BRIDEGROOM IS
STUCK ON RAILS
Rather Than Risk Life on
Night Before Wedding
Buntrock Jumps.
BUT ALL ENDS WELL

When John Buntrock, of, Liberty
vile, got stalled on the tracks at the
Selleck avenue crossing Monday night,
he did not stop long to decide which
was of most value, his life or his car.
Life was particularly sweet to him at
that moment for today is his wedding
day. So Buntrock leaped out and left
the car on the tracks. He had seen
the north bound limited train head
light far to the south and he did not
want to, take any chances. Buntrock
left the car and took to his heels.
The gateman at the crossing mar
yelled to see Dodge five passenger
touring car standing on the tracks.
He investigated hastily to see that
there was no one inside, found the
car empty and pushed it without loss
of time off the tracks,
The gateman called the police de-
partment and the Dodge car was towed
down town and parked in front of
the city hall. Later Buntrock came
up to claim his property.
He said that he had become greatly
confused when stalled upon the tracks
He was afraid he could not get the
car over and fled frightened from the
scene.
Buntrock said that it was his we'd
ding day today and that because of
that he was perhaps not as much on
the alert as usual except with regard
to the safe guarding of his life.

COURT SANCTIONS
/ BIG TOBACCO POOL
Sweeping Decision for Cooperative
Marketing Organizations
Handed Down Today.

Madison, Wis.-The Wisconsin SUI
preme court today upheld the validity
of the northern Wisconsin cooperative
tobacco pool, when it affirmed the de-
cision of Judge Edgar v. Werner,
Shawano, handed down in the Dane
county circuit court in the case of
the pool against the M. H. Bek
kedal Tobacco company, an indepen-
dent concern.
The court made permanent the
temporary injunction granted to the
pool by Judge Werner, in which the
lower court judge restrained the in
dependent company from soliciting or
buying leaf tobacco from\ members
under contract to the pool.
The court held that the tobacco pool
is not monopoly and that its con-
tracts are not in restraint of trade
The decision was unanimous and is
held to be sweeping victory for CO.
operative marketing organizations.
"Co-operative associations among
farmers are favored by our laws"
Justice Owen said in the courts
opinion. "Our statutes provide for
their organization. Such associations
cannot live when discomfort and dis
satisfaction is rife among their mem
bers. The defendants plan of cam
paign was we'll calculated to ruin the
plaintiff and bring about its dissolu-
ton, thereby relieving the defendants
from undesirable competition.
at is not to be denied that the pub
lie policy of the state with reference
to such combinations and agreements
is within control of the legislature
and that such public policy is sub
ject to legislative control and modi-
fication.
eve consider that the law is we'll
settled that one who maliciously in
duces another to breach of contract
of third person is liable to such
third person for damages resulting
from such breach"
The opinion discussed at length, the
question of cooperative marketing, de-
claring that the plan sprang from a
general relief that the present market
ing system is expensive and wasteful.
1t stated that all of the provisions
attacked by the tobacco company are
specifically authorized by the state
cooperative marketing law. The de-
cision did not pass directly on validity
of the cooperative law.

Taking the stand in his own defense
before a crowded committee room, the
former director entered a general, f"
sweeping and absolute denial" of
charges made by other witnesses re-
fecting on his honesty.
The denial was directed, the wit
ness said, against "every charge,

which in any manner whatsoever re-
fleets upon the honesty and integrity
of my official or personal conduct
while 1 occupied the Office of director
of war risk insurance or director of

Forbes then fatty denied the state
ment made before the committee by
DIR. Sawyer that he was dismissed by
President Harding for characterization
in connection with the sale of surplus
property at Perryville, Nd.
"Long before the president finally
decided to issue his second temporary
order, stopping the delivery of goods
at Perryville," the former director
said, 81 frankly told the president that
| could not continue to serve if Gen
eral Sawyer was to continue in my
office; and it became simply choice
between Sawyer and myself, and
relieved the president of any posi-
BILE embarrassment by rendering my
resignation"
At the outset, Mr.. Forbes read a
prepared statement in which he earn
estly requested the committee mem
bers to question him most searchingly
as to all matters within the scope of
the investigation and of the testi-
mony heretofore given and which he
was to give.
