Mr. Moore has retained Searle & Marshall. Mr. Searle. went to Spring field yesterday afternoon to file with the secretary of state Mr. Moore's formal protest against the placing ol Mr, Cooke's name on the otlicial bal lot.

The secretary, instead of acting him self on the protest of Mr. Moore, took the same course he did in the Me-Eniry-Amlrews contest and referred it to the county judges of the district.

HE MUST LOOK TO INDIVIDUALS Those Taking: Part in Initiation Ceremony Now Being Pro ceeded Against. Dr. William Sensibaugh, of Tort ltyron, who alleges he was perman ently disabled in the initiatory cere monies of the local lodge of the Fra ternal Tribunes and who asks $o0,000 damages from the society, will be compelled to secure whatever the court and jury decide he is entitled to from those citizens of Port Ityron who took part in the ceremony in which the plaintiff claims to hav-? been injured. This is the purport of a decision ren dered in the circuit court this morn ing on the motion made yesterday af ternoon when the Fraternal Trib unes, as an order, through its attor neys, asked that the jury return u verdict for the defense and which motion vvas argued yesterday. Not Ilenponalble for Member. Judge (Jest held that the society as it is incorporated is not in any sense responsible for the acts its members may do while in the performance of the initiation of a candidate. Tho lodge is incorporated for the fixed purpose of collecting money to be used for specific purpose and its in corporation certificate or official head is not liable under such circum stan ees. The defense interprets the decision as meaning that inasmuch as the lodge itself is not responsible for its agents in initiation the present de fendants are not legally responsible for such actions which are performed as agents for the society. The re maining defendants are: Julius Linke. John Sehafer, Harriett E. Coyne. Alex. School. Mary Ellis. Nan cy Sullivan, Nell S. Itloek, George Townsend and Amanda Townsciid, all members of the Port Hyron lodge. Case Proceeded Willi After the rendering of the decision by the court the case was proceeded with as before, although no reference is made to the society, an 1 the jury, when it is given the case, will be in structed to find for the society, in addition to adjudicating the present phase of tlie case.
