Mr. A. N. Fields, then took the floor after throwing the Alderman of the city to the seriousness as to the hard work they are organizing the city and what they hope to do in the coming week, when the campaign will be in its heights, after a general shake of hands, the committee filled an awaiting taxi and went to 5am 11am, where a supply was served and a general polligation was had. Merriam Gets Half the Vote Merrigan came within forty votes of having exactly half of the total vote on all Republican mayoral candidates, and more votes would have equaled the combined totals of all his four opponents. Seventeen out of the thirty-five wards were carried by Merrigan being the Seventh, Fifth, Sixth, Fourteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-third, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh, Tw thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, whose total vote for him was 44,572.

The most significant feature of the result to many analysts was that the Merriam vote was nearly half of the total Republican vote cast, and just about equaled the joint following of the two parties, of whom had the bucking of part of the party organization, none of which was with the alderman from the Seventh ward. For some observers this confirmed the prediction that the independent voters, meaning those not contested in the primary, would demonstrate their surmurrance. The result was taken to demonstrate fully the efficiency of the primary law in wrestling from machines the control in this control in the hands of the people. Thanks Public. Mr. A. N. Fields, Secretary of the Colored Citizens' Merriman Committee and Mr. James T. Brewington, Chairman, on behalf of the committee issued a statement of gratitude to our many friends who resisted us in securing such splendid results. Of the fifty Colored precincts controlled by our organization Ald. Merriman carried the 10th president of the 4th ward, over which Maj. John C. Buckner presides, he supported Smulsky. The Colored headquarters will remain at 2701 State street where a workers' union is located, evenning the 7th, at eight p. m. sharp. HON. CHAS. GOTTRILL PASSES THROUGH CHICAGO. The Defender reporter met Mr. Chas. A. Cottrell at the depot leaving Chicago for Honolulu, Hawaii, which will be the base of his operations since his recent appointment by President Taft to the position of Collector of Internal Revenue. There were no other Colored newspaper representatives to witness the departure of Mr. Cottrell, who was accompanied by his wife and son, and a friend, Mr. Samuel Clark. It is the opinion of the white people that Mr. Cottrell's appointment to Honolulu will not meet with the approbation of the people with whom he will come in contact. This idea has long since been banished by the assurances received from the son's chief executive, and Mr. Cottrell will be the willfully memorable sojourn. The party was entertained at a box party at the Pekin Theatre Tuesday and expressed their great delight. Mr. Cottrell wishes to leave with his American friends the thorough conviction that they need not be good acquaintance with the willful good acquaintance of himself, which will reflect nothing but praise on the nation which he represents. MR. S. S. PAUL HONORED BY BRITISH GOVERNMENT. Mr. S. S. Paul, 3605 Forest avenue, was honored during last week by the British Government by sending him his family's coat of arms. Mr. Paul was born in Canada and his forefathers fought with the British in 1775 on the phalanx with Fort Calm, when his grandfather the British flag from falling into the hands of the Americans. This gives the Pauls the right to attend the coronation and be in the front ranks in the court yard, an honor that most Americans pay to him. Mr. Paul received a letter from London inquiring as to his whereabouts, but he did not respond. Last mouth he received a letter from the British consul at Philadelphia, which he answered, and on Wednesday of last week he received a letter from the British consul made out his citizenship papers last year, after living in the United States about thirty years. Mrs. Paul will have the unique distinction of being "Lady Paul," and take it from us, she will be the only one of the race Chicago. We congratulate our distinguished citizen and hope he go to London this summer he will return to his friends. This story will only be to his friends. The defender, the paper that gets all the exclusive news and "it's been placed in his parlor. The inscription reads thus: "Pro Pega et Republic Paul," with the shield and lion's head. CHAMPION JOHNSON IN TOILS. California Jury Recommends Mercy for Jack Johnson's Traction of Speed Law San Francisco, Mar. 3, 1911—The heavyweight champion of the world was found guilty of an infraction of the speed law by a jury in Acting Judge James Conlan's court. The jury was out fifteen minutes and after an argument returned the verdict of guilty but recommended Mr. Johnson to the mercy of the Judge, who deferred sentence until a fine will be imposed. Mr. Johnson assists his attention of the country before giving up. About three or four weeks ago Mr. Johnson was summoned to court and reprimanded for allowing his automobile to stand in the street alongside a car in a nearby store. The officer who made the arrest claimed that the car attracted a mob of curious onlookers anxious to obtain a glimpse of the famous champion and champions. It seems the authorities will be to "avate."

