WINTER CARE FOR CHICKENS

In the winter the care Of poultry is
quite task and every preparation

the general farm the cattle. sheep and
hogs will doubtless come first and too

only way to insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock is to equip the

SOCIAL WHITE SLAVERS
MUST TAKE SENTENCE
(By United Press)

Washington, Jan. 15.-The United
States Supreme court today an
nounced it's decision to uphold the
conviction of Maury Diggs and Drew
Caminetti for violation of the Mann
white slave law.
The case has been one of the hard
est fought in the annals of courts
and attracted nationwide attention,
for the principal reason the father
of Camnetti is commissioner of i'm
migration at San Fancisco and a
power in national politics in the
west. Every influence was brought
to bear but to no avail.
The accused, both men of social
standing and prominence, acted as
escort to two young women over the
acknowledgements state line and the
escapade resulted in their arrest and
subsequent conviction. The defense
contended that no commercialism en-
tered into the trip and hence the
Mann act was not violated.

LEGAL TANGLE INVOLVES .
SUITS FROM EASTLAND
DISASTER; COST 812 LIVES
(By United Press)

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Although more
than year and half has elapsed
since the picnic steamer Eastland
turned turtle in the Chicago river
here and snuffed out the lives of 812
men, women and children out for a
holiday, compensation for their
deaths has not been made and the
suits growing out of the disaster to-
day are in bad legal tangle.
Surviving relatives of the S12
wage workers who met death on the
Eastland are, in many instances, poor
people who depended on the earn
ings of the victims of the disaster.
Many of these have had hard strug-
gle to live since the itt-fated after
nbcn of Jnl,- 3 "a J, 9155 A.'''--e ~: az;
Interest in the situation today cen
ters on the question of whether 373
suits for damages, in federal court,
shall be consolidated and all tried
at once, or tried separately. Fed
eral Judge Lands must tell the Unit
ed State Supreme court today why
he consolidated the cases and why he
thinks they ought to be tried to-
gether
Should the Supreme court order the
cases tried separately, as the owners
of the Eastland demand, it is esti-
mated that the trials will last fifteen
years, allowing a minimum of two
weeks for each case. Surviving rela-
tives of about 800 of the victims
have not sued at all, while others
have brought suit in Illinois state
courts.
There is a bill before Congress to
give the United States court of claims
jurisdiction in the cases. This would
open the way for the surviving rela-
tives of victims to make claim
against the government. Many of
them blame the government, through
the Federal steamboat inspection SER
vice for the disaster, but as the gov
ernment cannot be sued they have no
way of recovering damages unless
the court of claims is given jurisdic-
tiOn.
