Only part Of the band was able to go,
as a number of the members were
not allowed time off by their en-
ployers. While this was disappoint-
ment to the local merchants who are
sending the premier musical organi-
zation of Keokuk as their part In

made UP by the fine programs 1t
played.

MORE DETECTIVES
 NEEDED FOR CITY, STATES CHIEF LYONS
Department Makes About 480 Arrests Monthly, Says Chief of Detectives. RObberies Not Ab-
 normal

The detective department makes an average of I6 arrests every day. or about 4SO I month, according to Chief of De tectiyes Eddie Lyons MT. Lyons declares that despite the seemingly unusual activ ity on the part of thieves recently, the number of bufglaries and thefts reported is not abnormal nor more than might De expected at this season of the year.
 For some reason or other November December and January are the worst months in the year for robberies, said Chief Lyons yesterday. "The 12 men in this department are kept busy day and night and have been very successful as whole, but Birmingham has grown so large that we really need more detee- tives'
 Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis and other southern cities are said to be suffering much more than Birmingham from roo- berries. most of the thieving here being trivial in nature. Chief Lyons is anxtous for the city to give him two more auto mobiles and believes that this eonten1- plated addition, together with two of three good men. will place the department at maximum efficiency
 "A great many of the robberies recently committed have been traced to frequent CTS of poo1rooms," said Chief Lyons, ana we are going to clean out all vagrants and undesirables from these places.
 Two detectives are now deyoting their entire time to rounding up vagrants ana petty gamblers

 A POLITICAL QUESTION
 All questions" the brief said, "as to what a constitution or a constitutional amendment means are. of course justi- fable. But the question as to what constitution shall be adopted, or in what respects an existing constitution shall be altered. are governmental and political. The ultimate forum provided by the constitution for their dctermi- nation consists of the legislatures or the various states, the action of three fourths of them being binding on all.
 ''The state of Rhode Island had the right to make it's fight against the adoption of the eighteenth amendment by bringing to bear such influence as it could upon the legislatures of it's sis ter states, but from the decision or three -fourths of those states upon this question of policy there was no appeal Y
 Tn seeking to bring the suit, the gov ernment alleged that the court is thus invited to assume the function Of de- termining both for Congress and for the legislatures of the various states what. if any, amendments may be made to the constitution without the consent of all the states"
 Such Jurisdiction" the brief added would be equivalent to veto power through which the courts and not Con- gress would finally determine what amendments the people should be given the opportunity to adopt. Not only can no such power be inferred from any thing in the constitution, but it's asser- tion is directly in conflict with the ex- press provisions of the constitution" :.
 The government in conclusion sais either the controversy was between the state of Rhode Island and the defend- ants named, but is not justifiable, or, if justifiable, iS one between state and the United States, in which the lat ter has not consented to be sued.