Port Worth, Tex., Mar. 3.—For three hours a mob of 1,000 or more men and boys had full possession of the town-town section of the city. Many Negroes were beaten; scores of others were chased until they eluded the mob or found places of refuge. Thousands of dollars' damage was done to buildingss occupied by Negroes. The trouble started when a picture show for Negroes exclusively opened its doors. Stones and bricks were hurled into the building, wrecking the place and scattering its occupants. The mob then began a systematic hunt for Negroes. At the height of the trouble the excitement was increased by the accidental shooting and killing of a Negroes porter by a bartender. A hard rain dispersed the rioters. What does Texas want? A short time ago two Negroes were burned at the stake for resenting the insults of several "curs" (pardon the insult to the dog) with whom they were thrown in contact, and now since they attempt to separate themselves from the whites they are mobbed for their show of independence. There is something wrong somewhere and Texas Negroes residing in Texas at the present time need advice from stronger allies than the meek, Christian-like laborers of Texas fields, as there is absent the spark of resentment of which they are sorely in need. FLEEING DRUGGISTS CREATE SCENE. Two of Chicago's prominent drug-guards while in Gary, Ind., last Sunday, afforded that town a bit of diversion in the way of excitement by running at top speed up the main thoroughfare to the railroad station. The town turned out omnies and gave chase to the hurried supreme, until the station was reached. Upon an explanation being demanded it was learned that the boys were running to catch the train then pulling into the station, which, if they missed, would cause them to wait about three hours. It is a lucky stroke for the men of character who wanted an explanation, if for they had not been. In diana could boost of two more lynchings. Further information can be obeyed, and you can help us themselves, as they in business somewhere on 31st street in Chicago. MILITIAMEN REJIGE AT PASS ING OF PAY BILL. Washington, D. C., March 3, 1911.—The Militia Pay Bill, which gives to the militiamen throughout the country a stipulated sum for taking active part in the war, provides for the House by a majority of 159 over 124. The bill affords the militiamen enough to cover their expenses. The officers receiving from 5 to 25 per cent of regular army officers' pay, and, in addition, the officers of the Bill was proposed by the Item, Mr. Stunerson, who has been fighting for the passing of the measure for some time back. The Sth Reg., J. N. G., being a State reserve, is affected by this. The reserves, is affected by this. Each of its members will receive pay for their services in the future.

THE NEGRO FAST ASLEEP Will he Ever Awakes—Will He Begin to Protect his Home and Family or Will he be Relegated Like an Alien in his Home Land. STRIKE NOW, OR NEVER. The Younger Elements Are Now Place- ed in a Position to do or Die. They are the Younger More is Expected of Them. They Must Learn Trades and Be Real Mon. By R. C. Pin. Is the Chicago Negro one to sleep? Where was he Feb. 22 when ex-President Roosevelt was in the city? Why did not your son march with the 2,000 boy scouts that paraded the city streets? Why wasn't your boy sitting at his feet when the ex-President spoke to 5,000 foreigners' children at Hull House? These people who, in the next generation, will be your mayors and aldermen. Yes, even your governors. Where has the big Negro gone? Why wasn't he at one of the many boards on Wednesday to do honor for the race? They, too, "My God," are asleep. We wonder if that has weakness that they are not going where they are not wanted? Well! when the sheriff wants men to quell a riot or to make an arrest he is at liberty to call on the police services. Then why not to go all public places where you are not wanted? MRS.

