We're enjoyed by every "id.'' With
games all over, a few wild flowers
gathered, rest up and the party
started for home, reaching the city
about five O'Clock. They went directly
to the Central "Y'' building, where
each boy enjoyed nice shower bath
and good swim. This of course they
got by special permission from authori-
ties of that department.
The conduct of the boys is worth
mentioning. Good behavior seemed to
have been their slogan throughout the
day. One of the secretaries of the
Central "Y' who went along with
Secretary Robinson said that they were
the best behaved bunch of boys that
he had ever seen. Not word of pro-
family or vulgarity was heard among
them. The object of the Y. M. G. A. is
to keep the boys clean in their habits
by making place for them to have
clean sport and recreation.

, Breweries in St. Louis Resume
Making of Beer.

St. Louis, May anufacture
of beer has been resumed by the In
dependent Breweries company, con-
trolling five St. Louis breweries, the
American, Columbian, National, Gust
and Empire.
John 7. Fitzsimmons, one of the
attorneys of the company, gave out
the following statement:
Acting upon the advice of counsel.
Messrs. Elihu Root, William d.
William l.. Marbury, Charles
A. Houts and myself, the Independ-
ent Breweries company has resumed
the brewing of beer containing alco-
hol not to exceed 2.75 per cent by
weight
The Independent Breweries COM
pany has decided upon this course as
the only one short OF disseminating
business. Its stock of beer is almost
exhausted Unless brewing is re-
sumed, its business would soon have
to stop, its plants completely shut
down, the men be laid off, the organi-
cation disrupted and the customers
left without supplies to continue their
business"

Court Decides for a Dry Test Vote.

Olympia, Wash, May 24.-The
Washington State Supreme Court
decided today in favor OF the Cali
fornia Grape Protective Association
in an action brought by the associa-
ton to compel the secretary of state
to submit Washington's ratification
of the national prohibition amend
ment to vote Of the people.
The Washington Legislature last
winter voted to ratify the national
prohibition amendment. According
to interpretations of today's decision
the ratification will not become ef-
iective unless it is approved by the
voters of the state.
As more than two-thirds OF the
states-the number necessary for
ratification-have approved the
amendment, it was not believed here
that today's decision would change
the national situation.
