BUCKET SHOP" ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Interfered With Rights of
 Citizenship
 WILL APPEAL CASE
Federal Government Attempt To Kill Alleged Bucket Shopping Meets First Defeat at Hands
 of Justice Wright

Washington, March 30.-An attempt by Congress to so closely define the offense of ''bucket shopping" as to make it inl- practicable in the District of Columbia, has resulted'in the complete failure of the legislation on the ground of uneonstitu- tionality. Justice Wright. in the district supreme court, today decided that the act referred to constituted an unwarrantable interference with the right of a citizen to enter into contract relations and was therefore unconstitutional. The particu- lar point of objection was that a person Ing an order to. 4 broker for d stock transaction without the intent of dealing in margins. might be held to have vio- lated the law, iS the broker without the knowledge of the client secretly made the transaction one of margin without tho actual basis of a transfer of stock
 The statute is of local application only and does not necessarily affect the ac- tlons which the department of justice has begun at many other points against al- legged bucket shop operators, for the prosecution in those cases has been under the postal laws on the plain ground of fraud
 This decision was rendered in the case of Edward Atemaus of Jersey City and Louis A. and Angelo Celia, who operated so-called bucket shop under the title If the Standard Stock and Grain company. With 26 others. they were indicted and while six of those pleaded guilty and were fined in sums aggregating $SiO0, the re- mainder decided to fight the case.
 Government Used Secrecy
 The movements of the government lead ing up to the indictments were shrouded in the greatest secrecy.
 On April ?. 1910 however, when indict- ments were obtained, raids on shops in seven cities were made simultaneously, wires were cut and customers were thrown into panic. Since then according to Attorney General Wickersham, buck ct shopping has become a thing of the past east of Denver.
 The government announced today its in tention to appeal from Justice Wrights decision.
 Chicago, March 30.-Prosecution of al- legged bucket shop operators in Chicago by the federal government will not be affected by the decision in the District of Columbia supreme court. The reason for this IS that the prosecutions here are not 1Ounued on any Ducket sHop leglSdltloH, but on the old statute against using the mails to defraud.
 St. Louis, March 30.-C. A. Tiles of St. Louis, who with the Celia Bros was in- dicted in Washington, D. C.. on a charge of operating bucket shop resisted ex- tradition and was ordered by the United States circuit court of appeals to be taken 10 Washington. He appealed to the United States supreme court and his ap peal is still pending there.

To Make Numerous Changes

It is because of the numerous changes in the rules in addition to the fight over patronage that 1t may take two days for the democrats to dispose of such business as requires caucus action before they will be ready to go into the house to perfect organization
 As the date of the caucus draws near the democratic leaders, and especially the men who have been making up the committee assignments, are becoming more and more confident that there will be no serious conflicts between the conservative and progressive fac tions, notwithstanding the fact that two or three of the committee chair manships are naturally suspected to be of nature unsatisfactory to those who did not land. While a contest from these men is expected It is believed the rank and file will be thoroughly sa atisfied with the nature of their com mittee assignments that the dissats- field ones will be able to command little support in any effort they make to overthrow the recommendations of the ways and means committee.

 Deal Almost Entirely
 With Reciprocity

Washington. March (Spectal.)- Not the least important of the subjects to come before the democratic caucus will be the rules by which the House will be guided during the Sixty-second Congress. The rules committee has been working diligently on revision of the rules for several days. In this work the committee members have been assisted by Judge Crisp of Geor- gia. son of the former speaker of the house. and N T. Crutchhe1d, who served at the speakers table.
 While fl is expected that the rules in the main will be patterened after the rules which were used by the dem ocrats in the F'ifty-third Congress, there will be many notifications. es- pecially in connection with the reforms adopted in the last Congress. Several of the democratic leaders already have appeared before the rules committee in support of reforms in the rules, among them being members of the ways an1 means committee, who wish to have the rules committee provide the ma- chinery by which tariff Legislation can be put through the House with the least possible delay at the hands of the minority members

the CANNON MARKET
Where Provisions of Quality are Sold.

Newcomers moving into Palatka
can be assured that so far as the ma
terial food necessities of life are con
cerned, the Gem City takes rank after
no other in the state for its market
facilities. Not only can the best sta
pie products be secured at the best
prices that obtain anywhere through
out Florida, but all the luXuries that
gladden. the American heart and stom-
ach can be had on exactly the same
terms-which is to say, at rock bot
tom prices. Metropolitan standards
are followed in all branches of the
provision trade, and this is especially
true in the case Of the local meat mar
kets.
The Cannon Market is a good eX
ample of this up-to-date management
and superiority in the way of stock
and equipment. Located in the CEN
ter of the downtown business dis
trct, this large and attractive es-
adjustment, has steadily increased
both in popularity and prosperity
since its establishment four years ago.
Mr.. Thomas Cannon, the proprietor
and general manager of the concern,
was employed in the Murray Market
before starting in business for him
self. He is a native of Palatka, and
one of those young men OF intelh-
gence and grit, wise enough to see
that the very best field of endeavor
for him lies in the city where he has
grown up, and is familiar with the
commercial and social needs of his
patrons.
The interior of the Cannon Market
is model of cleanliness and CON
venience both for those who carry on
its work and their customers. Com
modious ice-boxes and general refrig-
orator facilities insure pure, fresh
meats, poultry and sea-foods at all
seasons, and the working system in
vogue makes for promptness and I'M
usual efficiency in the handling of the
daily trade. The morning is the time
of greatest activity, and so we'll has
the system been carried out that the
days work is usually entirely over
by noon.

WANTS COTTON TARE REDUCED.
Georgia Legislator Would Appeal to
President and Cabinet.

Atlanta, July Ga resolution
asking President Taft, his cabinet
and the United States department of
agriculture to take steps to reduce
the per cent. "tare" on cotton baled
for the market, was introduced in
the Georgia house of representatives
to-day by Representatives Kim
brough and Johnson.
The 6 per cent. "tare'' represents
the weight of box, bagging canvas,
which is deducted from the gross
weight. 1t is pointed out that since
the per cent. rule was adopted the
weight of American cotton bales has
increased and the weight of canvas,
etc., has decreased. AS result
planters declare, the South loses sew
eral million dollars each year.
