RULE 8 DRY LAW-1NvALID
Courts Grant Injmctions to Distil-
lers and Brewers

Louisville, KY, Nov. 13.--Attor-
news for distilling interests appar-
emily won another round in the
fight on wartime prohibition in
Federal court here yesterday. Judge
Evans in the course of arguments in
q case brought by Louisville distil-
lers announced from the bench his
belief that the law is unconstitu-
tional and at the conclusion of the
pleas Of attorneys said he would Is
sue an injunction today restraining
government interference with the
sale of the distiner.'s tax paid wins
XIV. Whether the. injunction would
be temporary or permanent, the
court said, rested with Attorney
General Palmer, whose Office was
given until today to advise with the
district attorney at Louisville.
If a temporary writ is issued
rules of procedure would permit va
rious delays in its operation pend
inp arguments on a motion to make
it permanent. If, permanent, only
q writ of supersedeas, it was said,
could prevent the Louisville distil-
Iers arranging for immediate dis
position Of their tax paid whisky.
This feature apparently was the
only point at issue with Judge
Evans, who called upon the govern
ment to make o showing for it il j.
desired to do so.
Providence, IL, Nov. 10
Judge Arthur l.. Brown in tie Fed
eral district court yesterday issued
temporary injunction against

ton act. The :injunction~was is

EXPECT CLIMAX IF
 STRIKE IN A HOURS

CHICAGO, June 1.-The climax in the nation wide strike of commercial telegraphers probably will be reached in A hours, union leaders declared tonight.
 A telegram was sent to Samuel Gompers, stating that the strikers would abide by decisions reached al a conference to be held by Mir. Comp
 CTS and other federation officers and
 representatives of the telgrapheih unions. Officers of the Order of Rail
 way Photographers announced today that 50 per cent of the Western Union
 business had been affected by refusal
 of railroad operators to handle com mercial business. This statement was refuted by officers of the Association of Western Union Employes, who sa1d business was normal and that strikers are returning to work in many towns. Union officials said that in a number of towns electrical workers, particu- larly telephone operators, had gone on strike. In northern and central Cali fornia, it is estimated 5000 girl op- | orators and 1000 male employees are affected. Thre thousand other en-
 ployes are said to be involved in l strikes in California.
 s. J. Konenkamp, international pres-
 ident of the commercial telegraphers
 union, claimed that labor bodies in l various parts of the country were pledging support to the strikers and 1 that the number of men idle was 1 steadily increasing.

 House Recently Opened The Strand theater is owned by A. lc. Hubbard of Redlands, California, who also is the owner of much other valuable business property in Phoenix. The theater is almost new, work on it's construction having been started in lJuiy of last year. The theater was ! opened on December g, 1918. The ar fchitect and contractor of the theater is also a California man.
 'Tn my opinion" stated City Manager 1HOllpSoA SNotei ud9 dAlSl "u 4lASpSC- ton of the wreck" the accident was caused because the plaster on the ceil- ing was entirely too thick: the weight was too great to stay up.

 Before coming to Nogales, Sonora, today for the conference, General Gales stated that he had held hear ing at Hermosillo, to which hotel and restaurant owners from all sections of the state were summoned and ques- toned regarding illicit liquor selling.
 General Gales said that he had in formed those who appeared at the hearing that he intended to enforce to the letter his order issued a few days ago, to execute any person found sell ing either native or imported liquors.
 It was pointed out that at present Sonora is a dry state and that it will be kept so until the legislatures per- init to sell light wines and beer goes into effect in September
 Business between the United States and Sonora is picking up," said Gen. eral Alvaro Obregon, following today's conference. Commercial conditions hard hit by war regulations, are fast resuming their pre-war standard"

PASS SENTENCES ON
 s B|C CONSP|RATORS

1 AMARILLO, Texas, June 17-End- ing one of the biggest conspiracies ever known for the purpose of robbng in- ,erstate shipments, Federal District Judge James C. Wilson passed sen tence on eight of the twenty-five de- fendants here today. Implicated in the 1 plot were several prominent business men of Dalhart, Texas. and several l Rock Island railway employees. It is said ty court officials here that the thefts have been going on for a period of several years. The cases were en- tered at the freight depot, or taken from the boxcars, and removed to the mercantile establishments, at which place the goods were retailed to the public.
 Many thousands of dollars worth of merchandise was taken, and officials say so far as is known. the crime is ! the greatest of it's kind perpetrated since the establishment Of the law cov- ! ering the action. During the investi- i 2at'on, which resulted in the arrests,
 some of the men were actually caught removing the stolen cases to the mer- canfile establishment in Dalhart. So
 strong was the evidence that thirteen
 confessions were secured immediately
 following arrects.
 | 1.eLiency in the terms imposed by
 Judge Wilson was said to have been
 due to the families in the cases of
 many Of the defendants. The terms
 ranged from one year and one day in
 tte federal prison at Leavenworth.
 Kansas. to terms of eighteen months
 Eight of the defendants received
 such sentences, and seven others were fined and given jail sentences, the
 latter to be served in the county jail here

Seen by itself, Swift & Company is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of animal food products in the country.
 Seen in relation to the total food busi- ness of the world, its size diminishes to small proportions.
 We handle only about 22 per cent of the total output of the hundreds of pack ing plants under federal inspection, and only about 12 per cent of the total meat supply of the nation.
 We handle only about per cent of the total quantity of butter, eggs, and poul- try sent to market in the United States Our tanneries handle less than Is per cent of the hides made into leather in the United States Our soap factories make less than 10 per cent of the soap output of the nation. This is done in keen and open competition with every concern handling these products, and at profit of fraction of cent per pound

(Paul J. Haaren in the Scientific

 The majority speak of hydroplanes as of aircraft, not knowing that a hydroplane is nothing but type of speed boat that has nothing to do with flying. What they really mean to re- fer to is the hydroairplane. The word hydroairplane itself is now obso- lete. Water aircraft are either sea planes Cmodified airplanes, with one or two floats in place of a landing gear). or flying boats. having boatIike hulls with wings attached thereto.

STOLEN ARTICLES CONCEALED
BY SHOPLlFTER IN WIG

The prosecuting counsel in a shop
lifting case, according to Paris let
ter in the London Express, told an
extraordinary story of the proceed
ings of the ight-fngered family. The
mother wore large and ingeniously
constructed wig 1t was made so that
she could conceal in it an infinite
number of stolen articles. These she
obtained through her sons, who were
exceedingly skillful in pilfering from
shop showcases.
The three were watched in a we'll
known store, and it was seen that the
two boys took large number of small
objects. The part that the woman
played was not very apparent, but the
police felt justified in arresting her
When she was searched, however,
nothing incriminating could be found
until one of the wardresses noticed
the care with which the woman moved
her head. Immediately she insisted
on investigating her hair.
Among other things, she discovered
a roll of costly lace, a lady's gold
watch and chain and two heavy gold
bracelets. The prosecution also stated
that the two younger prisoners were
expert pickpockets.
