NOT TRYING COURT
Kansas Tribunal Has Nothing
To Do With q. M. A. Case.

Kansas City, Dec. % (by the A. P.)

up to the conviction and sending to
Jail of Howat and August Dorchy,
union vice president, for violating the
law were placed in evidence the court
law should not be introduced.
In addition to restraining1the inter
national officials the present suit also
would enjoin the coal operators from
paying CHECK off, dues to the provi-
sionaI government set up by the inter

offered in evidence by Judge Ben S.
Gaitskill of counsel for the Jackson
Walker Coal company, one of the de-
fendant concerns.
1t was offered, Judge Gaitskill ex-
planned, to show that the plaintiff did
not come into court with clean
hands" Following Judge DeW's s ruling,
Judge Gaitskill again offered a copy
of the law in evidence, that this court
may be informed as to the offenses
defined therein and may determine
whether any of the plaintiffs at the

WILL MAKE FIGHT
Capper Reused Over Attempt
To Choke His Amendment.
Resents LaFOlIette Charge of
r. r. Conspiracy.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Any attempt
to choke off the Capper amendment
to the transportation act by which the
rate guarantee section Of the act
would be eliminated and intrastate
rate making powers would be restored
to the states, will be met with a hot
fight in the senate.
This was the promise made today
by Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas, in commenting on the state
, ment by Senator LaFollette, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin, that railroad inter-
ests were trying to "caIl off" the
farmers of the country from their op-
position to the act as it stands.
when I first offered the amend
ment to the act 1t seemed to have lit
tie chance of passage" said Capper.
But sentiment has grown strongly
in favor of it until the farmers and
the state commissions are almost SOL
idly behind it and the railroads are
concentrating all their forces to beat il.
Il will predict it will pass. The big
fight will be to get it out of commit
tee. But we do not intend to let up
on 1t until we get some sort of salts
faction"
Capper said he was puzzled by the
action ascribed by LaFollette to rep
resentatives of the National Grange
ana the National Association of Farm
bureaus who were reported to have
agreed with the railroad representa-
tives at secret meeting held in Wash
ington to join the railroads in a pro-
gram of legislation.
These farmer representatives may
have been misled, but whatever their
motives, I am certain the farmers will
never back any such action as is
ascribed to them. The farmers of the
country are a unit in demanding legis-
lation that will insure lower freight
rates"

TROOP NOTES
Sweet Peat Troop

On May 13 the Sweet Pea troop of
Makawao, decided to have their first
outing, in the form of a beach party
and Paia beach was chosen as the
most logical place. About two o.
clock we left the Makawao school
house and of course, everyone o fus
had no question in our minds that
the afternoon would be a jolly one.
Each scout took her own lunch. Some
took sandwiches, cookies, cakes and
a few other things.
On arrival some of the scouts went
in swimming, and after becoming
somewhat tired of the afternoons
fun, we dressed and were ready to
eat our lunches, which, by that time
looked quite appetizing. After lunch
we packed everything away, and got
ready to come home. We are look
ing forward to our next outing with
keen interest and we all hope it
won't be in the far distance. All we
girl scouts wish to thank Mrs. Sam
Baldwin, who is quite interested in
the Makawao girl scouts, for letting
us have her automobile at our dis
pOsal.
