ago was dfsbarred from practice as a
patent attorney before the patent. Of
nee Tor improper advertising, was to-
day reinstated by Secretary of the In

''delinquencies of which he (Wedder-
burn) then was found guilty have been
more than sufficiently punished" Com
missioner Moore at previous hearing
given Mr.. Wedderburn on the matter

dignified advertising. it does put its
stamp of disapproval on advertising which
states that prizes are offered.
Requests Denied.

in one case A. p Greeley, who was as.
sided over the disbarment proceedings
in Mr.. Wedderburn's case. wrote a letter
to the Secretary of the Interior, who
finally reviewed the case, urging Mr.
Wedderburn's reinstatement on the
ground that he had been sufficiently
punished.

consequence is that the result OF any

casted 70 a practical certainty a few
days in advance.
The Nationalists, who have not rep
resented the city since 1900, now claim
majority on the register, while the
Unionists are equally confident. Lon
donderry, owing to its historic associa-

police authorities will have the utmost
difficulty in prevent an outbreak Of
