Salvation Army to Limit
OTHERS PRAISE WORK

outcome of the second Home Service
Appeal of the Salvation Army Of which
he is zone chairman. Judge Sheppard
said yesterday: "The whole country
is behind the Salvation Army. The
organization has made name for
itself which will be immortal. On every
hand we hear tales of the wonderful
work the Salvation Army has done and
is doing.
In the storm stricken areas of Mis-
|sissippi and Alabama the Salvation
Army workers gave early relief to
the sufferers. Nurses, food, supplies
of all kinds were hurried into the
storm swept zone before even the half,
of the story of destruction had been
told.
Men who have returned from for
eign service give hearty praise to the
Salvation Army for what it did on the
other side.
"Al1 these accounts have built up
high and enviable reputation for the
Salvation Army and success for the
Appeal is easily foreseen."
James A. White of the John White
Store and John Massey of Cary & Co.
are both enthusiastic supporters of the
Salvation Army. Mr.. White said yes
terday that the Salvation Army's work
could not be handled by any other or
ganization, that it reached out into
the world and gathered in the weak,
the erring and the poor, and gave to
each one of it's strength. Mr.. White
said that he was prepared to help to
the best of his ability in the Home
Service Appeal. May 10 to 20.
John Massey is another Pensacola
man who is enthusiastic in his praise
of the Salvation Army. ''The army
and the knights of Columbus worked
shoulder to shoulder in France" Mr..
Massey said, land the knights learned
to understand how loyal and how SIN
cere the Salvation Army people are.
In battle and in repose the Salvation
Army lassies gave of their best to help
the American forces to win and the
memories Of that help will never be
Mr.. Massey spoke of the work the
army is doing in Pensacola and re-
called the numerous times Capt. Ber-
gren has discovered and relieved suf-
fering. 1T is a truly wonderful or

Judge Jones in Court of Record
Decides Members are Officers
and Hold Two Positions
GOES TO SUPREME COURT
Attorneys for Board Sue Out
Writ of Error Asking High
est Court Reverse Decision

foIiowing the decision of Judge c,
moreno Jones. in which he held that
certain sections of the cattle dippine
law was violate of the state constitu-
tion, yesterday, the law firm Jf Watson
O. Pasco, representing the State Live
stock Sanitary Board, sued ont writ
OF error to the supreme court from the
decision of the court of record. The
case viii be taken before that body
for final settlement of the coastiiu-
tionality of the dipping law.
The legal question mainly argued
before the court was the question Of
the constitutionality of the act Great
ing the Livestock Sanitary Board. The
act specified that three state officers.
the commissioner of agriculture. super
intendent Of public instruction and the
state treasurer and two other officers
TO be appointed by the governor, and
VINO would hold this office for four
years, should constitute the board
Judge Jones held in his decision that
section one of the cattle dipping law
creating this board was violate of the
state constitution, which reads that mo
person shall hold or perform the func-
tions OF more than one office of this
state al the same time"
law was unconstitutional Judge Jones
ordered the sheriff to release from
custody G. j. Parsons, who was re-
Gently arrested upon a warrant issued
from the justice of the peace's office.
The case was brought to the attention
of the court by attorneys for Parsons
suing out writ of habeas corpus.
John Stokes and John Beard repre-
sented the petitioner and Sam Pasco
represented the sanitary board
A former attack on the constitu-
uonality of the law was made before
Judge Jones, the sections being argued
at that time was that the local option
clause of the law was illegal and that
the legislature had no right to delegate
powers to board as was given to the
State Livestock Sanitary Board.
On these points Judge Jones held
that the law was constitutional and
the case was appealed to the supreme
court. That tribunal upheld the lower
courts decision. This was case of
Bailey VS. Van Pelt.
The arguments of both counseIs were
lot completed until late hour Tues
lay afternoon and Judge Jones noti-
led the attorneys that he would render
his decision at some time yesterday.
He was asked by the attorneys for the
petitioners to set Saturday as the day
or rendering the decision, as they
would both be absent from the city
yesterday. Later, postponing their
rip, the two attorneys appeared before
he judge and asked that he render
lis decision yesterday If it was con-
'enient to him.
AT the hearing Tuesday many cattle
nen and farmers were present through
ut the proceedings and great deal
f interest over the rural sections OF
he county had been manifest over the
utcome of the case. Cattlemen of
ther counties were also following the
evelopments with closest interest. as
he law affects the interest IF every
