.CRUMP UPHOLDs CLAIM
OF LAFAYETTE COMPANY
Hands Down Opinion Declaring
Building Line Ordinance to
BE Unconstitutional.
ORDERS MANDAMUs IssUEI
Execution Of Order Is Suspended
Thirty Days to Allow City to File
Petition With Supreme Court OF
Appeals.

Holding the opinion that the ordi-
nance passed on June IL, 1915, cstab-
fishing building line on the south
side OF Grace Street. between Sharer
and Harrison. cannot be justified as an
exercise OF tho police power Of the
state. and that 1t is in violation OF the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, Judge
Crump, OF tho Law and Equity Court,
yesterday issued n writ OF mandamus
against Building Inspector Butler to
compel him to issue building permit
to the Lafayette Apartment Corpora
ton.
On notice from the City Attorney that
an appeal would be taken. Judge
Crump issued another order delaying
the execution of the writ OF mandamus
for thirty days until the appeal can
be prepared and heard.
ORDINANCE WAS PASSED
TO PROTECT CITIZENS
In his summing up. Judge Crump said
he was constrained to believe that the
ordinance was passed largely for the
protection OF the citizens objecting 10
the erection of the apartment house:
that 1t is an unreasonable restraint
upon the full use and control of the
real estate OF the petitioner, tho La
fayette Apartment Corporations; that
the establishment of the building limo
prescribed by the ordinance is not n
police regulation. and that II Is invalid
because II Is in conflict with the four
MI dina 20 hn
II Judge Crump's opinion as to the
validity OF the ordinance Of June 12
be upheld by the Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals. 1t Will have the effect OF declar-
ing invalid also the general ordinance
which empowers the City Council to es-
tablish building line whenever 1t
deems II to be necessary Judge
Crump, in his opinion. calls attention
to the fact that In several recent cases
the courts have had occasion to pass
upon the validity of building line ordi-
nances. and that, with the exception OF
one. in which the case was not decided
upon the merits of the ordinance, none
OF them was sustained
COMPANY REFUSED TO
ACCEPT TWENTY-FOOT LINE
In the proceeding acted upon yester-
day by Judge Crump, tho Lafayette
Apartment Corporation applied for
mandamus to compel the Building In
spector to grant n permit for the crec-
tion Of an apartment house Mt tho
southwest corner OF Grace and Shafer
Streets. No objection was raised
against the plans or materials OF con-
struction. but tho refusal to grant tho
permit was based upon the ordinance
Of Juno IL, prescribing building line

southern side of Grace street on tho

LONDON. August 14.-Affairs in the
Balkans are approaching a crisis.
While diplomatic negotiations are pro-
cceding in an effort to induce states
still neutral to cast their lot with one
side or the other. the central powers
have massed troops on the Balkan
frontiers. Their plan. It is supposed, Is
to force way through to relieve
Turkey, who is believed to be badly In
need OF shells
This concentration, which has beon
followed by an artillery attack on Ser
bian positions. is equally menace to
Roumania. which again has refused to
permit shells to pass through her ter
ritory to Turkey.
RoUAIANIAN ARMY
PARTIALLY MOBILIZED
The Roumanian army is already par
TALLY mobllized. and four divisions OF
reserves now have been called out,
Bulgaria has as yet made no move
while awaiting the reply of the quad
ruple entente to her demand that Ser-
bia and Greece concede Macedonia to
her in return for her military support.
This answer probably Will be forth
coming after the meeting OF the Greek
and Serbian Parliaments next week
The Serbans show an inclination to
make some concessions TO obtain the
support OF their former ally. Greece
is more firm in her refusal, but II is
believed here there may be a change
in her policy when former Premier
Venizelos returns to power. although
he has a strong pro-German party op-
posed 10 him. and. according to a tele-
gram from Berlin tonight. King Con-
stant!ne will offer him the premiership
only with the understanding that strict
neutrality be maintained. This was
the point upon which the King and NJ
Venizelos disagreed when new Cabi-
net was appointed and Parliament was
dissolved. Inasmuch as NJ Venizelos
was supported by the people at gem
eral election, it was thought the King
might fall into line. but the dispatch
from Berlin indicates he has not
changed his views.
BOUND ny TREATY
TO SUPPORT SERBIA
Should Bulgaria attack Serbia, how
ever. Greece is bound BY treaty TO sup-
port Serbia. With an apparent i'm
provement OF the Russian situation on
the eastern front, there are renewed
expressions OF confidence in the allied
countries. The Russians claim they
are continuing to drive the Germans
back from Riga and west OF Dytnsk,
and still are keeping them away from
the fortress OF Kovno. Although the
Austro Germans continue their VIC
torious advance in the south and south
west. the absence OF official mention OF
capture OF guns or munitions indicates

The cattle tick cost the Unit ed States approximately ESQ., 100000 during the past year, according to estimates just giv- en out by Dr. AID. Melvin, chief of the Federal Bureau of Ami nal Industry of Washington.
 This includes destruction of cattle, decreases in value of hides and in production ofmilk, etc.
 Government agents report great headway in the organized effort to eradicate the tick, which has resulted in the South ern farmer davoting more at tention to stock raising.

REPORT COTTON CROP
 WILL STILL BE LARGE
Newport Cotton Factors Say Total Yield For This Section Not Greatly Affected

The Lesser-Goldman Cotton hCo., of Newport, last Monday Ilssued the following report on the condition of the cotton crop in what they term the Newport territory, including the terri tory within a radius of 25 miles of Newport. The report follows.
 Based upon reports from our various correspondents and upon personal investigation and observation made during the past week, we are glad to say that the flood and rain damage to the entire territory has been less than might have been ex- .pected. While portions of this territory have suffered an al- most entire destruction of crops the percentage of damage to the whole territory is compara- lively small. Taking into con .sideration the fact that up to three weeks ago crop conditions in this territory were the best III years, our opinion is that the damage incident to rain and overflow will not reduce the cotton yield of the territory much if any below ten per cent less than an average.
 'The hill crop in the terri tory suffered little damage and Is in excellent shape. The high bottom lands have an average crop made and with late frost promise an exceptional one. We count the overflowed cotton as an entire loss as personal in- Vestigation has convinced us that no cotton that has been under water will be saved. Due to late opening and up to the recent rains, an almost perfect growing condition, we confi- .dently expect a good staple season.
 We have some complaints of rust and shedding, but these complaints are not unusual at this time in the season. But for the lamentable total loss of crops by some of our good friends, we would feel that this promises to be a fairly good season. .

 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con stipation. Do not delay too long, but begin proper curative measures.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are new remedy for this old complaint, and great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past They taste like candy and work like charm. A trial will convince you.
