With the stage all set here for the
opening Of the legal battle which is to
decide whether or not the mulct law

Is being held UP by the non-arrival Of
the transferred government stamp tax
from the collector OF internal revenue
at DubIs se. 1t will probably be sew

an answer received today by Attorney
Frank Ballinger from q letter sent
over week ago. Murphy states that
he is SO crowded with business that
he had to take things as they come
which sometimes causes several days
delay.
Attorney Ballinger was again in
communication over long distance
telephone yesterday afternoon with
Attorney General George Cosson dur
ing which plans Of procedure were
discussed. Cosson said that he would
not come to keokuk until summoned
by Attorney Ballinger. which would
be as soon as the government stamp
tax is received here. Attorney Bal
linger assured Cosson that he would
notify him SO that he would have
time to get to neokuk before the test
sale was made.
Both sides have now agreed on
habeas corpus proceedings which will
take the matter direct to the supreme
court OF Iowa. In this way, an early
decision can be secured. Nickel will
not be held under bonds and all pre-
liminaries will be waived.

WANT AERIAL PATROL
ON AMERICAN COASTS
Plans Being Made to Divide Entire
Coast Line Section OF Hun
dred Miles.

New York. Jan. 23.-The Aero Club
of America today asked the War
and Navy Department to cooperate
in scheme to establish an aerial
patrol on the Atlantic. Pacific and
Great Lakes coasts.
The plan is to divide the entire
coast line into sections of about 100
miles each. In each section a hangar
will be built, and seaplane sta
toned. Larger stations will be erect
ed for evry two or three sections,
where more important repairs can be
effected.
The machine will be equipped with
wireless, powerful glasses and a SEN
sative microphone, One aviator and
an observer will be detailed to each
machine.
In active operation the machines
will take their position fifty miles off
shore, ana patrol an altitude of 1000
feet. From this position the entire
coasts can be patrolled. In war
time, with the aid of wireless, in
formation regarding enemy move
ments could instantly be sent ashore
The plan has been Endorsed by
President Wilson. Secretaries Garri-
