federal court here today. Tho object
or the suit is to prevent the landing
ON american soil by ii British com
pany, IN cooperation with the defend
ant telegraph company. OF q ca',le
which now extends from the Bar
badoeS to Brazil.
The government alleged I'm its
pleadlngS that the contemplated cable
IS monopolistic, as it holds an cXclu-
SlNe franchise from the government
OF Brazil, which provides that no
other company may connect by sub
marine cable any two of the points
Within Brazil touched by the lines
of the British company.
IN" pleading also rCcitcd that the
polcy OF The government for the past
fifty years has been to secure for
American citizens the right To main
tain and operate cables between The
United states and foreign countries
on a basis of equality with citizens
Of other nations.
The practical effect of the Brazil
ian monopoly. il is alleged. is to shut
OF the right Of an American COM
pany in the future Of laying direct
cable between Brazil and the United
States; This would preclude The pos
sibility Of connecting Rio dc Janeiro
and other cities Of the Brazilian sea-
board directly with the United states

In the absence of permission TO
land the cable on the Florida coast
IN August. 1920, the Western Union
Tclesraph Company, the pleadings
alleged, caused the British ship CO.
lonla TO proceed To Miami for the
purpose of connecting that point with
the Barbados by cable. Naval officers.
acting under orders from the secre-
tary of the navy, boarded the British
ship and gave warning that any at
tempt 10 land the cable OH American
mainland would be resisted by force.
Thereafter the Colonia proceeded TO
lay the cable up TO the three mile
limit. one end Of the cable remains
three miles off the coast Of Florida
while guards are still maintained to
prevent surprise landing at Miami.
To circumvent the nature Of max
ing landing at Miami the defendant
company spliccd the Barbados line,
making connection at COjimar, four
miles ftom Havana, Cuba, thence TO
Key West. President Wilson then re-
vokcd the permit for one Of the ca

A Bit Of History


was q time In the history OF the Unit
ed States when S52. representing a
years loss or saving TO members of
congress-, was a vital factor In the
consideration OF proposed moving
OF the seat OF government, and. ac-
cording to an officer of that same con-
sress. $50 a year was mo trifiing
consideration"
This bit OF history IS contained In
letter written by Charles Thomson,
secretary Of the Continental Congress
during the several years OF It's exist
ence TO his wife Hannah, an aunt OF
President William Henry Harrison.
The letter IS dated Princeton, August
81. 1TS3. the congress then being in
session In she New Jersey town, and
was addressed to- "Mrs. Thomson,
Corner OF Spruce and 4 Street, Phil
adeiphia."
1t was proposed that the residence
or congrt - be removed % Elizabeth
town, N. J.. but. according to the let
ter. there was opposition on the
ground that lodging" In Elizabeth
towr would cost 81 a week, whereas
IL could be obtained for SO a week in
Princetown. Whether the high cost
OF living In Elizabethtown finally
swayed the congress in rejecting it Is
not disclosed, but history records
that the congress met In Annapolis,
Md, after leaving Princeton. and at
no time sat at Elizabethtown.

came into the possession OF Mrs. Rex
Worthington. Of Harrison, a descend :

OF the arguments Judge Shipp an

casc and announce mis- decision on
tomorrow.
IL will be remembered that Carlos
Corbett was acquitted OF killing Bry-

OF court. The case still attracts a
great deal OF attention and large
crowds were present In the court room

When the solicitor called the de-
fendant to the dock he, through his

could not be tried the second tine.
The state interposed a demurrer in

He was followed by IT. NJ. Raysor.
Col. Adam III. Moss and Solicitor Hyd-
rick. who contended that the plea
could not be sustained because there
was nora than one offcnse and that
the killing OF each man constituted

Col. Adam II. Moss then submitted
further argument for the state,
contending that the plea could not be
sustained because different shots
