SUPREME COURT TO PASS
ON DISTRICT DECISION
Opinion. of Appellate Tribunal
in Condemnation Proceedings
Admitted to Review.

The Supreme Court Of the United Sta tes
today granted the request of the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia t6
review the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals that the condemnation proceedings
for the extension of Colorado avenue were
void because the notice of the condem
nation had not been published in news
papers on twenty consecutive" days be
fore the condemnati ton hearing.
Reasons for Asking Review.
Corporation Counsel Thomas and AS
their brief which accompanied the peti
ton for a review of the case by the Su
preme Court. said that the decision oi
the Court of Appeals was of great i'm
portance for the following reasons:
TT virtually invalidates unpaid spe-
cial assessments aggregatins many
hundred thousands of dollars. 1t af-
fects the titles to hundreds of parcels
of land in the District. the awards OF
which have not been accepted by the
owners 1t will necessitate an average
cost for advertising in eacn street ex-
tension case of between $500 and $500
thereby increasing the burden of as
sesSmcEts.
1T will result in throwing out of
court dDSOIulcly tIt IhiiioNl VI StiSc
extension cases, including the present
case. where a time limit is fixed by the
statute for the institution of the pro-
ceeding. under a ruling of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia that
the assurance of the notice. not the
filing of the petition, is the commence
ment of the suit.
'All of the awards. except one in the
present case, have been paid and the
properties in part taken possession OF
and improved as a street Many of the
assessments have also been paid.
Collateral Effect.
"A further collateral effect of this posi-
ton will be to invaIidate United States
marShaIS sales of land under section
1880 Of the code, the statutory provision
for notice by publication being substantial
~ similar to that in the case at bar Unde,
a general practice for many years, mar
shals sales are not advertised more than
four times.
The advertisement in the present case
follows a federal practice of thirteen
years-ever since the present form OF
statutory provision for notice has been
used il is contended This drastic
decision is unsupported by a single au-
thority constituting the statutory provi-
sions for notice by publication in con-
demnation or special assessment stat.

Law Does Not Violate Treaty.

The significant part of the situation.
more noticeable from the remarks or
the President today than before. rs
that the California law is within the
rights OF that state and that legally,
at least ii is not a violation OF any
obligation this country may have. IL
this attitude is followed to its logical
conclusion. the United States would not
become a party to any action in the
courts seeking to test the law and de-
fining the rights of a state against the
treaties entered into by the govern
me Mt.
The administration will have nothing
to do with the referendum that VIII

Reason for Bryan's Appeal.

The fact that secretary Bryan has ad-
dressed an appeal to Gov. Johnson 10
veto the law. inasmuch as tine governor
had, unoficialiy at least, repeatedly de-
clared his purpose to sign the bill as IL
passed the legislature. is taken i'm official
circles here as indicating either that some
powerful influences have been brought to
bear upon the governor in the interest
of delay or, and more probably, tnat the
Wilson administration is perfecting its
record.
In this action there may be a double
purpose First, to satisfy Japan that the
federal government has done all 1t can
to prevent the legislation under It's con-
stitutional limitations, Of which many
diplomats contend Japan should have
been aware when it entered into treaty
relations and secondly. to place upon the
state authorities of California the re-
sponsility for any serious outcome of the
alien land legislation.

Appeal of Secretary Bryan.

The appeal of Secretary Bryan, pre-
nared after conference with the Pres
ident. to Gov Johnson. urging him to
withhold signature, was put on the
wire last night and made public at the
White House 1t reads
..The President directs me To express
his appreciation OF your courtesy in
DELAYING action on the land bill now
before YOU until its provisions could
be communicated to the Japanese gov
eminent and considered by it.
His excellency, Baron Chinda. has.
on behalf of his government, present
ed an earnest protest against the
measure. As you have before you but
two alternatives, viz: To approve or
n veto. it will avail nothing to recall
to your attention the amendments
suggested to the legislature; and as
tho President has already laid before
you his views upon the subject 1t is
Unnecessary to reiterate them.
"He PASSES over questions aHectlns
treaty rights for two reasons. first. be-
ca,lsa the bill passed by the Legislature is
ayowedly intended to conform TO treaty
ohIigations. and. second. because any
confiicf complained of would be a matter
for the courts, but the President feels
justified in expressing again his desire
that q ction on the subject be deferred for
thfs session. and he expresses the desire
tha more freely because the legis- -ature
can he reconvened at any time IL the well
fare of the state requires ii.

