James Creighton OF the SangamoE
county court granted John B. Fergus
an injunction today restraining State
Treasurer Andrew Russell from pay
ing numerous items in the omnibus
bill passed by the last legislature, on
the ground that the money so appro-
priated was for officers of the state
and therefore unconstitutional.
Deciding that the governors man

Creighton refused to grant an injunc-
ton restraining State Treasurer Rus

of the mansion.
The court held that $4,000 appro-
priated for travelling expenses for
Lieut.. Gov. Barrett O'Hara was uncOn~

The appropriation of SIS, 900 to the
attorney general to prosecute litigation
with the Illinois Central railroad was
held to be entirely not unconstitutional
and an injunction against it was de-
denied.

Paris, Aug. 2S.-Four German mil

a raid on Paris this morning. They
were attacked by French air flotilla
and one of the German machines was
shot 20 pieces in mid-air.
The German machines crossed the
French lines flying at a great height
and driving toward the city of Paris.
When over a point north of the cap
ital, they sighted a Frerch air flotilla,
which was waiting for them, and
three of the German aeroplanes
wheeled about and headed for the
German lines.
Two of the German machines
escaped, but one was out distanced by
it's pursuers and was riddled by bull
let's. 1t fell flaming into the forest<of
x latte, where the burned bodies cf
two aviators were found.
The fourth machine dropped five
bombs at MOntmorency, a town fif-
teen miles from Paris No one was
hurt. The batteries at Montmorency
opened fire on the aeroplane, but it
got away in the haze.
Travellers arriving in Paris by train
from the north can see at almost any
hour from ten to fifteen French war
planes in the air at the same time,
