Amsberry's Ruling
Justified by Decision
Of Court in Maine

Lincoln, Aug. Is. Especially -
Secretary of State D. M. Amsberry
has returned from Detroit, where he
attended the national meeting of
the Modern Brotherhood of Amer
lea.
Mr.. Amsberry' says that corn
along the line OF the Burlington
railroad in Iowa and Illinois was
looking fine, with prospects for a
bumper crop.
The secretary of state was pleased
upon his return to find on his desk
copy of a newspaper from Maine,
stating that the supreme court of
that state had decided, as he ruled,
that the prohibition amendment OF
ratification to the national consti-
tuition could not be put to referen-
dunn vote.
The Maine court holds that rat
ification had been made by the re-
quired number of states, that the
proclamation had been issued de-
claring the matter carried, and that
a referendum could not be had for
that reason, also that in any event
it was matter solely for a legis-
lature or a state conference of the
people to determine.

Crop conditions throughout Ne
braska are shown to be good by the
Burlington railroads weekly crop
report. Rainfall from III to one inch
during the past week is reported in
the Omaha, Lincoln and Wymore
divisions. which include most of the
state. No rain was reported in the

The condition of the corn crop
is generally said to be favorable,
especially north of the Platte river.
kenesaw, Grand Island. Palmer and
Ericsson report the condition of the
corn crop as 100 per cent.
1t is estimated in the report that
from one-fourth to three-fourths of
the wheat crop of the state has been
.hreshed. Flowing is under way in
all parts of the state where wheat
has been raised. More moisture is
needed to put the ground in good
condition for blowing, it is reported.
An IS per cent crop of oats and
barley is estimated in the Burlington
report. The yield of potatoes in
Burlington territory is estimated at
60 TO 20 per cent. An average crop
of sugar beets is predicted. Pastures
and meadows are reported in fair

Lincoln, Aug. 25.-(Special Tele-

the state in an effort to locate prof
iteering started this afternoon in
the court room Of the supreme court
commission with the secretary of
agriculture occupying the high chair

was on the stand most of the after
noon and under the Questioning of
both Attorney general Davis and
Mr.. Devoe Mr.. Scott admitted that
his firm and Granger Brothers, an
other wholesale fruit firm, bought
cars in pool whenever the market
was not right for buying indivi-
dually. He meant by that, he said,
that when the season was such that
the fruit was not available only in
: small quantities that they bought
jointly. They maintained man on
the tracks who had charge OF the
cars and divided up the stuff as it
should 60 to each FIRM, the man
being paid jointly by both firms, he
testified.
He admitted that Nebraska apples
we're shipped to New York and
other eastern points and that Ne
braska had to depend upon New
York apples shipped out here, ex-
ecept such as might come in from the
west. He was asked if it would not
be cheaper for both the east and the
west if they kept their own apples,
and he said it would probably save
freight charges, but that eastern
people seemed to demand Nebraska
apples in preference to their own, and
Nebraska people seemed to prefer
New York apples.
Mr.. Scott admitted that he knew
Trimble Brothers and other firms
which the Omaha hearing showed
held daily meetings in that city. He
was asked if he ever attended one
of the eleven o'clock" daily gather
ings of these firms, and he said he
never had.

ACTORS CANNOT
INTERFERE WITH
HOUSES OPENING
Public Has Rights as We'll as
Thespians. Is Ruling
of Judge.

New York, Aug. Is. - Justice
Peter A. Hendrick announced Mon
day that Wednesday afternoon he
would sign injunctions restraining
the Actors Equity association and
its members from interfering with
the reopening of theaters in this
city which have been closed by the
actors strike.
Justice Hendrick announced his
determination to issue the injunc-
tons after a long conference with
counsel representing, the Producing
Managers association and individual
members of it, who instituted the
proceedings after their houses had
been closed by the strike, as-well as
the attorney for the Equity asso-
citation.
>>"Action which obstructs the pub
lie going to the theaters quietly
and unimpeded and prevents the
managers running their places of
amusement is against the law"
said Justice Hendrick. 'The right
Of the managers to run the thea
tiers is property right and the
right of the public to attend must
not be interfered with. Such in
reference, which leads ito destruc-
ton of business, is just as illegal
as if the torch were applied to the
buildings of the theaters.
THE actors have a perfect right
to form a union for promoting their
welfare generally or as individuals.
If the Actors Equity association
confines itself to that purpose it
has perfectly lawful and legitimate
right to do so, but contracts already
in existence must be lived up to.
Violation of the existing contracts
is illegal and unlawful"
The effect of Justice Hendricks
ruling will be to enjoin Francis
wilson, president of the actors or
ganization, and many of its most
prominent members from picketing
theaters which have been closed and
from attempting to induce actors
to break their contracts.
