NO INJUNCTION IN
 AMBROS|A CASE IS
 HIGH COURT RULE
Writ Prohibiting Carrying Out Order of Local City Judges Issued by AssO-
 ciate Justice

Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special.)- Jon the petition of Attorney General William l.. Martin, Associate Justice Thomas c. Me- Cqelan, of the supreme court today is- sued a writ of prohibition restraining the operation of the injunction granted by Judges c. w. Ferguson, John H. Mill Ter and John C. Pugh, of the city court of Birmingham, allowing the sale of Fehr's "Ambrosa" in Jefferson county. The order of the supreme court requires Judges Ferguson, Miller and Pugh to ap- pear before that tribunal on Thursday, October 5, to show cause why the writ of prohibition should not be made perma- nanent pending the final adjudication of the case.
 The supreme court, several weeks ago. at the request of the attorney general dismissed the appeal in the "Ambrosia' case on the grounds that it was moot question. The compliments then obtained from Judges Ferguson, Miller and Pugh an injunction restraining and enjoning the sheriff of Jefferson county, and his deputies, from arrestng complainant for selling or keeping for sale this particular beverage.
 Following the granting or lnlS hhJuliS- ton, Attorney General Martin applied to Associate Justice Mcclellan for writ of prohibition restraining the operation or enforcement of the lower courts order. Application was made to Associate Jus tice Mcclellan in the absence of Chief Justice John c. Anderson. In his petition for writ of prohibition, Attorney Gen. eral Martin claimed that the city court of Birmingham had no authority to issue the injunction in that court of equity has no authority or jurisdiction to arrest or restrain official action in the enforce ment of criminal laws.
 Following is the order of the supreme court:
 This petition having been this day presented to me for order thereon (the court being in vacation) 1t Is hereby or dered that the clerk of this court issue rule nisi directed to Judges c. w. Fergu- son, John H. Miller and John C. Pugh, judges of the city court of Birmingham, Alabama commanding them to appear

 When all your friends are away vaca-

 in the great city, you are not conscious
 that you are missing anything. and you could be happy. except for the highly colored vacation postals. Every summer mail brings drift of them Your stenographer Is posing as an
 heiress down at Clamville- -by-the- and crowded onto the address side of a pc- ture postal showing the hotel at which she is not stopping, is her hope that everything is going all right at the of fice," and she's having a glorious time' and may she taken an extra week at her own expense"
 Perhaps you could endure all the other pictured paradises that come to you from the vacation corners of the earth if Tom Blake. in his arrogance, hadn't sent you one of those photo postals. Every sea-
 son previously, you and Tom have been off on fishing trips together and have never caught anything larger than a sar- dine And now, here he is. posed with a fish as large as a Shetland pony. As you gaze at the picture. you realize, for the first time, what a homely man Tom really is. Someone ought to tell Tom ] that he's too plain man to have his
 picture taken with fish; there isn't
 enough contrast.

Irish Rebel Loses Appeal in High Court, But Attorneys Have
 Hopes of Reprieve

London, July 1S-Without hearing the attorneys for the crown, the court of criminal appeal today dismissed Sir Roger Easements appeal from the verdict Of the lower court, which found him guilty of treason, for which Viscount Reading, the lord chief justice, sentenced him to death.
 For a day and half Alexander Sulli- van, Sir Rogers counsel, argued before the court, quoting many authorities in favor of his contention that the offense of treason depended upon whether the accused dwet under the protection of the committed without the realm. He aban- doned his other points in regard to the lord chief justices definition of the case.
 A further appeal is possible only if the attorney general gives a certificate that the decision of the court of criminal ap~ peal involves a point of law so excep- tionally important that it is desirable in the public interest that a still higher court should deal with it. This has been done only twice since the court of crim- inal appeal was established eight years ago.
 Justice Darling, in delivering the judg- ment, expressed the indebtedness of the court to MT. Sullivan for his well con- sidered and well delivered arguments as to justice, adding that they were worthy of the best traditions of the Kings courts but he declared that they had been an- swered by the attorneys of the crown at the first trial. Attorney Michael Francis Doyle of Philadelphia. of counsel for Sir Roger, said today that powerful influ- ences are working for reprieve and there were strong hopes of one being granted.

THE best loved man lit Ans
ka!"
It's the Northland's tribute to
one of it's stalwarts-men whose
vision and valor has at length
forced the government to accord
sourdoughs some of the benefits
merited by pioneers.
Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe OF
the Protestant Episcopal church
is the best loved man" because
he has made himself an inspiring
factor in the life of every human
being he's come in contact with
during his long service in Alaska
He's a big, two-fisted man of
God. And he was on the job tend
ing souls when there wasn't
much law of either God or man
north of '53.
Busted miners, needing cour-
age; shy Indian children; abused,
outlaw dogs; DULLES of the camp
and trail; sinners and near-saints
all found a friend in Bishop
Rowe.
Over thousands of miles of ter
rible trail he's pulled his own sled
or mushed with the dogs.
He has frozen and starved with
the poor, been the honored guest
of the rich, and has played host
to every one who came within lis
reach, while, Indian and breed.
Before gold was discovered,
Peter Trimble Rowe was trailing
across all Alaska, visiting his mis-
, sion outposts.
Eating salmon belly and penn
mican and moose steaks with
trapper, fisherman and musher;
with barbarian natice and hardy
adventured of his own race. He
wasn't bishop then.
Just a sort of itinerant spiritual
adviser and pal of humans who
needed a han dand word OF
cheer.
7, And although he can flay like
] an Arctic storm, when his anger
/ is reused, he has always been toll
erent of the ordinary failings OF
| red blooded men.
Once he helped a profane
musher on a soggy trail untan gle
bis dogs. The stranger had never
met Bishop Rowe and didn't rec.
ognize him.
"How's the going ahead oil
me?" asked the bishop, as they
we're parting.
The description was a torrent
of damnation that would have
keeled the ordinary pastor over.
And how's the trail ahead o.
me?" concluded the stranger.
Same kind" laconically re
! Joined Bishop Rowe.

CHICAGO, April. Fear of
death by violence was the only
shadow, according to friends, that
ever marred the gay and care
free life of Mrs. Agnes Middleton,
pretty young milliner, whose mys-
FERROUS death is battling the po-
lice.
The shadow became substance
when Mrs. Middleton was found
dead in her bed, her head multi
lated by hammer and her
throat cut by a razor.
The razor was tangled in her
blood-soaked hair, a blood-spotted
hammer was foudn on ne back
steps OF the millinery shop, which
was her home.

ulant.
DR.. Guy Ireland, South Taco
ma physician, took one slant at
Mcmillan and decided he was in
bad way so he wrote out a
prescription for quart of spirits
frumenti, or in other words, just
plain booze. The doses prescribe
ed called for four tablespoonfuls
nine times a day.
This prescription was one of 81
found In box at the Gill Drug
Co.'S South Tacoma store yes
terday. The 81 prescriptions to-
gether with the sales recorded
on the registry called for approx
imately 80 gallons of legitimate
sales.
In the permits issued by the
county auditor the firm obtained
several barrels of whisky and
wine. Yet the stock found in
the sotre did not constitute a
fifth of the amount bought by
the firm.
The state will attempt to show
that the liquor was kept in stock
for the purpose of Illegal sale.
