officials here are certain that the Bri-
tannic sunk was their boat, the larg-
est ship afoat. They reached the con-
clusion because the liner had been
requisitioned by the British for hos

ADAMS0N BILL
IS colo BRICK;
!, 7OH|CH COURT.
Judge Hook at Kansas City
Knocks Out Wilson, $ Pet
Measure
CASE TO BE APPEALED ..
TO SUPREME TRIBUNAL
Decision Merely Expedited Move.
ment to Get Final Ruling on
Issue

Kansas City. Nov. 22.-Judge Wal.
lace Hook in federal court here today
held that the Adamson eight-hour bill
is unconstitutional and invalid. He
refused to pass on an application
made by receivers of the Missouri and
Gulf railway that injunction against
the Adamson law be dismissed. Fed.
eral attorneys expect to take the case
to the supreme court at once and test
the validity of the act there.
Judge Hooks decision asserts that
this is an independent suit to enjoin
the enforcement of the recent act OF
congress, commonly known as the
Adamson law He bases his opinion
on the ground that it is contrary to
the constitution and in character typi-
cal to the number recently filed
through the United States question
ing the constitutionality of the law.
The court then informed that the
other cases stand now on application
. for temporary Injunction. The ap.
peal from the final order for the in.
functions goes direct to the United
States supreme court. There ques-
tions will be definitely settled for the
entire country. The assistance Of
this court is necessary to facilitate the
final and the authoritative determina-
ton of the constitutionality question
The case was presented yesterday
and the decision was handed down to-
day, it being far from an, agreeable
duty for Judge to record; judicial
conclusion without care and deliber,
alton, and upon consideration Of the
Adamson law and its practical effect,
this courts judgment consuues. it
cannot be sustained u~Iy +->ta...,. -,

First, the constitutional amendment

vote on the amendment in &c counties

stitutional amendment receives a ma
jority of the votes cast on the prop

part of the constitution.
The 36 counties reporting to the
secretary of state include both friends
and foes of the proposition. The for
mer may be said to be every county
in the state which has no education
