Gerymander Appeal Didn't Fare
Well With Supreme Court
People Have Some Rights

Columbus, o., April 18.-The Su>
preme Court late this afternoon up
held the referendum last fall which
defeated the Sprague Congressional
redistricting act.
The Supreme Court refused the
application of David Davis of Gin
cinnati, who sought the mandamus
Secretary of State Hildebrandt to
instruct all election officials to dis
regard the Congressional gerryman-
der enacted by the Democratic Leg
islature two years ago and to act in
accord with the provisions of the
Sprague measure. The courts de-
cision does not disturb present poll
tical conditions.
In announcing its ruling the
court held that a referendum on a
Congressional gerrymander does not
violate the Federal constitution.
The court ruled that such referen-
dunn constitutes part of the States
legislative machinery. Attention
was directed by the court to an act
of Congress passed in 1911 which is
construed as authorizing a referen-
dunn on a Congressional gerryman-
der.
The courts action was unani-
NOUS Argument in support of the
application for mandamus was pre-
sented by Attorney j. Warren Kei-
fer of Springfield and former United
States District Attorney Sherman T.
Mcpherson of Cincinnati. The suit
was opposed by Attorney General
Turner, former Attorney General
Hogan, former Governor Campbell
and Attorney Edmond H. Moore of
Youngstown, member of the Demo
cratic National committee.

ILI-LUCK FOLLOWS THEM
decatur Democratl

Jacob Goldblock, Of Cincinnati, a
horse buyer famed over the Central
States, was seriously injured in an
automobile accident three miles east
of Decatur, Wednesday at 4 o'clock
when the Ford in which he was be-
ing brought to Decatur from Celina,
o., turned over
The driver of the car, Ferd Krie-
gel of Celina, had his knee badly la
cerated and was shaken up consider
ably by the jolt, being unconscious
for fifteen minutes. Goldberg has
no bones broken but is bruised all
over. He is at the Murray hotel in
care of friends.
Witnesses of the accident say the
car swerved unsteadily and took to
the ditch where it toppled over. They
rushed to the scene of the accident,
finding Kriegel unconscious, and
Goldblock attempting to crawl out of
the wreckage. Goldblock recently
came out of q hospital from six
weeks stay for broken nip. Kriegel
just left the hospital last Thursday
after a long siege of brain fever.
Kriegel speaking of the accident
last night said that he was running
along at 1S miles an hour when the
machine struck a rut. This broke
the bolts on the steering gear leav-
ing the machine free to climb any
thing in sight. That's all Krigel re-
members Luther How're, machinist
at the Kalver-Noble garage, who in
vestigated the machine thoroughly
when it was brought in said this
morning that the gear was all right
and that some other cause for the
accident existed.
The machine sthe property of the
Chivington livery stable of Celina,
o. 1t had its top badly brokn up and
the upper gear was damaged to some
extent. The machine was in shape
to run under it's own power and this
morning a local chauffer drove the
car home taking Kriegel along. DR..
Earl Coverdale, attending Mr.. Gold
block said that his condition while
serious need not necessarily be fatal,
as no bones were broken and there is
little evidence of internal injuries.
He was badly bruised however,
