TRADE UNIONS OBJECT
To Placing Women in Positions Held
 Formerly By Soldiers.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
 London, Feb. 26.-The proposal to the trade unions made by H. J. Ten nant M. F., under-secretary of war, that the men help recruiting by al- lowing women to take their places, is not received with corlality by the labor leaders. To give women tenn porary jobs, they reply, would result in serious industrial trouble when the men were discharged from the army. Already the encroachment of women upon the work of men has caused the trade uniOnists considerable uneasi- ness. If women were given the jobs, another crisis, says the unions, would arise at the end of the war because of their natural objection to being turned out; or, what is worse the men having wives in the factories would let them remain as the SUD- porters of the household.
 Workingmen have not hung back in the present war, and while no exact figures are available for all the trades, the percentage of enlistments is known to be high. The dock labor CTS have a quarter of their numbers in the army, and out of 10000 steam engineers, 4,0O0 are now wearing khaki

Broadway and Frederick to the ma
chine shops on North Maint street, two
young men We're lodged in the City
Jail on 4 charge of unbecoming con-
duct and peace disturbance.
The two men were walking east on
Broadway near Frederick street, and
had been using boisterous language.
PatrOman TaIley, who was on Fred
crick street, just south of Broadway,
heard them and hurried to Broadway.
When he reached the scene the men
were walking east, and the policeman
crept up behind two other men who
were walking down Broadway behind
the peace disturbers.
When the patrolman got close
enough to the pair, he darted from be-
hind his human hiding place and at
tempted to Overtake the men. They
saw him as he started for them and
fled. Mr.. Talley overlook one of the
men, but the other Outdistanced the
policeman while he was taking charge
Of his prisoner.
TaIley followed the second man and
remained close enough behind him to
see him take refuge in the machine
shop on North Main street. He mott
fled Patrolman Whitener, who walks
the downtown beat, and he went to the
machine shop, while PatrOlman Talley
walked to the depot with his PRISONER,
and watched to prevent the man from
making his escape along the river.
The man who was hiding in the ma
chine shop, was not aware that his
companion had been captured, and he
was whistling signals to him. The po-
liceman followed the whistling and
came up to within few feet of where
he was hiding When he discovered
Whitener, he fled north. The police
man fired a shot in the air, but the
man, instead of stopping, took on more
speed.
He turned south and ran into the
sheds Just in the rear of Mayor Kage's
office with the policeman hot on the
trail When he attempted to get over
fence Whitener fired a shot and the
man stopped and yelled to his pur-
suer not 10 shoot any more.

PRINTING IS In A
TRANSITION STAGE
Jackson Editor Tells Contempt
raries to go Careful in Buy
ing Machinery.

Fred f. kies, Jackson editor and
member Of veteran newspaper fam
lily who published the Jackson Items
and the FOlksfreund, last night de-
clared that the effect of new factors
in business have made it necessary for
the editor-publisher to undertake new
lines of endeavor to make his paper a
success.
Mr.. kies was addressing the men,
bers of the Southeast Missouri Editor
ial Association ut the Commercial Club
on the question of machine type COM
position as against the hand-set meth
DDS. He said:
Every merchant in every small
town knows that the telephone, the
parcel post and the automobile are
affecting his business. If that bust
ness is unfavorably affected, it will
not fail to make itself felt in the local
newspaper office.
owe are, it seems to me, in a period
Of transition, and in number of
smaller towns, unless there is lot of
straight matter composition, the pur-
chase Of an expensive typesetting ma
chine is a doubtless venture"
Mr.. Kies was discussing the ad-
visibility for a country newspaper
shop to invest in an automatic type
setting machine.
In his address, he recalled the days
in Southeast Missouri when the print
ing was being done on the old-fashiOn
Washington hand press, and a jobber
that was run by footpower. Those
conditions have given away to modern
machinery, he said, and in many of the
shops in this part of the State, high
priced instruments will be found to
do the typesetting and printing.

; The case heard by the Supreme
Court affected not only the land in
Cape Girardeau County, but in the en-
tire drainage district as well. In max
ing the tax levy, about 100000 acres
were included in the drainage dis
! trict.
Mr.. r. B. Oliver Jr., one of the at
torneys for the drainage district, when
! told of the outcome of the case by a
reporter for The Tribune last night,
expressed his pleasure at the an
noWcement.
He remarked that the decision Of the
Supreme Court is a sweeping victory
for the drainage district and removes
an obstruction Of long standing.
The penalty that is attached to the
taxes is simply in the nature of fine
for their not having observed the law
in the case instead of following the
belief of Mr.. Houck, he said.
81 am sorry to hear that we have
lost the case" Mr.. Hardesty said,
when he had been informed of the Su-
preme Courts decision By The Tribune
last night.
"Of course, we do not know yet what
the details of the opinion may contain.
There may be dissenting voice in the
court. ! believe that we will file a
motion for a new hearing in the case,
from what l know now.
at is true, however, that you can't
block q great improvement like the
drainage work comprises. 1t is a great
work that it will perform, but it
brushes a lot of people in the making
and we believe, rests unjustly on lot
Of people, although the ultimate end
is good thing.
eve asked for an assessment of
the tax that was disputed on basis
of benefits rather than the flat tax of
p cents an acre that was imposed.
There 5 much of the land included in
the drainage district that lies in Cape
County that will not be benefited
what ever by the drainage work. In
fact, much of it has been turned into
places where overflow will be caught
and it works hardship on that land to
impose this tax"
In the opinion handed down by the
methods for the condemnation of
right OF way for drainage districts also
was upheld.

