HOOVER ON AUTO PROSECUTIONS

Why Msrs Arrests Ar Net Made.
The T.-R In In receipt Of the follow
Ing communication from County At
torney A. b. Hoover regarding the
prosecution OF auto law vlolators;
Editor Times Republican; - Permit
me to make one correction In the art
icle appearing In yesterdays issue Of
the T-R In which YOU said that the
numerous arrests of late were caused
by automobile owners operating with
one light, whereas the cause was
operating cars bearing one 1919
license number. Arrests for running
without the required number OF lights
can not successfully be handled by this
office for the reason that such viola
tons occur after dark and while auto
mobiles are on the 20. and requires
the use OF motorcycle or other vehi-
Gle for overtaking them. This office
has no equipment OF that kind or any
one over whom the county attorney
has any authority who can operate
one. therefore that provision Of the
law will have to be handled by the
city and its motorcycle police II any
thing is accomplished. The same APP
plies as to speeding and running with
cut-outs after dark.
would also like to say for the bene-
ut OF those who are inclined to criti-
else this office for not more vigorously
enforcing the automobile laws, that
have been handicapped In my efforts
to enforce such laws, because Of the
fact that the only help on thesoutside
have had available. is one lone con-
stable who can devote only part of his
time to this work, and the sherifrs
office. which Is short Of help and al
| ready fully occupied with the nume-
| erous duties of that office and the
| apprehension of those charged with
higher crimes. This office has no pow
| er or control over any other peace Of
ficer and can not give orders or d.
rections to them but must depend up
| on their voluntary cooperation. II
the people of Marshall county desire
the automobile law, or any other law,
| more strictly enforced, then other de-
partments in control Of the outside
peace officers must give more hearty
| cooperation with this office If they
| wish to accomplish anything. 1t is
| my duty to prosecute and not to po-
lice. and this have never yet shirked.
nor refused to do. A. B. Hoover,

The challenger cuffed Tate around the outdoor ring to the delight of 400 vis- itors. It was the first boxing Demp- sey had done with his heavyweight partner.

 Frank Flournoy, associated with Tex Rickard in promoting the cham pionship battle of July 4, /received word from Los Angeles that Willard intended to start for Toledo Monday.
 There will be about 100000 visitors in Toledo on the day of the battle and hotel men said tonight they would be able to care for only 50,000 of them.

MILLION DOLLAR MINE
 SUIT FINALLY DECIDED

Final settlement of what has been known in Arizona as the Million Dollar Mining Suit" in which John Gleeson sought to establish a part nership in mining claims of the Courtland district, in this county, and in which Mrs Mary M Costello, widow of Martin Costello, was de- fendant was secured Friday when the supreme court of Arizona denied the motion of the plaintiff for re- hearing. The case has been before the state courts for the past six or seven years and has attracted wide attention throughout the state.
 The action of the supreme court makes the decision final in favor of Mrs. Costello. Word of the decision was received in Risbee yesterday from Phoenix.
 Gleeson brought the suit against Mrs. Costello, after the death of her husband. claiming that he was part ner with Costello in the ownership of the Casey group of claims near Courtland. In the first trial in the superior court of this county Gleeson won the suit. It was appealed to the supreme court of the state, where the decision of the lower court was re- versed in entirety. It went to the supreme court the second time on the motion for rehearing, which was de nied Friday.
