Gilliom's reply in part was as follows:
Appellants brief is no more than
a general denial to the causes of err
ror assigned in the petition for re-
hearing. The petition contains more
than ten printed pages. stating
twelve causes for error. Appellants
brief contains less than ten type
written pages and is addressed ex-
clusively to the petition, taking up
seriatim the twelve causes in the
petition, and it does no more than
to deny that the causes exist. 1t
contains 10 reasons, authorities or
argument, and ignores completely
appellee's ninety-page brief.
Already Decided
ut should be said, however, that
twelve times appellants brief re-
minds the court that by a majority
vote the court has already decided
the questions presented by the pc
tition. If there ever was begging
of the questions, appellant is doing
that begging. Certainly the court
decided the case, but the inquiry
here is whether the decision is cor
rect.
Appellants brief gives one the
impression that it is considered
either unsafe or else unnecessary
for him to discuss the questions"
Pointing out that attention was
called to the fact that Legislatures in
the past raised officials salaries, the
Gilliom answer states that such
suggestion is "out of place"
Reminded of Increase
1t continues: What appellant OBJ
viously sought to do was by that
means to remind the court that the
seventy-f1fth session increased the
salaries Of the judges of the Supreme
Court, who are now to decide this
case, from $500 to $4,000 per year.
No such increases to the Governor,
to the attorney general or to the
judges of the Supreme Court afford

an English phaeton buggy and two

He accumulated the curls as the

got so much fun out Of the variety
that he continued the sport until he
acquired 100 curls.

TABLE BILL TO
LET PRESIDENT
ACT IN STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 N9.-The
house commerce committee today re-
fused to report the Parker bill 10
give the executive branch of the
government authority to act in Goa;
strikes The vote was 16 to 6.
The action was interpreted by
Chairman Parker, of the COMMITTEES,
and the bills author, as tabling all
coal legislation for the session. The
measure, rejected after extended
hearing, would have given the presi-
dent, after a S0-day suspension OF
work in the coal fields, authority TO
declare an emergency. The Interstate
commerce commission then would
have been authorized to regulate
coal shipments through issuance of
priority shipment orders. The bureau
Of mines also would have been called
upon to investigate causes of the
strike and compile report on it's
findings.
Commenting on the action, Repre-
sentative Wyant of Pennsylvania, a
republican committee member, said
he opposed the bill as there is mo
warrant for the attempt to burden
the coal industry with the proposed
regulations.

Mrs. Ehlers had little to say con-
cerning the charges brought against
her husband by the widow of Gus
Ehlers, Kansas banker, whose deatn
from poisoning December 80 caused
the linking of Fred Ehlers' name
with that of his brother in an UNI

surrounding it had caused her hus-