Merrigan, Republic candidate for Mayor, belongs to a family like our first President. Here it is important to reiterate that George Washington was a man who never told a lie. Mr. Merrigan recently told us in a meeting at the Palace Theatre, after old vet Montague had interrupted his speech by injecting the proclivities of war, that his (Merrigan's) father enlisted into the army at the age of sixteen, as but as he was two years under age, in order not to tell a lie, he took a slip of paper, marked it 18 and put in his shoe and then stood up. When his age was asked he shouted: "I am over 18, sir." He won. So did his son in one of the greatest test elections of the age. He should be, our next mayor, and we trust that all Defender subscribers and readers will see to it that this man who stands for great things and an equal chance for all men he elected. at the First Regiment Armory April 20, 1911.

THE RAILROADS IN THE RAILROAD CENTER By John R. Winston. A Scranton dispatch quoted President Trudalee, of the Lackawanna, as confirming the report that he had declined to accept the presidency of the Pacific Coastal Commission for 100,000 a year. It was known that the office had been offered to Trudalee, but it was not known that it paid $100,000 a year. The rumor brought out a new name as a possible incumbent Feb. 23 in the person of S. M. Pelton, former president of the Chicago Great Western. It seems that some of the new controlling interests strongly urged Mr. Felton's selection. The Rock Island is to have a new "Short Line" from St. Paul to Kansas City through the acquisition by the St. Paul and Kansas City R. R. Company of Iowa, which is owned by the Rock Island of most of the stock and bonds of the St. Paul and Des Moines Railroad. Railroad which operates a Des Moines Des Moines north to Mason City, Iowa, at which point connection is made with the Chicago-St. Paul line of the Rock Island. A new line will be built from Allerton, In., which is on the Chicago-Kansas City line of the Rock Island northward to Carlslea, In., which is near Des Moines. The road has the right to operate from Carlslea into Des Moines, where ten miles of connection at Des Moines the Rock Island will secure the shortest line between Kansas City and St. Paul. This news is direct from Wall street, New York City, so you can depend upon it being correct. When you read anything in the Chicago Defender you can depend on it in case anyone doubts you.

Notice to the readers of the Chicago Defender. It pays to trade with the people who advertise in the Chicago Defender, and on the other hand it pays to those who do not advertise in the paper with the big circulation and receive good results. Statistics show that without question Chicago is the greatest Rail Road Center in the world, far ahead of New York, Kansas City or St. Louis. There are 23 trunk lines entering the city from all directions and 12 Belt lines in and around the city on which more trains, both freight and passenger leave and arrive daily than in any city in the world. So you can easily account for the title of this column given by John W. Rinston of the Railroad Center. If you live in the sixth ward vote the service of the Pullman Co., over for Hon.

It is believed the proposed changes will be in the interest of both economy and efficiency, one or more of the new directors will be placed on the executive committee which now is composed of George J. Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Fred T. Gates, J. J. Slocem, C. S. Clarke, E. T. Jeffery, and Kingdon Gould. The retirement of C. S. Clarke from the directorate at the annual meeting will leave a vacancy in the executive committee which will be filled by new directors, and it is possible the place of another of the Gould men on the executive committee will be taken by one of the new directors. Plaus for improving the property require some time to work out, but it may be said the new interests purpose to direct their energies toward bringing the physical condition of the system up to a higher standard.

