Attorney General McCran issued a
statement declaring in vigorous IAN
guage that he will join with Cover
nor Edwards in fighting the case.
He declared that every resource that
the state can summon VIII be thrown
into the contest to determine wheth-
er the State of New Jersey or the
United States court is to rule in this
state.
The law requires that three Unit
ed States judges shall hear the case

announced that Judges j. Warren
Davis of this district and Victor
Wooley of Delaware will be his as
sociates. These are both circuit
court judges.
Attorney General McCran's state
ment follows:
"The action of Judge Rellstab in
authorizing the Public Service Cor
portation to chagre an increased fare
Is most startling and will give the
people of New Jersey as well as to
the country at large, food for SER
ious thought.
every resource of the attorney
generals department will be thrown
into this case, not only because OF
question as to what rate of fare snail
be charged, but whether or not af-
fairs shall hereafter be determined
by the federal courts or by the courts
which the people of New Jersey have
created for the orderly administra-
ton of justice.
mo citizen will question the right
of the federal courts to protect every
constitutional right whether of the
humblest citizen or of largest cor
poration. but l deny and will con-
tinue to do so until the supreme
court of the United States DEGREES
to the contrary the right of any fed
erai department judicial or other
wise, to say what fare shall be paid
by the citizens of New Jersey to a
corporation exercising franchise
by permission of state and operating

MEX 10 REBEL
 IF NOT GIVEN
 COTTON LOANS
tBy United rress)

Mexico City, April 23.-The state of Coahulia will contribute 30,0OO men to the revolt being planned under the leadership of General Pablo Gonzales, unless the Obregon gov ernment provides further financial aid for cotton growers.
 This ultimatum was given the Ob- regon minister of finance today by a delegation of Coahulia planters. The Oregon government has offered loans equal to 80 per cent of the value of the crop, but has only paid 20 per cent on applications for relief.
 The Coahuila delegation declared that the 20 per cent payment is not sufficient and demands that the re- mainder be paid promptly. Unless the demand is met, the revolt will meet with vast accession of strength from rebellious farmers.

CLAIMS BACKBONE
 OF l. W. W. BROKEN
(By United Press)


 Washington, April 23.-Taps were sounded for the l. w. w., the strongest national organization of radical So- eialists, when William D. Haywood made his escape from the United States and sought refuge in Russia. Haywood was under 2O-year sentence for violence of the espionage act.
 Chief Lewis J. Bailey of the bureau of investigation, department of jus tice, expects the l. w. w to suffer a sharp setback through the loss of Haywood. The I. W. w. has suffer ed a blow to it's prestige that will weaken it's power" Chief Bailey de- elared. 1t will not be so powerful in stirring labor discord, and the or ganization will meet difficulty on all sides when attempts are made to re- cruit new members. Without a con tinuous string of converts, the l. w. w will die and Haywood's betrayal will have a deterrent effect upon this phase of it's activity"

URGE HARDING
 TO ARb|TRATE
 WAR DAMAGES
(Py Tinted press)


 Washington, April 23.-With the senate and house considering the Knox peace resolution and the propos- ed call by President Harding for an international conference on disarma- ment, an air of tensity was injected into international affairs today when the foreign relations committee of the senate preached the suggestion that the president act as mediator in the separations deadlock between Ger many and the allies.
 President Harding's opportunity to conciliate the reparations tangle, in- volving the re-entry of America into the old world affairs, is claimed by party adherents to be his one "big chance" to restore world peace. Senators friendly to the president ap- prove it as more importance than if peace already had been established with the United States as parti- cipant.
 It is semi-officially said that Presi- dent Harding as mediator would be acceptable to Germany, in face, the suggestion is said to have had origin in Germany.

CABINET SECRETTIVE
 ON NEWEST ANSWER
(By United Press ]

Berlin, April 23.-Foreign Minister Simon and the cabinet, with party leaders, today continued their confer ences on the counter proposal to be submitted the allied premiers. The decision of the cabinet was reached at midnight and will be submitted party leaders at final conferences today.
 While details of the proposal are closely guarded, it was learned from a reliable source that it will be trans mitted to the allies through Ameri- can Secretary of State Hughes at Washington. This move would indi- cate that Germany has accepted in good faith the offer of the Harding administration to conciliate the diff ferences arising between Germany and the allies on the separations questions.

Many Uses for Sulphur.

A correspondent in Capper's Farm
er gives the following as some OF the
uses of sulphur in getting rid OF vari-
Gus pests 49,,
If livestock gets scratch that
brings the blood we apply sulphur
and lard, which keeps the tiles away
and heals the wound rapidly.
When cribbing corn we sprinkle
sulphur in every load. 1t keeps rats
and mice away and is not in furious
to the stock. The corn we wish to
grind for meal we keep separate, as
the taste OF sulphur is not pleasant,
although not harmful.
If field mice are gnawing the roots
of fruit trees we sprinkle the grouna
about the tree with sulphur and draw
dose earth up over it. That stops
the mice. We also put few tea
spoons of sulphur in mole runs to get
rid of that pest.

MRS. FOREMAN ENTERTAINs

Mrs. John Foreman was hostess to the members of the Study club of America, Ala, Saturday afternoon.
 The home was beautiful with au- tumnal effects, the color scheme be- ing carried out in yellow and white. The guests upon arrival were served refreshing amber punch. This being the regular meeting day, the regular order of business was used, after which the Misses Vinton gave a splendid musical programme. MT. l.. Hendrix delighted the guests by reading his play From Bug Tussle to Birmingham" (which was played by the university Blackfriars at the Jefferson in the spring. Mi. Hem dirk has a very fine sense of humor, and fairly convulsed the ladies with his reading.
 The hostess took this occasion to give Miss Dora Mae Vintson a go- in-away shower before she leaves for Cincinnati this month to resume her studies in music. Little Miss Ruth Griffin Morton entered the liv- ing room bearing a huge yellow and white basket filled with interesting looking packages. The honoree was overwhelmed with surprise, but, very charmingly showed her appreciation A unique contest of guessing the sta- tions en route to Cincinnati was en- joyed by the guests, and Mrs. A. L. Haley received the first prize, love- ly box of stationery and Mrs. A. Gull verhouse the consolation, game.
 The color scheme was further noted In ices, brick cream and angel food hints, which were served.
