NEW PAPER SAILING CnD.N
SHADOWS or ihr A..v.


The Jefferson County Republican
is sailing under the SHADOW of the
Jaw, so to speak.
Mr.. Alfred F. Isham, Of Brighton,
who sold the Golden Globe, 1orn:eriy
and for many years, the mouth-piece
Of jefferson county Republicans, to
Mr.. C. M. Danford, for the sum OIL
$3,4OO, about year ago,and taking
as security mortgage on the plant
of the Globe and a second mortgage
on the Arvada Sun plant, has at last
taken exceptions to the ruthless man
ner In which his rights nave Deen M
tringed upon, according to MS way
of thinking, and in reE.iiation is sue
ing the three men back of the new
paper for damages, amounting in all
to about $500. In lieu OF pay
ment, Mr.. Isham asks that the bod
les of the three defendants-C. M.
Danford, w. L. Boatright and John
F. Vivian be deposited in the Jelfer-
son County Jail, as an example to 9TH
ers, and as a qualification to MIR.
Isham for the wrongs he has suit
cred.
In summing up his complaint, Mr..
Isham alleges that the said three men
conived and conspired to delrau.
him out of his POSSESSIONS, in many
ways and divers manners.
First, by forecics.rg the morS5-sl
on the Aryada Sun plant before the
said mortgage was due, thus freezing
him out.
Second, moving the Arvada plant
from the Arvada office without his
knowledge Or consent.
Third, by moving out from under
the Golden Globe, and leaving un-
paid mortgage of $4,000, besides
appropriating the subscription list to
ths new paper, and thereby causing
the suspension of the Globe for an
indefinite period, losing its legal
status, and Mr.. Isham further ayers
that the defendants had him ousted
from the premises when he took pos
sion of the Globe with the idea of
saving it from being suspended.
The defendants. however, are TAX
ing the matter as a huge joke, and
claim that they tried to effect an am
icable settlement with Mr.. Isham.
but failed in the attempt. Trey are
inded, frank to confess that the
Golden Globe, which they thought to
be worth So. 100 a year ago, is now
practically valueless. Just why it
should have deprecated SO much is
not stated. They do not state what
the terms offered Mr.. Isham by way
Of settlement were, but to reasonably
thinking people the offer could not
have been much less than what was
owing to Mr. Isham. II, however. II
was more than the mortgage price
that Mr.. lsham wanted-nll other
things being equal, then Mr.. Ishnm
must be q very peculiar man to in
stitute such a "scandalous proceed
ing. +"
Nevertheless, ire matter is up to
the courts to determine who is in
the wrong. and as Mr.. Isham is ask.
ing for a body judgment as well as
a financial one, there will no doubt
be q hard-fought legal battle. Attor-
ney John T. Bottom hns been retain
ed by Mr.. Isham. The defendants
have not announced who will repre-
sent them as co-counsel with Mr.. W.
L. Boatright, who is n prominent at.
torney. and may plead their own
cause.
The outcome of the case will be
watched with interest.

troll near Andrada, Lower California,

ent Of construction Of an irrigation
work ON the Colorado river, declared
many men employed on the work
had heard unusual noises from the
border patrol airplanes as they new
over on their way from Yuma to Rock
well Field. San Diego He attributed
reports that the airplanes had been
fired on to these.
He said the noises sounded to him
'as II the motors were back-hring,"
but that they might have been caused
by practice shots fired by the aviators
from their machine guns.
Mr.. Cromwell said no shots were
: fired from the ground near the scene
of the reported clash at any time yes
terday, on either side of the interna-
tional boundary line.
The border airplane patrols did not
fire any shots at any one" he said

HITS PLUMB PLAN
FOR R. R. CONTROL
Senator Pomerene Says
Nothing Akin to 1t Is Outside
BoIshevik Russia.

