SQUIRE REVERSED
U. SUPREME COURT

Columbus, o., March ia justice
of the peace in Morrow county has rem
dered a decision, not only diametri-
cally opposed to the Ohio statutes. but
also to supreme court decisions with
out number and the Federal govern
ment, according to the officials of the
dairy and Food department.
The case in which the justice of the
peace reversed the United States SUI
preme court was a prosecution of an
agent, Elmer Jago, who is charged
with selling a compound said to con-
tain cocaine. DR.. Tucker, manufactur.
err was made joint defendant in the
suit, which was brought by Commits

The case was decided by the justice,
who dismissed both parties, claiming
that Il principal cannot be held for the
act of his agent, and neither can the
agent be held for the same. In other
words, no one was responsible

CROWD RESCUES 3
BURNING CHILDREN

Detroit, Mich, March 16.-Three
children who kept house while their
father and mother went out to work,
are in a hospital dying from burns
received when the eldest built fire
to prepare supper for the parents.
Frances, aged II, Agnes, aged 5, and
Helen, only three months old, daugh-
tiers of Frank Weiss, are the victims.
A terrific explosion called the neigh
bors No one knows what happened,
but the evidence points to a deadly
gasoline can. The house was locked
and in flames. From within came the
shrieks of the burning children. A
police captain organized a squad,
smashed in the doors and fought the
flames until the fire engines arrived
The children were found with their
clothing all burned away. Life re-
NAMED, however, and they were hur-
ried to hospital.

DEMAND INITIATIVE
AND REFERENDUM
Cullop Declares People Will
Repudiate Legislative
Opposition.

indianapolis, March 16.-Indiana
will, in the next two years. find herself
behind all the other states of the Tn
ion in the matter OF the initiative and
referendum, in the opinion OF William
A Cullop, OF Nincennes. congressman
from the second district.
Il can not understand" he said,
why the legislature in an enlightened
state like Indiana should fail TO enact
a low on the initiative and referen-
dunn, with popular demand growing for
such laws, and with the Democratic
party standing for such laws for years
Other states are taking steps forward
in this respect, and our own state will
soon find herself in the position OF
trailing after our sisters. for sooner
or later the people of Indiana are go
ing to make such q demand for these
laws that a general assembly will not
dare to disregard their wishes
ANY voter with a spark of man.
hood in him ought to repudiate the
representative who would work
against the initiative and referendum
In effect it amounts to saying that the
voters who send a man to congress,
to the state legislature or to city
council are not capable of deciding for
| themselves a question which they
must leave to their Representatives to
settle. | have found in my political
experience that the people generally
know what they want, and would be
fully capable of adjusting, through "a
referendum vote, any question which
may be put up to them. Many of the
standpat congressman who supported
the high tariff measure under Mr.. AL
drich and Mr.. Payne found when they
returned home that the people knew
what they wanted on the question of
tariffs, and l am confident that many
of the members of the Indiana gen.
eral assembly who worked and voted
against the referendum In the recent
session found when they returned
home that they had not represented
their constituents Oh this question. If
their constituents talked to them as
some of their constituents talked to
me, / am certain that the legislators
are wondering now if they took the
right track in their opposition. The
people are going to have this sort of
a law, and, in my opinion, the legis-
| lator who opposed it in the recent SEES
, sion is going to have hard time get
ting back in the next session.

TO PAY BACHELORS
TO TURN BENEDICTS

Oconto. Wis. March 10 The city
council has adopted an ordinance i'm
posing tax of Sc upon all unmarried
men residing in the city between the
ages of 81 and so years. The money
raised in this manner is to be used
for the support of orphans or other
needy children.
The adoption of the scheme was re
ceived with practically unanimous &C
claim by the women, but the bache
lors are vigorously opposing it's en-
| forcement.
Alderman V. J. O'Kelliher, the only
unmarried member of the counci
who is also president of the council
declares that he will veto the meas
ure, having been given authority by

PEANUT EATING FANS
INCREASE IMPORTS

Washington, March 1e-It may
have been due to the increase in the
number of peanut eating fans at the
baseball games or it may have been
because of the more extensive de-
mands OF the confectioner, but the fact
is the imports OF peanuts to the Unit
ed States for the year 1910 assumed
unprecedented proportions
United States Consul General Gaul,
in at Marseilles, France where great
quantities of peanuts are raised, re-
ports to the department of commerce
and labor that peanut exports 10 the
United States for the year 1910 rose in
value from the comparatively insignifi-
cant total OF SS,773 in 1909 to S371.5 sos.
Large purchases of peanut oil by
Americans also We're recorded and
the trade was the briskest in years.

ClTYLICENSEFORP EDDLERS
Case of Transient Merchant Arrested
at Lake Mills Argued Before the
Federal Court at Madison.

Madison.-Motion as to right of
Judge A. L. Sarborn of United States
district court to sit in the case of the
city Of Lake Mills against Frank
Cloud, transient merchant, was ar
gued today in federal court.
Cloud was arrested at Lake Mills
for selling medicines without first
procuring city license. He petitioned
the federal court to issue writ of
habeas corpus directing the chief of
police Of Lake Mills to release him
and the petition was granted.
Cloud Immediately brought suit in
the federal court on the ground that
the city ordinance is in violation of
the constitution of the United States
and the state of Wisconsin and that
the ordinance is unreasonable, eXtor-
tionate and prohibitory in that it
provides for daily license fee
of SIS.
The city of Lake Mills contends
that the question is one for state
courts and not federal court. Judge
Sanborn will decide the case early in
December
