SEN. JACKSON
To HOLD OUT
Advised by Senator Elihu Root
and George Sutherland
to do so.

Senator William T. Jackson this week
gave out the opinions Of senator Elihu
Root. of New York, and Senator George
Sutherland. of Utah. as to the Mary
lander's tenure in the United States
Senate.
These opinions had been requested by
Senator Jackson, who was anxious to
establish his status. and have been laid
before Governor Goldsborough The
Root opinion was read by Attorney.Gen-
eral Poe before he announced his own
views as to the right Of the Governor
To issue writ of election for the short
term Senatorship.
Senator Root, as stated at the time.
holds that Senator Jackson may occupy
his seat in the Senate until the Legis-
lature has assembled and that the Gov
ernor has no right TO issue writ of
election until authorized by the General
Assembly TO do so. Mr. Root says the
Seventeenth amendment specifically
provides that vacancies shall be filled
only as the Legislature of a State may
direct Senator Sutherland in his opin-
ion agrees with Senator Root. He in
sists that Senator Jackson may sit in
the Senate not only until the Legisla-
ture meets but until it shall have the
opportunity to provide for the cleo
ton of a Senator He does not believe
that the Governor need call special
election until directed TO do so by the
Legislature.

passed in Mankato in April last
year, which relates to the. disturb

city 1t is alleged in the complaint
that Mrs. Aitken has been making
/ unseemly noises on the street and
| disturbing the quiet meditations> of
the evening strollers, and those who
reside within considerable radius
of her chosen corner on Front and
Main streets. 1t is alleged that her
lmournful walls have been heard more
| than block away.
! Opened Court With Hymn.
Far be it from the municipal court
Iof Mankato to deal in anything but
Justice, or to be inspired by any
other than truly Christian and de-
voutly religious ideal, but it has been
some time since the court has been
lopened by an orthodox religious serv-
ice. When Mrs. Clara Aitkens was
brought into the court this afternoon
on the charge of disturbing the peace
and quiet of the city, she opened
lcourt by singing Jesus Lover of My
Soul" Judge Comstock made no OBJ
lection to the song, and allowed Mrs.
Aitken to sing the hymn all the way
Through. When she had finished her
lreligious manifestations the judge
read a copy of the complaint to her.
charging her with having disturbed
the peace by loud, unseemly and
boisterous noise on the corner of
Front and Main streets on Wednes.
day evening. April 80.
Officer Swore to Complaint.
| Officer Alfred Johnson, who at.
/; tempted to make Mrs. Aitken desist
| from her eXhortations on the evening
mentioned, appeared as the com.
planning witness and testified that
Mrs. Aitken had been guilty Of the
alleged in the complaint. Mrs. Ait,
ken appeared bewildered by some
Eof the words in the complaint and
did not make any plea. AS a matter
of law, Judge Comstock entered q
plea of not guilty and continued the
case until $3.50 this afternoon. He
advised Mrs. Aitken to procure q
copy of the complaint and to secure
: the services of an attorney.
Officer Mic Thilgen served the. war
rant on Mrs. Aitken. He read the
document to. her, and when that
angry lady began to expostulate the
officer calmly told her that he was
not there to, argue the case, blu,
merely to do his duty in making
| the arrest. Mrs. Aitken also asked
why some Of the DRINKS were not ar
rested on the street, and Mr.. Thil
gen told her that this was being
done to the best of the ability of thu
police force. Mrs. Aitken told thu
officer that she would appear in thu
lcourt room at two o'clock as the
warrant ordered, and Mr. Thilgen took
her at her word She was not re-
CURED to give bail.

the United States government for
the Bank of Belle Fourche sued the
Ibondholders of the Wideu- Finley
company for sum amounting to
about $4,000 which the bank claim
|. ed as payment for money advanced
by the bank to the company when
the company was building the gov
eminent ditch near Belle Fourche.
The decision in the lower court
gave the plaintiffs the verdict. The
defendants appealed the case to thu

the trials was held in st. Louis. The
court then reversed the order of thu
lower court and now the order grant
ling a new trial comes as supple
mentary order from that court.

Mrs. Clara Aiken Undismayed
BY Warrant For Arrest

+ Undismayed by the statement made
by Chief Of Police Klugherz that he
would have warrant issued for

sumed her efforts, on the Sau1paugh
corner last evening in her chosen
work of plotting wandering souls to
the haven of rest, and quite a crowd
gathered to hear her exhortations. 1t

licensed because of the complaints
made against her and the talk of
forcing her to-desist from. her curb

was disturbing the peace. Mrs. Ait

that she will fight valiantly for the
