The decision of Judge r. NJ. Call. of
the Florida district court, that there
is no conflict between the Volstead act
of the United States and the Florida
liquor laws passed prior to the amend
ment to the constitution. is perhaps
the first of its kind in the United
States. Had the opposite opinion been
expressed, the Florida liquor laws
would have been annulled.
The decision came, following the SUI
ing out of two WTitS of habeas corpus,
the arguments of which were heard
before the court last Thursday. Ac-
cording to the decision of the court
the three men who have already been
sentenced by the state court to serve
six months must serve their sentences
and the five defendants in the other
case charged With violation of prohibit
ton laws, are remanded to the state
court for trial.
f. H. Ramsey, Clyde White and Rufus
Grand sued out the first writ OF habeas
corpus, alleging in common with the
case sued out by Cecil B. Stewart, A
Wilman, C. Stanton. Jerry Kerr. ant
Barnell Larbe, the conflict between the
state law and the federal government
The first habeas corpus also had The
additional fact that the men were I'M
der arrest by federal officer wher
they were arrested by the state au-
thoritfes.

RATS SUBSIST
ON WASTE FOOD

Only a small proportion Of rats are
caught by the rat catching crews that
are working in the city, due largely to
the fact that the rats can secure plenty
of food from around the premises OF
the homes This statement was made
to the commissioners yesterday by the
foremen of one Of the crews.
They ask that the citizens be more
careful in keeping refuse food from
lying around the houses where the rats
may feed. As long as the rats can
| find food lying around they will not
enter the traps set for them. The
trained catchers are finding it hard to
induce the rats into the traps and are
taking this means of requesting every
one to keep their premises clean.
Yesterday only a very few of the
rats We're caught and the men stated
| to the commissioners that unless every
one cO-operated with them by keeping
| food away from the rats that the cam
paign would be long drawn out. II
was stated that on an inspection o.
several yards that bread scraps bones
| from meat and other articles of food
were found. All refuse should be placed
| in the covered garbage cans so that
rats will have to enter the traps for
| food.
All three ordinances have been
printed in pamphlet form and will be
distributed to every home in the city
nv the commissioners. The ordinances
!. IRE self explanatory and are being dis
| tributed that no one may misinterpret
them. More than 10000 copies of the
ordinances have been printed and Will
be distributed within the next few
| DAYS

Chicago, May 22.-Railroad work CTS, assured of wage increases by ad- mission of railroad owners that they are entitled to salary boosts, arc plan ming thru their leaders here to insist on the full granting of heir nemands for an annual increase of one billion dollars.

 Railroad labor leaders, representing two million employees plan to offer evidence in rebuttal of the owners claims that the workers are not en- titled to the full increases sought, it was said.

 Winter admitted in his opening statement before the board last Mon day that the workers were justified in seeking an increase, but not to the extent of the amounts asked. Rail- road leaders, strengthened by Winters admission, said they would offer evil dence to justify their demands
 Vice President A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, said railroad labor executives would take the stand when the owners finished the presentation of their case and submit facts to prove their de- mands are justified Winter is ex- pected to conclude his testimony early next week and is then expected to be followed by several railroad presi- dents.
 Employees representatives said if the railroad heads do not take the stand voluntarily they will ask the board to subpoena them.

 Tn conjunction with Bert Rossiter, Graves is steering the Indian heavy weight carefully toward the heavy weight crown. The Walthill (Neb) Club has the redskin under contract and has hired Graves to handle him. He is a real scrapper-among the best in the A. F. F., though he never won a title lover there" for the reason that he was too small to box the heavies and too big to tangle with the light heavies. He did win two di- visional championships in the light heavy class, but soon outgrew the class. Now he is full-fledged heavy weight, sealing 1855 pounds, and is hot after Bob Martin, Bob Roper and Ray Smith, and others of that calibre Sudenburg is an old hand at the game, but has never had the proper hand ling to bring out his best points,. and Braves hopes to garner the middle weight championship with him. John- ny recently gave the Indian a good battle, succumbing after a desperate scrap, in six rounds, though outweigh ed twenty pounds. He is after Johnny Wilson. or any middleweight who may stand in the way of bout for the title Lamson and Sudenburg will do their training together at Walthill, Nebras- ka, on the Omaha Indian reservation.

And while the fly speck' efforts of Attorney General Palmer to fight the cost of living have failed ut terly, tight money and tighter credits brought on by many conditions, are doing the job and starting the cost of living downward.
