Boise, Idaho * (b t some length and while he admits the question is a close one, he holds with the defendant upon every point raised. C. F. Reddocli states he will perfect an Immediate appert to the supreme court and will file the same on Monday. After holding that the act Is a legis lative one and not a Judicial one and is therefore submlssable to a referendum vote under the Black law, the court says; The 8unday Rest Law. "The next argument of the plaintiff, and It seems to me to be the strongest advanced In support of plaintiffs posi tion, is that the Sunday rest law con fers upon the city council the power of action, Instead of conferring It ex pressly upon the city. It is argued that this is an express grant of power to the council and exc' ides the reserve power of legislation which Is granted to the people of the city through the referen dum, which applies only where the power is vested in the city as dis tinguished from the council. This is a ' very Ingenious and clever argument. It ! presupposed a dictinctlon between the grant of power to a elt and a grant of power to Its council as the law-making power of the city, and unless such a distinction exists It seems to me that the argument must fail. In some cases the statutes confer power upon the city. but even In those cases the statutes say that the city may act by ordinance : or by law. Revised Codes, sec. 2238, ses sion laws 191V chapter 81, p. 266. This demonstrates that the legislature re cognizes and intent's that the ordinary method of legislation by cities Is by ordinance, an 1 thus by the act of the council. In other cuu the vrttnt of power la to the council directly. There la nothin* In the atatutea to conv'nce me that there la any Intent to dis tinguish between the two cases, but on the other hand I am satisfied that the leglslaure used the term 'city* and "city council' In the same sense lnthls connection. I am therefore unable to sea how the use of the word 'city council' necessarily excludes the refer endum. I think that the referendum ap plies whether the power In question la expressly »ranted to the city or to the council as the law-making body of the dty." Must Be Construed Together. Concluding his decision Judge Mo Carthy says: ''The Su. day rsst law and th- Black law which confers the right of refer endum must be read and construed to gether. The fundamental question In this ca_ j Is whether the legislature meant to make the action of the'coun cil final In the matter of the Sunday rest law In Black law cities, and ex clude the right of the referendum con ferred by another act of the same legislature upon such cities. For the reasons given above It Is my Judgment that this question should be answered in the negative. "The demurrer Is sustained. I do not suppose that the plaintiff will care to amend, but will stand on the legal questions so skilfully conceived and so ably argued by his counsel. If the plaintiff does not care to amend, the writ of prohibition heretofore issued will be quashed and judgment will be for the defendants." CARRANZA FACES CRISIS (Continued from First Page) who checked an Incipient attack on the consulate, afterwards called out his command and dispersed the rioters. Consul H. A. Coen and eight other American residents were given refuge in the homes of friendly Mexicans, according to the story brought here today. ''We'll have war with the United States soon enough without you peo ple fomenting trouble In this way," the Carranza colonel Is reported to have shouted to the crowd as he made a show of force with a pistol. The same sentiment was attributed to General Jacinto Trevino at Torre on, wdb was reported to have made preparations to Intern Americans In that district If they did not accept his proffer of a special train to the border. British Consul Patrick O'Shea Is look ing after the American interests there in the absence of the United States consul, who left hls post early In the crisis following Villa's raid on Colum bus. Trevino Is reported to have entered into negotiations with Generals Can uto Reyes. Cisneros and two other bandit chiefs of the Laguna district for their surrender to the de facto gov ernment In return for amnesty. Later Durango advices over Mexican tele graph lines, reported that Cisneros had made hls peace with the Carranza gov ernment and that the situation around Durango was Improved. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SITUATION EX PECTED AT CAPITAL Washington, April 23.—(Sunday)— The presence of Secretary of War Baker end other army officers at the war department until after 12:30 a. m. today, and the receipt of several dispatches, gave rise to the belief that I perhaps developments of major portance had been reported or were expected. No Information had been announced up until 12:30, No officials previous ly had remained at the department after midnight At 1:15 Secretary Baker declared there was nothing in messages already received, which he could make pub lic. He had been apprised, however, that a long cipher message would be filed at. San Antonio.

Brand's Grill, A24 CITY Of WEISER WINS ITS CASE ■ Decision Is Given Against New First National Bank of Columbus. The alternate writ la quashed and the> peremptory writ of mandate denied In the case of the New First National Bank of Columbus versus the City of Weiser, by a decision handed down last night by the supreme court. The original proceedings before that tri bunal required the city authorities of the city of Welser to pay the funds arising from assessments made In a certain Improvement district In a cer tain way. The decision is written by Chief Justice Sullivan and concurred In by his associates. In this case the plaintiff bank sought to require the officials of Welser to apply moneys now available In local Improvement districts Nos. 6 and 7, as well as all moneys hereafter to be re ceived, In the funds, first. In the pay ment of Interest upon the bonds of the district. Second, after the payment of Interest, apply such funds as are avail able In either of said districts to the redemption of the improvement bonds In their order, beginning with the low est number. Upon the application an alternate writ of mandate was Issued and on the return the defendants de murred to the petition and also Inter posed a motion to quash. In Its syllabus the supreme court holds In part as follows: The bondholder has no claim against the city on account of the debt created by euch bonds and is given no right as against a landowner who has paid all of his assessments, and the city au thorities have no power or right to di vert any portion of the principal or in terest paid such taxpayer to the pay ment of Interest and principal owed by a delinquent taxpayer. The bondholder may proceed In the matter as provided by statute and can either secure his money from the de linquent taxpayer to obtain title to the property by such delinquent, free and clear of all Incumbrances. The plaintiff In this case has a plain, speedy and adequate remedy at law for the collection of any principal or Inter est due from any property owner who has failed to pay any assessments made by the city authorities, and that being true the peremptory writ of man date will not Issue.

Dixon and Adelhald Wol ter In her own proper person as widow and administratrix of the estate of Peter Wolter, deceased, versus D. D. Dixon, on appeal from the Fourth Ju dicial district court for Lincoln county, the supreme court last night handed down a decision reversing the Judg ments entered for the defendant. By stipulation of counsel two ac tions are presented In one transcript in this case. Both cases are the result of an agreement to sell certain real and personal property made by Mrs. Wol ter. This agreement to sell recites a cash payment of 3100 made at the time It was entered into and that the fur ther sum of 35000 should be paid ac cording to the schedule, the other sums to be paid also being set forth. A mar ginal notation was made on the agree ment to execute a chattel mortgage to secure the payment of the first de ferred payments. The payments were not made. A dispute arose over their settlement and litigation followed. The supreme court finds the evidence failed to support the findings of the lower court for the defendant. The trial court Is directed to enter Judgment for Mrs. Wolter for restitution of the prem ises with damages for unlawful deten tion, and for the recovery of the per sonal property, or In -case a recovery cannot be had, that the Judgment he entered in favor of Mrs. Wolter for its value, both to be determined by the trial court from the record. Justice Budge wrote the decision. Hls find ings are concurred In by hls asso ciates.
