ATTACK ON COVTRTS
REACHES THE SENATE
Senator LaFollette Under Hot Fire on
Account of Plan to Disrupt
the Courts.
1By Associated Press Leased wire.)


Washington, D. c. The plan of
Senator LaFollette, Republican, Wis
consin, to give Congress power by
constitutional amendment to override
supreme court decision holding its act
unconstitutional caused another furry
today in the Senate, Senators Edge,
Republican, New Jersey and Kellogg,
Republican, Minnesota, attacking the
proposal and evoking fiery defense
from Senator LaFollette.
The LaFollette proposal advanced on
June IA, before the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention, in Cincinnati
was assailed by Senator'S Edge and
Kellogg as subversive of Democratic
government, while Senator LaFollette
took sharp exception to the opinion
that he would attempt any attack on
popular government.
"Any man who invites lack of re-
spect of our courts, weakens the COR
nerstone of our government" said
Senator Edge, who added that Senator
LaFollette's plan was "false and revo-
lutionary and an attack not only on the
judiciary but upon the American peo-
pie and the government"
Senator Kellogg said Senator La
Follette's plan was pernicious doc
trine which would strike cat the very
foundation of government" and give
Congress the power to interpret and
override the constitution as it should
see fit. The Minnesota senator, with
Senator Edge, denied that the supreme
court had "usurped" the power to de-
clare Congressional acts void.
Senator Edge defended and Senator
LaFollette attacked the New Jersey
senator's insertion in the Congression-
al Record of an address by DR.. Nichol-
as Murray-Butler, president of the
Columbia University attacking the La
Toilette plan.

UTILITIES HIT
BY COAL STRIKE
Railroad Commission is Told Rates
Must Advance if Relief is Not
Given.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Madison Utility service in Wiscon-
sin is being seriously menaced by the
continuance of the coal strike, accord
ing to representations made today TO
the state railroad commission by J. 4.
Cadby, secretary of the Wisconsin
Utilities association, who urged imme-
diate relief from the coal shortage and
high prices to relieve the utilities from
the need for asking increased rates.
Mr.. Cadby told members of the COM
mission that continuance of the strife
not only endangers utility service, but
also all other branches of industry de-
pending upon coal. He said that I'M
less action was taken coal panic
would result this winter because of the
shortage of supply available to Wis
consin householders.
Report made to the utilities associa-
ton, after comprehensive survey
shows that, companies have only a
three or four weeks coal supply avail
able and that additional supplies must
be received within the next week or
utility service may have to be discon-
tinued.

Chicago expressing hope
for rush of ballots the rest of the

vote of railway employees is being
tabulated today, admitted disappoint-
ment over the volume of returns In
the nationwide referendum of shop
men and other rail workers on the
question of a walkout in protest
against wage cuts ordered by the U. S.
railroad labor board. Reports on the
balloting at the Burnside shops of the
Illinois Central were to the effect that
the boilermakers there had voted over
whelmingly against strike. Anti
strike sentiment among the Burnside
boilermakers was said to be almost
unanimous.

board, to the nine union chiefs who
informed the board that strike would
be authorized >if the referendum IA
vored suspension of work on the

Indianapolis, Ind-World war vet
Grams, who still are suffering from
wounds or disability incident to their
service, have entered a protest against
the use Of their name to fight adjusted
compensation, national headquarters of
the American Legion announced here
today upon receipt of information
from the disabled American veterans
organization.
For the solemn purpose of correct
ing rank injustice to the disabled"
Robert M. Smyth, of Cincinnati, ma

President Harding (for which they
probably we're we'll paid) and had their

are against a bonus"
Smyth also quoted from his organi-

the payment of a bonus will not pre-

crippled and manned veterans, and
taking care of the war cripples ought
not to delay nor prevent paying just
compensation to all ex-service men"

CLOGS WHEELSOF
MARRIAGE MILL =
Edward LaPoint Puts an
End to Daughters We'd
ding Plans.
JUST TOO YOUNG
Irate Father Hats Daughter,
Gladys LaPoint, and Frank
Hinderholtz as They EIope.

An irate Kenosha father clogged up
the machinery of Cupid's marriage
mill'' at Waukegan this morning when
his interference put sudden end to
the marriage plans of Miss Gladys La
Point, 26 North Main street, Kenosha,
and Frank Hinderholtz of Racine, just
as they were securing marriage IL
cense in the office of the county clerk
there The father was Policeman Ed.
LaPoint, who later sent Detective
Rock and Secretary of Police Meiss-
ner to Waukegan to bring his daugh-
ter and her sutton back to Kenosha.
The father maintains that his daugh-
ter is too young to get married and
that this is the chief basis of his OPP
position to the nuptials.
Left Kenosha Today.
The young couple left Kenosha just
after o'clock this morning for Wau-
kegan. The parents learned of the
elopement shortly afterwards and the
telephone wires were kept hot as they
trailed the pair. The police at Wau-
kegan were notified to be on the lookout
and to halt the wedding until Kenosha
authorities could arrive in that city.
! A Waukegan policeman hurried to
the county clerks oMice and was just
in time to take the young prospective
bride and bridegroom into custody to
be held pending the arrival Of the Ke-
noshans. For want of any other place,
the two were taken to the police office,
where they protested vigorously
against being held.
Officers Arrive Later.
The Kenosha officers arrived short
time later and put an immediate end
to the wedding plans of the clippers.
They brought both of them back to
Kenosha and turned them over to the
waiting father. The daughter, dis
appointed over the unfortunate out
come of the affair, asserts her love for
Hinderholtz but has agreed to abide
by her fathers decision.
The halted wedding is one of mum
Der which have taken place recently in
Waukegan. Considerable opposition
has arisen to the leniency with which
marriage licenses are issued at the
Illinois Gretna Green and this case with
several others will probably feature in
the movement which is under way
there to bring change in the marriage
laws of the state.
