QUALITY OF GAS

Mankato, Mimi, Jam 29.--The city

meeting yesterday and received re-
ports.
v. Fl. Roehric. city chemist of ST.

quality of the gas furnished, present
er report showing that it falls short
of the requirements of the franchise.
The company supplies coal gas, and
the franchise of the city calls or a
candle power of 16.
Analysis Of the gas, according to the
report, showed that low candle power
was due to the drawing In Of some air,
though probably not Intentionally, to-
getIler with the low content illumin-
ants. The report says that to ascer-
tain the exact cause of the trouble
would require an investigation of the
plant. but that it is not due to the
coal, as this was tested aud found to
be good gas coal. There appears to
be no reason why the candle power
should not be at least Ia and the heat
units near 600 British thermal units
gross This should be easily possible
with careful management. the report
says.

DECLARES JUDICIAL .
OLIGARCHY RULES
N. C. JUSTICE ASSERTS COURTS
uSURP .UNAUTH DRIED FUNc-
TIONS OF GOVERNMENT.

New York, Jan. 29.-DecIaring that
all the power Of government, both
federal and state, lies at the feet Of a
Judicial oligarchy" composed Of the
lawyers of the United States. Chief
Justice Walter Clark of the North
CarcIna supreme court, addressing a
meeting of the Peoples institute at
Cooper Union here, warned his fellow
jurists throughout the country to take
heed lest their power prove their un-
doing.
Justice Clerks theme was Govern,
ment by Judges. In part, he said:
in this country, as in all countries,
the control Of the government is in the
hands Of the few. We have learned
that the form of government amounts
to little. The real question is, where
does the control Of government re-
side?
"The overwhelming preponderance
of the Judiciary was unexpectedly cre-
ated in 1903 by a decision of the SUI
p.seme court of the United States
without line in the constitution to-
the right to veto any act of congress
they chose to hold unconstitutional.
'aThis doctrine was seized upon
promptly as boon by the special In
terests and by all who believed at,
heart in the government of the many
for the beneTlt Oh the IeW. IL mas pfac-
tically made the courts the dominant
power in every state in the union.
Whenever any progressive statute has
| not been in accord with the economic
views entertained by the courts. they
have generally exercised their power
| to declare such statute unconstitu-
tional because it was not due process
! Of law.
Ninety million persons of all sorts
are not going to submit to the usurpa-
1 tion by the judiciary of the function
| of other departments of government
and the power on It's part to declare
what is the public policy of the United
States /" he said, quoting Justice Har-
ian.

JAPAN AT
ENDOFI'TS
PATIENCE

Tokyo, Jan. 29.-Hopes have been
express ID in official circles that a
basis of understanding on the Califor-
nian alien land ownership question
will be found by the Japanese and
United States governments On which
both are seeking solution.
The chief concern at present seems
to be in regard to future legislation In
America. 1t IS said any additionaE
enactments unfavorable to the Japan
ese would be considered a serious
menace to the traditional friendship
of the two countries.
The government at Washington has
endeavored to assure Japan that Call
fornia would cease adopting legisla-
ton held by Japan to be discrimina-
tory. This Is admitted here, but 1t is
pointed out that owing to political
distinctions between the governments
of Washington and California, there
will be some difficulty in obtaining
reasonable assurances for the future.

ARBITRATIONOF
ALL QUESTIONS

Washington, Jan. 9.-Arbitration of
all questions which may arise, includ-
ing those involving national honor, is
proposed in treaty. the terms of
which were agreed upon yesterday by
Secretary Bryan and Constantine
Brun, the Danish minister.
It is expected that the new treaty
will be signed in the near future and
Mr. Bryan is optimistic over the re-
ception it will be given in the senate.
The convention, which will be an
application Of the principle of Mr..
Bryap.s peace proposals. makes no
reservation whatever in the subjects
to be submitted to arbitration. It's
basis is a convention between Dem
mark and Italy signed at Rome, Dec.
8. 1905 which obligates the signatory
powers to submit to arbitration at the
Hague court "all disputes of whatever
nature that may arise between them
and could not have been settled by
diplomacy"
1t is understood, however, that a
provision of the Danish Italy treaty
limiting the citizens of either country
as arbitrators will not be feature OF
the Danish American pact.
While the peace pacts already sign
ed by secretary Bryan are with small
er nations of the world. the idea is
said to have received favorable. con-
sideration in% some of the most in-
portant European chancellors.
There has been no announcement on
the sui ect but it is understood favor

there is considerable doubt If 1t Will
do so. The review by the courts of
charges against policemen in New
York city was obtained by reformers
many years ago when it was the Tam
many habit to force patrolmen to do
it's bidding in primaries and elections.
No rolice commissioner since the
organization of Greater New York by
the" consolidation of Brooklyn and the
suburbs has left office without loss of
reputation. The position Is considered
an impossible one.

LIMITED TO
6 PER CENT

Washington, Jan. 29.--It became
known yesterday that the federal re-.
serve banl: organization committee
has decided that no bank shall be al
lowed to take stock in the reserve
bank in it's district amounting to mora
than per cent of its capital and sur
plus. The law clearly states that a,
ational bank cannot take less than
per cent, but it is not so plain that
there is any limitation on the amount
above per cent which might be sub
scribed. The organization committee,
however, decided that 6 per cent from
any one would be sufficient. 1t is un-
derstood that If future demands point
to the need for larger subscriptions
the committee, or the federal reserve
board. when it is organized, can
change the present ruling.
