MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 192 L
MANY CASES IN
.SUPREME COURT
Fall Term Opens With Ex-Presi
dent Presiding For First
f - Time
Oct. 3.—The Su
preme Court reconvened today for
the regular fall term. No cases of
national importance were placed up
on its docket during the summer re
cess.
For the first time in its history,
however, the court was presided over
by a Chief Justice who formerly was
a president of the Unite* States,—
William Howard Taft, chosen to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Edward Douglass White.
In addition to the half dozen anti
trust cases awaiting decision there
are pending several boundary and
irrigation disputes between states as
well as cases between states alleging
trade discriminations, numerous
questions arising out of government
operation </» railroads during the
war, a railroad merger case, several
cases testing the rights of organized
labor during strikes, as well as the
responsibility for losses resulting
from acts of violence during strikes,
a large number of cases in which
railroads and other common carriers
seek to have determined their liabil
ity for injuries suffered by em
ployes, several challenges by states
of the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in rate-making
and railroad control, the constitu
tionality of the prohibitory tax im
posed by the federal government
upon chill labor, numerous cases
arising out of the enforcement of
national prohibition and many land,
patent, admirality, bankruptcy, im
migration, Chinese exclusion and
miscellaneuos cases.
The court has under advisement
and may give its opinion at any time
in the Southern Pacific case, involv
ing control of the Central Pacific;
the Coronado case, brought by the
United Mine Workers, arising out of
violence during a strike in Arkansas
and (involving the liability of or
ganized labor for losses caused by
acts of violence; the Wisconein case,
in which 41 other states joined to
test the right of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to authorize in
terstate railroads to raise their rates
within a state, and the Western
Union case, in which the government
sought to prevent the laying of a
cable at Miami.
Some important cases arc to be re
argued before a full bench. These in
clude the United Shoe Machinery
cases brought under the Clayton act
la test -a contract prohibiting lessees
jF' using other machines in the
nmnufacture of shoes; the American]
Column & Lumber company case, a|
proceeding in which the government]
contends monopoly and restraint of
trade is obtained by aggreements un
der a so-called “Open Competition
Plan,” the Atherton Mills case, from
North Carolina, testing the act im
posing a prohibitory tax on the pro
ducts of mills using child labor, the
American Steel Foundries and the
Truax cases, the former from Illi
nois and the latter from Arizona, in
which the right of labor to picket |
during a strike is involved; Wyom- ]
ing’s effort to prevent the diversion ,
by Colorado of water from the Lara-]
mie river; the Standard Fashion case
involving tht? question, whether a
dealer can by contract be required
by producers to exclusively handle
their products, and the Dahnke-Wal
ker Milling company case, in which
state laws requiring persons and i
corporations engaged in business to ]
register are being contested as re- ]
strictions to interstate commerce.
At the head of the cases assigned
by the court for argument to begin
on October 10 is one of the numerous
New York gas cases based on in-]
creased rates. The next case to be |
her,rd by the court, according to
schedule, relates to prohibition regu
lations, in which Charles Cornell and 1

Price or Value
Price is the question of a moment —
Value, a proof of worth.
People who buy solely by the figures
on the price tag often pay dearly for
the service rendered. People who con
sider value frequently find it cheaper
in the end pay slightly higher prices
for a far greater amount of service j
received. Our prices are low when
quality is considered.

SOCIETY
INTERESTING MEETING
WITH MRS. EMMET.
The* officers of the Hortense Tins
ley Missionary society of the First
Methodist church held an interesting
meeting Friday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. W. 11. Emmet, near Ameri
cus, at which' time a number of new
. plans for the year’s work were dis
cussed and adpoted.
Those present were Mrs. John Shef
field, Mrs. Sam Heys, Mrs. George
Oliver, Mrs. Guyton Fisher, Mrs.
George Turpin, Mrs. John Oliver,
Mrs. Louie Grubbs, Mrs. Reese Hor
ton, and Mrs. Joe Bryan.
After the routine work had been
disposed of a social hour was enjoy
ed during which dainty refreshments
were served.

HERE’S THE STORY OF
KATCHA-KOO.
When the Music Study club an
nounced that it would sponsor a
musical comedy to be produced in
the Rylander theater October 14, the
question has been asked, “who and
what is Katc'ha-Koo?” Interest has
been stimulated by the coming of the
directors who will stage it and in
the rehearsals which are being held
daily in the B. L. E. hall.
The story is a pretty one, full of
interest, and is as follows:
Transfixed before the Maharajah’s
private Temple of Buddha, is Ras
putim, when the piece opens, is a
notorious Fakir of Hunga, by the
name of Katcha Koo. He san do in
credible stunts—like all East Indian
Fakirs—and Katcha-Kqo’s specialty
is standing for weeks perfectly im
movable without taking food. He
always selects some inappropriate
and objectionable spot so as to an
noy and irritate his victim and the
people generally. Now he has chos
en the Maharajah of Hunga as his
present victim and has placed him
self directly” in front of the great
Buddha imago. Supplications and of
ferings of rich food or gems do not
move him until ho is ready to move.
Natives only supplicate or present of
ferings for they .are afraid to make
threats as they all dread the Fakir’s
curses.
Even the powerful Maharajah him
self dare not lay hands on Katcha-
Koo though he has offered an im
mense reward to any one who can
move the Fakir. It remains for
ingenious Americans to negotiate the
job. Through the widow of a wizard
they secure a magical astral suit of
clothes, the last of its kind. Eact
separate garment retains the char
acteristick of the original owner. The i
trousers, a Frenchman’s full of po
liteness and desire to dance; the
shirt, a vagabond’s, making one care
free and happy: the vest, an Italian’s
full of love and arias; and the coat
an American’s, full of life and ‘'pep."
This magical composite garment
they succeed in getting onto Katcha-
Koo, whose career then begins. His
subsequent actions are dominated by
the trousers of the French, the shirt
of vagabond, the vest of the Italian
and the coat of the American. The
many complications and situations
•hat arise devolving upon this episode
form the fascinating and intensely in
teretsing story of the play.
