DECIDE
FOR CITY
Wisconsin Supreme Judges
Hand Down Ruling in Case
Similar TO Seattle's
FORCE TICKET SALE
Declare City Can't Bargain
Away States Powers of
Regulating Rates

That no city council has the
right 10 bargain away. by con-
tract, franchise, or any other
kind Of agreement with a pri-
vste corporation, the right Of
the public authorities TO reeu-
late a public utility so as TO
afford the people the greatest
possible convenience, is the de-
cislon handed down a few
days ago by the supreme court
Of Wisconsin.
This decision" says Assistant
Corporation Counsel Ralph Pierce,
absolutely leaves the Seattle I,lec-
trio Co. without a leg to stand on
in its opposition 10 the sale OF
ticketc on street cars"
Can Still Regulate Rates
Assuming that city might
make a contract" says the Wiscon-
sin court in the case OF the Mil
wsakee Electric railway against
the railroad commission. fixing
rates or tolls for a definite period.
the question still remains whether
IL can be construed as giving the
city authorities any power to bar
gain away the sovereign right OF
the state to regulate fares and
tolls and lower them. IL found to be
excessive"
Franchise Disreearded
And, accordingly. the supreme
court OF Wisconsin sustains the
public service commission in COM
pelling the Milwaukee Electric Co.
10 sell 13 tickets for 80 cents.
though the franchise in 1900 fixed
rate OF 20 tickets for 81.
In the Seattle case. the Puget
Sound Traction Co. likewise relies
on a franchise obtained in 1900.
In that franchise, the phraseol.
ogy is so constructed that the com.
pany. by a strict Interpretation, Is
only required to sell tickets at its
own offices and sub stations.
Expect Victory for City
we contend. however" says
Pierce, that, like in the state of
Wisconsin. no council can bargain
away the police powers of the city
to regulate traffic and command
convenient service from public
lc Ou tiitS
ground that we feel confident the
public service commission will de.
eide in favor of the city's demand
for the sale of tickets on street

ter, or % for 81"

PR|SCUS AIDES
HOLD MEETING
PERFECT PLANS
RECENTLY ORGANIZED AuxIEI-
AIRY TO HAVE CHARGE OF Ar.
RANGEMENTs FOR KINGS BALL
FEBRUARY 4TH.

The recently organized secret society
known as the Priscus knights, held
another meeting last night and plan
ned further the part they win take m
the Mardi Gras carnival February 3
and 4.
OF all the mystic associations in
the city there is possibly none that is
as well known at present as that of
the Priscus knights, which in way
is surprising when considered that 1t
is really the youngest in the bunch
and was only formed within the last
ten days. But then work will tell, and
there is no doubt that never has there
been more actual work in the forna-
ton Of an organization than is being
done at present in the perfecting of
the Mystic Society of Priscus Knights.
Combined with this is the fact that
they are receiving the aid and patron
age Of not only the carnival associa-
ton, but also our best citizens, for
they realize that to keep up the high
standard of our carnival entertain
ments, we must have some strictly
first-class organization which will stir
itself in an effort to help not only the
parade but the kings ball as we'll.
The carnival association made a
| wise decision indeed when it turned
into the hands of Priscus Knights the
| arrangements and perfecting Of the
kings ball on Tuesday night, FEBRUARY
4. The committee on this function
| which is composed of four knights OF
the order, are busily at work and
without doubt this will be one Of the
crowning features of the carnival, a
we'll as a great social event.
The floats this year, which are the
best ever seen here will also have
nothing but knights of the order or
| them and it goes without saying thai
while 1t will furnish a great deal oi
amusement to those who are fortunate
| enough to be in the association and
| thereby on the floats, 1t will also be &
feature Of the carnival which has Ions
| been needed and looked forward to
1t means that the floats will be full1
and properly manned from the star
to the finish of the parade. Therefor
Pensacolians should indeed be prou'
of the Priscus Knights and deem !
not only a pleasure but an honor t
be one of them.

and Sharks are running nip -and-tuck
for the cellar seat All the teams are
now very closely matched so that L

nights games but those who recall the
lemons the Whitmans and Sharks
have handed the Rexalls and Pirates

MINISTERS RESPONSIBLE
FOR REVOLUTION IN CHINA

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Dr. Arthur J.
Brown, secretary of the Presbyterian
board Of foreign missions, speaking
before the weekly meeting Of the
Presbyterian ministers, declared for
eign missionaries were responsible for
the revolution in China which led to
the founding of republic. DR.. Brown
said DR.. Sun Yat Sen had confessed
to him that he figured in bringing
about the revolution because he had
had the benefit of missionary train
ing from his youth.
THE real truth is" said DR.. Brown,
that the revolution was caused by
the missionaries spreading the doc
trines of the rights of men. The whole
human race is in an era of upheaval.
A new spirit is abroad in the world.
That is what is now appearing in Chi
na- They have been slow because they
have been isolated.
'The leaders of the revolution were
all Christians and had learned from
missionaries or had studied in Chris
tian lands"
