the speeches were each often two and sometimes three hours long
 Then the evidence on both sides was begun and the case dragged on through the entire winter and spring On June 23 and 24. Isabel Walker Lady Jane Douglas maid was examined On July | the advising of this great cause be- gan, and the Douglas case was carried in favor of the Duke of Hamilton. The decision was so unpopular that the win dows of the judges favorable to the Hamirons were broken and the Pres ident received letters threatening him with death. Douglas was undoubtedly the popular favorite
 The case was then taken before the House of Lords, who did not take it up until the session of 176S-69 on January 19, it was begun; for the ap- pellant there appear ed the lord advo- cate, Sir James Montgomery, and Sir Fletcher Morton, and for the respond ent, three well known legal lights.
 The lord advocate opened the case which was continued daily before the House of Lords until February 27. when the verdict of the court of sessions was revised. and the lords affirmed that Archibald Stewart or Douglas was the lawful heir. When this was known in Scotland, wild joy was shown. and the Douglas adherents made it danger ous for their opponents to reside m Scotland until the military was called out to restore order
 Horace Walpole gives the following account of the lords speeches and the end of the trial: "The Duke of Bed ford, Lord Sandwich and Lord Gower, Were the most jealous for the Hamil- tons. Lord Mansfield, it had long been discovered, favor the Douglas; but the Chancellor Camden, with dignity and decency, had concealed his opinion to the very day of the decision" This ended the remarkable trial as to whom was heir to the Douglas estate.
 Actions of reduction, however con-s tinued to harass MT, Doug;as until 17ss. when these were finally settled in his favor by the House of Lords. upon which Douglas wrote to his brother:
 The House of Lords yesterday gaVe me full and free liberation from all further disputes in law, and the Ham ilton family have now not the small est pretensions to the. smallest part of my estate.

wholly indefensible. He has devoted hlm- .self for instance for several years to stirring up the idea that we must neees- sarily have war with Japan, and, there fore, need to spend fabulous sums of money on great navy in order to get ready for a fight with the little brown man.
 MT. Underwod, on the other hand. is no doubt one of the best balanced, level headed, strong men in Congress on the democratic side for many year.
 Mir Underwod has given his time dur ing the winter to his duty in Congress and spent but a few days during Christ mas holidays in canvassng his state.
 On the other hand. Congressrnan Hob- son, whose duty to be in Washington is just as imperative as that of Mir. Under- wood, has nearly neglected his duty that in the last year he has been in his seat in Congress but 9 days. although. Congress has been in session constantly since the middle of last April.
 But Hobson does not deserve defeat so much because of his absenteeism and neg feet of public duty for private advantage as he does because his ideas are so hope lessly and violently radical. He seems not to care what he says, so that he catches some applause and not only in the Uutopian theories that he advocates but in the violent way in which he deals with all who are not on his mind he shows temper that is hopelessly bad for a statesman. though he might be great success as a duelist
 r. ;. that men like Mir. Underwood shall come to the front, since it must be a democrat anyway who comes from Alabama, ande the better the man the better for the country Of course, the same is true of every other state, but it is very seldom indeed that the state is wise enough to send it's best and strongest men to rep resent it in the national legislature.

The Music Festival

Birmingham has now a splendid fes- tlVal chorus of about TO voices under the direction of MT. Rienzi Thomas, and If We have a festival this spring on a moderate scale, say three performances two nights and matinee-we should be able to have monster affair next year. when we build a great auditorium" said music lover. By a monster festival mean one that would have a grand mass chorus of fully thousand or more made up of the smaller choruses in the different cities of the state, augmenting the local chorus. We could then have a 1estiVal fof three or four days and draw people from all parts of the south"

From Wall Street Point of View

Henry Clews in his Saturday review points out the fact that the stock maL. ket was chilled by unexpected develop ments; chief of which was the arbitrary order for reduction in Canadian Pacific rates, which caused a break of over ' points in that stock and had an unfavor- able effect upon the securities market Another shock came via Mexico and was due to harsh treatment of Spaniards by the revolutionists. The Henry Clews let ter then says, in part:
 There was one more unfavorable de. velopment, and that was the extreme dullness of the iron trade it being esti- mated that the industry is only running at about 70 to 80 per cent of capacity. New orders are scarce, prices are un- settled and it is feared that some sort of adjustment will have to be made in wages, unless the industry shows prompt and marked improvement The latter. of course. depends very largely upon the railroad situation. There is a confident feeling prevailing that the interstate com merce commissioners are going to grant an increase in freight rates, but from such information as can obtain hardly think it will be the per cent rate asked for by the railroads, and as the commits. soners themselves do not originate freight rate advances, they will intimate that fresh application. naming a lower rate will be considered. There can be no doubt whatever that President Wilson favors an increased rate, bu. ne cannot even suggest what rate should be named. The per cent rate asked, there fore, is not unlikely to be turned down; at the same time encouragement will be given to make new application at a lower rate. and. this will probably take place at an early date. Of course the decision against the roads will be at tended with some disappointment. but the intimation that a lower rate will be granted will carry with it a moral in- fluence that will be very effective and lead to the impression that should the lower rate not prove ample an additional one mas be granted later to make it 5 per cent if absolutely needed by the railroads. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof It is hoped the com missioners will hasten their decision as rapidly as possible. The commissioners, being appointed by the President. are comparatively free from political in- fuences; and should be guided more by judicial than political or class consid- erations."
 Clews concludes by saying that while the outlook is still one that demands more or less caution. conditions are gener- ally sound

