Washington, June 3O-John L.. Mo nab, whose resignation as United States district attorney of San Fran cisco was recently accepted by Presi- dent Wilson after McNab had attack ed Attorney General McReynolds, will likely be a witness before congress in case the matter results in an investi- gation.

CASES OF INTEREST

Constructive Eviction of Tenant by Rats.-It has been held in New York that the presence of bedbugs, croton bugs, red ants, etc, is not sufficient to establish a constructive eviction as between landlord and tenant. A sim ila,r question has lately arisen in Bar nard Realty Co. vs. Bonwit, 139 New York Supplement, 1O5O, where the de- fense in an action for rent was con structive eviction in that the distur- bance caused by the nightly meetings and performances of rats in the walls and ceilings, coupled with a most of fensive odor, made the place untenant- able. Is this constructive eviction? The Supreme Court, Appellate Divis- ion, holds that since a very large num- Der of people in New York City live in tenement houses and apartIn ent houses in which they have, and can have, control only of the inside of their limited denised premises, conditions are thus created which were unknown to the ancient common law, and this requires elasticity in the application of the principle thereof. tHThe rule in regard to bugs and ants within an apartment, which can be dealt with by the tenant by processes known to all housewives, should not be extended to cover offensive and ur- bearable nuisances outside of the apartn ent. This tenant could not pull down the walls or the ceilings He and his family ought not to be com pelled to pay rent for an apartment in which they could not live. The con- c1usion of the court is that the flat
 dwe11er was justified in his abandon structive eviction.

Drunkenness as Ground for Contin- uance.-In Mississippi it is poor prac- tice to get accused drunk just before trial and then try for 9, continuance. In Bourne vs. State, 60 Southern Re porter, 724, defendant was charged with the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquors When his case was called in the court his counsel made application for a continuance, and filed in support of this motion an affidavit of the de- fendant stating that defendant was sick abed and unable to attend court, and that it was necessary for him to be present in order that he might properly make his defense. Evidence was taken on this motion, and it was disclosed that the defendant just prior to the beginning of the term of court had proceeded to debauch himse1f,and because of the large quantity of whis- key with which he saturated himself, he was then "sick at the stomach and very nervous. For this cause his physician said that he thought he was in no condition to look after a trial in court. The Supreme Court of Mis- sissippt holds that a continuance was properly refused, and affirnas the con viction.

Abusive Language Over a Telephone as Assau1t.-Does the use of violent language over a telephone constitute an assault? See Kramer vs. Kicks meier, 139 Northwestern Reporter, 1O91 In that case plaintiff. charged that she had suffered an attack of rheumatism, which left her in an en- feebIed and nervous state, and that she was making ostensible progress in the way of recovery from that aff1ic- ton, when on a certain date the de- fendant, in the absence of plaintiff s husband, without cause or provocation on the part of plaintiff. swfful1y, ma 1iciously, wantonly and negIgently called plaintiff to the telephone in her home, and in a vociferous and angry manner, knowing that her husband was absent, began to make stateme ments about the cattle belonging to her hus- band that they had broken out of their pen and were at large, and in violent and profane language ordered her to take charge of the cattle, at once, with an intimatfon that he would be at plaintiffs home to avenge him self for an assumed wrong she had permitted in failing to keep her hus- bands cattle within their fnc1osure. That by reason of such language plain tiff became and was greatly hurnilfat- ed and shocked, and caused to be- come greatly excited and nervous, re- Su1ClHS III S1Ch1leSS d,lAO uepA1ANS' 1AAo causing her great pain and anxiety to relapse into a feeble and debilitated condition, from which she has been unable to recover and is permanently disabled, and suffers great bodily pain and mental anguish. The Supreme Court of Iowa holds that a. demurrer was properly sustained for the req son that claims of the nature set forth in the plaintiffs petition are too spec u1ative, remote, and improbable to furnish basis for an action for dam ages; nor can the action be sustained on the theory that an assault is charg- ed, since it is well settled that mere words, even at short range, do not constitute an assault.

Mayor Scouton spoke Of the city
tax levy and laid special stress on
the fact that he did not consider this
the opportune year for providing q
sinking fund for bonds although a
half min levy had been provided for
this purpose. With this ex-Aider-
man Wipgats strongly disagreed. He
substantiated his argument with the
facts that in the 32 years of Du-
range history the town had paid q
total interest on bonds of $S09, ,45S. "a.
On the principal only $500 has been
paid while the bonded indebtedness
of the city is still $295, 900 outside
the improvement district bonds. Mr..
Wingate considered this showing far
from credit to those who had Du-
ranges financial affairs in charge.

quest of the chairman, gave an &C.

ing revenues will be received: Water
licenses, $21,0e0; saloon, $11,5O0;
fines and sundry licenses, $4,000. The
tax levy for the city was fixed at
four and eight-tenths mills.

He dwelt for some time on the grav-
