PAINTER FAMILY
STARTS FIGHT
FOR ORGANS
Demurrer Is Filed in Baltimore to
Petition Asking a Receiver
for ViScera.

BALTIMORE, June 25.-A demur,
rer offered in the Circuit Court to-
day by Mrs Martha S. Painter, widow
of Edward o. Painter, the Jackson
vile fertilizer man, and his daughter,
Miss Okle c. Painter, may delay for
several days consideration of the pc
tition for a receiver asked for the
viscera of the late fertilizer king.
The demurrer declares those insti-
tuting the proceedings have no con-
stitutional right to do so.
Before hearing witnesses Judge
Duffy asked DR.. Charles Chaser, who
conducted the analysis, if they could
be preserved pending the time the
case might be in litigation. Dr. Gla-
ser replied that they might be kept in
a good state until next fall.
Attorneys for the family argued
that they were entitled to possession
of the remains of Painter, under rul-
ings of courts in different States.
THE organs of the human body are
not property" the attorneys argued.
THE courts have said a human body
is only quasi property and it can
only be considered in the light Of
property when the next of kin are
making "A claim for it,"

Ideas Approach lmbeciic.
"His ideas border on the imbecilic
It is utter nonsense to say that the
increased wages obtained by the
members of the labor unions has i'm
posed a tax on those who happen not
to be members. 1t is matter of In
dustrial history that where the labor
unions have procured better wages
those outside the union have been
similarly benefited, If not quite In the
same degree.
"The foremost economists Of the
country, those who look at the sub
iect without the bias which might
be accredited to the labor unionist
himself, are pretty generally agreed
that the labor union not only mas set
the standard of wages and the hours
of labor. but also has set the stand

people, who in the final analysis are
one of the strongest bulwarks OF the
state, They not only admit, but de-
clare freely, that the reforms OBJ
tanned by the unionists have been of
benefit to the people at large.
How foolish, then, is 1t to assert
that the activities of the labor unions
are imposing a tax on the remainder
of the States citizens.

His suggestion that compulsory
arbitration be one of the laws placed

Sunday night became known to-day.
The wife of the famous creator Of
Mutt and JEFF lies in her apart

cash five inches long in her throat as
the result of an accident which only
great good fortune prevented from
being fatal.
Mrs. Fisher, whose clever singing
won great applause at the Forsyth
Theater last week, retired about mid
night Sunday night. About an hour
later she arose and started into the
bath room to fill a pitcher, contain
ing some ice, with water. The lights
were not turned on in the apartment
and as Mrs. Fisher entered the bath
room she stumbled and fell against
the bath tub.
The pitcher she held in her hand
crashed against the tub, and she fell
against a jagged piece of the glass,
cutting a deep cash in the throat. She
screamed and tainted, and Mr.. Fisher
picked her up and carried her to a

ASSEMBLY Gets
DOWN To REAL
BUSINESS
Anderson Wins Fight for Senate
Presidency, BurweII for the
Speaker Of House.

