The provision quoted by tho Judges in their decision is that the voter shall havo paid a state or county tux "which shall have been assessed at least two months and paid at least ono month before tho election." Leopold C. Glnsi nnd J. Louis 'Brcltingcr, representing tho Republi can 'city committco and the Republican Alliance, appeared in court at 10 o'clock, prepared to discuss the ,lcgnl propositions Involved, and each carry;, ing a large batch of petitions of women asking for assessment, their names hnv ing been omitted from tho lists on the regular assessment days. The court was not in session, and tho two attorneys were escorted to Judge Shoemaker's private. chamberr wnero they -were closeted for nearly an hour. ' ,. TKey w.ere joined by J. Leo Patton, another counsel for tho Vnrc-J. Tho act of 1805, according to Mr. Breitlngcr, gives tbo courts discretion ary power to" correct voters' list by striking off pr adding names, right up to tho election. Both lawycrs'tmid they would withhold for the present tho filing of any moro petitions. It Is expected that the lawyers will take no further steps until Judge Shoe maker has conferred with his colleagues. Attorneys coinciding with the court's Interpretation of the law said the con stitution provision wns mandatory, and that there is a legal distinction between the procedure df petitioning for as sessment of voters and the petitioning for a correction of the lists to which the net of Assembly quoted by Mr. Breit lngcr applies. If the judges sitting nn an election court refuso to modify their ruling, at torneys for the w,omen may have re course to tho Sunrcmo Court. This action is suggested nnd urged by Attorney General Schaffcr. who said : "I would be very much surprised If these women of l'hiiadelpliln, whose pe titions to he placed on the assessors' lists were refused bv the election court. did not make this a test case of appenl to the supreme uourt. "Ono woman, throuch nn attorney. ran tako this appenl to the Supreme Court, when it convenes Monday, and the Supremo Court may revcrso tho de cision of the election court in ample tiino for the women to register nnd be come qualified voters before election day." BOYS HELD FOR ROBBERY Two High School Students In Pitts burgh Nabbed as Housebreakers Pittsburgh, Sept. 24. Jesse Fisher, a. student in tho Blvorsido High School, and Robert Woodburn, a student in tho Amcricnn Avenue High School, were arrested yesterday. The boys, the police nlege, confessed to entertlng several houses, among them being that of W. M. Sobeck, 3143 Ash leyn street, Sheridan, where they got dlnmonds nnd other jewelry valued at $1500, The loot was not recovered. "Wo will have a Jury in this cose," ruled Carson. Ho asked newspapermen in the courtroom to act ns jurors and directed: "All in favor of giving the cat to Miss Jones say 'Ajp.' " "Aye" it wns, the shout echoing in the outside corridor.

Miss Jones took tho animnl bnrk, but on leaving the houso sajv that Wclner, she said, had tied it to a table. "That broke my heart," sho told the magistrate.

