secured any lawyers-yet and hope we

District Atornev Cameron said that
ha was chiefly anxious to find out
whether the Sunday closing1 law ia con
tlrittlonal nr not.
"If the' law la constitutional there Is
no reason why it should not be made to
apply to all classes, not merely to the
saloons," said Mr. Cameron. "If It Is
not constitutional, then -we don t want
to enforce It at all. We are anxious to
find out about the law, that la all."
That the merchants who met this
morning think the law is not constitu
tional there Is no doubt. They declare
that It la class legislation of-the mott
rabid sort, allowing meat markets to
remain open when grocery stores munt
close, and, theatres to run full blast
while poolrooms and 'baseball grounds
are, locked up. . ,

New York, Sept. 16.- Those who have
been predicting that the Southern Pa
cific will soon take the Frisco system
off the hands of the Rock Island are
more insistent than, ever today, that
the deal will . soon be closed.
A sudden advance in Rock Island
shares yesterday Is said to have been
caused by the report that Soever St
Co., had agreed to furnish e8,000,000 for
tne purpose or taKtng up the 17.124. R00
of Frlnco 4 y per cent notes which fall
due December 1. -
The reports of trouble to be exrierl-
enced In meeting the maturing of this
Issue were the basis of all the un
favorable rumors about the Rock Island
thia fall. At the same time, and from
much the same sources. It Is reported
tgday that Harrlman la. buying Rock
Island preferred. - This, coupled with
the statement that the money la forth
coming to meet, the Frisco lasue, la
takenln some quarters to Indicate that
Harriman'a hand la directing the move
ments and that when it ia all over the
Frisco will belong to. the Southern Pa
