The court's order was issued late Saturday evening and was served this morning. The petitioner recites that; he and some 90,000 other electors and | taxpayers are vitally concerned in the | issue; that Attorney General Langer has refused to institute proceedings on behalf of the petitioner, and that the latter is forced to act on private initiative. It is statedythat the league's petitions for the submission of its ten amendments are signed by some 33. 000 people, purporting to represent 2° per cent of the voters in 50 per cent of the counties of the, state. | Without Authority.

It is further alleged that this pur- ported amendment does not provide for the number of petitioners neces- sary on such petition and that it does not provide the necessary machinery for the submission of any such con- stitutional amendments. It is further contended that the form of the pro- posed petition for the amendments is insufficient, in that it contains no en- acting clause. For this reason the petitioner asks that the secretary of state be restrained from further ad- vertisement of these proposed amend- ments and that he be restrained from having these amendments printed on the official ballots for the general elec- tion November 5. No Opinion Availavle. The secretary of state shortly after the petitions were filed with him ask- ed the attorney general for an opinion as to the course which the secretary of state should pursue in the matter, in view of the decision of the supreme court in the New Rockford capital re- moval case, in which the court sus- tained Bismarck’s contention setting (Continued on Page Two.)

He pitched splendid ball save for the! fatal fourth. Mays, with his. so-called submarine or U-boat delivery, was the main ob- stacle in the way of a Cub victory. Mays throws an old-fashioned under-; handed ball with a windup which doubles him up in such fashion that the uninitiated might think he was | hunting for fishworms. He had a var- iety of bait for the Chicago batters—| slow ones that floated up to the plate like puff balls in a fog, varied with a fast one with a dart and jump like a patent bass bait, and the Cub sluggers bit freely at all he offered. Whiteman, veteran of many a hard contest and who has figured in the run getting for Boston in every game of this series, got himself in front of free to first. He tarried a moment on second when Mcinnis singled and scored when Schang poled one of Vaughn's offerings safely, McInnis ad- vancing to third.. Scott dumped a vounder in front of the plate and Vaughn fumbled it long enough so safe at first, credited with a hit. Thomas singled to right and it looked like more trouble for the Cubs but Flack made one of his characteristic bullet throws and Schang. trying to score from second, was out at the plate.
