Browne, of ny or {circuit court, for action. The first action taken by the court was on the application of State Senator Arthur Gomez, rep- , lesenting the voters, and Attorney ; William V. Albery, representing ithe clerks and inspectors. This was a mandamus instruct- ing inspectors to issue ballots to ‘certain persons who had been de- +nied the right to vote because the ‘records showed they had cast ab- sentee ballots. This the voters in | question denied on oath, and the judge ied the mandamus. |" Later in the evening the judge sued another order which -re- strained the clerks and inspectors | from counting the absentee bal- lots gntil further order This morning the matter was decided for the time being by the ' following order signed by Judge Browne: “It is hereby stipulated i between counsel for the petition- ,ers and counsel for the respond- ents, that respondents may turn over to the clerk of this court all absentee ballots, properly con- tained in a sealed container, to- | gether with the envelopes contain- jing the affidavits of electors voting absentee ballots and return to the proper officials the ballot !boxes, unused ballots, and all ‘other documents and papers used further stipulated that if and E.! court that the respective officials portation. processi Fortuna | will meet to make such returns as manufacturing and, distribution.: most of the upset legislation. i i . {may be directed by the court.” i i SHORTEST SENTENCE | SLATON, Tex. — Whether jail sentence—one minute.

While this seems to be a large gain, the Tariff Commission points out that in 1935 our im- ports of cotton cloths from all sources were less than 1 per cent of our domestic production. Critics of the President’s action point out that Japan in 1935 sold us $153,- 000,000 worth goods and bought from $: ,000,000 worth. the Japanese have been ying more than $26 worth of} raw cotton from us for every $1 worth of cotton textiles she has been selling to us. i The State Department is con- fronting other difficulties in its effort to boost our trade abroad.'

This means in effect, that the traders of other | nations, being forced to pay dutie lin China, will be unable to co pete with the Japanese and will therefore lose the Chinese mar-; ket. Just exactly what steps will; be taken by other nations in re-! gard to the smuggling traffic in North China, are uncertain but it; is said that the recent agreement of the United States to buy silver from China is calculated to put} on Japan and that the bility is that Great Britain will also take action to halt the smuggling operation, j ther five to four decision of jpreme Court has voided the!
