DR0UTH IS BROKEN
Hotel Proprietors Suddenly Come
To Relief of Thirsty Patrons
WILL FIGHT COURT RULING
Hotel Owners Apply for Rehear'ns
and Declare Intention of TAX
ino Case to United States
Supreme Court.

Des Moines, June 1.-two Des
Moines hotels, the Chamberlain ana
the Kirkwood, resumed serving nq-
uor in their cafes yesterday alter
noon under the old system which was
recently declared violation OF the
mulct law by the supreme court OF
the state.
A number of minor cafes and res
taurants following the lead OF the
hotel men re-established the service,
and last night the Slavery and Elliott
were practically the only places
where the practice was formerly ID
vogue that the lid was held intact.
A conference was held last night
between George NJ. Christian and
Howard l.. Hedrick, proprletors OF
the Slavery and Elliott hotels, to de-
termine whether their cafes should
resume liquor service. Announce
ment of their decision will be made
today. The action of the hotel and
restaurant men in reOpenlng their
places of business to liquor service
was taken following the filing OF no
tice of an appeal for review ana
rehearing of the decision recently
handed down by the high court. This
move, the hotel men were informed,
will prove an effectual bar to prosecu'
ton on the ruling for thirty days.
That many more days will be added
by the perfection OF the appeal, they
state.
The supreme court has indicated
that it will not take up the appeal
for a rehearing until the September
term of court and the local men who
are interested declare that they have
the hands of the anti-saloon element
tied until that time, so far as the
enforcement of the law is concerned.

Officers Named for Imaginary Army

was a more real, more tangible and
more formidable force than the ghost
ly army OF United States volunteers.
It's joker in the Dick militia bill. en-.
acted into law by congress on May q.
1908.
The Dick bill originally provided for
an actual army Of United States volun.
teers similar to the volunteers who en-.
listed for the Spanish-American war
after state organizations were found
to be troublesome.
The bill also provided for a separate
section for an eligible list from which
officers were to be commissioned when
the army of United States volunteers.
subject only to the will of the com.
mander-in-chief of the armies of the
United States, might be called into be-
ing In condition Of war.
The section providing for the vol
unteer army was stricken from the bill
in the course of legislative wrangle
over the privilege of the states to or
ganiZe volunteers. The authority Gre.
ating the army was thus destroyed. but
the contingent section bringing into ex.
istence the list of eligibles for the
armys commissioned offifficers was not
disturbed. The bill thus passed con-
gress, disembodying the army but pro-
viding officers for it. That is why
the war department is now qualifying
men as eligibles.

PAROLE is DENIED PRISONER
The Parole Board Refuses to Show
Mercy Upon the Plea That Pris-
oner Has Suffered Enough

Des Moines, June 1.-THE hopes
of an imprisoned man were blasted
today when the parole board refused
to parole l.. r. Van Tassel, serving
life sentence for killing his young
wife fifteen years ago. The crime was
committed near Ionia, in ChickasaW
county. A skilled Chicago detective
claimed to have secured confession
from Van Tassel (who always claim
ed his innocence), and upon the evil
dence of the detective and circum-
stantial evidence, Van Tassel was
convicted. The parole board, review
ing the case, says that the evidence
shows that Van Tassel committed the
murder, disregarding the alleged con-
fession, and that the law is the
law" The board refuses to show
mercy on the theory that Van Tassel
has suffered enough and should be
allowed to enter the world and live
life of usefulness.

Would Label the Unspoken "Speeches"

uscript intended for the consumption
of his constituents, at the expense Of
the United States government.
1T is the only honest way" de-
clared Murdoch to the correspondent.
The Record, under the present sys-
tenn, is not true report of the pro-
ceedings Of the house. 1t may we'll
be that an article Of value, prepared
by a member of congress, should be
printed in the Record. but 1t should be
so designated.
1.-THE first result of labelling things
in the record by their right names
would be the abandoning of the pres
ent abuse by individual representa-
tives. When mans constituents be-
gin to ask him, Did you really deliver
this speech. or did you just have II
printed he will quit the practice.
Congress could not possibly afford
the time that would be necessary for
the delivery Of all the speeches that
appear In the Record. Therefore.
speeches will have to be shortened.

more interest in cases of dismissed en-
ployees. Witnesses have pointed out
to the committee that the commission
will not act in the case Of dismissed
employee unless 1t has prima facie evi.
dence that the dismissal was because
of politics. 1t is next to impossible,
say the dismissed employees who have
testified, to prove that men were re-
moved from the service through polit'
ical influence.
Some of the new members OF tho
house who have become much interest

ployees believe a remedy of some sort
will be found in the committee on civil

mo, Miss Selma Lue, not worse;
It's the mortgage agai.4. Mr.. Everson
was out Monday, and he says the
the whole place will have to be sold.
He has good proposition from the
land company, which wants to pave
and improve the whole tract and push
It on the market for us; but they
must have the house too, for the
situation Is valuable and they can
sell 1t to the Golf club. which will
insure the sale of all the lots. If we
don't take their offer, it means we
shall have to sell it all at disad-
vantage and perhaps only make the
mortgage. Mother refuses to decide
1t for herself and has left it to me.
What shall l do? don't want-to
sell-my home. but there seems no
way to keep It," Miss Cynthia's lips
quivered, but her eyes smiled bravely
down at Miss Selma Lue.
Honey my heart is jest a-aching
fer you, but there amt nobody can
tell what a mortgage and a Golf club
will do. If worst comes to worst. we
can build another room by tearing
down some lumber often the barn. and
you can bring your ma right here to
live with me. l would admire to
have her." Miss Selma Lue made
her offer with heroic eagerness. for
she and the invaded Mrs. Jackson
Page had failed to find the accord
which existed between the grocery
owner and the scion Of all the Jack
sons and Pages, albeit their few inter-
views had been marked by great cor

"Oh. Miss Selma lue, I knew you
would say the right thing about it all.
What would | do without you?" and
Miss Cynthia's slim white hand stole
IN Miss Selma Lue's strong brown
one, whose sympathetic clasp was only
rendered the closer by the smudge
