LEA TO Retire
AT END OF TERM
TO PAY OFF COUNTY DEBT
Prominent Political Leader Announces
that He Will Not Seek Reelection
as County Judge.

County Judge j. A. Lea, one of the
best known and most successful polit-
zeal leaders in Faulkner county, will
not seek reelection and will retire
from politics, temporarily at least, he
authorized the Log Cabin Democrat
to state today. The announcement
will come as surprise in political
circles and as disappointment to
Judge Lea's friends. While he had
never stated that he would be can
didate for any office, it was generally
believed that he would seek to succeed
himself in his present office.
There will be three and possibly
more candidates in the field for county
judge. Former Judge j. W. Holt has
already published his formal announce
ment, and the Log Cabin Democrat has
received the announcement of Marvin
(. Cornell of Naylor, which will APP
pear next week. Former County Judge
E. l.. Smith, who was defeated for re-
election by Judge Lea, is also an avow-
ed candidate. Frank Raney of Prov
ldence'has been prominently mention
ed, but as yet has made no announce
ment
When he retires from office next
January, the county will be in the best
financial condition that it has for
more than 80 years, Judge Lea said
today. eve have just completed can
ceiling the scrip received by the col
lector from the taxes of 1919" he said,
"and have made up a statement of the
outstanding warrants, showing that
there are now less than $4,000 in
floating warrants against the county.
The allowances between now and
January l will probably exceed the re-
ceipts and increase the debt slightly,
but the amount of taxes for 1920
charged to the collector when the tax
books are delivered to him next Jan
uary will more than cover all the scrip
that will be outstanding at that time,
leaving the county virtually free of
debt"
Judge Lea said he did not contem-
plate making any large expenditures
for any purposes before the expira-
ton of his term. 1t is impossible to
award contract for steel bridges, he
said, although at least two are ur-
gently needed. The county already
has the best equipment for road work
or any in the state, he declared, and
it is all paid for. The Judge, however,
said he had had to discontinue road
work until labor could be obtained at
more reasonable figures. Men in this
work were receiving IS to Sc day,
ne said, and struck for more pay, and
he ordered road work discontinued
After crops are laid byI
he road overseers can make consid-
erable improvement on the roads with
rec labor, he said, by filing holes and
the drainage.
With the exception of only short in
ervals, Judge Lea has held some coun-
y office since 1896 He is serving
lis fourth term Though not consecu-
ive) as county judge, and has served
several terms each as county clerk
md circuit clerk. AS county judge his
policies have enlisted ardent support
rom some quarters and strong oppo-
3ition from others, but he was never
out once defeated in campaign, and
hen by close vote. He has rendered
much valuable service to the county
md many citizens will regret that he
1aS decided TO retire from office.

APPEAL TAKEN
IN RENT CASE
Ball Act Again Center of
Legal Dispute in
Courts.

The Ball rent act. buffeted by
many legal storms, is again on its
way to the Court of Appeals where
last month it was declared uncon-
stitutional.
Chief Justice Mccoy, in com
pliance with the mandate of the APP
pellate Court granted Louis Hirsh,
in the Hirsh- Block case, a judg-
ment for possession of the premises
at 919 F street northwest, occupied
by Julius Block.
The Hirsh- Block case is the pro-
cecdings on which the appeal from
the Appellate Courts decision de-
claring the Ball rent act invalid will
be carried eventually to the United
States Supreme Court.
When the Appellate Court made
this decision last month is specifi-
Cally stated that its Judgment in
the case was not final and remanded
the Hirsh-BIock case to the lower
court for disposal in a manner not
Inconsistent with its opinion.
Block noted an appeal from Chief
Justice McCoy's action yesterday,
and, If the Appellate Court again de-
cides against him, he may again
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court without the case having to
be referred to a lower court another
time.

Legislation.
lBx u.i,er-.I seryiee.l

In anticipation Of very vigorous
protests from Japan in the event
California voters adopt the anti
japanese legislation now before
them on referendum, the State De-
partment is keeping a watchful eye
over the progress of the movement
against the Japanese subjects res
ident in that State.
1t is assumed by State Depart
ment officials that the law TO bar
Japanese from land ownership in
California will pass. The record In
the legislation is being studied
closely in order that the govern
ment may be prepared to meet
whatever representations the Jap
anese officials may make when the
law becomes effective
1t was stated at the State De-
partment yesterday that the pro-
tests hitherto made by the Japan
Csc government against discrimina-
tory legislation of this sort are ex-
tremely mild in comparison with the
objection which Japan Is expected
to register If the California voters
express their disapproval of the
continuance of Japanese on their
soil.

Lawyers Told
Not to Solicit
Cases inDock
Police Court Judge Declares
Some D. c. Attorneys
Are Guilty.

Judge Robert N. Hardison, of the
United States branch of the local
Police Court, yesterday warned
lawyers not to solicit business
among persons locked up in the
dock.
Il believe that the majority of
lawyers who practice in the police
courts" said Judge Hardison in
discussing the alleged misuse of
prison privileges, have high ideals
and would not stoop to such un-
dignified actions. But there are
some who are doing this sort of
thing. They have got to stop it.
1T is not only highly improper"
he continued. but reprehensible
and subject to action by the court.
Furthermore, it has come to my
attention that some court attaches
have been working as agents for
certain attorneys by directing
clients to them. Any employe of
the court who is guilty of such a
thing will be dismissed"

Says a mems clothing expert of
one Of the largest department

Lawton MackalI, in Lcslie's.
Formerly the demand for suits
was confined almost entirely to two
colors-the blues and the grays.
Now. it is altogether differen,. zen
fancy suits are sold for every BIZ c
serge. Gray mixtures. such as used
10 be regarded as fancy. are con-
servative now and bought mostly
by old men who in those days
would have worn black. The
Young men buy barnyard browns
and peculiar shades Of green, and
pale tan overcoats Older men buy
more conservative suits not merely
because they are older but also be-
cause they have more money to
spend and own more clothes. They
want a fabric that will hold its
shape and cut that wont look out
OF style next season.
JaEz suits Popular.
The young man Of eighteen to
twenty-five goes on an entirely diff
ready cash. but hopes TO have more
next year. Meanwhile he needs a
new suit. He buys something mex
pensive but decidedly pronounced.
The fact that the styles will change
doesn't worry him, as he'll wear
this suit every day till il is worn
OUT. and then get another. So he
goes in for the most striking thing
he can find at a price he can af-
