st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 3.-0wing to the

quent want of money to pay the eX-

Steinbiss, president of the st. Louis

THE SEWER QUESTION.
Recorder Lewis Win Enforce The Or
dinance In All Cases.


Recorder Lewis had the first pro-
test against enforcing the ordinance
against plumbers for making sewer
connections without permit, this
morning.
Z. A. West and j. \. GutZeit were
before him on the charge and We're de-
Tended by Attorney Robt. Summer
lin, who said he intended to go over to
the sewer ordinance from beginning to
end, attacking it at every possible
point and show the invalidity of it.
His Honor continued the cases until
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
when they will be tried by jury.
Mr.. Lewis is determined to enforce
the ordinance in such cases. He says:
Il am not here to dwell on the validity
of an ordinance, L am here to enforce
them. think it my duty as city re-
corder to enforce all ordinances with
out questioning their Validity. They
are made by the city council and
deem it my duty to abide by them. If
they are defective or Invalid 1t is not
my fault and 1 will leave that for the
higher courts to decide"

President Zelaya Says the Whole

President Zelaya Says the Whole
Story is False.
New York, Sept. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Managua, Nicaragua,
says:
Your correspondent interviewed
President Zelaya as to the statement
that Japan is secretly negotiating
with the diet of the Graeter Republic
of Central America for permission to
take the Nicaraguan canal project out
of the hands of the United States,
setting aside the treaty rights of the
United States. The president declares
that the statement is absolutely false.
He says that while he ardently de-
slres to have the canal completed as
soon rs possible Japan has never offer
ed to take any hand in the matter.
President Zelay's wish, according to
his statement, is for the work to be
done either by the United States or
by private companies,
Japan has neither minister, consul
nor interest in Central America, Pres
ident Zelay says. The matter had
never been considered in the diet,
which met here in open session on Au-
gust 10.

THE LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
Application For Writ of Seizure De
MED by Judge Withrow.

st. Louis, Sept. Sin denying the
application for writ of seizure
against certain bOokmakers doing
business at the Fair Grounds track,
Judge Withrow, of the st. Louis Cir
cult court decided that the Breeders
law is constitutional.
The application was made by Chas.
B. holland, counsel for the pool room
proprietors, who wanted betting at
the fair grounds stopped because their
pool rooms were raided under the
state gambling act Judge Murphy
has declared the Breeders law consti-
tutional and they hoped that Judge
Withrow would do the same. He took
their APPLICATION under ADJUSTMENT
for four or five days and after exam
lining critically became satisfied that
it is constitutional. This settles the
pool room question unless the state
court takes adverse action.
