Modern Brotherhood Quarrel Breaks
Into Supreme Court.

Special to imes-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 24.-Justice Sal
niger alone held open court in the su-
preme court room yesterday and list
ened to an array of legal talent from
Cedar Rapids.
The case involved the Modern Broth
erhood quarrel, and the right of the
insurgents" to go to Mason City and
get possession of the books and papers
of the order in the head office and the
copying of names and addresses OF all
members for the purpose OF sending
literature to them in the fight between
the ms and the outs.
The case was in court three times
before-once before Judge Barker once
before Judge Ellison and then before
Judge Smith. 1t was the latter who
issued an order that the insurgents
might get the membership list from the
books at headquarters.
Then the defendants, the head Of
ficers. appealed to the supreme court.
and yesterday the matter came up on a
motion for dismissal of the appeal as
frivolous and without merit.
The supreme court has refused a re-
hearing in the celebrated tax case from
Floyd county. involving the collection
of the tax voted in aid of the electric
fication of the Charles City Western
railroad. There had been request for
early decision of this case so that the
tax collecting might commence at
once, and this was done. The over
ruling Of the motion for rehearing
releases taxes of about 100000.

ing in the old case from Woodbury.
