Arguments Supplemented
by Three Briefs Filed by
Defendant u. S. Officials

Three briefs were filed with the court.

Treasury Department That filed in
the name of the Secretary of the Treas
ury was confined to less than ten
printed pages; twenty-six printed pages
contained the brief in the case for the
treasurer of the United States, while
the main brief. for the controller of
the currency. occupied l12 pages.
The brief for the controller of the
currency first recited the relief sought
by the complainants. in substance. as
follows:
To prevent his interfering with the
payment to the plaintiff Of $4,000 in
terest accrued April /, 1915. on bonds
deposited with the treasurer Of the
United States to secure circuIation--or
otherwise TO enforce penalty for ,ike
amount which controller had assessed.

approve the plaintiff as a deposttary
for the reserves of other banks: 70
prevent his assessing other penaities
for failure to answer or deIay in an
swering calls for reports: to prevent
his interfering otherwise with the
plaintiff bank.
Contentious Of the Brief.
The brief contends that the bill OF
complaint must be dismissed or the
injunction denied on the following
grounds:
First. so far as relates 10 the IS 600
penalty The suit involves the prop
erty OF the United States. is suit

Safes is not made a party and cannot
be made party without its consent:

plaintiff has as against the defend

IN a suit against the United states
The plaintiff shows no cause of action.
because the assessment OF the penalty
sought to be enjoined was made in
the exercise Of a discretion reposed in
the controller by statute. and the court
has no Jurisdiction to review the ex-
ercise OF his discretion

proval of plaintiff as depositary for

LETTER FROM THE EAST.

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Dan. M. Maxson, who is
visiting at Little Genesee, N. Y,
which will be interesting to his many
friends:
"LITTLE GENEsEE, N. Y, July 5, rs.
Dear Friend:
Agreeably to promise, l now take
my pen in hand to inform you of my
safe arrival and continued good
health, ETC., etc. 1 reached here in
time for breakfast, June oath, after
two nights and day ride from Wau-
sau. Tt was tiresome but had to be
done. Though I've been here several
times since 1858, the land of my birth
is not familiar to me. Then the hills
and valleys we're covered with prime
val forest and the streams abounded
with fish of various species, but the
king of all was the brook trout. Now
the hillSides and valleys are stripped
of their forests, the streams are
shrunken, and in many instances only
stony beds and banks are left to tell
the tale. The valleys seem to have
narrowed and deepened; the hill tops
and sides seem higher and sleeper
than in the olden time. But wonder
if the seeming change in the contour
of the locality is not due more to the
conception of the viewer than to any
change in actuality.
This locality was settled nearly one
hundred years ago by Seventh Day
Baptists from Rhode Island and the
eastern part of New York and all
were active, industrious and energetic:
also ambitious to conquer the forest,
and succeeded remarkably well. After
very few years church was organ
lied and is yet in existence, with a
large membership. A meeting house,
as it was then called, was erected,
and in a few years frame church
| building was erected, which, With
addition and remodeling, is now fine,
cOmmodious building. l attended
church service this last Saturday
sabbath day and my mind went
back more than 10 years ago, when a
brother NOW dead) and | used TO
walk over the hills through the val
! leyS 10 church and Sabbath school.
! My parents were members OF that
church but lived three miles away.
/ Brother and | walked the distance
nearly every seventh day Saturday,
barefoot, clad in what would now be
called overalls, coarse cotton shirt,
overalls held in place by a pair OF
homemade 'galluSes,' and homemade
caps on our heads, up valley, only a
foot path for road, over steep hill,
down another valley 10 road, then
follow the road down the valley, 0r
over spur OF another hill, then up
the valley TO the church. The Choir
ister was an elderly man, and when
the hymn vas given out he'd name
the tune, hit his knee with the tuning
fork, rise and start the singing, FOL.
lowed by the congregation. And, by
the way, he was followed as chOrister
by a son-in-law, and every choir leader
since has been one of his descendants.
Now they have fine organ ana splen-
did choir. But, excuse me for going
into detail so much, but the memory
of old times has a strong hold on me
SO / let memory have its sway.
I'll probably go TO the National
Encampment before returning tc
Wisconsin.
Yours truly,

THE LEGISLATURE.

The proposal to increase the salary
of members of the legislature by con-
stitutional amendment, from $500 to
81, 900 for the session was defeated in
the senate Friday afternoon by a
vote of IL TO 13. Its passage was
urged by Senator Skogmo.
Another phase has entered into the
situation in the statement of men
close to the administration to the
effect, that if the central board of
education bill goes to defeat in the
legislature the governor may call a
special session next fall and demand
of the Republican members of the
legislature that they carry out what
he deems is a party pledge for the
bill. Talk of such a situation was
prominent in the corridors Friday
and it was admitted by many who
ought to know that the special ses-
sion question had been discussed.
The department of agriculture bill
in it's single commissioner form will
probably be passed by the assembly
and will be signed by the governor
if presented to him, as he regards
the measure in it's present form as
not Objectionable.
The board of public welfare bill
comes up Tuesday, having been laid
over in the senate on Friday after
noon. Absolutely no senate test has
vet been taken on this measure, and
while the prediction is that it will be
defeated by a large vote the admins
tration leaders are still making fight
for the bill.
The bills for the repeal of the
county board of education law have
gone over until Thursday. They, too
are to be bitterly contested and viii
be the feature of another senate
fight.
The senate has concurred in the
bill to repeal 100000 appropriation
to the state university. This cuts
out the building of new shop build
ing $50, 900 and $l50,000 for new art!
building, but saves the medical build
ing which is needed at cost O.
100000.
There is opposition being shown t.
the bill to permit voting by mail
which has already passed the assem-
bly, and is now before the senate.
The substitute tuberculin test bill
may pass the senate, as it is under
stood that the measure is not OBJ
jectionable and that the bill is nov
in form in which the majority o
members feel they can indorse it.
Gov. Philip will probably make al
appointment to the vacancy on thu
state labor commission before the enc
of the week. Close friends of th'
governor do not believe G. FL. Crown
hart will be reappointed.
The question of re-establishing con
ventions for platform purposes will
come up again some time this week
If the Democrats and the conserva
tive Republicans can agree on a bil
some kind of a measure on the sub
ject may be passed. If not there will
be no change in the primary law a
this session.

ing the duty of the several officers

received and filed. The usual num-
ber of bills were allowed.
Many sidewalks were ordered built
in many parts of the city.
The health officer reported con-
siderable number of contagious dis
eases in the city during the past few
months, that of any account, was 12O
cases of measles.
