Major Not to Urge Holiday

Jefferson City, Mo. June 80. Gov.
Major will not issue proclamation
asking the people of Missouri to OBJ
serve July 5 as a holiday as well as
the 18th.
The Governor, after considering
the matter, decided that only small
percentage of the people could OBJ
serve the day as holiday.
Farmers are in the midst of their
busiest season, and many of them
will have to work on the 18th. In the
smaller cities the busiest day OF the
week with the business men and
tradesmen usually is Saturday. They
could not take a holiday on the 9Th ii
the wanted to.
The Governor feels he cannot is,
sue a proclamation not backed by
legal authority declaring the day
holiday.

Severe Wind and
Electrical Storm

A heavy wind and a severe elec-
trical storm accompanied the drouth
breaking down pour of rain which
swept over the western part OF the
county and this city Monday evening.
The storm came from the south
west reaching here between four and

outbuildings.

tricts to secure rural high schools in

cisive votes today. The votes were

BARKER THREATENS
CRIMINAL SUITS IN
INSURANCE WAR
Men Who Advised Combination Open
to Prosecution Through Anti
trust Affidavits

Jefferson City, July 1.-The fact
that fire insurance companies are
continuing their fight in the Supreme
Court and before Supt. Revelle, re-
fusing to return to the State after the
Supreme Court has decided that they
have violated the antitrust law in
combining to quit the State, has
caused Attorney General Barker to
decide to fight with all the power the
State possesses.
The Supreme Court decided, in an
opinion by Judge Woodson, that the
Oliver law did not repeal the anti
trust law, and that the companies
were in combination in violation OF
the laws of the State.
This being true, the antitrust affi-
davits which the companies have filed
with the Secretary Of State for the
last two years make the officers who
filed them subject to prosecution.
The parties and the attorneys for the
companies, who advised the agree
ment at Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
may be subject to prosecution, GRIM
minally, for entering into that agree
ment. The Cole County grand jury
will meet on the third Monday in
July, and the matter then could be
presented to that body.
The fact that Thomas Bates, gen.
eral attorney for the companies has
advised the companies not to file
their antitrust affidavits until he
tells them to do so, has aggravat-
the situation. These affidavits are
due today.

Editors Rights Defined

New York, July IA newspaper
has a legal right to expose business
firms methods of doing business, pro-
vided the motives of its publishers
"are open to the belief that they are
in good faith exposing those who are
overreaching the simple and abusing
the confidence of the credulous." }"
This was the substance Of an opin-
ion handed down today by Judge
Hand in the Federal Court, denying
motion made by the F. A. Strout
Farm Agency for an injunction re-
straining the Rural Publishing Com
pany from publishing threats to ex-
pose the plaintiffs business methods
and from writing letters to the firms
customers.
"While editors are not exempt from
the common motives of other men, y
wrote Judge Hand, "they may, and
in this case did, entertain general
desire to help their readers and ex-
pose such as may practice upon their
credulity. That is very admirable
purpose in a newspaper. The re-
fusal of the plaintiff advertising long
before this controversy became acute
is cOrrObOratiOn of that motive

Big Feature of Red Cross
Seal Campaign to be Elm
mated This Season.
MOVEMENT GROWS RAPIDLY

Prizes for the sale Of Red Cross
Christmas Seals will not be given this
year by the Wisconsin Anti -Tubercu-
losis Association Several thousand
dollars worth Of prizes, donated for the
purpose by manufacturer of vacuum
cleaners and other sanitary devices
have been features of former seal cam
paigns in Wisconsin, which have been
the most successful in this country, and
the results Of this change in policy will
be watched with much interest.
"The giving Of valuable prizes has
helped largely in making the sale of
Christmas Sells in Wisconsin the larg-
est per capita of population in the
United States, said Otto F. Bradley,
campaign manager of the association,
but we feel that they are no longer
needed either to stimulate effort, or
for purposes of publicity. The vital
Importance to the people of the anti
tuberculosis crusade and the accom-
piishments Of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association are both suf-
fciently well known now to demand the
support Of the general public.
Before decision was reached in
making this change questionaires were
sent to thousand managers and teach
ers in the state The replies were al
most equally divided advising the con
tinuing and disseminating of the state
prizes, though there was slight ma
jority in favor of the latter. 1t is ex-
pected that managers will arrange for
the giving of prizes locally, but none
viii be offered for competition between
different cities and villages. II

TENEMENT HOUSE DAMAGED.
Big Blaze in Jacobs Tenement on Ash
land Ave. Caused Firemen to Hurry.

Fire which broke out in the tene-
ment house at the corner of Ashland
avenue and Garden street, owned by
Peter Jacobs, just before one clock
sunday afternoon, caused considerable
concern among the members of the fire
department. At the time a high wind
was blowing and sparks from the burn
ing roof of the building were being
thrown into the lumber yards of the
Balm Wagon Company. The fire had
started from sparks from chimney
and 1t spread rapidly to the roof of the
old building. When the firemen reach
ed the place the roof was mass Of
flames. Chief Isermann at once put
men over IN the lumber yard to keep a
close watch on the flying sparks More
than twenty people live in the old house
and when they discovered the fire there
was mad scramble to save household
furniture. There was no need to take
anything from the house as the fire
was extinguished before it got below
the roof. Notwithstanding the high
wind the flames were not carried to any
other building in the neighborhood

MISS HEYMAN'S DEBUT.
Many Kenosha People Enjoy Splendid
Recital Given Ia Chicago Sunday.


Many Kenoska people went to Chi
eago on Sunday afternoon to attend a
recital at the Howard Theatre which
marked the debut of Miss Dora Hey
man Of Kenosha, as concert pianiste.
Musical critics today are high in their
praise of the recital given by Miss
Heyman. She showed the real spirit of
the artist and rendered an unusually
difficult program in a manner to arouse
enthusiasm among her hearers. She
showed great talent and played with a
technique which was surprising to the
critics. The piano is to her natural
medium Of expression, but it also is
evident that she has been excellently
taught. Her training has been receiv-
ed entirely in Chicago from Miss Della
Thai. Miss Heyman opened her pro-
gram with the Liszt transcription of
Bach's organ prelude in A minor. It's
quite considerable mechanical Difficult
ties she mastered with ease without,
however, achieving notable definition
Of its musical significance. Paderew-
ski variations were more within her
grasp unsteady and she made the most
of their opportunities for technical dis
play. Especially attractive in her
Chopin group was the etude in Il
minor, OPP. 25.
