by that company May S, 1912, and May
3, 1913, with another application for

Proctor law, the system is that when
a -cOmpany-procures a
license, someone must be designated
as agent against whom the public
can proceed in case Of law violations.
1t was not left absolutely plain as to
When Colonel Sullivan did become the
agent OF the hotel company; whether
in May. 1912, or May, 1913. Conylc-
tons of the colonel for violating the
saloon laws in Nay, 1912, in June,
1913. and in April, 1914, were shown.

the convictions.
Other witnesses sworn were Chris

his oath He admitted that the sale
was not consummated until after he
had been notified of the proceedings
taken TO revoke the license. but de-
MES that the notice precipitated the
sale. He insists that negotiations had
been under way before, and were only
then cOnsummated.
IT looked at first as though the col

hearing without a lawyer, Attorney
Kurtz failing 20 put in an appearance.
Sullivan asked for delay, asserting
that his counsel was busy in the cir

thing wrong with the claim. Sullivan
was allowed fifteen minutes in which

JUDGMENT AGAINST SELF
Leo Van Hessche Awarded S7O9.S5 by
Judge Funk.

Leo Van Hessche sued himself in
the circuit court on Monday and Sc
cured a judgment in his own favor
against himself for S7G9.S5 This
rather ambiguous assertion is eN-
planned however. by the fact that
Van HesSchc was acting in the ca
pacity OF administrators of the estate
OF TheOpbile Van Hessche and TINT
he brought suit against himself as ad-
ministTatOr.
Romig and Miller represented both
Van HesSche and the estate but this
dual capacity was slightly TOO much
and Attorney w. @. Crabill represent
ed the estate in the action. Van
Hessche's claim against the estate
was for S769.61 and Of this he col
lected S7O9.S5.

CIVILIZATION EXTENDED.

New complications have set IN
by Japan sending a ultimatum
to Germany to withdraw the
German warships from the Ori-
ent, and to evacuate Kiau-Chau,
and given until Sunday to COM
ply with the demands OF Japan.
If Germany does not comply it,
means that another strong naval
power has been added to those
already against Germany, and it
only makes it more futile for
Germany to ever win in the
life struggle Emporer William
brought on himself needlessly.
When the war started Japan
intimated it's sympathy with
ENGLAND, but it did not intend to
become involved unless the triple
alliance undertook to invade her
territory; now since matters have
reached a more serious state, it

pool and had quiet conference with
the president Of large cotton man
ufactnring establishment. When the
merchant-farmer returned home he
exhibited to his fellow merchants and
farmers contract, whereby he was
to purchase cotton on his local mar
ket, ship It to the nearest compress
and then bill 1t direct to the European
manufacturer It was the first time
in the history Of the cotton industry
that European manufacturer and a
local cotton buyer had been brought
together. It was the f-st attempt that
had ever been made to eliminate the
middle-men IN the handling Of the
worlds greatest crop. In that contract
the European manufacturers and the
American producer had been brought
closer together than ever before In
the history Of the cotton industry
Able lawyers who passed upon the
provisions Of the contract said that 1t
granted an equal measure Of proeec-
ton to both buyer and seller. F4nan-
c;ers who looked 1t ever said It was
the beginning Of g new and better
era in the handling Of the cotton crop,
in that it brought the Southern cotton
field to the Threshold Of the European