Expect Reply Without Delay.

AS the legislature is near the ened Of
its session, it is expected that Gov john
sons reply will be forthcoming today or
tomorrow. II he yields to Secretary
Bryan's appeal, the element of urgency
will be removed, as Japanese land owners
in California will not be in immediate
danger of loss of their property and the
State Department can at its leisure en-
bark upon negotiations with the Japanese
embassy for a new treaty TO replace that
OF 1911 and provide some permanent
means of adjustment of the rights of the
citizens Of one country resident in the
other
II has been suggested that possibly
by a fiat declaration that neither coun-
try shall admit the right of citizens
of the other 10 hold land in its terri
tories the Japanese may be satisfied.
Should Gov. Johnson decide to sign
the bill Notwithstanding federal oppo-
sition. legal proceedings are almost
certain to follow the first attempt of
the California authorities to escheat
the property OF the Japanese land
holders. Probably All issue could be
made up Immediately by some such
land holder undertaking to transfer
his land to another Japanese in California.

not be Inappropriate, however, for me
to invite public attention to this day
and particularly to the character of
exercises which should be observed
thereon.
1t is oftentimes referred to as the
Soldiers Sabbath. 1t is a day set
apart on which to pay honor and
respect to the memory Of those heroic
men, living and dead, who in the
hour of our greatest national peril
freely offered their lives and honor
! upon our country's altar 10 order that
! it might continue to live. 1t is a
/ day sanctified by devotion to duty, to
the call Of country, to the highest
! ideals Of patriotic service, and it is,
| therefore, day on which public and
! private observances should partake
Of religious character; all unseemly
games and noisy sports and shows
which serve to distract attention
from the sacredness of the occasion
should be discouraged.
Let US place flowers upon the
graves of the departed, let US add
i something of pleasure to the lives OF
those OF that grand army who still
remain with US, aud let US seek to IN
spire 10 our children the same
! patriotic love of country and devotion
to duty which animated those noble
men of an earlier day.
In Witness Whereof, / have here.
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the State of
Idaho. Done at the capitol In Boise.

That silent spot, alas, may weep
Beyond Potomac's wave.
For there q nations heroes sleep.
The loyal and the brave
There, undistslrbed. In calm repose,
Their pains and passions done.
Their battles fought their triumphs closed
Their Anal victory won,
No clouds of smoke to dim the eye,
No roar OF shot or shell,
No onward march, no battlecry,
On plains where thousands fell.
No warlike blast or roll of drum,
No lonely watch to tread.
All. generations yet to come
Shall praise the fallen dead!
Year after year. how grand tho scene,
By loyal hands th ats true
The graves arc strewn with garlands green
OF those who wore the blue.
The thunderstorms OF heaven may rave.
But under Gods control.
Serene and calm still rest the brave
While endless ages roll.
Sleep on. then. fallen comrades, sleep!
Your dreams of war are Ned,
The land you saved will sucred keep
The city of her dead.

PROCRESSIVES PLANNING
Met at Lewiston. n.-See Chance For
Victory Next Year.

State leaders of the Progressive
party met at Lewiston Saturday with
members Of the party in Nez Perce
and adjoining counties to determine
plans for an organization in every
precinct In the state and the an
nouncement was made that the party
would have candidates next year from
United States senator to precinct
constables and justices of the peace.
Those attending from outside
points were: State Chairman Gipsou,
6. H. Martin, candidate for governor
on the Progressive ticket last year;
Charles f. Goystein, county chairman
OF Shoshone county, and H. E. Noel.
roy of Ada county, member OF the
state executive committee.
Messages were received from Thev-
dore Roosevelt, PAIL C!agstone, H. H.
Barton and Others.
The campaign will be launched this
fall by the organization of county
clubs, and the organizations will
later be extended to every precinct.
County dinners will be held and the
state candidates will be brought out
early in the winter and the party will
work to distribute the nominat ions
10 such manner as to draw votes To
the entire ticket. The word was
given out at the convention that the
success OF the party in Idaho next
year depended upon the vote in the
north.
Chairman Gipson stated the SOUTH
west is strongly Progressive, while
the southeast may be classed as con-
servative. He said the balance of
power is 10 the north, and for that
reason much attention will be given
to the campaign in the north. He
charged that the Republican party
had thrown away its golden oppor
tunity given it by the people last fall
and must next year 20 before the
