BRITT WILL GO
TO AUSTRALIA

Willis Britt is just in receipt of a
letter from James Edward, informing
him that an invasion of Australia is
now being planned by the conqueror
of Johnny Summers. Jimmy is sehed-
uled to again face the Englishman on
February % in London, after which
fight he will sail for the Antipodes to
rake in all the easy mazuma that Tom
my Burns and Jack johnson fail to
gather. When it comes to making the
coin. there are few fighters who can
show Britt anything, and even though
he is considered TO be in the SD & OF
class, he is probably making as much
money as the top-notehers.

Of Metz. states that seventeen peo-
pie were burned TO death with the

FIXES NOVEMBER |
THE DATE TO ANSWER

Caracas, Oct. 16.-"The revocation
of the decree of May IA Is demanded
in the most energetic manner-the
government of Venezuela must from
this moment. and without delay, fulsil
the protocol of 1904. and not pro-
long the intolerable state of affairs
which 1t has created by the decree Of
May IA
These are the words of the minister
of foreign affairs of the Netherlands
in his note of August 20, in which
he answers Venezuela's communica-
ton telling of the summary dismissal
of Minister De Reus from Caracas.
Another note followed, but because
of General Castro's Illness 1t mas not
yet been answered, but it is generally
understood here that Venezuela WI
not give in to any of Hollands q
mands.
Although the Netherlands note asks
for the immediate revocation of the
trans-shipment decree, it has been re-
ported that the second note fixes the
date of November l "a the time when
this must be done, thus giving the
note the nature Of an ultimatum.
That Venezuela Is being prepared
TO resist invasion and that the many
big defense coast towns have been
made ready for an emergency Is COM
mon knowledge here.

SUNDAY LAW HELD VOID
BY CIRCUIT JUDGE
IN OREGON
Decides That 1t Interferes
With Religious Freedom
and Is Unreasonable.
MAY CARRY CASE TO
THE SUPREME COURT

Portland, Oct. 16.-Judge C. Gan
tenbein in the equity department of
the state circuit court today. decided
that the statute prohibiting the tram
sacting of business on Sunday Is un-
constitutional. District Attorney
George ]. Cameron says that he has
not yet decided whether he will carry
the case to the supreme court.
Judge Gantenbeln assigns five rea-
sons why the law conflicts with the
federal constitution. He decides that
it restricts religious freedom, in that
it was passed for the purpose Il
compelling observation of the Sab
bath; that it was not passed as a
matter of police power; that it is dis
criminatory in excepting theaters. and
finally that the law is both unreason-
able and arbitrary. The opinion states
that If a Sunday closing law Is de-
sired by the legislature the court rec
ommends for its study as a model the
Idaho statute.
Judge Gantenbcin followed the
reading of his opinion by making the
temporary injunction restraining tn
authorities from molcsting business
men permanent. The saloons are not
affected by Judge GantenOein's deci-
sion. There Is specific statute pro-
hibiting their opening on sunday,
passed under the police power of the
state.
The law which Judge Gantenbein
today declared Illegal was pass by
the state legislature in 1864. compels
a proper observation of the sabbath
day and, so far as known. it has
been a dead letter until two weeks
ago. District Attorney Cameron res
urrected il from its peaceful sleep Of
half century, and attempted to en-
force 1t to the letter. The statute
lacked only the pillory and the whip
ping post to have made il an ideal
New England blue law. Its express
sions even are antiquated, and it's pro-
visions ridiculous. For example, II
requires grocery stores to remain
shut, 1t permits butcher shops to re-
main open; newspapers are not pro-
hibited from printing a paper on sun
day, but they cannot sell them.

MEETING THE
BIGGEST EVER AT
ROSWELL
Crowd Turns out TO Greet
Delegate Andrews and
Party In Valley.
REPUBLICAN CLUB
HAS BEEN FORMED

Roswell, N. M, Oct. 16.-The iarg-
est political meeting In the history OF
Roswell was the one held at the court
house here last evening when over
five hundred gathered to greet Dele
gate Andrews and party. The build
Ing was crowded and enthusiasm was
shown by Democrats and Republicans
alike.
When Delegate Andrews stated in
his speech that he could and would
get statehood for New Mexico at the
short session Of Congress his audience
cheered five minutes before the chair
man could bring order. other
speeches were made by members of
the party and local leaders and after
the meeting Delegate Andrews re-
ceived encouragement from a num-
ber OF Democrats. who assured him
of support at the polls this fall.
A monster Republican club was
organized by Attorney General Hervey
and X. C. Nisbitt and Roswell now
has one OF the best Republican clubs
in the territory. Meetings are plan
ned every week and the club will take
an active part in the campaign from
now on. AS there Is great enthusiasm
here for statehood Delegate Andrews
will get the support of many Demo-
Gratis who recognize his ability to se-
cure statehood for the territory at
the next session OF Congress.
Delegate Andrews and party were
well entertained here. They were
taken to the annual horse show in
automobiles and were then shown
about the city.
