combating the bubonic plague which
has made its appearance here.
Eleven authenticated cases have de-

the first case is believed now to have

to be bubonic. Since that date there

plague.
In the opinion of the medical au-
thorities the plague has not yet at
tanned the character of an epidemic
and they believe it can easily be con-

to combat it. Fumigation of the
freight warehouses already has be-

houses near the central point OF, the

up Charles Warner, Commerce police
chief, and they proceeded. A few
hundred yards further Lynch drew an
automatic which he had concealed and
opened fire.

and body and fell unconscious. Lynch
then shot Chandler twice thru the
body, killing him instantly. Byrd and
Warner. attracted by the shots. drew
up alongside of the car and Lynch
opened fire again.

was shot three times. Hawkins was
shot thru the ear and Woods was
slightly wounded. Vanderpoo1 died a
few minutes after reaching Miami

large.
A subcommittee reporting on the

The Wood delegation from Florida
was headed by National Committee

The effect of this organized union
In Topeka is to be felt-it all depends
on the attitude taken by the national
chiefs and the limit to which the new
men are willing togo in behalf of their
antasonism against the old order.
1t is admitted that there is consid-
eraole uneasiness in Topeka as to the
acuoh tnat might result from the
rump' organization. The trouble in

PROTECT THEIR own SALARIES
Supreme Court Decides Against Paying
Federal Income Taxcs.

Washington, June THE federal
income tax upon the salaries of the
president and the judges including
the justices of the supreme courf is
unconstitutional. the supreme court
today decided in reversing decisions
of a lower court.
The decision compels the govern
ment to refund all such taxes paid.
Judge Walter Evans. of Louisville
brought the appeal to the sunrerne
court on the ground that the tax vio-
lates the constitutional provision that
FEDERAL judges and the president
shall receive for their services a COM
pensaton which shall not be dimin-
lshed during their continuance in Of
tlce. The tax. he argued. was a
dimunition of this compensation.