The Plumb plan for tripartite con-
ftrol Of the railroads is vicious" and
there is nothing akin to it outside of
bolshevik Russia. Senator Pomerene.
democrat, Ohio, declared in a letter
sent to officials Of tho railroad broth
erhoods in Ohio, and made public
,, here today.
Declaring the plan was worse than
socialism," Senator Pomerene said the
American people would never approve
it .'or anything akin to it," and added:
'The public does not want to be
skinned, but If 1t must be skinned
it will make little difference whether
it is by Wall street or by the methods
provided for in the proposed Plumb
plan"
Plumb Criticises Other Plans.
Approaching the close of/his long
statement in support OF his plan for
tripartite control of railroads, Glenn
E. Plumb today called the attention
committee to. what he described as
"glaring defects" in other proposals
submitted for solution Of the railroad
problem.
In discussing the plan presented by
the United States Chamber Of Com
merce, Plumb said:
The need Of the 2abi'c for service,
the right OF the consumers OF trans
portation to receive that necessity at
the lowest possible cost. the right Of
are all disregarded in this purpose of
Strengthening and stabilizing the
credit Of railroad corporations.'
Proposal of Security Holders.
Az to other prouosaJs. he said.
THE plan of the security holders
Al presented by Mr.. Warfield and of
the railway executives presented by
MT. Thorn. include as the fundamental
basis of their propositions the same
evil that 'vitiates the plan Of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
to wit; That the basis for fixing rates
must. by statute. be declared to be
the property investment accounts of
the carriers. By various terms this
demand Is disguised as being fair
value OF that property"
Clash With Mr.. Webster.
There was another sharp clash to
day between Plumb and Representa-
tive Webster (republican). Washing
ton. over letters sent by labor or
ganizations to the latter and which
his vote in favor Of labor legislation.
Mr.. Plumb put into the. record. a
telegram from Harry A. Bard, sec
rotary of labor organization at Spo-
kane, from which city most Of the
letters were sent, saying they were
mailed before. the committee began
consideration Of the Plumb plan
Il do not believe attempts at in
timidation were made by anybody in
support of the Plumb plan" Plumb
said. IF such attempts were made
heretofore it was no part Of our plan
and without our know iedge."

stel replied, came from the Brother

Sacramento Purposes.

More rigorous provisions guarding
transactions in wines for sacramento
and religious purposes are provided
by a provision requiring issuance Of
such permits only to ministers, rabbis
or other ecclesiastics.
House provisions regarding adver-
tfsing OF beverages are made more
stringent In some respects and more
liberal in others. The subcommittee
struck out provisions prohibiting sign
or billboard advertising. but added a
clause penalizing advertisement Of
intoxicants anywhere. by any means
or methods" Also stricken out was
a House clause authorizing oblitera-
ton of liquor advertising or the use of
pictures of a distillery. bottle, keg.
barrel or other receptacle in adver-
tisements. A new clause permits
manufacturers and wholesale drug
-gists to advertise alcohol in trade
journals.

ASKS ACTION
ON FOOD LAWS
Attorney Generals Offices
Urges Speed in Amend
ing Control Act.

While Congress is delaying the
passage OF amendments putting
teeth" IN the food control act by
penalty clause aAd making II apply
to wearing apparel PROTECTING In
shoes and other lines Is going on
apace, and the Department Of Justice
Is unable to make its campaign
against high prices effective,
This situation as it stands today
was emphasized in letter to Chair
man Haugen. OF the House Commit
tee on Agriculture. from Judge c. B.
Palmer, in charge of food prosecu-
tons, who urges the importance of
early action by Congress.
Judge Ames also stresses the fact
that the new crop Of beet sugar IN
the West is being placed on the mar
ket at s11.5O per hundred as against
50, and that no jurisdiction over this
is held by the United
States Sugar Equalization Board
which does not control the new crop
must be passed before the Depart
ment of Justice can take effective
action against this raise in sugar.
At lHt SdAlllc IllliCp Allt IodA VI
Labor Statistics came out yesterday
with a report that the retail price OF
food IN the United States increased
l per cent in August as compared
with July. This statement is made
on the basis of a compilation Of costs
OF twenty articles Of food. The same
report also shows that the price OF
food. on the whole, has increased r.
per cent since a year ago, and that
the increase in six years, that Is,
since August. 1915, is gl per cent
II the Bureau of Labor Statistics
report is to be taken as conclusive,
It shows that despite the President S
personally delivered message to
Congress on the food situation, de-
spite the organization OF fair-price
committees and all the agitation for
reduction of costs dating back nearly
two months, no headway has been
made, but on the contrary, there is a
slight increase in food costs
