provisions of the constitution.
The court upholds the argument
of the marlborough in every respect
and states that when the public SER
vice commission law was adopted in
1921 the duty of the commission was
to make the fare sufficient to give
reasonable compensation for services
rendered. The present rates are con-
fiscatory, the court contends, and the
present suit by the Interborough
squarely raises the question of the
plaintiffs constitutional rights.
Immediately upon hearing of the
decision by the court, Traction
Jimmie Walker, mayor of the city,
by the will and support of the tran
sit interests, announced that he would
be candidate for reelection in 1929.

Jimmie Walker, in being held res

as the representative Of the Tammany

which in a dozen other respects has
been shown to have sold out the in
terests of the workers.

transit commission, AL Smiths body,

5000 unemployed workers attended
an open-air meeting in Union Square,
held under the auspices of the New
York Council of the Unemployed, and
listened to several speakers who
pointed out the persistent ignoring of
the unemployment situation on the
part Of city and state officials and
called on the workers to rally around
the demands of the Council.

A. P. Jensen Badly
Hurt By Enraged Bull

A. p Jensen, 615 miles northwest
of town, narrowly escaped a fatal &C
cident last Thursday evening when
he was gored by a bull. H. r. Buck,
a neighbor, and Mr.. Jensen, were in
the barn talking near the bull. Mr.
Buck turned his attention on some
of the other stock for minute, when
the bull attacked Mr.. Jensen, and
Buck barely got back to answer Mr.
Jensen's call for assistance. Mr.. Jen-
sen was flat on the barn floor with a
,wrenched shoulder, arm and wrist and
the enraged animal standing over him
ready to do more damage when Mr..
Buck succeeded in driving him away.
Mr.. Jensen was Immediately taken
over to DR.. w. c. Ehmke at Willow
River to be bandaged up. 1t did not
seem as though there were any bones
broken, but in order to make sure
that there are no internal injuries,
Mr. Jensen went to Minneapolis Mon
day to have X-ray pictures taken. He
is expected back home today.

SERIES OF AUTO
ACCIDENTS IN ASKOV
"Old" AskOvites Figure in Mis-
haps for Three Consecutive
Days; Cars Suffer More Than
Occupants.

1t is easy to understand that men,
bers of the younger generation who
go in for speed, can have auto acct
dents, but when four of AskOv's most
careful and sensible motorists should
meet with accidents for three conse-
cutive days, one is tempted to believe
that their wives had gone away and
left them to care for themselves.
A. Gravesen, vice president of the
bank, evidently ought to be blamed
for all of it for he started it Satur-
day. Going west from the village on
the regular highway at his usual rate
of speed-15 miles per hour-he says
that a little whirl wind came along
and snatched a bunch of papers he
was holding in his hand. The papers
were more valuable than the car, so
he promptly let go of the steering
wheel and busted himself with trying
to recover the papers. When he had
them all gathered up he found that
the car had left the road, jumped
across the ditch Gust opposite the
cemetery, too) and the front end bur-
led in the opposite embankment, the
wheels, axle and tenders having been
deformed or reformed into something
like an shape, but no damage TO
himself.
Sunday forenoon Peter Linn was
coming into town from the west, and
Emil Andersen was on his way out
of town Intending to go out the west
road. The road is wide, smooth and
unobstructed, yet it seems that it was
best to drive right in the center IF
it, and this both of them did. Mr..
Linn was interested in something on
the southeast side of the road anG
had his eyes on that, while Mr.. An
dersen was interested in something
on the northwest side and had his
attention to that. When about 10
feet from a head-on collision Mr..
Linn discovered the approaching car
and turned out sharply, just enough
so that Mr.. Andersen crashed into
the side of the car. They were
travelling only about 10 miles an hour
yet the impact was sufficient to take
off fender, running board and hub
cap from Inns car and Andersen's
suffered a broken wheel, bent axle

Attempts of the Personnel Classifica-
ton Board to cut down the salary of
Matthew w. Stirling, distinguished SCI
enlist and African explorer of the
Smithsonian Institution, were blocked
today by Controller General McCarl
In supporting the position of the
Smithsonian Institution that Mr.. Stirling
should be allocated to higher salary
than the classification board was will
ing he should have, McCarl hit square,
ly into the heart of the long-standing
battle over the Welch bill salary raise
This battle has been carried on inter-
mittently ever since McCarl issued his
orders making raises automatic under
the Welch act and allowing administra-
tive officers in departments and estab-
lishments wide latitude in fixing GER
tain salaries themselves without any
supervision from the classification
board.
Disbursers Follow McCarl.
The board, on the other hand, has
contended Stoutly that responsibility
for allocating positions under the WEIGH
act rested with it. But McCarl, the
controller general, of course, has of ne
cessity been followed by all disbursing
officers, who have made the raises au-
