thirty-seven Hurley saloons closed

The efforts to have the saloons
closed are the result Of the raid

getting the descriptions of the
places which it is desired to close.
United States Marshal Frank o.
Connor was in Hurley this week
serving the papers on saloon
keepers for their appearance at a
hearing to be held at Lacrosse
next week in connection with the
injunction proceedings
Should the injunctions be grant
ed it would mean that thirty seven
buildings in Hurley would be clos.
ed for saloon purposes for one year.
Proprietors would have to furnish
bonds as guarantee Of faith.
Judge Lands some time ago closed
many places in Chicago which had
been used as saloons for violations
Of the prohibitions laws, and since
it has been reported that Judge
lands viii oificiate at the hearing
in the Hurley cases it may be ex-
pected that Hurley saloonkeepers
will fare likewise.

PABST MINE DRY TENDER
SHOT AND MURDERED
Confession of Bessemer Tailor lmpli-
eating His Partner May Lead to
Arrest of the Assailant.

Blaze Kocevar. night man at the
III shaft dry house of the Pabst
mine in Ironwood, was shot and
murdered at an early hour Tues
day morning Five shots were
fred at Kocevar, all of which took
effect in vital parts of his body and
his death was almost instantaneous.
He was still breathing when his
riddled body was discovered by
attendants at the dry Immediately
after the shooting, although he
passed away in a short time.
The brutal murder stirred the
community and for time excite
ment ran high. Kocevar's assail
ant escaped and at this writing is
still at large, but with the confess
sion of a tailor at Bessemer the
authorities have been furnished
with the asslilant's identity and
his apprehension may be expected
at any moment.
John Mantyla, proprietor of a
tailor shop on Longyear street at
Bessemer, confessed to the Bcss-
emer chief of police early Tuesday
evening that his partner, John
Warranen, of Jessieville, fred the
shots which killed Kocevar. War
ranen is also said to be a relative
of Mantyla's.
According to Mantyla's comics.
sion to the police he and Warranen
had attended party" at Jessie
vile, had imDi6ed of moonshine
and were under the influence of
liquor when the shooting occurred.
They left the party at an early
hour Tuesday morning and, accord.
ing to Mantyla, entered the Pabst
H" shaft dry house with the in
tention of remaining there the rest
of the night, continuing their
journey home in the morning. The
drytender, Kocevar, refused to al
low them to stay there and the
shooting followed. Warranen drew
revolver from his coat pocket
and shot Kocevar FIVE times. The
last shot he fired at his victim by
placing the muzzle Of the revolver
to Kocevar $ face. Mantyla said
they then started for Jessieville and
on the way Warranen compelled
Mantyla to exchange coats with
him, Warranen giving Mantyla his
army coat for a blue mackinaw that
Mantyla wore. Mantyla returned
to his home at Bessemer, and, it
is said, went to bed. Early in the
evening he made his confession to
the police.
Sheriffs and police in nearby
towns were notified Of the murder
and have kept strict surveillance.
1t is reported that Warranen was
seen at Orva, west of Hurley, on the
day following the shooting. With
the description of Mantyla now in
the hands of authorities covering
wide territory it is not believed that
he can long evade capture.
Warranen is described as being
about 5 feet and 10 inches tall
weight about IT'S pounds, Slight of
build, has dark hair and when last
seen wore blue mackinaw. His
left eye is said to be defective. He

TEST FOR THE
DAYLIGHT Law
Supreme Court Asked to
Pass Upon Validity of
N. ]. Ordinances
FARMERS ARE BACK
OF THE CASE

BRIDGETON. N J., Aug. b.-A
test Of the validity Of the daylight
saving ordinances throughout New
Jersey is to be made by Minch Bros,
as a result of the outcome of a
minor case in the court of j. Ellis
worth Long, Justice of the Peace.
Minch Bros. are widely known as a
corporation, operating nearly twenty
farms, and l.. willard Minch, OF the
company, is vice-president of the
New Jersey Agricultural Society. of
which United States Senator Ere
linghuysen is the head.
1t will be the first case OF the kind
in New Jersey. and It is understood
Minch Bros. will have the backing
of agriculturists In general and the
oranges in particular.
Minch Bros. a short time ago,
were summoned to appear in the
court of Justice Long in an inquiry
as to whether they were complying
in all respects with the State. law in
reference to the marking of carriers
in which their products were sent
out
Ahc INJURY was uOL determined,
however. Justice Long conducts his
court on daylight-saving time and
as the defendants did not appear at
the time set he gave judgment
against them, imposing a penalty Of
S25. An hour later, by standard
time, the Minch Bros. appeared and
were astounded to learn what had
been done Accordingly their law
yer, Joseph II. Powell, has obtained
a writ of certiorari from the State
Supreme ourt for a review of the
case. The Noint to be determined is
as to whether Justice Long had juris-
diction at the time he gave his YER
dict, the passing upon that point de-
termining the validity Of the day
] light" ordinances.
An interesting phase Of the ques-
tion is that the Cumberland Court
the Supreme Court and the Court OF
Errors and Appeals all meet on day
light-saving time. while a New Jersey
salute designates standard time a,
the legal time for this State.

At THE PARKWAY

Not only are the funny pranks of
a mischievous boy attractive features
Of "Peck's Bad Boy" starring Jackie
Coogan. who was THE Kid" with
Charlie Chaplin. at the Parkway
Theatre, Delaware avenue and
Adams street. today and tomorrow,
but a strong love theme is provided
by Wheeler Oakman and Doris May,
who plays the part of big sister.
When this play was given its pre-
miere on Broadway, New York, at
the Strand Theatre, It proved a sem
sational success and has been play
ing to full houses everywhere II is
shown. Manager Duryea, of the
Parkway, wired Resident Manager
Lyon that Peck's Bad Boy played
to 5000 in the Baltimore theatre Of
the Parkway company. Yesterdays s
big crowds here would indicate that
similar success is to be scored at
the local theatre. It is not sur
prising that Jackie Coogan has
scored so tremendously in the Gin
ema world for his mother and daddy
we're both old-time theatrical stars.
"Peck's Bad Boy is in five reels and
is directed by Sam Wood. The titles
are written by Irwin S. Cobb and
this naturally adds much to the
comedy. The added attraction will
be Henry Lehrman's comedy, "Th6
Punch OF the Irish" featuring Al
Ray, F. Coleman and Virginia Rape
and the Kineto Review will b'
shown, as usual.

contention does not stand the light
of reason, because exactly the same
situation wound arise in the case Of
the death Of the chancellor. or Of
his resignation. or of his removal
from the State. This situation with
respect to the chancellor might fur
nish a strong argument for an
amendment to the constitution, but
it is no reason for taking the
language Of the Constitution
and attempting to give to il a
meaning that 1t does not possess.
Undoubtedly vacancies in Office
should be avoided. If possible. AS
is said in "Throop on Public OFF,
GERS" Section 30S;-
1.-THE law abhors vacancies in pub
lie Offices. and great precautions are
taken to guard against their occur
renee. The policy OF the law is TO
have someone always in place. to
discharge the duties Of public Offices
and, in doubtful case. the con-
struction of a law fixing the tenure
of an office would be greatly infiu-
enced by that consideration; but
where there is a casus omissus. re-
sulting from giving the language OF
the law the only construction OF
which Il is fairly susceptible, the
courts must leave it to the law max
