SUIT TO TEST
DRY LAW NOT
PLANNED HERE
Presiiden, of Minck Brewery
Saws Such Action Not Con-
sidered.

An action to test the state prohibit.
ion law in the Wayne county courts is
not being considered by the Minck
Brewing company. L. e. Tiff, presi-
dent of-->he company, said Saturday.
Attorneys who are connected with
the brewing interests stated that they
knew nothing about contemplated
test suit in Wayne county.
There has been a report current,
since the announcement that an appeal
would not be taken to the supreme
court by the prosecuting attorney in
Vanderburg county, that a suit would
be filed here to obtain an Injunction
against the enforcement of the state
dry law.
See Blanket Injunction.
Attorneys stated Saturday that a
possible solution Of the dry law prob
lem raised by the Vanderburg county
decision would be blanket injunction
issued by the state supreme court to
hold the law in abeyance until the
case could be brought to the state
court for decision.
In this case supreme court judge
could request the other members of
the court to issue an injunction that
would prevent officials over the state
from enforcing the law until a final
decision could be rendered.
1t has also been suggested that
county officials here could refuse. to
enforce the law on the grounds that it
was passed in the face of supreme
court decision and that court in good
standing, following this decision Of
the supreme court, rendered in 1855,
had declared the law unconstitutional
and void.
Might Mandamus EN-.
If the law becomes effective before
decision is rendered, it was stated,
mandamus proceedings might be in
stigated to compel the commissioners
of the county to issue liquor licenses.
In the event of the filing of the suit
here temporary restraining order
might be obtained to prevent officials
from putting the law into effect until
a decision was obtained from the court.
The entire question revolves about
the question of taking an appeal in
the case to the supreme court from
Vanderburg county. Workers In both
dry and wet contingents declare that
every effort will be made to force an
appeal to the supreme court, in order
that a statewide decision may be OBJ
tanned.

LEROY PORTER
 IS DOING WELL

In one of the last mails was re- ceived by Mrs. c. w. Porter a let ter from her son Roy Porter, who is serving with the aviation section of the signal corps Somewhere in France. He states that he is feeling fine and is kept very busy in the line of his duties. The tone of his letter shows that many of the enemy have been slain and it is his pre- diction that the war will last but few months more at the prevail. ing rate that the Huns are being killed off unless they have an un- known resource or some method of resurrecting the dead.
 The letter was written under the date of May 10. The receiving of the letter will dispel the rumor of his being wounded some time ago. In the list of casualties published in an Outside paper the name of LeRoy Porter appeared in the list of those slightly wounded. but the rank of the injured man was given as a private, whereas Roy is a sergeant Since leaving Fairbanks Roy has raised a small moustache patterned after the French model, and it makes a great change in his appearance.

 Perisich would have been released early last week, but during his con- finement he was closely observed by physicians, who before his release was effected swore out the warrant charging him with being insane. His actions for some time past have led many to believe that he is mentally unbalanced, and in order to deter mine his sanity his hearing will be held tomorrow.

TRAVELLER IS
 GIVEN MATCH

The wrestling match scheduled at the Auditorium on the night of the Fourth between Eugene Traveller and Al Sharp came to a sudden termination after the contestants had been wrestling for 49 minutes, Sharp being unable to continue on account of wrenched neck.
 For the first ten minutes both men were doing fast work trying to se- cure good hold, and the specta- tors were kept on edge by the men being in jeopardy several times. For the balance of the time both were endeavoring to tire the other out in order to secure fall. Traveller did most of the work and punished his opponent considerably trying to get head lock, which was broken many times.
 Owing to the smallfess of the mat it was necessary to order the men to the center many times in order that clean fall, should one happen could be secured. At the end of 49 minutes, while the men were at the edge of the mat. they were or. dered to the center by Referee Carl Selberg Sharp was unable to re- spond, and it was some seconds be. fore he could make it under stood that his neck had been badly wrenched He was unable to con tinue the match and would therefore forfeit it to his opponent, who was declared the winner.
 In the preliminary Courtnay and Porter put up good exhibition. At the end of fifteen minutes of fast work draw was awarded.

LARGE CROWD AT SPEEDWAY:
 RACES CLOSE

Before nearly a thousand people were held the auto races between the speed kings of the interior at the park at 2 o'clock yesterday af ternoon. Long before the first event was pulled off the crowd started to arrive in order to secure the best vantage points from which to view the contest.
 Four cars were entered in the events. the drivers and mechani. clans being as follows: McCord. Rutherford. SheldOn-Hayes, Griswold- Hamilton, Burgess-karstens.
 The first event was the ten-miler, with all four entrants getting away we'll with the gun. For three laps no perceptible change in the posi- tions was noted. During the fourth lap McCord developed engine trou- ble and was compelled to go to the pit for repairs, withdrawing from the race. In the tenth lap Sheldon had trouble with his gas feed, and after trying to remedy it for five laps went out of the race. leaving the honors for first and second money to be fought out by Burgess and Griswold, the former winning with total elapsed time of 2O:35 3-5 Griswold's time was IS 2-4 seconds slower
 In the twenty-Rve-mile event, with the same drivers, the racers were well started and were running neck and neck until the eighth lap, when McCord again developed engine trou. ble and was compelled to withdraw in the ninth, leaving Sheldon, Bur. gess and Griswold to scrap it out for place money. Sheldon, first off was never caught within the time allowance and led all the way, pass ing Griswold twice, as also did Burgess, who finished second. The time of the winner was 5S:03 2-5 while that of Burgess was 5S:16 3-5
 The racers were at all times given encouragement by the crowd. which was pulling for the favorites. and did their best to respond, going at times at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
 To Chairman Claude Kelly much credit is due for the indefatigable efforts he put forth to have the events pulled off and for the able manner in which he handled the ar engagements. Upon him devolved the entire work in connection with the races. from the conditioning of the track to securing the entries. and all other matters pertaining thereto. It Is probable that another series of races will be pulled off on Labor Day.