The Georgia Legislature for Is13-14
was organized in both branches
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Senator J. Randolph Anderson, Of
the First District. was elected pres
ident Of the Senate and Representa-
tive william H. Burwe1, Of Han
cock County, was named Speaker OF
the House.
Neither man had any opposition
IN the balloting, and both were elect
ed unanimously.
The rather unexpected termination
Of the heretofore uncertain and
strenuous fight for the presidency Of
the Senate undoubtedly surprised the
packed galleries and Hobbies.
Allen Withdraws His Name.
Senator Spinks, who was expected
to nominate Judge Allen, arose i'm
mediately after the Senate had been
called to order by Secretary Northen,
and instead OF nominating his man,
withdrew his name,
In doing this he delivered a fine
and friendly little speech. praised his
own man and his opponent and said
that, while Judge Allen had 10 votes
ready to stand by him, It was not
sufficient TO elect and the Senator
from the Twentieth-Jucge Allen
preferred TO do the graceful thing and
retire, rather than proceed with his
friends to a fruitless struggle.
When Senator Spinks sat down
Senator Stark arose and nominated
Mr.. Anderson in a speech every bit
as good natured as the one proceed
ing IL
Rival Votes for Anderson.
When the roll was called, Aliens
name came first, and when he start
ed the ballotng in favor of his vic
torious rival. he was generously ap-
plauded by his colleagues.
on assuming the chair President
Anderson delivered a brief address,
particularly calling attention to the
much necessary legislation that the
new General Assembly likely would
have to undertake.
He got a good laugh when, in "A
facitious manner. he referred to the
Atlanta Chamber Of Commences
work on behalf Of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, the States prop
erty. He said 1t evidently would not
be the Legislatures work to say what
should be done with that property
as the Atlanta trade body seemingly
proposed taking care OF that little
matter itself"
Senate Happy Over Outcome.
ne lFellilE IN lne senate, AFTER the
settlement of the Allen-Anderson
fight was very happy. The way in
which that issue was solved evidently
lifted heavy load off many a Sena-
torial mind, and Judge Aliens frank
and manly attitude won him many
friends.
Mr. Anderson. in accepting the
Presidency paid an eloquent tribute
to the ability and integrity of his late
opponent.
The efforts Of the prohibition lead
ers to get into the game at the last
minute seems to have been entirely
futile. so far as results were con-
cerned
% Both Senators Anderson ana Allen
answered the query propounded TO
them, as 10 whether they would ia
vor legislation to perfect the Webb
law, IN the affirmative, ana that nat
tened out all chance for excitement
along that line.
"Drys" Fail to Change Vote.
It is evident that the infection of
the prohibition issue did not change
a vote.

PUNAHOU OPERA
Will BE BIG
Event

But two days are now left before
the first presentation OF the light
opera, The Chimes of Normandy"
which is to be given in the Charles K.
Bishop Hall, Punahou, by the conf
bined Glee and Dramatic clubs of Oahu
College. Two presentations OF the
opera will be given. the first Friday
night and the second Saturday night.
Many weeks have been spent in prepa-
ration for these two nights and the
opera is certain To be all that is ex-
pected of tia great success.
The idea of an opera was first sug-
gested to the Glae and Dramatic clubs
when they met the first OF the year
to decide upon the annual concert
which ID has been the custom of the
Glee Club students to give each year.
The Dramatic Club, either separately
or in conjunction with the Glee Club,
has given an entertainment, usually a
play, which together with the concert
by the Glee Club, composed their pub
lie work for the year. This custom
has been carried out at Punahou for
years and the oldest alumni members
can tell of the Glee Club concerts of
their day. This year, however, it was
proposed to combine the Glee and Dra-
matte clubs and present some enter
tainment in which both clubs might.
take an active part. An opera was
the form of entertainment suggested
and THE Chimes of Normandy" was
chosen as the one best suited to the
students.
The scene of the opera is laid IN
Normandy during the reign OF Louis
XIV. The costumes are all Louis XIV
and are one of the attractive features
Of the opera. A corps of dressmakers
has been employed in making go cos
tunes for the choruses and principles.
A special suit of armor, which plays
an important part in the opera, has
been prepared and is a fine piece OF
workmanship. No pains or expense
has been spared in preparation for
1.-THE Chimes of Normandy" and all
indications point towards great sue
cess.
Rehearsals have been conducted un-
der the supervision OF Miss Helen
Latham, who takes an important part
IN the opera Miss Latham has charge
OF the music department of the col
lege and has had much experience in
this work. Miss Louise Churchill has
the leading female role in the opera
and Allan Renton has the leading
male role. Both Miss Churchill and
Allan Renton have wonderful voices
which go extremely well together.
Each part in the opera is well taken.
Tickets to THE Chimes OF Nor

Music Company's store.
