WASHINGTON, Jan. Flittingly

heart of New York's lobster bolt. says
it's not.
Vic. composed a piece for his copy
righted opera, "Sweethsarts." In ii
is song of the same name. Shan
Toys started using the song in a cab
aret number With wall of anguish.
Herbert hoped out to rescue his
brain child from the restaurant. He
didn't succeed so he left the cafe and
entered suit
Arguments. for Herbert were that
cabaret is a performance for profit,
and that therefore Herbert is entitl-
ed to royalties. To support the per-
formance--for-prott plea advertise
ments of Shanley's were introduced.

dinaire" were used. Blushing modest

do with it,
IN turn, the cabaret pleaded that no
admission Is charged. and that there

AUTO OVERTURNS,
NJURlNG SAM IVEY

Striking a sand bed on the Barran-
cas- avenue road, just outside the city
limits, early yesterday afternoon,
proved rather disastrous for Samuel
Ivey, of Pensacola, who is at present
confined at the Pensacola hospital
with internal injuries, the result of
speeding auto turning turtle. A COM
panion, reported to be a member of
the Student Officers Reserve Corps
of the Aeronautic Station, received
numerous cuts and bruises and was
treated by a local physician.
1vey is employed as foreman in
the Navy Yard machine shops and is
well known on account of being one
of the oldest civilian employees in
line of service at the aeronautic sta
ton. He stated, when telling Of the
accident, that the car was not exceed
ing the speed limit. His injuries are
not serious, according to a report
from the hospital late last night.

FINE POINTS OF
LAW INVOLVED
In CONTENTION
WHETHER OR NOT SIDELINE AT
TRACTION OF CARNIVAL is
GAMBLING, BE DECIDED DUR
ING NEXT WEEK

A case involving some fine points
of law respecting games of chance
will probably be made in the court
of record today, wherein three
strangers, connected with a travelling
amusement aggregation, have been
made defendants against a charge of
conducting a game of chance. The
defendants in this case are Mrs.
Harry Hayes, Ida McDade and Bert
Lane. They were arrested Saturday
and are in the county Jail awaiting
an investigation of the respective ac-
tivities of each of them in certain
games of skill, it is alleged, which
they We're alleged to have conducted
Until the county solicitor looks into
the case, it is said, no formal charges
viii be made; but the three have been
detained, and are docketed on a
charge as above mentioned
1t appears that a paddle with
certain number of numbers is sold
for a small sum, usually 10 cents.
Quite a number of these are distrib.
uted in crowd of prospective Gus
toners, it Is said, and then after they
have all been disposed of, wheel
is turned and the number indicated
by pointer is "the winner"
In the meantime, however, practi-
callv all holders of numbers are pre-
sented, or offered, small box of
candy, and it was thought that this
gift cut out the principle of chance
to some degree. One person in the
crowd, each time the wheel is sent
spinning, it is claimed. is the winner
of toy pony or something of ecua,
value, but there is only one of this
valuation given away.
Some of the officials, upon watch
ing the performance, came to the con.
clusion that the element of chance
was too glaring, and they decided to
have the county solicitor pass upon
the merits of the alleged game of
chance, and this vii. be done today.

All along the Piave, the Italians
are holding the Germans and Austro-
Hungarians in check. Nowhere have
the invaders been able to cross the.
stream. There were several brilliant

ing in driving the invaders from the

In the hilly region of the northern
Italian front to the region south of
Feltrel all Austro- German attacks
were repelled, according to Rome:
No advices have seeped through

NO PEACE EARLIER THAN
1919, SAYS MCCORMACK.

Chicago, Nov. 1s.-Russia's col
lapse and the unreadiness os the
United States make hopeless any
thoughts of peace before 1919. is the
opinion of Medill Mccormack, Con-
gressman-at-large from Illinois, who
has just returned from the European
battle fronts. He said: Germans are
not winning the war. Neither are we.
The war presents a stalemate, from
which we are unable to extricate our
selves because of the collapse of the
russian government. The central
powers are bleeding terribly, but they
act with greater energy and unity of
skill than their enemies. This is an
artillery and Industrial war. Above
all, heavy guns are necessary
The issue of the war will be de-
cided at Washington and by the fur
naces of America. The splendid little
American army in France did great
service in a moral way in cheering
up the French people. France is
age"