Tho regulations abolishing the "left hand turn on Market street is a radical step to climlnato "death traps" at con-t gested corners, it means that a venicio proceeding cast on Market stroot will not be permitted to turn north on Thir teenth, Eloventh or Ninth streets, and that vehicles proceeding west on Mar ket strcot will not be permitted to turn south on Twelfth, Tenth or Eighth streots. Vehicles will not be allowed to make a left-hand turn Into Market street from Thirteenth; Twelfth, Eleventh, Tenth, Ninth, or.EItrhth streets. Supcrintondcnt Mills said that the re-'t striction of tho use by commercial trucKs of Market, 'Chestnut nnd Walnut streets is In anticipation of tho ChristmaB shopping congestion. GALLS CAFE PRICES HERE 'SCANDALOUS' Man Who Curbed Pittsburgh Profiteers Urges Public to Unite in Restaurant War COURT RULINGS DIFFER Food prices in many restaurants here were described ns scandalous today by Major William F. Long, hend of the Pittsburgh fair-prlco committee, who forced prico reductions thcro ranging from 10 to CO per cent. Major Long, hero on a living visit to tho local offices of Fnir-Prico Commis sioner McCIain, snid tho only menns Philadelphia has of battering down food prices is through force of public opinion. "Tho Lever net wns held to bo un constitutional in this district by Federal Judge J. Whitakcr Thompson,," ho pointed out. "Federal Judgo Thomson, of the western district of Pennsylvania, upheld the Lever act. Court Decisions Differ "The Pittsburgh fair-prlco committee called a meeting of hotel and restaurant proprietors and ordered 'them to cut their prices. If they refused, wo told them, prosecutions would follow in short order. " 'Investigate first,' the hotel men told us. Wo told them to cut their prices immediately nnd wo would do the invostlsatlne afterward. "Tho new price scale went Into effect In Pittsburgh this morning. For ex ample, orders of, ham and eggs ..and bacon and eggs were reduced one -third in price. Side dishes potatoes, for instance were cut CO per cent In price The restaurant men tuero were charging thirty-five, cents for four slices of tomato, which cost them not moro than one and a half or two cents. "They charged twenty-five cents for nn car or corn for which they paid about two and one-half cents. In this city twenty-five cents is not nn un common price for nn car of corn. Such prices arc scandalous. "In some instanccsin Pittsburgh we made nudits of restaurant expenses. The nudits proved that overhead ex penses, including labor, were not more than CO per cent. Yet hotel and res taurant men were making gross profits of from 500 to 000 per ceut." Major Long was asked Jf similar ac tion could not bo taken here against food profiteers. Says "Carry Own Lunch" "In view of the status of the Lover act in this district," he said, I'thc principal factor in bringing down food costs must be public opinion. Few things can withstand the power of aroused public opinion. Once let res taurant men nnd hotel men see that people are in earnest in demnnding fairer prices and they will como down." Major Long said 'he believes that, in principle, the "carry-your-lunch" movement, said to be gaining ground in New York and other cities, is a sound step. "To be effective, of course, it must be practiced by largo numbers of peo ple. Tho cash register is as potent n guide for restaurant keepers as tho box-nffico is for theatres. "If receipts drop the business men running the restaurants will be wise enough to seo the wise course to adopt." Nine hundred employes of the enr service department of the Pennsylvania Railroad joined tho "carry-your-own" movement today. Employes of the Emergency Fleet Corporatlqn also have joined. Scores of business men nnd stenographers who formerly lined the counters of restnurants nt noon were among those carrying their lunch today. Most fruit is lower in prico than it had been In the last four years, sugar has taken a big drop -and other kinds of food have also descended with a thud. Yet tho restaurants still offer eight slices of potato for ten cents (potatoes are ten cents a quarter peck) and charge fifteen and twenty cents a wedge for pie. DR. J. M.

"Mr. Braun positively never gave me one penny nor did ho assist me in any way to evade tho draft. On the contrnry, ho urged me to surrender and give myself up, to take my medicine like a, man. But I always put it off. "Ou November of last year I met Braun nnd Krauso whllo I was with Grover and Schrocdcl.

Cy&A,'Z2s ?,. fi" '?N GEORGES LEYGUES Uy the Associated Press Paris, Sept, 24. Georges. Ley gucs, minister of marine in the Cicmcnccau cabinet, hn accepted a call to the French premiership tinder President Millerand'.'! administration, it was an nounced todnj. He will likewise net as foreign minister. Before summoning M. Leygucs, President Millerand consulted Leon Bourgeois, president of tho Senate; Raoul Poret, president of the Chamber; M. L'Hopitcu, the minister of justice; Jules Steeg, tho minister of the In terior; General Pau, and Charles Du mont, former minister of finance. The presidential automobile was then sent to bring M. Leygucs to the chief execu tive. Besides holding the premiership, M. Millerand was the- foreign minister of his own cabiaet, and the new premier is likewise to head the foreign office. It is understood the other ministers of the Millerand cabinet will retnin their posts. During the consultation between Pres ident Millerand nnd M. Leygucs they found themselves in agreement in the idea -that a cabinet whose policy hnd ben approved by both chambers of the parliament ought to be maintained. Millerand Commended Traise of Alexandre Millerand, the new president of the French Republic, is the keynote of editorials upon bis in auguration printed here today. Tlio oniy .discordant note comes from Social ist organs ami Mime radical journals. The Oeuvrc. 'for Instance, recalls how M. MUIcrnnd was shouted down iu the Chamber of Deputies, and wns accused of being responsible for llu fact thnt the French nrmv was poorly supplied wltti li.nvv nrtlllnrr nnrl 'tTio nra- vented tho .Gernwn retreat at the Marne from becoming n rout." The news paper says that many declared that on that occasion "M. Millerand's public career was finished." "Our friends and enemies," writes Charles Cbaumct, former minister of marine, in Avcnir. "will learn by the election of Millerand that France is still 'tho lady nf Verdun.' and that sho no longer will nllow sabotage of her vic tory." This seems to sum up public feeling generally as expressed by the newspa pers.

