yon expects that a decision will be
announced today on the motion
made by the Great Northern rail

railroad and warehouse commissions
directing the restoration of Sunday
passenger service between Duluth,
Bemidji and East Grand Forks, be
stayed until the case can be heard
on it's merits in the regular course of
business.
The deputy attorney general, ac-
companied by Commissioners Mills,
EImquist and Jacobsen appeared be-
fore District Judge William Leo
Kelly on the appeal Of the railway
from the commissions order. Coun-
selor Countryman promptly asked
that the road be allowed to disre-
gard the order as affecting last Sun
day, alleging that as the public could
not have sufficient notice for a re-
storation of the service there would
be no patronage. To this the court
consented. ~
Then the railway through its at
torney made the formal motion that
the order be stayed until the appeal
could be decided. The state, through
the deputy attorney general, on be-
half of the railroad board and the
|comp1ainants In Duluth and towns
and cities westward to East Grand
Forks argued against The holding up
CT the order. ~. g.
The railway and the state are
ready to argue the appeal on : it's
merits whenever the court sets a
date.

Friedrich, second son of the kaiser,
for the throne of Hungary is certainly
being energetically pushed by Ger.
many. 1t has been put about in Hun,

the modern form of Attila. This
