of the navy been shown as 1t is In

LAW YERS DISPUTE
COMMISSIONS STAND
And People Who Moved Across Pine
street Are In a Quandary.

The election commission, composed
of R. F. Kennedy, ]. E. Arledge, and j.
A. Beaumont, several days ago issued
a statement that any person who has
moved across Pine street since the
last general election will be ineligible
to vote in city election until they
have re-registered in the county and
lived in the new beat for at least a
year. This statement has been chal-
lenged by several lawyers, who main
tain that the law provides that this is
not necessary in municipal elections.
D. e. Sullivan, attorney for the COM
mission, refuses to give out statement
as to his opinion in the matter until
ordered to do so by the commission.
The books close tomorrow leaving
all those who have moved across Pine
street during the year in a quandary
as to whether or not they will be per
mitted to exercise their prerogative Of
the suffrage to determine who shall
be in charge of the city affairs. The
election is only few days off and the
voters who have moved will not know
how they stand until they go to cast
their ballot

ONE YARD OF KISS
ENOUGH For HER
Movie Censor Says It Mustn't Last
Longer Than SO Seconds.

Philadelphia, June 24.-Mrs. Cyrus
Niver, the only woman member of the
new State Moving Picture Censorship
Board, has come to the conclusion
that one yard of film is long enough
for any kiss, after several weeks spent
here in passing on thousands of yards
of love-drama films.
j., Love scenes and historic romances,
thrilling escapes and runaways, har-
rowing deathbed repentances and wild
elopements, the excess of poverty and
the extreme of wealth, all pass in re-
view before her. She judges each film
from the viewpoint of adolescence.
Will it harm the child? What effect
will it have on the grown boy or girl?
These are the questions Mrs. NiveI
asks herself.
She has sat through yards and yards
CT kisses of every variey, and hel
ultimatum, after watching an EN-
brace which occupied five yards o
film, was that four yards should bt
eliminated and that the young people
should be torn from each other aftel
thirty-six seconds of osculation.

STERILIZATION
LAW Declared VOID
,uDssaFULEst THAT PRISONERS
sHACL NOT BE DEPRIVED OF
~ PRocREATIvE POWERS.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Keokuk, Ia, June 24.-The Iowa va
sectomy, or sterilization law passed
by the last general assembly, was de-
clared unconstitutional, null and void
in decision filed by Judge Smith Nc
Pherson of Red Oak, Ia, United States
District Judge of the Southern District
of Iowa, here today.
The decision, which was written by
Judge Mcpherson, and affects similar
laws in other staes, grants the writ
of temporary injunction applied for
by Rudolph Davis, an inmate of the
state penitentiary, enjoining the mem
bers of the board of parole, the war
den and the penitentiary physician
from causing the operation of vasecto-
my to be performed upon the complain
ant.
Judge Walter I. Smith, United States
! Circuit Judge for this, the Sth district,
and Judge John C. Pollock, United
States District Judge for the District
! Of Kansas, concurred with Judge Nc
| Pherson.
! The defendants in the case were
! William H. Berry, John F. Howe and
David C. Mott, constituting the Iowa
State Board of Parole; James C. Sand
ers, warden of the penitentiary, and
! Austin F. Phipott, penitentiary physi
clan.
The case" says the decision, sis
one of diversity of citizenship, with
federal questions presented by a bill
in equity with an application for a
temporary injunction to restrain de-
PENDANTS as state officers from enforc
ing chapter 1877 of the acts of the thir
ty-fifth general assembly Q913), au
thorizing a surgical operation called
vasectomy on idiots, feeble-minded
drunkards, drug-fiends, epileptics
syphilitics, moral and sexual perverts
and mandatory as to criminals who
have been twice convicted of felony
Complainant has been twice convict
ed of a felony, one of which was prior
to the enactment of the statute in
question (and in another state), and
the other since lin this state), and for
the latter he is now imprisoned. The
defendant board of parole in February
1914. made an order that the opera
ton should be performed upon certain
designated prisoners, including the
complainant. This actiop was brought
by the complainant for the purpose oi
enjoining each and every of the de
PENDANTS from subjecting him to the
operation.

Jackson, Miss, June 24.-The May
Mott-Lewis law limiting liquor ship |
ments to one gallon of whiskey at a
time, and two cases or one cask Of |
beer, will be carried to the United |
States Supreme Court for final test |
of its legality.
Appeal will be taken from the deci
sion rendered by the Mississippi Su
preme Court last Monday in which it
was held that the measure is constitu-
tional. The appeal will probably not
be taken, however, until the Supreme
Court passes on another branch of the
statute now under review, which pro-
hibits the keeping of liquor in locker
clubs. Several well-known fraternal
| organizations have engaged counsel to
! fight this clause.
A suggestion of error, based on the
decision of last Monday, will be filed
within the next few days, and in the
meantime the injunctions secured by
the several express companies to re-
strain the enforcement of the statute
will remain in effect. In other words,
the limit will not be placed on liquor
shipments until the mandate of the Su
preme Court is sent to the chancery
clerk of Warren county, and that can
not be done while the suggestion OF
error is pending.
May Suspend Enforcement.
1t is expected that the appeal to the
United States Supreme Court will also
act as a supercedas, preventing the
enforcement of the new law until the
tribunal of last resort renders its de
cision. At least, attorneys for the liti
gants will ask for a supercedeas at tho
same time they make request for writ
of error. In event both are granted il
may be two years, or longer, before the
fate of the statute is known, owing tC
the crowded condition of the docke
at Washington.
The chief basis of the appeal viii
be on the ground that the May-Mott
Lewis law is in interference with in
terstate commerce. 1t is expected tina
a very unique plea not involved in the
test made in the state courts will bt
offered to the effect that the law Il
in the nature of class legislation, mas
much as it puts different limits OF
various liquors. In other words, thu
appellants will want to know why thu
makers of the law regard one gallor
of whiskey as equal to two cases, one
cask, or one keg of beer.