Winchell, Florida Head, Asceria Sports Authority. SQUARE DEAL IS WANTED. Carriers Ask that the People Meet Them Half Way in all Public Matters. Railway managers are now and have for several years been trying to take the railways out of politics, according to H. L. Winchell, president of the Police Railroad System. The report was written by G. J. Lee, who needed it not alone their fault, but ways, in an open letter written in reply to a request for an expression on several public relations. The report was by the editor of the Western Methodist, "I know personally," says Mr Winchell, "that they are extremely anxious." In the morning, he was told to go to the way of legislation on a high moral plane, they want to take their case directly to the people and are doing so more and more. Will the people plan fairy with the people? Will the people plan a way to listen to spirit affairs to the presentation by railway managers of the facts about the Railway business and then the same spirit sent to the L.A. of the L.A. of the铁路, because it is to be put on the Railway commissions none but men who will have honesty and public spirit enough to try to give the way a sign of the law and in the case through it? It? Railway men also severely hope that the people elected to this year after the people elected to the legaljuice and the people who are deliberately and successfully might be wholly and successfully. The members of the "O.C. and H. A. T." the railways by introducing all manner of strike, in other words blackened the people who are the world who are represented the railways struck guilty bargains with the law makers who represented the people, were the railways who were the people who were so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so Unfair Comparison are Fought.

WOMEN CABBIES ARE HUMANE Horses Much Better Kept Than Men's, Paris Finds. The League for the Protection of the Horse, which exists in Paris, slight as may seem the results it obtains, has been making an inquiry into the lot of the Paris cab horse, and its report of the result lays special stress on the superior condition of horses of cabs driven by women as compared with those driven by men. The women cab drivers were found to be uniformly kind to their horses and scarcely ever to use the whip, and were often seen giving them some little delicacy to eat. At one of the largest stables where cabs are let to drivers the league was told of a mare named Rosette which was so vicious and bad tempered that no driver was willing to take her out. One of the women drivers asked for her and treated her so well that she became a tractable and useful animal. $10,000,000 TO AMUSE PARIS Tax Figures Indicate Total Spent During 1909.

This tax is now paid by the public, the managers having raised their prices a year ago sufficiently to cover it. Houses & Flats For Rent.

MY FRIEND FROM DIXIE An organization said to be the acme of Colored musical comedy stars will be seen at the Globe next Sunday in J. Leubrie Hill's season's big hit, "My Friend From Dixie." Nothing has been left undone to make this the most elaborate and entertaining Colored musical show ever seen in this city. The first act is laid in Virginia on the plantation of Jasper Green. In this scene many people are played by boys and boys. Chief among the party of forty people who offer the above, is J. Leubrie Hill, a character comedian identified with the best Colored offerings in America. Hill plays a real type of Colored wench from the country, who later attempts to force her way into society by the liberal use of money. Nothing could be more ridiculous, funny than the awkward manners of a girl who more about corn pone or bacon than wining and dining in society. The antie is advertised to make a horse laugh. There is an abundance of catchy music by Will H. Vodrey, the Sousa of the Colored race. Among the many are "Molasses Candy," introduced by Will Brown, the warmest baby in town. Brown is the best neat comedian since Walker retired. His partier show is low comedian of the Williams type, and the most original dance on the stance. Others of note are Louis Mitchell, Leona Marshall, Mamie Butler, Evan Robinson, late of Cole and Johnson Company. This will be the largest Colored musical show here this season.

