DEBATE TO CENTRAL
Attitude of Organized Labor
Not a Menace.
EASTERN HIGH GOES DOWN
Arguments for Affirmative Are
Well Delivered, but Lack C0nvic-
of Process, whether Labor Should
Be Punished or EnjOined.

Organized labOT's attitude toward pub
lie speech and public press is not a
menace to American civilization
This was forcibly brought out by the
Central High School team in the first
debate OF the interhigh school series. in
which Eastern High School argued for
the affirmative Of the question Tbs de-
bate was held in the assembly hall OF
the 0 street school.
Central was declared the victor by a

The Eastern team was composed Of G. c.

and w W. Nottingham, Il, alternative.
Arguments of the Central forces were
driven home and made stronger by ef-
tectiye delivery, while the contentious of
the Capitol Hill debaters were at times
good. Central showed the question I'M
der discussion was one OF process
whether organized labor should be en-
joined or punished for boycOtting.
Violation of Constitution.
Miss Koenigsberger proved that an in
junction preventing boycotting Is a VIC
lation Of the constitutional rights of all
citizens. Mr.. Heller. the second speaker.
declared such an injunction violated all
established rules and precedents Of court
procedure, and re-enforced his argument
by showing how much better were suits

Besides refuting many OF the affirma-
tiveIs most important points Mr. Roser.
the last Of CentTaTs speakers. declared

Several Of the alternatives arguments
were well delivered. but lacked convic-
ton and the soundness Of the points put
forth by the Central representatives. The
first speaker for Eastern. Mr.. Manning.

MORALITY CRUSADER
 DISAPPEARS Day After Wedding Falls in Fit After Drinking Beer;
 Never Again Seen

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 19.- Within less than twenty-four hours af- ter his marriage to a Los Angeles girl, Thongs Hughes, a temperance worker who has been engaged in anti-saOon and morality crusades in Cincinnati, Chicago and more recently in San Fran cisco and Oakland disappeared, and his bride appealed to the police today to find him.
 Hughes married Miss Cora Beck i'm mediately after testifying Saturday at the trial of hotel proprietor, whose arrest he had procured the day before. Returning home that evening from the hotel where he had registered to secure evidence, Hughes brought with him a bottle of beer, according to the story Mrs. Hughes told to the police. He took one drink, she said, and fell to the floor in spasms.
 Mrs. Beck hurried out for a physi- elan, but found on her return that her husband had disappeared.

Fun in Courtroom

The daily accounts of any noted liti- gatlon such as the Swope case in Kan sas City or the Vaughn poisoning at krksville, are certain to revive old stories of the courts. Particularly is this true of witnesses. Every experi- enced judge or. lawyer has several such stories either from his own career or that of some colleague or other member of the bar. Occasionally a humorous tale or witty retort is decked out in modern garments and applied locally. This happened one day in the first weel, of the Swope entanglements. when hOary old joke, originated, some books say, by an Irish pleader, was revamped and properly used by notary, with such success that within three days it had been attributed to judge, three lawyers and deputy marshall but never to its first source.
 Much of the wit and humor of the witness stand is delightful because it is unstudied and often unconSciOuslv funny. For instance, to begin near at home, there is story of a witrpss in a trial at Emporia, Kan. In the course of the opening formalities the lawyer in- quired:
 "Now-ah-Mr. Brown, how long have you lived here9"
 ''Too damned long," was the quick reply and the court was so amused that the customary rebuke for such language in the "presence was forgotten.

 All the guests were gathered, stand. ing in complete silence as the doors were thrown open for the entrance of the emperor and empress. Just as they stepped across the threshold there was distinctly heard in the hushed room a sharp, unexpected click-click. It was only the electric light as an extra bat, tery was turned on, but the emperor uttered low cry and the empress stag, gered and turned pale, while a moment of agOnizing fear held the roomful of guests.

 MT. Kerwin has been in the terri tory for the past week, having travelet over the greater part of the territory in company win MT. Morrison during that time.

HEAVY SELL|NGS IF STEEL GESTURES
 MARKETS
Coppers Come in for Share of Hammering in Tester
 days Dealings

NEW YORK, April l9.-There was a lack of decisive tones in the stock mar ket today, which reflected good deal of uncertainty in the speculation. The market was not active, but importance was attached to some large individual transactions, especially in Steel.
 The selling of this stock by a firm which was revealed as the largest own CT of record of the company's shares of any of it's class by the statement given out by the corporation itself yesterday, gave rise to much comment The influence was due to the wide spread belief that the firms holdings represent the interest of some of the so-called insiders in the corporation.
 The source of the selling was regard. ed none the less ominous. The effect was to give rise to doubts of the accur- acy of the previous predictions of a coming increase in the dividend. The rumor was given currence also that the quarterly statement of earnings to be published next Tuesday would prove disappointing.
 It was reported that the publicatoin of monthly statistics of copper produc tion and deliveries of stocks would be abandoned and the Copper Producers association dissolved. The effect or sentiment was to suggest return tC secret methods and feeling of distrust of the actual trade conditions. A de nial of the report rallied the coppers.
 Bonds were easv. Total sales, $l, 765,00O. United States bonds were un, changed on call.

FIGHT OF BIRDS
Rapid Wing Movement Does
 Not Always Mean Speed

Birds have different modes of flight just as men have different gaits in walk ing or running. Rapid wing movement does not always imply speed in flight any more than rapid leg movement i'm plies speed in walking or running. With us it is the length of the stride that tells ultimately. What, apart from wing movement, tells in the bird 's flight, is not known.
 Speaking broadly, long winged birds are strong and swift flyers; short winged birds are feeble in flight. When we con slider that cumbrous, slow moving bird like the heron moves it's wings twice per second when in flight it is evident that many birds have very rapid wing movement Most small birds have this rapid wing movement with feeble pow CTS of flight. The common wren and the dipper, for instance, have flight like that of a young bird
 Many of our smaller migrants seem but to fit from bush to bush or from tree to tree. Members of the thrush family are low fiiers, the blackbirt in particular, with it's nasty, hurried flight often just avoiding fences and no more. " dSldllS nave q DtdUlllul flight, with little apparent use of their wings. They look like greyhounds bounding through the air. Nearly all birds sail or float occasionally without the slightest movement of their wings. Even large bird like a pheasant will glide in this way for more than two hundred yards.
 Grouse have a rapid wing movement without any great speed, but when they sail, coming down with the wind, as they prefer to do, they go very fast. Before alighting they flap their wings several times very rapidly, like the clapping of hands. Most birds after gliding do this. Does it correspond to putting on the brakes or reversing the engine in the case of mechanical locomOtiOn? With little apparent use of its wings the wood pigeon flies very strongly and rapidly It never seems to bring upN much be- fore alighting, but crashes into tree at full speed When it rises it's wings crack like pistol shots.
 Ducks are strong on the wing and often fly in single file. Geese will fly wedge or arrowhead shape, generally at a considerable height. So do many gulls and other sea birds, in a stately, meas ured fashion, their calls occasionally sounding like" Left, right, left, right. ''
 Kestrels have beautiful clean cut clipping motion of their wings and look like yachts sailing through the air. while their lowering in the air is one of the mysteries of bird life. Peesweeps which are so graceful in their motions on the ground, look like enormous bats when in flight. Swallows and in a very marked degree swifts have rapid wing movement with great speed and extra ordinary powers of ight.-Scotsman
