The tupreme. court drnled the application Of the attorneya for the express com panies for an order to modify th? findings of the referee, John J. Sullivan, in the rxpresa company case. The court Instructed the attorneys, Ralph Brcrklnrldge ami Charles Greene, that they could take ex ceptions to the findings of the referee and inrgue these exceptions In the court. I'n I til this Is done the court held It would not Nrder Judge Sullivan to modify hla find-inft-s. t The express company lawyers asked the court to Issue an order to have Judge Rulllvan show what would be the result had the referee adopted their method of accounting, that Is. figuring on the hand ling of express package rather than on the revenue. Attorney General Thomrson, for the state, argued that the referee had discarded the theory of the express com 4 pints and ha-d adopted the plan of the state, .and hia conclusions then were baaed on the facta In the, faae. For that rea son he Insisted that the court should Hot order the referee to change his findings. These cases were started by the attor 'rfpy general to compel the express com "ronls to charge only the ratea fixed In Ihe Sibley law, which were 25 per cent lower than the former ratea of the com panies. Evidence waa taken before Referee Sullivan, who found for the state and ao eported to the court. Democracy' Star Lawyer In Town.

For some time the lines have been use les at Intervals, and when the difficulty was Investigate It was f' und that It was alwavs due to the grounding of the wires, evidently by some person with malicious Intent. Sunday the lines went out of com mlsion and Sheriff Bahh of Fullerton was summoned to help untangle the affair. He went over the line and found that at a certain point It had been grounded by a piece of wire being bent over the telephone ! wire and then extended down to the ground. He was at a loss to know where to fix the blame, but thought of Sheriff Her and his bloodhounds at Central City and 'phoned the sheriff to bring them over. Sheriff ller and Judge Peterson loaded the doga In an automobile and went to the scene. The dogs took the scent at the point where the mischief had been done and followed It to a nearby farm house, where Ihe man of the house, when confronted with the accusation stoutly denied any knowledge of it.