There was a tornado of fun and an earthquake of joy sure enough at the Globe. The building was still standing at the time when J. Leublin Hill, the first of the three, had once been in a star in "My Friend From Dixie," to a house that was completely filled. The book and that which he made by Mr. Hill, the only one which made by Will H. Voody, a composer of some note, was level in splendor and quickness, quite as if it were to a play. The building was still not at last was too mildly conceived. The Hill Company which is young at present has excellent material among some of its best-known artists, and has been a turn as everybody who can do anything at all is given an opportunity. J. Leublin Hill, the first of the three, was the foremost musical company, because he was with quite a bit of experience. In the character of Mandy Lee, which is the first of the three, he was a very good and well-known ballet-theater-master of the boards, was true to life and therefore brightened by his charm. Mr. Hill's is a celular-theater, and has been a character of the most celebrated by next season. He has a character as his wording and conception of the character was all that could be desired and in the most of all the most beautiful. He is a people scream, Richard W. Shelton came in for second honors. His work as a comedian was exceptionally good and will win him the奖杯. He is the only one to have his course in his own original way. Lola A. Mitchell was decidedly clever as old J. Leublin Hill, the only one who had a real sense of the art, but he has no one being a voice and magnetism to go with him. Will Brown was another good actor, of the George Walker and the same kind as the other two. He was an artistic polish and he will have to learn the true art of making up as well as others of this company. Leona Marshall and Evelyn L. L. are the two of the three, who have the most of the spot light and Mayme Butler is an excellent contrato sang excellently in a melancholy manner. He is a great man in the world. He is a suffrastee was acceptably new. Others in the cast were Julia Gideon. Daisy Brown, Hattie Ackers, Ollie Leonard, Ar-Carrick, and L. L. Minor. Chas. H. Wood and Tiny Ray. There is great need of a prima donna in the company. The quartette and quintette did well and the choruses were lively and well sung. This company is not only a dark horse that had entered in but a new revelation which proves after all that white managers are still inclined to accept anything with sufficient merit to assure a safe return in box office receipts. This company which is now the best leading Colored attraction, as a whole, on the road and playing the best class of houses will need new scenery and costumes next season and a careful rearrangement of some of its situations both in story and music. LOST AND FOUND REPEATED AT THE PEKIN. Lost and Found was repeated at the Pekin to large houses by Jesse A. Shipps capable players and he used good judgment in selecting a popular success. Allie Gillam again scored heavily in his travesty on Veste Victoria and his tramp comedy was overjoying. Shelton Brooks as Bert A. Williams again created much merriment. Fanny Wise sang "Every one loves some one" and made her usual big hit—if that is what encores mean. Marie E. Burton sang one of the classics in the style and her thrilling showed worthy art conception. The rest of the company in their usual parts did well. VINCENT DRAWS WITH SCHULTZ. The Pekin was packed on Tuesday evening when the incense, the Black Panther and the white wrestlers in the field. The match lasted one hour to a draw, and the house manager Motts was all anxiety throughout the performance of his star who was much less than the white man. Another meeting was started for Friday evening as usual. HANDANA POEUR AT THE MONOGRAM. The Monogram was filled as usual to welcome the guests. The finest singet quartet in the business. The comedy work of J. M. (Icey) Thomas was performed by John Hawkins and Honey Taply. The goodbar a genuine tenor whose range is sweet and clear was heavily enriched in he and Alyn were good comedy entertainers, singers and dancers. Miss Pauline Monologue, a white woman her monologue, proved to be a good second week holder in her highly pleasing dance. Two white women on the bill to help solve the race problem in Colored Theatres. GOOD BILL AT THE GRAND. The Grand had a bill that was exceptionally good. Bailey and Bailey were excellent entertainers of a high class order. The manager featured a feature specially in his lasses case. Goldie Crosby, as would be expected, gave a captivating performance, specializes and Monroe Tabor, the sweet tenor singer, and yodler of the Georgia music scene, and Jennings a white team of eccentric comedy actors and comic crayon artists, pleasure, and variety to their performance. AIDA OVERTON WALKER AT WEBERS. All the people who ventured out to see the everlasting ahmen of the Smart Set Company were drawn to see Mrs. Walker, the most fascinating and vivacious female comedy actress the Negro race has ever produced. Her male specialty, "That's why they call me shine," held the audiences spellbound. Mrs. Walker may as well assert herself and demand a company of her own, or else take a trip to Europe. Certainly there are no other stars in the Smart Set Company, while she is on the stage. Miss Brown and Miss Anderson sang excellently in two numbers that speak highly for James T. Brynn as a composer. Will Grundy gave a much improved performance. Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles have arrived from the East for one week's visit before going west. \(^{*}\) \(^{*}\) \(^{*}\) Murphy and Francis are at the Pekin in Cincinnati owing to a large number of requests, they have been offered a return date or go back to Chicago. Bert Murphy N has just been made an offer to star by a new York manager, which he is to consider. * Dink Stewart of the Stewart Brothers informs me progressing not by benefit, but by the aid of his brothers labor. Dink is a good friend and manager will no doubt give film ample work. Joe Simms and Walter Thompson played the Galley during the last half of the week and play at the Garrick Theatre next week. Mr. Thompson when I saw that his name had been omitted unintentionally in a recent Freeman article. He is a nice man young gentleman and I no apologized. There was a wide range of differences in opinion last week regarding Miss Hazel inter-Inter-Governmentalized her work severely, but the Chicago Inter-Government gave her a flattering notice to produce it. "She gave evidences of appropriate technical gifts and a good degree of apprehension to her content. Her program was worse in her demands, but her success was deserved." GERMANY'S PLAN IS FOLLOWED Low Rates Made to Boarders Who Act as Tutors to Girls Who as Pupils Do All Housework—Karlsruhe's Experience Shows Good Results and Eventual High Wages. The servant girl problem is beginning to worry our stald and conservative cousins over in England, and in order to help in its solution the city of Brighton has embarked upon a new venture. With the approval of the town council of Brighton there will shortly be opened in that city a school to train girls for domestic positions. A house has been secured as a boarding house, the boarders to be teachers. The entire household work will be performed by the students under the supervision of the teachers. Girls will be sent to the house for certain periods to learn every branch of domestic work thoroughly and practically. The institution of this school is the result of the fact that servant girls are so frequently blamed for the way in which they perform their domestic duties, when as a matter of fact the majority of them have never been properly trained. German Model Taken. The Brighton school will be modeled on that at Karsruhe, in Germany, which is an excellent training school established by the Baden Women's union. At this place several women of limited means are provided with an unfurnished room, coal, light and board and attendance for from $270 a year and up, according to the size of the room. All the work of the house is performed by girls from fifteen to nineteen years of age, who pay about $90 for the privilege. The girls must possess the necessary qualifications of a good character, a satisfactory education, etc. In cases where the girls cannot pay the tuition in full they are given some help. The tuition is not the chief end of the school, but instead it is constantly borne in mind that the school was established to train the girls to be more efficient and more valuable. Boarders Are Mentors. The principal meals are served in a common dining room, though the boarders may have them served in private by paying something extra. The object of the course is to fit the pupils for all round practical service, and no attempt is made to teach them anything superfluous to the sound workable understanding of the duties to be performed. The boarders take a great interest in the students and frequently are able to get them work. The head of the house is a thoroughly practical, motherly housewife, and a pleasant home atmosphere pervades the place. A girl who has taken a course in this school is able to command a considerably higher wage than a "green" girl and also has a better chance to secure a position. A LONG WASH DAY. It Lasted a Week, but Came Only Four Times a Year. Every one has heard of the German and Dutch method of accumulating soiled clothes and of having a wash day only two or three times a year. Not every one realizes, perhaps that the custom was brought over to this country from Holland and that the Dutch settlers long continued its practice. In these days of the ever ready laundry it is strange to read of the laborious period which came to our New Amsterdam ancestors four times a year. Helen Everston Smith tells about it in "Colonial Days and Ways." The custom of quarterly clothes washings was maintained notwithstanding our summer heats and the immense quantities of clothes necessary to keep up the state of cleanliness required by Dutch instincts. A New Englander who had married a citizen of New York writes in 1760 of this practice, which was undoubtedly strange to her: PHONE HYDE PARK 3411 MME.

