WASHINGTON. September 2*i.—According to the Attorney-Genera!, the constitution did not follow the flag In the case of the establishment of the United States Government in the island of Guam. When the American naval colony was originally established In Guam, with Admiral (then captain) Leary as the supreme power, one of his assistants, Lieut. W. E. Safford. obtained one of the very few good dwell-ing-houses on the Island by purchase from the owner, and improved It to such an extent that it became practically the
most desirable residence there.
Governor Leary finally concluded that Lieutenant Safford's house was needed by the Government as an executive mansion.

Long Season Promised. Nothing pleases Washington so well as a long season, and that la what is promised. There is no limit to which this session of Congress may be extended. No one attaches great importance to the talk that if the body begins work the second week in November and merges the special session into the regular session, the first week In December, without a break, it ought to be possible to get away early In the year. It will be a surprise to those who are acquainted with the ways of the legislators if there 1* any serious work done until after the Christmas hoUda>s, and the presumption is that the session will run into May or
June.

The Attorney-General has sustained tbe action of Governor Leary us being legal under the peculiar circumstances. In his opinion the Attorney-General holds that the constitution has not been extended to Guam by congressional enactment, and that the sole power of government has b*-on necessarily and properly committed by the President to the naval governor, and that In appropriating the eroperty of Lieutenant Safford he was entirely within his authority in the exerclre of th* right of eminent domain, and that the United States has tt clear and valid title to ihe property In dispute.

[Special to The Indianapolis News ] MUNCTE. Ind., September 26.-What-

Two immense factories are to be constructed in Muncie at once, and a number of smaller ones are negotiating for sites, all in spite of the fact that natural gas for manufacturing purposes is almost a thing of the past here. Muncie’* Continued Prosperity. The Ava Chemical Company, the prlnclj>al stockholder of which is John D. Rockefeller, has its plans prepared for a chemical factory that will employ between M and 400 people, and perhaps more. The Muncie Pulp Company, by a bond issue of 1750,000, has raised the cash for the construction of a paper mill here that wdll cost half a million dollars. This company will also enlarge its pulp null here, all in face of the fight that the farmers are making against pulp and
paper mills.
Muncies continued growth in the face of au apparently poor fuel supply.

most a year ago Lutltla Adams sued Elizabeth McQueen to break a will. The contention was for a small amount, but Mrs. Adams was a poor woman, and staked ail she had on breaking the will. The case was tried In the Bartholomew county Circuit Court, but the Jury disagreed after being out two days, and a new trial was resorted to. The plaintiff asked for a special Judge, and the request was sent to the Governor. He failed to appoint a Judge, and Judge Hord appointed Anderson Percifleld, of Nashville, Brown county. The case has been called several times, but something came up to postpone it and finally came up for trial yesterday. Special Judge Percifleld was on the bench and the defense asked for a change of Judge. Percifleld granted the request, and now a third Judge will
have to be appointed for the case. Two divorce suita have been filed In
