growing out of a strike of miners in
District No. IA.
He asks that a temporary order be
issued and that the defendants named
in the suit be required to appear and
set up their reasons for prosecuting
and interfering with him. He asks
that they be perpetually enjoined upon
final hearing of the case.
Howat names as defendants Rich

torney of Cherokee county; c. A.
Burnett, county attorney of Craw-
ford county; Milt Gould, sheriff of

J. J. Helm, interurban traction mag
nate and former brewer, is tearing
across the country today as fast as
steam and steel will carry him to

Helm was in Clovis. New Mexico.

a message urging him to hurry home

was that the former brewer and mem
bers of his party left that city at 4
o'clock on a special train over the
Santa Fe. and according to railroad
officials here, should reach Kansas
City sometime between 4 and o'clock
this afternoon.
Santa Fe is giving the Helm special
the right of way over all others and
is operating the train on the fastest
schedule possible consistant with
safety, officials say. The train reach
ed Wellington, Kan, shortly after
noon and barring mishaps may reach
Kansas City by 4 o'clock.
The distance from Clovis to Kansas
City by Santa Fe rail is $685. miles
and the train is scheduled to make it
in twelve hours If it succeeds it
will have moved at an average speed
of fifty-five miles per hour. including
stops, which means that actual run
ming time will be faster. The train
consists of baggage car. one chair
car and a coach. Stops are being
made only at division points. The
train will not pass thru Topeka. going
via the Ottawa cutoff instead.

Second Time Congress Action
in Case Is Unconstitutional.
Previous Act Made State Keep
Goods Made by Children.
EXCISE TAX INVADED STATES
Police Powers Infringed Upon,
Justice Taft Decides.
Decision Was Made in Suit
Brought From n. Carolina.

Washington. May 15.-The child la
Dor law was today held by the su-
preme court to be unconstitutional
and not valid.
The law held unconstitutional to-
day by the court was enacted after
the supreme court had declared in
valid an act of congress which ex-
cluded from interstate commerce
products in whose manufacture child
labor had been used.
The law affected by today's decision
was virtually the same except that it
imposed an excise tax of 10 per cert
upon the annual net profits of estab-
lishments employing child labor.
Opponents of the law contended
the new law was an unconstitutional
invasion of the police powers OF the
states
The decision of the court was rem
dered n a case brought by the gov
ernment against the Drexel Furniture
company of North Carolina. and was
one of three cases brought in that
state testing the validity of the law
and in all of which the United States
district court decided against the
government.

1. NJ. BIitz Denies Anything
Wrong in BOndSman Actions.

An investigation of the alleged
liquor traffic in Topeka is to be made
by the state, according to a statement
today by C. 3. Griffith, assistant at

if conditions prevail such as were in

Corwine by George Wark. federal pro-
hibition director. Saturday, that pro-
ceedings may be brought against those
who may be to blame.

conditions in Topeka ARE deplOrable'

once. He also intimated that the un-

I. NJ. Blitz, proprietor of a jewelry
store at 512 Kansas avenue, was the
alleged professional bondsman" re-
ferred to by Director Wark, according
to Al T.. Williams United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas. Blitz today
admitted that he had signed the bonds
of many men arrested on liquor
charges and accepted money therefor,
but denied that there had ever been
anything illegitimate in connection
with the proceedings. He also denied
that he had accepted money from
bOOtleggerS for setting their cases IN

make no statement concerning Wark's

Local Authorities Have Chance.
The action of the state in stepping
into the situation may mean several
new angles to the case Wark in his
letter checked the matter of alleged
flagrant violations of the prohibitory
law squarely up to the mayor and as
sured him that the government would
not sit idly by" and allow such con-
ditIons to prevail. IT is the disposition
of the federal authorities TO first give
the local authorities a chance to make
4 cleanup.
The natural channel thru which
any actual proceedings are brought
against public officers is the attorney
generals office. 1t would only be in
the event that this office for any rea-
son failed to function that the gov
ernment would take matters entirely
into its own hands.

unchanged, but under a request issued
by President Harding with approval
of the cabinet, a large proportion of