ARRESTS 2 FOR TRESPASSING
Mike Blank and Ed HUM to be Tried
Before Judge Willer,

Constable Scivally yesterday arrest
ed Mike Blank and Ed HUM, who
were charged with trespassing on the
grounds of William Stearns, a farmer
living north of the Cape. The two
boys were arrested on the complaint
of Stearns, who caught both boys on
his farm Thanksgiving afternoon.
The case will come up before Judge
Willer tomorrow morning when the
boys will enter their pleas. Both ad-
mitted having been on Stearns' prop
erty despite the fact that "no tres
passing" sign had been placed at the
fence. They told the Judge last night
that they did not see the sign.

indicated Levan's attorneys are o. A.
Knehans and Senator Thomas F. Lane.
Levan asserts that the three men he
names in his petition for damages
were in the "nightrider" gang that
took him from his house, tied him and
beat him with water soaked ropes.
Levan is the only witness who will
be able to swear the defendants are
the ones implicated in the horsewhip-
ping. For that reason, it is believed
that his case may fall flat when it
goes to trial.
1t was said in Blodgett following the
horsewhipping episode, that Levan
was whipped because of alleged peep
iing tom practices he had performed
on windows in the town.

The suit has a long and intricate
history in Cape County and has been
one of the most bitterly fought in the
history Of the Little River Drainage
District.
1t was argued before the Supreme
Court October 26 and 81, last by
Maj. Giboney Houck and b. C. Har-
desty for the protesting land owners,
and by Senator R. b. Oliver and r. B.
Oliver Jr., for the drainage district.
The Supreme Court met yesterday
at noon for the purpose of handing
down several opinions, one Of which
was the Cape Girardeau County case.
The suit first was brought by
large number Of Cape Girardeau land
owners aided by men owning land in
other counties in the drainage district
affected by the new tax. The suit ask
ed an Injunction against the assess
ment of the tax levy, and was filed in
the Cape County Circuit Court, in
1910. The State statute on which the
tax was based was passed and APP
proved in 1909.
The law authorized the levy of
tax of not more than 30 cents an acre
for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penseS of making a preliminary in
vestigation to determine the cost of
creating a drainage district.
In Southeast Missouri, when the
Little River Drainage District was or
ganiZed and the tax of % cents an
acre imposed, a protest was voiced
against the tax. Mr. Louis Houck was
one of the leaders in the protest.
They contended that inside of Cape
County there is much land in the
drainage district which, although, is
capable of being improved and benefit
ed by the drainage work, will be made
into catch basins to receive the over
flow water from the diversion chan
mel.
These lands have been taxed in the
same manner as the rest, and upon
this point, Mr.. Houck proceeded to test
the constitionality of the law author
izing the tax.
Former Circuit Judge c. &. Faris,
tried the case in the Cape County
Circuit Court and refused the injunc-
ton against the tax that had been ask
ed in the suit.
1t was appealed to the State Su-
preme Court where an opinion was
handed down affirming the lower
courts decision. To this decision there
was one dissenting voice. An appeal
thereupon was taken to the U. S. Su-
preme Court at Washington.
Meantime after the State Supreme
Court had held that the law was con-
stitutional and that the tax was law
full, many of the land owners who had
Joined in the protest, gave in and paid
the 25 cents tax per acre.
They escaped the heavy penalty that
will be attached to the tax to be paid
by Mr.. Houck and those who remain
ed with him. About 6 per cent of the
total taxes is all that remains unpaid.
In addition to Mr.. Houck, there is one
man in Dunklin County who has held
out on the tax payment on large
tract Of land.

LAID DOWN POINT OF LAW
Mississippi Judgment Is That Plaintiff
Must Come Into Court With
Clean Hands.

In suit for damages against a tele-
graph company heard by the supreme
court Of Mississippi in Western Union
Telegraph VS.. McLudin it appeared
that plaintiff had received two tele-
grams from a woman known to be an
improper person, The company's mes
senger informed various persons that
the plaintiff had received these mes
sages from the woman in question,
thus betraying his intimacy with the
sender, and, as he charged in his COM
plant, caused him to lose caste with
respectable women and forced him to
resign his position where he then lived
and take another less lucrative else
where. In holding that there could be
no recovery against the company the
court said:
If plaintiff cannot open his case
without showing that he has broken
the law court will not aid him. 1t
has been said that the objection may
often sound very Ill in the mouth of
the defendant. but 1t is not for his
sake the objection is allowed; it is
founded on general principles OF pol
icy which he shall have the advan-
tage Of, contrary to the real justice
between the parties. The principle
OF public policy is that no court VIII
lend its aid to party who grounds
his action upon an immoral or Illegal
act"
