Over $16O Cleared
At Firemen's Benefit

More than $3.50 was cleared by the
Eastport Volunteer Fire Company as
its percentage OF the proceeds of The
Third Alarm" which was shown at
the Circle Playhouse on Monday and
Tuesday last.
Over sixteen hundred tickets were
sold to this thrilling movie" which
brought out record-breaking houses
on both nights that it was exhibited.
and. as the Circle management had
agreed to give the firemen ten per
cent. of every ticket sold, their share
netted a nice amount.
This amount has been added to the
fund to employ a regular chauffeur
for the Eastport Fire Company, in
stead Of depending upon volunteers
who cannot Re present at the fire
quarters at all times. Much elation
is felt in Eastport over the prospect
OF having a chauffeur to man the fire
apparatus in every emergency.

REPLACE CONSTITUTION
By The Associated Press,

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-, Apr. 19.--
A bill to repeal the constitution of
Missouri and all statute law. and sub
stitute for them the ten command
ments and the League of Nations, was
introduced in the lower house of the
Missouri legislature during the ses-
sion just adjourned. The bill, how
ever, was not given serious considera-
tion. and was not even referred to a
committee by the speaker.
In explaining his action in intro
-ducing such a bill, Representative
Dal Swiers, Republican, of Christian
county, stated that it was for the pur-
pose of aiding the Democrats in their
apparent plan to change all the laws,
by changing them all at once
Another bill introduced was one
providing that all street cars be
equipped with automatic light on the
rear which would. show the word
"stop" when the car was not in mo-
ton. 1t got through the House but in
the Senate it was amended, the
amendment providing that it should
be in effect only during the total
eclipse of the sun and MOON
Another bill of unusual character
introduced in the lower house pro-
yided that no landlord could refuse to
rent to persons with children.

Ry The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Apr. l9.-In-
junction proceedings to shut off trad
ing in sugar futures. unless actual
ov nership or control of sugar are
shown, were instituted in New York
today by the Federal Government The
government bill, prepared under the
personal direction of Attorney-Gene-
raj Daugherty after consultation with
President Harding, asked the court TO
permanently prevent the New York
coffee and sugar exchange from en-
tering into any transactions covering
the purchase Of sugar unless the peg
son purported TO make such sale has
in his possession or under his control
a supply of sugar adequate to ,1ect
the requirements OF such transac-
tion." This move was said to have
been undertaken by the government
to put stop to the orgy OF specula-
tion" which has driven up the price
of sugar to the consumer and which
during February enriched the pocket
books of brokers by $9OO,O0O
Conspiracy Is Charged

and commerce. is charged, and off,
cials of the exchange and of the New
York coffee and sugar clearing house
association. against which the injunc-
Ion would be directed jointly with tho
exchange. are asked to appear in
court and answer the governments
allegation. if.i
sc, The court was advised in the bill
that the exchange and the clearing
house association served no legitimate
or useful purpose in the marketing in
interstate and retail sugar dealing.
but that it exists only as a means OF
contracting and speculating"
Speculative Prices Set
AS result, it was added, price
levels are established which are
wholly speculative and artificial"
The proceedings are the most
sweeping ever instituted by the Fed
aral Government in its efforts to curb
speculation in the necessities of life.
Although the action today was a
civil suit, Assistant Attorney-Gene
Seymour announced that the govern
ment also was. considering criminal
procedure under the general law.
May Declare Contracts Invalid
Mr.. Seymour declared that the gov
ernment's injunction probably would
request the court to declare invalid
the individual contracts involved i'm
the speculation complained of and is
sue an order preventing settlement
between traders.
The hearing on the governments
application for a temporary injunc-
ton will be held April 30 unless a
