SUPREME COURT
/. GIVES DECISION
IMPORTANT CASE
Constitutionality of Packers
and Stockyards' Act Is
Now Upheld.

WASHINGTON, May The SUI
preme Court, in decision handed
down today, holds that the Packers
and Stockyards' Act of last year is
constitutional.
Federal control over the stock
yards of the country. as asserted by
Congress in the Packers and Stock
yards Act of 1921, was challenged by
commission merchants and dealers at
the Chicago stockyards who contend
ed in suits separately instituted by
them that their business was strict
ly local as interstate commerce
ceased when the livestock in which
they deal, was delivered at the stock
yards. The government insisted,
however. that the law was a legiti-
mate exercise of the regulatory pow
ers of the Federal government over
interstate commerce.
The two cases were brought in
the United States District Court at
Chicago by Stafford Brothers and
others for the commission merchants.
and by James Z. Burton and others
for the traders. Injunctions were

Claimed Law Irksome
Both the commission merchants
and the traders contended the law
would be irksome. and would impose
upon them restrictions and publicity
which would materially interfere with
the conduct of their business. The
commission merchants explained that
they were paid by the shippers OF
livestock stipulated commission

not dependent upon the price at
which the livestock was sold. and
that their compensation was in no

Wnen ne pdSSeu AWAY
The former political leader had
spent the last 10 years of his life for
the most part in ireland.
STORY OF cRokER's CAREER
Under the leadership of Richard
Croker, Tammany Hall became one
Of the most efficient and successful
political machines that ever existed
in the United States. 1t was under
his leadership also that public con-
domination was visited upon the or
SANITATION in unstinted measure for
the alleged INSCRIPTIONS manner in
which it was conducted. For nine
years Cookers mastery hand abso-
utely dominated New York Citys
Democratic organization and during
that time Tammany was invariably
victorious at the polls
From a poor Irish immigrant boy,
none too we'll educated, he forced
himself by courage and self aggras
sion and by political tactics that sub
jected him to extreme public criticism
into the leadership first of one Of
New York City's gangs. then into MI
merous city offices, an deventuallv
into the leadership of Tammany Hall
where he came in contact and deal
ings with many of the leading finan-
ciers and business men of the city.
He was rewarded by the accumula-
ton OF great wealth. the source OF
which was never exactly known by
the public Where did he get it?"
was once the question of the hour
in New York; but Croker never an
swered it.
Spent Money LavishIy
He spent his wealth lavishly in
maintaining magm.ficently furnish
ed home in New York, a, stock farm
in New York state, and in purchas-
ing half interest in the famous
Belle Mead stock farm near Nash
Vile, Tenn. He invested hundreds
OF thousands of dollars in race horses
and in maintaining a racing stable in
England. While seeking and win
ming honors on the British turf he
first occupied fine home at Wan
tage, England. and afterward pur-
chased his present home at Glen
cairn, near Dublin, ireland. He also
maintained an establishment at Palm
Beach. Fla.
Croker was born at Black Rock,
near Cork, Ireland, November "a,
1841. His father came to America
when Richard was child. For a
few years the family lived in Gin
cinnati but soon returned to New
York
AS youth he was employed as
machinist lin locomotive building.
Some of the physical strength de-
veloped in this work he employed in
number of prize fights in which it
was reported that he was principally
victor. He became a member and
soon leader of band of unemployed
youths or political heelers known as
the Fourth Avenue Tunnel Gang.

YEARS BUDGET
FOR SALVATION
ARMY IS IN SIGHT

Prospects for the speedy attain
ment of the quota of $4,000 for home
service work of the Salvation Army
were somewhat brighter yesterday
when several hundred dollars in un-
solicited subscriptions was received
at campaign headquarters from pub
lie spirited citizens of Phoenix. One
of these contributions amounted to
$3.50.
The campaign committee has now
secured more than $1,000 in cash. and
it is believed that the drive can be
successfully concluded this week
Many pledges have been secured from
citizens who could not pay cash at
this time.
AS eliminating feature of the
campaign it is expected to hold a
big benefit dance at the Shrine audi
torium in the near future.
Men and women workers have been
increasingly active in pressing the
campaign, although the drive has
Jagged somewhat, according to Cam
paign Manager Perry Williams. on
account of a lack Of solicitors. Citi-
zens OF Phoenix are once more asked
to mail their contributions should no
solicitors approach them. Checks may
be mailed to the Salvation Army, in
care of the Phoenix chamber of
commerce.
Among the girl workers who have
been most successful. Mr.. Williams
stated yesterday. have been those
who have solicited subscriptions at
the state capitol. Other workers have
also done well. ana many large con-
tributions have been secured. The
following statement has been issued
from campaign headquarters, asking
the support of Phoenix for the Sal
walton Army:
The best investment one can
make is to invest in mankind The
Salvation Army is the clearing house
for human investments and every
dollar put into the fund means big
returns in human kindness. Just now
the Army needs some financial help
and it is the duty Of the citizens Of
Phoenix to help by subscriptions in
proportion to their ability. Everyone
is interested in doing something to
make lifes burdens a little lighter
for the weak and ill-equipped. 1t is
the meal supplied to the hungry. tlles
