trcal concerns in this country are
facing one Of the biggest business
booms in their history. according to
c. p. La SLelle, vice-presidcnt of ". r.
Ostrander e. Co., manufacturers of
electrical supplies.
Mr. La Shello said yesterday that so
many inquiries had been received by
his concern from South American coun-
tries in the last few days that he had
catalogue in Spanish and Portuguese
in preparation. which he was going to
send to South America. This. he eX-
pected, would so out in two weeks. and
would e followed by agents wlo know
how to get results.
Germany has supplied most of the
electrical supplies and smaller equip
meat these countries, Mr.. La Shele
said, but once they got used to the
American kind he believed that the
trade would be permanent.
One of the most encouraging signs
of an increased export of electrical
supplies from this country, Mr.. La
Shelle said, came yesterday Bishan
BE- Pujat. head of an electrical con
Germ in india, walked into his Office
and said that hereafter he was going
TO carry American electrical supplies

ness of approximately 100000 a

CITY COURT TANGLE

Decision on Appeal Fails to
Indicate Which of Two
Justices Must Go.

Albany, Aug. % The Court Of APP
peals undertook to straightcn out the
legal tanglc over the question Of va

New York City and apparently left it
worse. The court heard the appeals
from the decisions of the Appellate Di-
vision and the Supreme Court and in
each case affirmed their judgments.

tice Dclehanty was properly elected in
1910 and his term does not expire until
the end OF 1919, so that his injunction

declaring his Office vacant is sustained.
The only hitch that remains is that
the Court of Appeals decided that
successor must be elected in November
10 either Justice Lynch or Justice La
Fetra One of these WAS elected to fill
an uneXpired term that ends this year.
They were elected at the same time,
and now even the highest court is un-
able 10 say which Of the justices must
retire unless he is reelected; at least.
the Court Of Appeals left that point
undecided.
The court also upheld the Supreme
Court and the Appellate Division in
refusing writ Of mandamus 10 Owen

the end of this year. Justice Ransom
was elected last fall.
The Bronx voters we're not permitted
TO vote for the Office of City Court JUS

therefore made the election of Justice
Ransom invalid. The Court Of Appeals
decided that Murphy did not bring the
proper proceedings 20 test the title Of
Justice Ransom, and he will continue
