Temporary Injunction. -,
Application was made to the court
yesterday afternoon by Newton, Dill-
lam & Young for a temporary injunc.
tion. restraining Carl Jorgenson, state
auditor. from issuing any more! war.
rants on the grounds that the law
creating the tax commission is inval.
id.
When the application had been for
mally stated, the court notified the at.
torneys interested that the court re.
jected the motion for want of juris.
diction. So, ~''
Regular Way. >@r 'ls,.
This action is taken as an indica.
tion that the supreme court prefers to
let all future cases of this nature
reach it in the regular way, especial
ly when such litigation affects exist
ing branches of government. !, It; has
been rumored for some time that &c.
tion would be taken involving the4yal-
idity of a number OF laws drawn
along the same lines as the tax copi-
mission, and containing the same al
legged defects.
No Intimation Given. ~
M intin, ion rlao.. ..4 criuon =. lhy the
,ouart why the line had been drawn
in the case Of the tax commission
suit when only last week jurisdiction
was entertained in the state bonding
suit. e
Gossip was busy last evening at
tempting to assign reasons for the
courts action. The court, however,
has this privilege and saw fit to ex-
ercise it for reasons best known to
it's members. 49,,
Same Point At Issue.
There is pending, however, in the
Burleigh county district court a suit
involving the same point as that rails.
ed by the Hinckley suit. This is the
action brought by John Sullivan OF
Mandan to test the validity OF the
state immigration act. 1t will be
heard next month, but if the best OF
speed is maintained a final decision
probably could not be reached for
several months.
- in the motion before the court yes.
terday the validity of the tax com.
mission was squarely attacked on the
ground that the law creating the com.
mission also provided for an appro.
priatiOn in violation of the state con.
stitutiOn.
Much At Stake.
If the court had granted the motion,
the state tax commissions funds
would have been tied up and speedy
decision Of the point followed. In
case the commission was not sus.
tanned, then it is believed the ruling
would also nullify the laws creating
the board of regents. the immigration
and providing some $780,
900 deficiency appropriations for the
institutions.
Anticipated Special Session.
Those who anticipated a decision
lnfavOrable to the state tax commits.
sion saw crisis in the affairs of the
state justifying special session of
he legislature to straighten out the
angle. Illinois is now holding such
| session precipitated by loosely
|rawn legislation. w.
1t is taken that the supreme court,
through it's action yesterday, has
erved notice that it will not assume
'riginal jurisdiction in any cases ex-
ept those which in it's opinion are
most pressing in nature. Silence on
he part of the court, however, makes
his but mere deduction and specula-
ion.

CONVEY MUCH IN FEW WORDS
Japanese Proverbs Pungent and Their
Repartee Apt to Be Keen
!. and Singing.

1t has been said that the Japanese
are as apt and unique in their proverbs
as they are in their works of art.
What, for example. could be more ap-
propriate to men in certain desperate
circumstances than this: Man may
shout when he can no longer swim?"
While the tongue works the brain
sleeps" is another saying of the Jap
anese, which expresses their contempt
for loquacious persons.
The Japanese are quick at repartee;
their wit is keen and tempered, and
they can often administer a perfect
snub in brief, terse form. In illustra-
tion of this there may be cited the fol-
lowing instance:
There was being tried in court q
case involving the possession and own
ership of piece of property. The lit
igants were brothers. The holder who
was clearly not the rightful owner. had
assaulted and elected his brother and
was protesting his right to defend his
claim.
The examining magistrate listened
very patiently to him until he closed
with the words, Even cur may bark
at his own gate" Then the Judge
quantity voiced the judgment, as IL
stating an abstract point Of law. "A
dog that has no gate bites at his own
risk"

Most ObIiolnu.

