heads of customers. considerable long hair is accidentally removed. Now that the queues are cut. however. Chinese barbers have no more long hair to dispose of than barbcrs in the United States A contraction of tho supply in Hongkons already is apparent, and but for the hesitancy
 
 to meet the market here the prices for supplies locally would have gone up As it is, prices here are re- maining firm in spite of aa indispo- sltion on the part of foreign buyers 10 meet them.
 The declared value of exports of human hair from Honglong to th'. United States in 1912 was .292.75 as compared with s695.137 in 1910. $327,- 55s in 1909 and S92.209 in 1908. Ship ments from the Hongkong market in 1911 to all countries were much larger in volume than the year be- fore. aggregating L759.S33 pounds in contrast to about 100000 pounds in 1910. A great proportion of the shipments, however. was of low grade hair used for various purposes other than for false hair-for example, a new haircloth, mattress filling and the like It is doubtful if the total value of the seasons shipments will exceed s900,000 gold. as compared with an aggregate of ti.500.000 d year ago There is every indication, however. that prices will range much higher for 1s12.-Consular Report

FAMILIES FURNISHED"
BY THE BUNGALOW

Saturday evening, last, the much
heralded baby" was given away at
the Bungalow theatre, and the house
was simply packed and jammed to
witness the giving.
Certain ladies, jealous to a degree.
had become much exercised over the
gift of baby, and it is rumored that
one OF them even went so far as to
drive out to Greenleaf, from which
place she had heard the baby was
coming, in order to stop the disgrace
full proceedin. Certain it was that
there were two warrants out for the
arrest of the proprietors of the theatre
which were to be served the moment
the baby was given away.
When the moment for the gift at
last arrived the interest was at a fever
heat, and when the baby" proved to
be baby pig, red and dressed in be-
coming clothes, the whole house gave
vent to burst of merriment that fair
~ raised the big rafters above.
The zealots have not had much to
say since the denoument, and do not
particularly care to discuss babies.

County Seats Remain.

AT the election recently held two
county seat fights were settled for at
least six years. Silver City will re-
main the county seat Of Owyhee
county and Idaho City Of Boise
county. 1t takes two-thirds majority
to change the seat of government
after it has been once established. In
Owyhee county Bruneau was the as
pirant for the county seat and Silver
City actually received majority of
the vote cast at the election. Bruneau
only got a substantial vote in her i'm
mediate section of the county. She
expected to get help from the Gem
Irrigation district people, but the peo-
pie of that section are looking for
ward to the day when either a new
county will be created or the principal
town of the district will be the county
seat of Owyhee county and they pre-
ferred that conditions remain as they
are for few years at least.
In Boise county the fight was be-
tween Idaho City and Montour. the
new town on the Idaho Northern rail-
road. sMontour received a small ma
pority Of the votes cast but no where
near the required two-thirds.
The only thing that Bruneau and
Montour can do now is to prevail upon
the legislature to create new counties
that they may have county seats OF
their own. This reminds us that sew
eral county division schemes are
afioat Payettc has little plan for
dividing Canyon county an outline OF
which appeared in recent issue OF
The Tribune. Oneida county, or
rather American Falls, in Oneida
county, always has county seat
scheme up her sleeve. Sometimes It
simply provides for cutting off slice
Of Oneida. At other times a part OF
Oneida, a section of Bannock and a
portion Of Blaine Is to be used to
make the new county. And at times
even poor little Cassia is asked to give
up a part OF her territory. Fremont
county. the largest in the state in area
may after many years be divided. BIZ
ennially we hear that there is talk OF
county division in Fremont but It
never takes definite form in the legis-
latures II might be just as well II
the legislature. after electing two
United States senator's, were to devote
Its time exclusively to the division OF
1.-The counties Of the state. We know
| of nothing to which it might devote
its time and attention and do less
harm to the people generally.
