SUES NIGHT RIDERS
Henry Bennett Asks $1OO, 600
Damages to Property

LOUISVILLE. KY, Oct. pa suit
for 100000 damages, which was filed
in the United States circuit court for
the sixth circuit at Louisville today,
promises to become an important factor
in the night rider situation in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The plaintiff.
Henry Bennett, on the 4th of last
February was terribly beaten with
clubs and thorned switches, and. as
he claimed MANNED and badly injured
by band of night riders. At the
same time his stemmery and tobacco
factory and other large and valuable
buildings were destroyed by night rid
ers- Bennett ever since this time has
been receiving letters threatening that
he would be killed by night riders.
The purpose of bringing this suit is
to establish that all persons who are
members of the night riders organiza-
ton are bound by the acts of the night
riders, all being responsible for the
conduct and actions of the others, in
the furtherance of the general object
of the conspiracy, which was to force
all independent raisers and handlers of
dark tobacco to place their tobacco in
the pool controlled by the dark to-
bacco association.

ISLAND POLITICIANS
Judge Dole of U. S. Circuit Court
in Honolulu Denies Apple
cation of Law

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CALL
HONOLULU, Oct. 2O.-In the opinion
of Judge Sanford B. Dole of the United
States circuit court, il is not illegal
for a corporation of territory to con-
tribute toward the election of a dele
gate to congress. The conclusion was
reached by the court after a trial of a
suit brought by United States District
Attorney Breckons against the Halea-
kala ranch company for contributing
funds toward the election Of candidates.
1t would seem that the judge does
not question the constitutionality of the
where a delegate to congress from a
territory is to be elected at a time
where local offices are to be filled. What
effect this decision will have on the
barrel of the republican party at this
time can not be determined.

sented an identical note approving Bull
garia's recognition that compensation
is due to Turkey and requesting Bull
garia to follow Turkeys example and
give assurances of abstention from

tives of Germany and Italy at Sofia also
have expressed to Foreign Minister
Poprikoff their governments approval
of the identical note.
The Times in an editorial sees a happy
augury in the fact that five of the sig

acting In harmony for the first time
since the crisis arose, especially as 1t
is unlikely that Germany and Italy act
ed without -Hungary's knowl-

Nature will sick stomach quicker than

You would be surprised If you knew how many

terrible thing to those afflicted with ii.
Kodol supplies this assistance just the same as
in the early stages of indigestion. But more time
