GIVEN SETBACK


Washington, Sept. 4.-Opponents of
women suffrage received temporary
setback yesterday in their efforts to
expedite appeal from the decision of
Justice Bailey of the District of Col
umbia supreme court refusing an in
junction to prevent Secretary of State
Colby from prOmulgating the Suf-
frage amendment.
Up to Lower Court
Chief Justice Smyth of the Dis
trict of Columbia court of appeals
denied the petition of suffrage op-
ponents as represented in the Am
erican Constitutional league for GER
tification of the case to the United
States supreme court without, wait
ing for a decision by the appellate
tribunal.
The chief justice held that he
lacked authority to certify under Il
decision of the United States supreme
court which held that such GER
tification could be made only where
the decision of tlss loca! appellate
tribunal was final.
Meeting in October
AS there Is constitutional ques-
ton involved in the suffrage case
there would be right of appeals from
a decision of the court Of appeals to
the United States supreme court.
Counsel for the anti-suffragists,
however, have not abandoned hope
Of getting the case into the highest
court in the land before election to-
day and when the court of appeals
convenes on October will make !
motion to advance the case on the
calendar and probably request that
their contention be overruled in order
that they may appeal at once to the
United States supreme court.

The state board of control has been

front Of every rural school in the
Northern Division. The decision was
made when the Juniors attempted to
send out copies of their magazine,
The Junior Red Cross Newsv and

school houses had mail boxes.
Government departments, state de-

the Junior Red Cross is the first to
suggest logical means for bringing
the country school into actual conamun-

ESQ HENS MAKE $1066 FOR
OWNER

Andrew Davis of Elk River, MIMI,
former member Of the legislature, began
keeping chickens several years ago for
the diversion they gave him from bust
ness cares. Now his flock is helping to
keep him and his family. Last year,
according to the Star-News, he had an
average of $50 hens which produced
26,007 eggs, or 2,116 dozens, which
were sold at an average of 40 cents a
dozen, or for $866.94. Besides the eggs,
5000 was derived from the sale of
chickens, and Mr.. Davis and his fam
lily used all the eggs they wanted for
their table and for cooking and also
consumed between Is and 100 fowls
valued at $1.00 each. The Davis
chicken ranch is on lots back of the
family residence. The story is not
complete, in that the Star-News ignores
the expense account, but at that it is
clear Mr.. Davis is making money on
his village poultry farm.

Massing of Extremists.

Montesano, Wash.-Major General
Morrison, commanding officer at Camp
Lewis, ordered a detachment of the
Thirty-fifth infantry, U. S. regulars,
to leave for Montesano to guard the
trial of II alleged I. w. W., accused of
the Centralia, WASH, Armistice day
killings.
The order was given on instructions
from Maj. Gen. Hunter Lfggett Ac-
cording to word from San Francisco,
General Liggett's headquarters, the
general received an appeal from Gov.
ernor Hart of Washington who declar.
ed he feared the situation at Monte.
sano might get beyond control, and
asked that troops be sent "at once"
General Liggett's instructions to
Camp Lewis were to dispatch such
troops as he deemed necessary.
Herman Allen, prosecuting attorney
announced he had telephoned the gov
ernor, urging that request for troops
be made and thu: the governor had
promised to make such request to
Lieut.. Gen. Hunter Liggett, command
ing the Western department of the
army at San Francisco.
His recommendation, Mr. Allen said,
was the result of what he termed an
increasing drift of radicals to Monte
sano, coupled with alleged vague ru-
mors and threats.
Mr.. Aliens action was dictated, he
said, by desire of the state to preserve
the peace and to insure a fair trial.
Since the trial opened, January 26,
according to the prosecuting attorney,
there have been rumors of trouble, ev-
en- OF armed Intervention in behalf of
the defendants.
I'VE have reason to believe most of
the rumors of impending trouble are
idle and unfounded." Mr.. Allen said.
AT the same time, it is certain that
no harm can come by taking the prop
er steps to anticipate and forestall
any possibility Of serious friction"
