Adele Boas, the IS-year-old daugh-
ter of Arthur IS. Boas , a wealthy
thread manulacturer of New York. Is
at home with her parents. The mys-
ery of her disappearance lust Friday
has been dispelled and the case re
solves Itself Into nothing more than
the escapade of a child with a sudden
desire to see the world.
Aside from the natural reaction that
has set In, ,Hie girl Is little the worse
for her wandering. The Boas family
physician spent half an hour with her

voluntarily, she says, under the Im
pression that she would like to earn
her own living, but seeing the news
papers and learning that the police
were looking for her, decided to come
from Boston alone without notifying
the police.

Attorney Ceneral Thompson has
filed a quo warranto suit In the su
preme court to test the right of the
new state normal board, and especial
ly one of Its members. Senator Thomas
J. Majors, to hold the office to which
they were appointed by Gov. Shallen
berger. He hopes to test the new law
passed by the last legislature and at
the same tlntv the right of a member
of the legislature to accept any civil
appointment during the term of office
to which he has been elected.
Senator Majors Is state senator
from the Second senatorial district and
Is a member of tho legislature that
passed the new act providing for the
appointment of a new normal board
by the governor. The old board, ac
cording to the petition, has not resign
ed and claims the right to exercise tH
powers of a state board of education
and to expend the funds of the state
set aside for the support of state 110-
mal schools. The new board claims
the same right and at its first meeting
allowed claims on the stute tremury.
The attorney general's petition says
Majors an dthe other members of the
board Intruded themselves Into office
and have usurped the power of the
members of the board of education.

HI Municipal Election in May
Judge Cornish has held that the
Injunction suit brought to restrain tne
Riitimisslon of prohibition and 6:30
o'clock closing to the voters of the Lin
coln at the May election was without
merit. The dismissal of It also car
ried with It the suit brought to re
strain the holding of any election at
all on the ground that the holding
of a party primary was necessary be
fore an election could be held and
not having been held there could be no
tion.
In disposing of the suit Judge Cor-
nlsh made no mention of this latter
phase of the controversy, but directed
his remarks entirely to the one con
tention over whether the excise bonrd
has the right to submit to a vote of the
people rules proposed for adoption.
It was contended by K. C. Strode
that the inltlutlve an dreferenduni law
applied only to city ordinances, If It
was good at all und bad Deen properly
adopted by the voters. He Insisted
that the statutes confined the activi
ties of the excise board to liquor li
censes exclusively.
Judge Cornish held thut the word
"exclusive" as used In tho statute
meunt that that power as to licenses
exclusive" In the board as
ugalnst the mayor and city council,
but that It will not prevent the people
from the exercise of the powers given
them by the Initiative und referendum

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade.
- NEW YOEK.
Trudo conditions are without much
change,, aud Irregularity Is fttH tire
lending feature In business nnd Indus
trial Hues. Results of spring buslnefs
are ns a whole dlsnpixilntiug. There
Is, however, more doing In wholesale
lines for next fall and winter, and the
tone In this branch Is fairly optimistic.
There Is considerably more activity
ln tho pig Iron markets, and the vol
ume of business doing lu Iron and steel
Is heavier. A large part of this, how-
ever, appears to be nt the expense of
prices, lx'cUiise structural material Is
apparently ut the bottom, wire prices
have been cut, nnd n number of other
lines show tho effect of the desire of
manufacturers to get business.
Manufacturers nre certainly buying
more freely, though they report little
Increase ln orders. Eastern shoe ship
ments nre 2-1 per cent larger than a
year ngo, but still behind l'.X)7.