A street car was getting under way
when two women. rushing from op.
posite sides OF the street to greet
each other. met right In the middle
Of the car track and in front Of the
car. There the two stopped and be-
gan to talk. The car stopped, too. but
the women did not appear to realize
that 1t was there. Certain Of the pas
sengers, whose heads were Immediate
ly thrust out Of the windows tn az
certain what the trouble was, began to
make sarcastic remarks. but the two
women needed them not.
Finally the motorman showed that
he had saving sense Of humor.
Leaning over the dashboard he In
quired in the gentlest of tones:
Pardon me, ladies', but shall get
you couple of airs?"-Pittsburgh

bury never ate the clans. In fact.
they were known to feed them The
cranberries for which Ouxbury is ia
nous. They were proud of their
singing clans and their little voices
led the children of the village cali
ing them the Little Angels OF the
Bay
1T used to be the custom, when the
tide was low at night. for the lads
and lassies to stroll or sit along the
beach listening to the clans. Their
faint. sweet voices heard in the moon
light have prompted many good man
to pop the fatal question.
Now all this is changed. A crude
business person discovered that each
voice came from a clam that was per.
fectly good to eat. He started out to
catch them, and before long their
fame as steamed clans became
known among the colonists. and the
end was in sight.
The colonists now bring clam
forks as part of their baggage when
they move to Duxbury each summer,
and with one of these any man or
woman who does not mind a little
mud. can pick up enough clans for
a family meal in a very short time.
Yes, the women also catch the
clans. One would think that they
would have too much heart to still
these small voices in a frying pan. but
they haven't.
Various reasons have been ad-
vanced for the singing of the clans,
but have never heard one that
seemed satisfactory. 1t has occa-
stoned many peculiar incidents.
When the French cable from Brest,
which arrives at Duxbury, was first
connected up, the operators used to
complain Of the singing noises they
heard each day when the tide was low.
After finding that 1t was the voice Of
the clans, they fixed the cable and
had no more trouble.
Il expect that this is the last sum
mer that 1t will be possible to listen
to the CLAIMS, and | intend spending
a part of every fine day enjoying their
voices.
AT the rate that the colonists are
eating them they will be all gone in
year or two, and, If possible, | in
tend to be the last citizen of Duxbury
to hear the swan song Of the last
of the famous singing clans. New

tive Murmurines.

From Duxbury, Mass, comes the
news that the singing clans. for
which that resort has long been ia.
nous, are now facing determination
and soon will be relegated to the past
along with the dodo, side hill gouger
and plesiosaurus.
Phineas Railnettor. choirmaster Of
the little church on the hill in Dux-
bury, who has lived in that village
for many years. was in New York the
other day buying dance records for
the phonograph used for the Saturday
night parish dances.
The singing CLANS have been one
OF Duxbury's greatest attractions
since the landing of the Pilgrims" he
said, and the rapacity and inordi-
nate appetites of the newcomers of
the summer colony are responsible
for the fact that they are rapidly be-
ing wiped out.
BY newcomers | mean those of
the summer colony who have been
coming to Drxbury for only the last
so years. The others, the genealogi
cal aristocrats Of the colony, have
been coming to Duxbury since before
the discovery of the sacred cod
and that, of course, was long before
the Revolution.
II had heard Of the singing clans
long before | went to Duxbury. about
forty years ago. and when became
domiciled there. one of the first things
l did was to investigate them.
Il found that their singing. instead
of being a myth grown from the folk
lore of the fishermen, was an absolute
fact.
The clans are different from any of
their kind in the world and that is one
reason why the government ought to
preserve them, even If the residents
of Duxbury have so little pride in
the greatest attraction Of their town.
Unlike all other shelltish these
clans have an aversion to water This.
combined with their singing. seems to
me to prove conclusively that they
are descended from birds.
They live along the shores of the
bay. where there are long stretches
of mud and sand fats. My investi-
cations proved to me that when the
side was in and water covered these
flats, the clans, disliking the water,
burrowed down into the soft bottom
for few inches and waited there
until the water receded.
Their keen sense of sound told
them when it was gone, and they
then come to the surface, zigzagging
their way through the soft ooze.
Then they lie outside their holes,
and after a few moments open their
shells. Immediately the singing COM
mences.
In weird, minor key, like the notes
of an aeolian harp far of in the for
ests, their plaintive voices arise. Forty
years ago. there were almost millions
OF them, and the great chorus. half an
hour after the tide went out, was most
amazing.
''As the tide came In, each succeed
ing wave covering more clans, this
chorus died out, until by the time the
waves were tapping the marsh-grass,
It was absolutely stilled This proved
to me that just as soon as a clam felt
the waves he again sank into his
shell to sleep until the next low tide.
