PYROTECHNTC
EXHIBITION
THOUSANDS OF COLUMB.
IANS AND VISITORS SEE
FIREWORKS DISPLAY
THURSDAY NIGHT
Nothing Omitted That Would In
Any Way Contribute To The
Pleasure And Enjoyment
OF The Great Throngs

I 1t was fitting that our great Ger
tennial celebration should end in .
blaze of glory, and the blaze of glory
came in the form Of a magnificent
lpyrotechnic display, Thursday night,
at the historic and time-honored
Franklin Academy, the oldest free
school in the Magnolia State, an in
stitution that is co-existent with the
city of Columbus itself.
1t speaks we'll for the gentlemen who
mapped and planned and builded for
the celebration that they included
display Of fireworks in the exercises.
Not only do the children enjoy a
pyrotechnic display, but older people
as well like to see the bright lights
and hear the rockets as they tear at
terrific pace through the air.
The fireworks display last night
was the best display ever seen here
because of the fact that there were
so many pieces the like of which our
people had never seen. The manufac-
turers Of fireworks, like other manu-
facturers, are constantly trying to i'm
prove on their work, and the display
last night showed that new ideas have
been put into powder. When the
writer was a boy the sky-rockets
simple shot into space in a streak Of
fire. Last night there we're sky-l
rockets that shot into space in
streak of fire and then at great al
titude burst into a shower of stars;
others developed a multitude of in
some brought out -liSptsti
as Of thousand incandescents that
fioated OVER the eity in wonderful
blaze; while still others discharged
dozens of smaller rockets as sthey
eaped into the sky.
There were giant pin-wheels that
gave Off flames of many colOrs. There
we're mines that exploded with great
noise and with lights that were re-
lected on the sky. There was one
piece taht reminded the beholder Of
he Falls of Niagara, except that in
place of volumes Of water showering
n silver spray there were streams of
ire falling to the ground
The fireworks display continued for
lbout an hour, and concluded, most
appropriately, with a fiery flag, a rep
of Old Glory in lights of
ed and white and blue. A tremend-
,us shout Of applause went up when
he flag of our country thus appeared
utlined in flame against the sky.
The grandeur Of the pyrotechnic
.isplay added another star to the
rown Of success worn by the Cen
ennial Committee, committee that
las wrought nobly for our unsurpass-
d municipality.

While the board members came out
of the afternoon session smiling and
in a jovial mood, they left the night
meeting with solemn faces and re-
fused to publicly discuss the session
aside from the statement by Chair
man Barton and Vice Chairman
Hooper.
One union president, following a
conference of the five chiefs, which
followed the afternoon labor board
meeting, declared that two lives are
at stake in the present conferences
"The labor board, according to re-
ports IN Washington, is fighting forl
its life and its future depends on IT'S

Again picking up the trail of the

lost it. for Mrs. Bergdoll frankly de-
clared that she had buried it somewhere
around Philadelphia, that nobody else
knew the spot, and that it was just
where she placed it nearly two years ago.
The draft dodgers mother was positive
in the statement that she never took 1t
TO Hagerstown, Md, where it was sup

prison under a military guard to attempt
the recovery of this gold cache.
In trying to straighten up some of. the
kinks in the testimony the investigation
got into others, one OF which concerned

STATE c. AINNOT
LIMIT QUANTITY
OF INTOXICANTS
If in a Mans BOnafide Resi-
dence for Family Purposes
and Lawfully Acquired.
(By MARY MEGINNfSS.)

TALLAHASSEE, May 13-In re-
versing the judgment of the circuit
court for Dade county in the case of
Walter Hall, plaintiff in error, VS.. d.
w. Moran, sheriff, in the Florida su-
preme court, an opinion prepared by
Judge Whitfield and filed today, holds
as follows:
The 18th amendment extends the
federal power to intrastate control of
intoxicati ting liquors for beverage pur-
poses, and gives the state concurrent
power with congress to enforce prohi-
bition commanded by the amend
ment, but it does not expressly give
the state concurrent power to enforce
statutory prohibitions Of the posses
sion of intoxicating liquors so as to
let the state penalize for the posses
sion of liquors by a person in his pri-
vate dwelling for family purposes,
when congress expressly permits it.
The express power of congress and
the state under the 18th amendment
is concurrent, but implied powers may
not be concurrent. Congress has the
legislative power wherever the federal
authority reaches, but the state has
power in matters to which the federal
power extends only as conferred or
permitted by the dominant federal
law
In so far as the statutes of the state
punish the unlawful possession of in
toxicating liquors at places other than
in ones private dwelling for family
purposes, they are in substantial ac-
cord with the Volstead act of congress
and may be enforced; but in so far as
the state statutes limit the quantity of
intoxicating liquors that person may
have in his bona fide residence for
family purposes if it is lawfully ac-
ouired and used, the state statute de-
nies or abridges a right that is ex-
pressly conferred by the dominant
federal law, and the state statute is
to that extent uncomfortable.
The plaintiff in error was represent
ed by Messrs. Bart A. Riley and r. B.
Gautier of Miami. The state by the
attorney general.

AIDED BY RADICALSOFFICERS
CHARGE GROUP OF CATHOLICS
Were Holding Demonstration Of
Protest Against Desc
Grafton of Church.
INTENSE BITTERNESS
is BEING MANIFESTED
Inspector of Police Injured and
Several of His Men
Were Killed.
(Ry The Associated Press.)

MEXICO CITY, May 13.-Fifty per-
sons were killed and score wound
ed last night in Morelia, capital of
the state of Michigan, says reports to
the Excelsior early this morning when
police, aided by unsolicited help from
radicals, charged a large group of
Catholics.
The Catholic population of Morelia
was much incensed Sunday when radi-
Gals entered several churches there,
broke many images and eventually
placed their red flag on the cathedral
tower. A demonstration of protest
was held yesterday, according to dis
patches received here, but was broken
up by police. aided by federal soldiers,
when clashes with jeering radicals on
the side lines threatened serious trou-
BILE.
The demonstration was resumed
again in the evening. Vicente Coyt,
inspector of police, led large unit of
fully armed gendarmes against the
demonstrators, few of whom carried
arms. The latter refused the demand
of Coyt that they disperse and when
a volley was fired over their heads, the
dispatches state they charged at the
police who levelled their guns at the
crowd. The Catholics, some of whom
We're women, We're dazed at. the ac-
|! tion OF the roi.c1 and seeing Their
comrades lying dead in the streets, fled
in panic.
General Garcia, chief of military op-
erations jim the state of Michoacan, and
General Nunica, governor of the state
combined their forces to restore order
and prevent further outbreaks which
: it is feared will occur.
The latest dispatches from Morelia
to Excelsior indicate intense bitter
| ness is being manifested against the
extreme action of Coyt, which is be-
lieved here to have been unwarranted
Coyt, who led the police personally
was injured and three of his men were
among those killed. Isaac Arriaga, So
cialist leader in MoreIia and head OF
the agrarian commission there, also
was killed.
