SUPREME COURT HAS
REGISTRATION CASE

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. 13--
Arguments were concluded today IN
the Supreme Court on the petition OF
Fred l.. Fox, Democratic leader in the
senate, for a pre-emptory writ or man
damus to prohibit clerks of the House
of Delegates and Senate from incor'
porating in the record of the final ses-
sion of the special legislative session
additions, which he alleged, were IL
legally made to the new. reglstratlon
Bill. Permission was given counsel
to file additional affidavits later. a
The position assumed by the re-
spondents in the proceedings before
the Supreme Court of Appears by
which Senator Fred l.. Fox seeks 10
restrain the publication OF the acts or
the extraordinary session OF the !egls-
Iature containing alleged forged In.
serts in the registration bill, Is that
the bill in question, having passed
both houses of the legislature and
been signed by the presiding officers
of those branches and by the Governor
and later delivered to the Secretary
of State, has become law.
1t is maintained that the courts
have no jurisdiction to compel the
clerks of the legislature to make any
changes, either in the bill or IN their
journals.
Counsel for the petitioner, insists
that the bill which was passed by the
legislature and signed by the Cover
nor is not the same bill in every par,
ticular as that which 1t is now pro-
posed to put into effect as a law. II
was the further contention Of the peti'
ttioner that it is within the province
! of the Supreme Court to determine
whether the bill was passed by the
| legislature in accordance with the pro-
visions of the constitution.