Fine Wines, Liquors and Cigars Our Specialty --- --- HENRY JONE A. F. CODOZ her quarterly wash this week that she has time only to send her love." The washing was done in an outhouse called the bleekeryen, where the water was bolled in immense kettles and all the other processes of the laundry work carried on. The work required not less than a week, frequently two weeks. During the time preceding this cruelly hard labor the soiled clothes were accumulating in very large hampers of open basketwork. This custom originated the necessity for the great stores of linen with which every bride was provided. PARSLEY SUPERSTITIONS Sister Beliefs Associated With the Plant In England. Many superstitions are connected with the herb parsley, probably through an ancient Greek practice, the graves of the dead being strewn with it and the plant thereby gaining a sinister significance. In Hampshire it is considered very unlucky to give a root of this herb away, since they say that if this be done ill luck will fall upon them. In Devonshire to transplant parsley is likewise to commit a serious offense against the guardian genius who presides over the plants. In Suffolk it is said that if parsley be sown on Good Friday it will grow well and flourish, but if it be sown on any other day it will not come double. In Shropshire they have a saying that where parsley grows in the garden "th missis is master." In Buckinghamshire parsley is regarded as a somewhat uncanny herb, and an old gardener once assured me on hearing me lament that the seed I had sown had not come up that it was necessary to sow parsley for nine times before one could get any to grow. This saying I have heard later in Shropshire, where they say the devil takes all but the last. Likewise, too, in Shropshire they say that to transplant parsley will bring about a death—Westminster Review. Vacuum Street Sweeper Arthur Seymanski, an Austrian civil engineer, has invented a street cleaning machine which does not raise any dust. It consists of a motorcar with a revolving brush which not only sweeps up the dust, but throws it into a large funnel, from which it is sucked up and deposited in a metal box. The dust is not left on the street to be collected later or scattered again by the wind. The box can be removed when full and be replaced by an empty one. The wagon is driven by a twenty-eight thirty-two horsepower motor and can sweep eleven miles of street an hour. Notice to the Public. There was a bill brought against the Chicago City Railway Company and the American Car and Foundry Company for damages amounting to Ten Millions $10,000,-000) Dollars to E. R. Robinson. The Circuit Court of the United States gave defendants the judgment against E. R. Robinson. The same took his patent and the damages which his bill called for and gave them and the costs which Robinson paid out of his own pocket to defendants. (The Chicago City Railway Company and the American Car and Foundry Company.) He appealed his case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. That court ruled, to wit: "Whereof, it is now herein ordered and adjudged by this court that the judgment of the said Circuit Court in this case be and the same is hereby reversed with costs." (The following shows that the court said to the clerk if we have not said enough in our opinion—to assess the damages according to the fact of the declaration why you do so, when it said further, to wit:) "You therefore, are hereby commanded that such further proceedings be had in said cause as according to right and justice and the Laws of the United States ought to be had the sail Wrtl ofd Error not with standing. Witness: the Honorable Melville W. Fuller, Chief Justice of the United States." (This took place on the 2nd day of January, A. D. 1907, The plaintiff in error made this motion to file the mandate of No. 1313 in case No. 27178, to-wt:) "Motion of plaintiff for leave to file the mandate in case No. 27178 and the costs with his costs taxed in this court and that execution issue therefore." (The court below received the reversed judgment when it made this order, to-wit: "F. R. Robinson vs. Chicago City Railway Company et al., 27178 on motion of plaintiff's attorney, leave is hereby given the plaintiff to file the mandate from the United States I Crcult Court of Appeals reversing the judgment (which was given against Robinson and the Court of Appeals gave it back to him when it ruled on the 2nd day of January, A. D. 1907) entered here in on the 9th day of January 1906 with costs, etc." This finishes case No. 2717 and any one that says that any one has or can move from the court's order which was made in case No. 2718 on the 20th day of February, A. D. 1907, is a lie, because the law says, to-wit: "Where (the court) reverses the decree it does so at the appellate's costs, so when (the court below) received the mandate it will have nothing to do but to tax those costs and enter a decree therefore and from such a decree there is no equi" This is the law and is found in Walker on Patents Pages 498 and 499, paragraph 666 (3rd Ed.). The only thing in the way of this judgment was and is that the clerk's refused to obey the court's order which was made on the 20th day of February A. D. 1907, and that was to issue the execution papers. Judge George A. Carpenter has on the 31st day of January, A. D., 1911 allowed Elbert R. Robinson's motion to be filed that asks that the clerk show cause why they do not issue the execution papers, and if any one says different, it is a lie, and may to conaplo to injure E. R. Robinson by public statement and they will be called to court to answer for such. This is by the patented himself, Dr. E. R. Robinson, No. 2718, State v.
