SOLDIERS PLAN RE-
UNION THIS FALL
Tentative Organization Formed
and Efforts win Be Made to
Bring Members Of S5th
and 09th Here

A number Of soldiers from the late
war and. the Spanish-American, met
last night and made tentative plans
to revive the big Interstate Reunion
that made this city famous years ago
and which was disbanded In 1914.
Sergeant Jack Twente was named
temporary chairman and Harold
Wright secretary. Plans were dis
cussed as to the means Of securing
suitable grounds and accommodations
and what scope 10 give the reunion.
The discussion brought out that
this city was located centrally and
that it could be the annual camping
grounds for both the big S9th and
35th divisions which would bring the
Kansas and Missouri troops together
again, much as they had been In
France.
The name Of Baxter Springs is link
ed up SO well with the reunion idea
from past years that Il will not be
hard to revive the old spirit and make
this event one Of the biggest things
in the central west.
Another meeting il called for next
Monday evening at which time the
business men Of the city are asked to
meet with the soldiers and 60 into an
organisation that will make the reun-
ion a success and permanent thing
for years to come.
There is ample land and shade close
to the city, served by street car lines
to take care Of q large number OF
tents and equipment; every man who
has the interest Of the new SoIdiers
and sailors at heart should back such
a move a. this with his influence, the
boys will 60 on record - opposed to
anything unworthy TO the great cause
for which they fought. This city can
well afford to honor these men BY
taking up the details and helping them
make them 60.

STOP SALE Of BEER
N TWO Weeks PLAN
Conflicting Court Decisions Con-
fuse Efforts of Department
to Define intoxicating
~ Liquor

Washington, July 2.-Eforts Of the
Department of Justice to define the
legal status Of two and three-quarters
per cent beer. were further confused
yesterday when Federal Judge Rose at
Baltimore rendered decision in favor
Of the brewers and Federal Judge
Sawtelle at San. Francisco decided
that the sale Of such beer was illegal.
II Is thought that an appeal OF one
of the cases or one Of the many cases
now pending, will have to be taken to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States before the department can pro-
ceed against the sale of the "kickless"
beer.
A meeting Of the house judiciary
committee has been called for next
Monday, when an effort will be made
to reach an agreement on a bill for
enforcing the prohibition act, and to
define intoxicating liquor.
It Is expected that the minority
members of the committee, headed by
Representative Igoe, Of Missouri, will
submit substitute measure, which
would authorize the President to lift
the ban on light wines and beer. This
is exatcly what the. President asked
congress to do on the grounds that he
did not have the power to act, and
there is a strong possibility that con-
gress will accept the substitute bill.
The prohibition leaders in congress
have announced their intention Of
stopping the sale Of two and three
quarters per cent beer within the next
two weeks, If possible.

ZINC ROOFING AT
$13 PER SQUARE
Statement AuthOritatively Made That
Sheets With Standing Seams Can
Be Laid Down for $9.7O

That zinc sheet roofing can be laid
down in this district for $9.70 per
square Of 100 feet, was the announce
ment Of G. w. Greever, Of the Greev-
er-Putnam Lumber Company, made
to the mine operators Of the district
branch Of the American Zinc Institute
at Picher, Okla, yesterday.
This is not just plain zinc Sheets
but sheets prepared with . standing
seam, ready for application.
The zinc roof for the Central FOun-
dry cost in the neighbOrhOOd Of $17
per square, according. to early esti-
mates Of the officials Of the company,
and Il has been reported that later
figures were not lower. This, how
ever, vas the price put on. But with
zinc sheets prepared for roofing laid
down in he district for $9.7O, It ID be-
lieved the cost put on would not be
over $1S.U6 o square.
This cost, Il Is estimated, IL little
below that Of ordinary cedar shingles.
Shingles cost about 81 for enough to
cover 100 square fest, and the cost Of
getting them put on Is about s. count
ing the sheeting, or . total Of $12 .
square. And the comparative values
Of the two roofs Is tremendously N
favor Of the one made Of zinc sheets.
II is believed the announcement Of
this price win mean . more careful
consideration Of the possibilities Of
zinc roofing by the business men Of
this district, where We should Be set

Detroit Car Service
 Has Grown Worse
By Associated Pres.


 Detroit Mich, June S.-With the city no promise of a settlement of the three cornered controversy between the De- troit United Railway company. it's strik- ing carmen and the city council, state tonight threaten court action to relieve the situation. fearing expansion of the tie-up to include large part of southern Michigan. The strikes became effective last night.
 Attorney General Groesbeck intimated tonight that unless the three factions reach an agreement, will tomorrow ask a court order compelling operation of the lines until an adjustment can be eff fected, on the ground that the street railway company is insolvent.
 Not a car wheel turned within the city, and there were no conferences of the op- posed interests. Mayor Couzens spent the day on the golf links, his home re- ported; the city council, to which the settlement of the controversy, failed to pany stood by their demands, declaring the situation unchanged.
 The striking car men demand a wage increase of 27 cents an hour, but are willing to accept a 10-cent increase, which the company denies it can give, unless Scent fares on certain lines and reduced workingmens tickets are recalled and straight scent fare with 1 cent for transfer is granted. The council has agreed to recall the scent fare and extra tickets on surrender of but refuses to grant the transfer charge