As a result of an influx of Hindus in British Columbia, the British state de- partment has warned Canadian women that if they marry Hindus and the latter return to their native land there is noth- ing to prevent the Christian wives from being repudiated. The marriage would be valid so long as the Hindus remained in Canada, but a ceremony performed ac- cording to English law is not necessarily recognized as valid by Mohammedan law and a Hindu may, if he wishes, take other wives without consulting his Chris tian wife. Even when a marriage rela- tionship is recognized as legal in a Mo- hammedan country, the husband can divorce his wife at will without any for mality other than that of repudiating her.

DATE SET FOR HEARING
| Of INJUNCTION PLEA
Court to Consider November 81
Railway Company's Protest
Against Two Saloons.

Hearing on the injunction proceed
ing instituted by the Washington and
Old Dominion Railway Company
against the excise board to prevent the
issuance of licenses to James w. War
dell at 1908 NJ street northwest and
to Patrick F. Carr at 36o5 NJ street
northwest, was set today by Justice
Mccoy for Friday, November 81.
The railway company complains that
between the time of the passage of the
JonesWorks bill and the date set for
its going into effect the District Com
missioners extended the fire limits
from 35th street to point west of
the two saloons. 1t claims that the
trainers Of the law intended that no
saloon should be located west of 3oth
street, and the language OF the bill was
made to read the fire limits now es-
tablished." The claim Is made that
the excise board had no authority to
issue license for saloon west of
35th street.
The licenses were recently granted by
the excise board with the qualification
that the licenses were subject to the
decision of the courts or the question
of the authority of the board

For Your Own Sake

\ For Your Own Sake
You have another point
\ to think about besides
\ price, style and quality
when you buy a house,
\ but you don't think about
it, and we never heard of
anybody else that did.
If the first mortgage is over
twO-thirds of the price of the
house. you will not be able to
renew the mortgage for the
same amount. You'll have to
"dig" or maybe lose your
house.
\ Perhaps it only means
\ that the builder is get
ting out from UNDER for
if there's a big first mort
\ gage on the property, and
\ if you also make a good
! size cash payment, he has
gotten back his entire in
\ vestment in land, building,
! and profit. Then suppose
! the house settles, the
\ wooden porch and steps
\ tilt up or down, the plas-
ter cracks and falls, the
roof leaks, the plumbing

! doesn't heat. Well, per-

Excise Boards Answer.

Answer was filed today by the excise
board, through Assistant Corporation
Counsel Stephens. Permission to in
tervene was granted to James War
dell proprietor Of of the So
looms: Albert Carry, owner of that
property. and Patrick F. Carr, who
owns and occupies No, 1905 NJ street
northwest. Attorney Alex Fl. Bell rep
resented Wardell and Carry and At
torney Rosa +. Downing appeared for
Mr.. Carr. The railway company is
represented by Attorneys Wilton J.
Lambert and R. II. Yeatman.
In its answer the excise board adj
mits that the Commissioners did ex-
tend the fire limits beyond 35th street
after the passage of the excise law,
but before it's provisions became oper-
alive. This action was taken at the
request of property holders and
through the recommendation of the
building inspector. who wished to pre-
vent the erection of frame houses in
the locality affected, the court is told.
The board sought the advice of Cor
poration Counsel Syme, the answer
states. and was by him advised that
licenses might legally be issued within
the fire limits as they existed July l,
1913, when the Jones-Works law be-
came operative.
The excise board explains to the
court that before it's rule against is
Suance OF licenses to Wardell and carr
was served and even before the bill of
complaint OF the railway company was
filed the board had voted to grant the
two licenses. The issuance, however.
the court is told, is subject to the
courts action as to the authority OF
the board.
Patrick F. Cars Contention.
Patrick F. Carr, owner of the prop
erty No. 1905 NJ street northwest, and
proprietor of the saloon there. in his
petition to intervene tells the court
that he purchased the saloon business
there eight years ago and that the
railway company was then operating
its road and had it's station a 36th and
NJ streets northwest.
Never until within the past two years,
the petition alleges, has the company
made any protest or complaint against
the maintenance of his saloon, but "eN-
pressly approved, consented and en-
couraged" it.
Mr. Carr asserts that the true reason
for the filing of the company's COM
plant is "the humiliation of affiants
business and the destruction to a large
extent of the value of his freehold He
claims that if the company intends to
maintain it's depot on the present site
it will be necessary to purchase his
property and that of Wardell. He de-
