The suit was brought by II. w.
Bolens of Port Washington against
state officers about year ago. 1t
was argued before the state supreme
court. without a previous hearing in
circuit court, and the court upheld
the constitutionality of the law. An
appeal was then taken to the fed
eral court
The supreme court refused the in
junction asked. Mr. Bolens attor-
neys then took out a writ of error
from the supreme court of the Unit

questions involved On this point it
was argued that the law vas in some
Of its provisions, as the graduated

violation of the fourteenth amend
