COURTS DECISION
 IS SWEEPING Election Case Ruling Puts Ban on Chancery Courts in Matter of Contests.

Supreme Court Says Central Commit. tee Had Full and Sole Pow.
 CT to Act.

Little Rock, July 12.-The decision of the Arkansas supreme court Fri day, in dissolving the injunction which $. Brundidge had brought against Judge George w. Hays, to prevent Judge Hays from being certi- fled out as the nominee of the Dem- ocratic party, for governor, forever puts up the bars against the chan cery courts of the state from attempt ing to interfere by injunction or other court processes in the matter of poli- tical contest. The state could not give them the right, even if it de- sired, says the supreme court.
 Moreover, the decision of the su- preme court virtually declares the findings of state central committed to be final in the matter of election contests involving the governors of flee, except as appeal is had to the state convention, and the effect of the decision is to give emphasis to the fact, in matters purely political and Involving parties only, the or ganizations provided by such parties their rules. regulations and usages should govern.
 Tt would be dangerous to the freedom of elections, the liberty o1 voters and the dignity and respect which should be entertained for judi cial tribunals for the court to under. take in any case to investigate either the government, usages or doctrines of political parties, and to exclude from the official ballot the names ol candidates placed in nomination by an organization says the court quoting from the Nebraska Supreme

 You are earning s8 a week, and have three children to support on that" said the judge. Tt is evident that you must cut your expenses down as iov as possible. You are paying for 8 piano by nstallmenrs You will have to stop that. for people in your circumstances can't afford to have a piano.
 You must leave the house you are living in and move to 6 smaller one with lower rent. You ought not to pay over $5 or $6 month for rent" The mother objected to lhis, saying shat she could not live in respecta. ole ne;ghborhood under such condi rions.

GETS HUFF RESIDENCE

The transfer of the palatial Huff
residence at 1900 New Hampshire ave-
nue., to the Argentine legation. as FORE
casted in The Times several weeks ago.
has been brought about. Papers trans
ferring the property, owned by Mrs.
George F. Huff, widow Of the former
Pennsylvania Congressman, to the South
American Republic were recorded at the
City Hall yesterday, 1t became known
today.
The consideration was 100000.
The transaction which has been mere
ly awaiting the formality Of going
through one Of the title companies has
been the definite choice of the Argentine
government since the. bill asking for an
appropriation passed the two chambers
of the Argentine legislature during tire
past month.
1t was given out at the Argentine le-
cation last week that the property had
been bought. but had not gone through
one of the title companies, and that NOV
ing from their old quarters at 112s
Twenty-frst street northwest had be-
gun. 1t was said today that the lega-
tion will not be finally installed in its
new home until the middle of the
month. .
Dr. Romulo S. Naon chose the New
Hampshire avenue, residence which
stands on the northwest corner at the
intersection Of that street with .
street, after an extended search through
the city for a suitable home for the
permanent quarters of the legation in
Washington He determined upon the
HUFF residence several months ago and
sent a request to his home government
for an appropriation to purchase the
property. The bill passed the gArgen-
tine senate September s. and the cham
ber Of deputies September IL. Since
that date the Argentine government se-
cured a definite option on the residenSe
which resulted In a verbal contract to
purchase, referred to the recorder of
deeds yesterday.
Mrs George F. Huffff, who has recent
ly returned to Washington Is at pres
ent occupying the residence which now
belongs to the Argentine government.
The private residence of Dr. Romulo
S. Naon at % Jackson place northwest,
has been the summer quarters OF the
legation during the periodic absences Of
the attaches during the summer months.
The deal for the transfer was ar
ranged and consumated by Randall II.
