have been sacrificed.
Mr.. Brady had been visiting with
friends at Davis and was intending TO

train had started to pull out when he
arrived. lie ran for the vestibule and
succeeded in gaining the steps when the
door was closed. forcing him off. He
fell between the cars and by 4 super
human effort threw himself aside just
as the heavy trucks passed his body.
Several people standing there felt sure
that he had been killed and were as
tonished to see him arise after the train
had passed.
He was taken to the home of rela-
tives at Davis and at last reports was
doing as well as could be expected. He
was considerably bruised by the fall
from the car but nothing serious is an
ticipated to result.

not be paid salaries in accordance with
the recent legislation which raised their

formally notified Chief Justice Thomas
"A. owen and the other members of
the supreme court that it is his inten
ton to withhold payment of warrants

As basis for his ruling Carter cites
section 10 Of the constitution, when
reads Except where otherwise pro
vided in this constitution in no case
shall the salary or emoluments OF any
public official be changed after his
election or appointment or during his
term of office unless by operation OF
law enacted prior to such election or
appointment"

Justice owen or some other MEMBER
of the court. either on his own account
or for the benefit of the entire court,
will begin mandamus proceedings 10
require Carter to pay the salaries
claims at the increased figure. In
that case the members Of the present
court because of their interest in the
question, would he disqualified from
hearing the proceedings and Governor
Robertson would be obliged to appoint
special justices of the supreme court
to dispose of the matter.
a few days ago members of the in
dustrial commission asked the attorney
general for an opinion regarding pay
ment of the salaries at the increased
rate. Before the opinion was delivered.
which. it is understood, held that the
increased pay could not be collected
on the theory that no state otflclal
pay could be advanced during his ten
ure OF office, the request for the opih'
inn was withdrawn,
