Supreme Court Justices
Received by President

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-For the
first time since 1918 President Wilson
received to-day the Justices of the
United States Supreme Court, who
called to pay their respects. The court
convened at noon after its summer re-
cess and adjourned immediately until
tomorrow so the Justices might visit
the White House
The annual visit to the President
was omitted last year because of Mr..
Wilson's illness. President Wilson re
ceived Chief Justice White and the
other members Of the court, who were
accompanied by Attorney General
Palmer and Solicitor General Frier-
son, in the Blue Room. The recep-
ton lasted only few minutes.
The court reconvened to find q
docket crowded with important cases.
Besides half a dozen antitrust suits,
matters pending included further at
tacks on the prohibition amendment,
suits to test the constitutonality of
the profiteering section of the
food control act and of the Federal
farm loan act, appeals in the Newberrv
election case and many others. Of
ficials expect that cases designed to
test the constitutionality Of the suf-
frage amendment also will reach the

gear and fittings forward. During the
tempestuous weather the passengers
were ordered to keep off the decks.
Few of them cared to venture out. as
many were seasick. The blow began
Monday night and eased off early
Wednesday morning.
Among We passengers was Joseph

to Denmark, who was accompanied by

The ultimate dismissal OF the Utility

Governor Edwards. He made the
boards administration the target of
vigorous attacks throughout his cam

lowing his inauguration would be to
oust the members from Office. Public
sentiment against the board has been
aroused throughout the state through
the ease with which utility corpora
lions have received authority for in
creased rates, and dissatisfaction
reached a climax several months ago
when Jersey City filed charges alleg-
ing misconduct in Office and neglect of
the interests of the public, and asking
for the removal of the members

 In Garden county, MT. Scott states, there is plenty of water and the run of the range for cows with calves is at the rate of $1.50 a month, board for the yearlings being placed at $1. a month. The range is mostly on the railroad and is 300 miles from Omaha For reference Scott gives the Bank of Lewellen.
 Dr. R. J. flight of the live stock sanitary board declares there is plenty of range in Arizona for the cattle. Up to the present time conditions have been excellent, he states, with a fine fall, good winter and excellent spring season. The need of rain, however, would soon make itself felt.
