TO HEAR POOL HALL CASE NOv-
YEMBER 18th.
Circuit Judge Richard w. Walker
VIII Complete Tribunal To De-
eide Question.

Dallas, Texas, Nov 13.-Hearing
on the application for a temporary
injunction in the Texas pool hall
case has been set for Nov. IA, before
Circuit Judge Richard w. Walker
and District Judges James C. Will
son and William R. Smith of the Fed
eral Court at Fort Worth, according
to ]. NJ. Mccormick of Dallas, at
torney for the plaintiffs in the suits.
Three bills were brought in the
United States District Court here
last April to have the pool law, pass
ed by the State Legislature in jan
uary, 1919, to become effective May
/, 1919, declared unconstitutional. At
that time the District Court granted
a restraining order on the first bill,
to preserve the status until a hear
ing could be had on the application
for a temporary injunction. A court
OF three judges, one Of whom must
be Circuit Judge, is necessary to
pass on the application and 1t has
been found impossible to get such
court assembled heretofore, Mr.. Nc
Cormick said yesterday.
The bills for Injunction against
the enforcement of the pool hall law
now pending were filed by the repre-
sentatives Of twenty hotels, first, and
subsequently by the Dallas Labor
Temple Association and later by nu-
merous social clubs. Mr.. Mccormick
said that the suits would probably
be appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court, by the losing contes-
tants.

NO ADMINISTRATION FORESIGHT
Mines Unable TO Work to Full Cap
acity Because OF Lack OF Necessary
Cars.

Washington. Nov. 13.-Speaking in
the course of Senate discussion of
the coal strike situation Senator
France of Maryland called attention
to the fact that the existing situation
has not been created entirely by the
miners but has been created in part
at least "by lack of administrative
capacity on part of certain agencies
of the Government" Senator France
referred especially to the short
comings Of the railroad administra-
ton which for months has failed to
furnish enough cars to the mines and
has seriously curtailed the product
of coal. The obvious effect of the
lack of cars has been both a coal
shortage and reduced pay for the
miners.
After putting into the record date
to show that not enough coal cars
had been provided by the railroad
administration and to show that
mines were unable to operate owing
to a shortage of cars, Senator
France pointed out that this was
not the fault of the miners. He de-
clared the mines had heen stopped
from working to capacity because
of the incompetence of railroad
administration which had not furn-
ished the cars"
Senator France made it plain that

SUIT.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Robert
Smith, Negro, the main figure in the
100000 damage suit against former
Sheriff Mike G. Tate, deputy sheriffs
Edward Bradley and NJ. w. Palmer
and Robert Wilroy, former deputy
sheriff and now city detective, took
the witness stand in third division
circuit court today.
Smith said he was in bed when
Tate's deputies forced their way in
his home near Bartlett in 1917. He
admits that they asked him to take
them upstairs and help search for
Ben Smith, a nephew of Smith, want
ed for murder.
II didn't say a word to the Off
GERS, but told my wife to take them
upstairs as l was SICK" testified
Smith.
Mrs. Matte Smith, his wife, was
on the stand yesterday. She identi-
fled Palmer as the officer who shot
her husband twice.
1t was proved that in the bed with
Smith and his wife was a powerful
Winchester rifle.
1t probably will be several days
before the evidence in the case is
concluded.

DIDN'T KNOW CURLING IRON
Easy to Understand That Youthful
Member of Chicago Jury Was Not

Every man knows what a curling
iron is, but does every man know
whether or not a curling iron is a
deadly weapon?
The question was raised in :Judge
Guerin's court in Chicago recently in
the Otto Mathis murder trial. Otto
said ne stabbed his brother, Edward.
when Edward attacked him with a
curling iron. which he thought a dan
Gerous weapon. The judge ruled a de-
scription of the implement was unnec.
essary, as everybody knew what It
was.

Two pieces Of news concerning Mex
ico- aroused interest last week. One
was that President Carranza was in
sisting on the payment of the confis,
catory royalty tax" on oil produced
by foreign operators and that the en-.
tire controversy was likely to reach
a critical stage again. The other was
the information that the |. w. w. had
established a revolutionary confedera-
ton in Mexico for the purpose of over
throwing the clergy, capitalists and
bourgeoisie, and that the chief Of the
CarranZa cabinet had signed an agree
ment with them to have enacted the
necessary syndicalist legislation. Men,

ed as unmobilized soldiers for any duty
