BL0CK-H|RSH CASE
Appellate Court Refuses
Pleas for Writ of Error and
Modified Judgment.

Without assigning any reason the Dis
trict Court of Appeals late yesterday
afternoon announced the overruling of
the motion for a writ Of error to the
United States Supreme Court asked by
Julian Block from the courts decision
that the Ball rent law is totally void.
The court also denied a motion of
Louis Hirsh. owner of 919 F street
northwest, who brought suit to evict
MIR. Block. to modify the opinion and
judgment of the appellate court so as
to direct the District Supreme Court to
enter final judgment in his favor for pos
session of the property.
May Go to Highest Court.
Counsel for Mr.. Block will now apply,
it is stated. to the United States Su-
preme Court for writ of error and for
a certiorari in the event the highest
tribunal may not consider that the petit
toned is entitled to appeal The refusal
of the Court of Appeals to amend its
judgment is regarded as an indication
that in the opinion of that tribunal it's
action is not final and that the case
should go back to the District Supreme
Court for further action not incon-
sistent with this opinion"
1t would then be necessary, some
lawyers claim, for the lower court
to decide whether a final judgment
should be rendered or whether a trial
by jury should be had before posses
sion is decreed. and appeal from that
decision disposed of by the Court of
Appeals before the United States Su-
preme Court would entertain an ap-
plication for review of the case.
Attorneys julius l. Peyser and
Jesse c. Adkins for the tenant claim
that the opinion of the appellate
court practically amounts to final
Judgment and that the lower court
could do nothing but enter judg-
ment for possession when the man
date was sent down. On this basis
they will urge the United States Su-
preme Court. it is stated. to avoid
delay by taking up the case without
waiting for the action of the lower
court.
In order to give counsel time to
apply for the aid of the United States
Supreme Court, the District Court Of
Appeals has directed the stay of its
mandate for an indefinite period.
Ordinarily the mandate would be sent
to the lower court within fifteen days
from the announcement of the action
of the appellate tribunal.

FEAR A STAMPEDE
T0M'AD0O,F FOURTH
OR FIFTH BALLOT
Cox and Palmer Men Seek to
Form Combination to
Halt Progress.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 3.-Fears of
stampede for McAdoe on the fourth
or fifth ballot permeated the Cox and
bulk of the delegates, thinking the same
thing, held themselves in readiness to
climb on the McAdoo band wagon.
None of the managers was, of
course, absolutely sure. The neces-
sary two-.thirds still fingered as
vague expectation rather than a con-
crete mathematical actuality.
May Combine to Stop Progress.
Efforts have been made to form
combination to stop McAdoo's prog
ress. but inasmuch as the opposition
to him has selected no candidate, the
situation is really not unfavora BILE to
McAdoo. For the friendliest feeling
has prevailed between the Palmer and
McAdoo leaders. II Attorney General
Palmer couldn't win, his strength was
necessarily at the behest of Mr..
Palmer. but because of the belief that
McAdoo was the logical alternative.
Cox Talked of for Second Place.
The McAdoo forces have insisted on
talking of Cox for the vice presidency
notwithstanding the announcement of
the Ohio governor that he would not
take the nomination under any cir
cumstances. II McAdoo should be
nominated, serious effort was
planned by the McAdoo men to draft
Cox for the vice presidency.
Should Ed Moore, floor manager for
Cox, declare the Ohio executive would
not take second place, then the vice
presidential nomination was to go to
Victor Murdock of Kansas, a member
Of the Federal Trade Commission and
the editor of Wichita newspaper.
He was one of the leaders in the bull
moose movement in 1912 and the dem
ocrats who are sponsoring him claim
that a ticket composed of McAdoo and
Murdock would carry Kansas.
Edwin T. Meredith is likely for
vice presidential honors il ne hap
pens to be placed in nomination be-
fore Murdock and if the McAdoo men
fail to agree quickly on a candidate
for second place.
Why MeAdoo Is Predicted.
The conviction that McAdoo would
be the nominee rested today upon
these circumstances:
Breaks for McAdoo were seen COM
ing in the big delegations from New
York, Massachusetts. Missouri In
diana and Illinois.
Charlie Murphy has not been un.

sumo the obligation OF erection OF
the buildings and the management
OF the annual fair.
Being so centrally located in the
heart OF the South Plains il is deem
ed advisable by our people to invite
the entire South Plains people TO
step up and help in the organization
OF Lubbock's Fair Association. We
are informed that each county Of
the South Plains viii be asked to
place exhibits here annually TO com
pete for prizes Of their neighboring
counties. There will be plenty Of
stalls and pens for the accommoda-
ton of the stock on exhibit: there
will be plenty Of room for the eXhib-
its of all the South Plains counties.
Every citizen Of this section who re-
alizes the need Of the Fair Associa-
tion and who desires to promote ag-
ricultural and stock raising will help
in the successful promotion Of a cen
trail location for the display Of these
products.
For the benefit Of the hundreds
Of new citizens who have seen III TO
come and make their homes in our
midst during the past few months,
We want you to know that mass
meeting started the first development
OF this section: started our schools.
our churches, our villages which have
grown to cities and started the build
ing of the railroads through this
great section. We want you 10 come
out Monday evening at. this meeting
feeling that you are going where all
the progressive men Of Lubbock eoun-
~ will meet and where knockers will
blush with shame; to help in contin-
uing the growth and development OF
the most wonderful section on the

preciation Of the efforts Of the build
ers and pioneers who came before
you.
Another matter that should have
the immediate attention Of the Cham
Der of Commerce il the provision OF
a suitable auditorium in the city for
public gatherings. for speaking pur-
poses for every kind Of meeting that
may come up. During the coming
year Lubbock will no doubt be called
upon 70 entertain number Of gath
erings that will require much larger
auditorium than We now have. and
as the town grows this need will be
the more kcenly felt. and the deed
viii become more acute. We believe
that there should be erected a tab
ernacle Of SOME kind that will have
seating capacity OF several thousand
people, and our population demands
such. There is not place IN the city
that will comfortably seat over L.
600 people that is available for all
uses. and this matter should have
the immediate attention Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce, and without the

10 give this city the prestige of
having one OF the best equipped in
stiutions to be found. Among the
many devices Of comfort and eff
cheney installed for patrons Of this
institution. is the Electrical Food
Conveyor, an apparatus that upon
casual glance, looks insignificant, in
as much as one unacquainted with
the workings OF the Conveyor would
have little idea Of the skill required
in constructing II and materials used
IN its construction.
The Conveyor, costing hundreds
Of dollars. is mounted upon rubber
tires and wheels, the wheels are ball
bearing, thus assuring hardly any
noise in movement This apparatus
will hold food for forty people The
contents Of which Is constantly heat
ed with electricity The Conveyor
starts its round a, the kitchen where
the innumerable dishes for patients
are required. The elevator then
carries the Conyeyor to the different
rooms Of the building, where il is
easily rolled from room TO room. al
ways hot dishes are served from the
conveyorls
This Electrical Food Conveyor
was made to order for the Lubbock
Sanitarium and WAS purchased at a
large expenditure and We are sure
the patrons Of the South Plains will
appreciate the efforts Of the manage
mcnt in securing this added comfort.