GILBERT Stan CorrMDondrnt Evenlnr Public Idr Copyright; 1130, by rvbUo Lrdgtr Co. St. Paul, Sept. 24. This Is the bat tleground of the Nonpartisan League. Considering this league as a split of the Republican party, and it has hither to been mostly Republican on national issues, the Republican party is as badly divided here ns it is in Illinois.' 'ine old-fashioned Remihltrnnn nr trvlnir to keep the Nonpartisan League out of tne atatc House, just ns the old-fashioned Rcnublicans nf Illinois nre trvlntr to keep Mayor Thompson's adherents out of the State House in Illinois. This is tho battleground of the league because it is felt that If the league ib beaten in Minnesota it will lose ground everywhere, nnd that If it wins here it will spread and gain strength elsewhere. It is a critical cam paign for tho league. Townley, the boss of the league, which controls the gov ernment of one state, must be able to show victories or the league will pass nfter having served Its end in the state of its origin. This is said to show how acute the state situation Is. Yet acute as it Is, notonc here sees thnt it endamrers the Republican national ticket. The league members and the State Republicans will fight each other to the death, yet both will vote .for Harding, or at any rate as many of tho league members as have always been Republican nationally, plus u mt more wno are going to oe ilepuD licans nationally this time because they wisn n cnange 01 aummistratlon at tvasmngton. Pro. German During War Tho leaders of the Xonnnrtlunn league declare that they are taking no sides in tho national election and that tncir followers are free to vote ps they choose. But if they had seen fit to di rect the vote of tho league members away :rom Harding, they would have failed. Tho majority of the lcairue mem- bers oro Scandinavian and German. It is for this reason that the league was accused of disloyalty during the war. Tho German formers of the Northwest sympathized with their old ponntrv during the war openly until this coun try took sides, and n good many of them quietly afterward. And the Scandina vian farmers were either pacifists or in clined to favor Germany. The league nt nn organization was not interested in foreign affairs. But most of its mem bers had thoir origin in Germany or in countries friendly to Germany. Ono henrs little of the disloyalty chargo now. But the snme sympathies which made most of the leaguers vot for Wilson in 1010 because "he kept us out of war" lead them, now that we havo been in the war with disastrous results to Germany, to voto against Wilson's party. ' Comparing this year with 1010, when this Btato was almost carried by Presi dent Wilson, the Republican party re gains the Scandinavian vote, which once belonged to it; regains the German vote which was once Republican, plus the German voto which once wins Demo cratic; regains the AmericnTi farmer vote, which wns pacifist In 1011; picks up in the cities n considerable Irish vote, which Is off tho Democratic reser vation for the first time this year, all or which is the material for a very large majority. Democrats Lose Many Votes The Democratic party has lost the votes of people who for one reason or another, domestic or foreign, desire c change of administration at Washing ton. It was always, even in 1010, a minority party in Minnesota. It is n minority pnrty which this time has lost n good many of Its regular voters. There is a small drift to Cox of League of Nations supporters, but it is not big enough to compenato for his losse. On coming to Mlnnesotn, 'oue hears that the Cox campaign has fnllcd. He hears the same thing straight across tho country from New York, through Ohio. Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Gov ernor Cox had t.'thcr to make tho coun try fepl that n change from Wilson to himself wns all the change thnt waf needed or he had to raise some issue big enough so that tho country would begin to think nbout that issue rather than nbout its desire for n cbauge at Wash ington. There is not a sijn in Minnesota that hn has succeeded in doiiiir either thlnnr. 1 Cox has tried several issues. He has tried to elevate the League of Nation MANY VOTES LOS 0 GOVERNOR C X I.II !'
