BUILDERS MUST STAND TRIAL FOR
 FULLER WRECK
Court Overrules Plea That Tower Collapse Charges Are
 Insufficient.

Hartford, July o.-Demurrers to the complaint have been overruled by Judge John w. Banks of the superior court in the case charging manslaugh- ter against Edward J. Vaughn, George L. Mylchreest and Paul Sheldon, all of this city, in connection with the collapse of the Fuller Brush company water tower, March 3I, in which 10 persons were killed This means that the case will be prosecuted by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn in the fall Shipman & Goodwin are attorneys for Vaughn, Edward w. Broder for My1- cheest and Robinson, Robinson & Cole for Sheldon
 In his decision, Judge Banks says that the information is sufficient, thus answering the demurrers of the de- fendants. The information charges the removal of certain tension rods and channel irons wrich 1t is alleged were essential and necessary to sup port the water tank, as a result of which removal the tank fell and killed the 10 persons. In his memorandum of decision Judge Banks says:
 "In the last analysis the vital issue in this case IS whether the person or persons who caused these supports to be removed knew or should have known that they were essential and should have foreseen the fatal con sequences of their removal The in formation must allege facts from which such knowledge can legally be imputed to the accused in order that 1t may appear that a legal duty was imposed upon all the accused alike not to remove such supports It does so in my opinion

ALIEN SCHOOLS GET INJUNCTION
Honolulu Judge Grants Tem. porary Injunction in Edu-
 cational Matter.

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 25.-A temporary injunction restraining the territorial attorney general and the school department from enforcing the recent order curtailing the activities cf alien language schools was grant cd recently by Judge J. J. Banks, of the circuit court on the petition of the Palama Japanese language school.
 The Palama school, one of the many alien language schools. will be joined by several other institutions n it's efforts to have the regulation declared unconstitutional, it has been indicated
 The schools petition contended the regulation is unconstitutional or the ground that it violates the treaty between the United States and Jap. an which was concluded Nov. 22 1894, and provides that citizens or subjects of each "shall enjoy full md perfect protection for their per. sons and property"
 The petition further contended that the regulation violates the firth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States, and that il is "cOnfiscatory, unreasonable and oppressive" The regulations ex ceed the authority granted the school department by tha legislatnre in thai the regulation seeks to abolish the alien language schools. and not fo p.unIa+a fb9 Io, s.f. dered,. tho petition dec'ared Tn regulation provides for the grlaua elimination of tha kiudergartens, firsi .andtseeond eraa7 of the allan schools with the elimin ion Of the kinder gartens and first grades on Januar, 1, 1923. and tho abolition of the second grades o1 September l, 1923
 There are 14G voluntary schools unincorporated associations, and the schools gro owned and constructed by approximately 1000 persons. and the total property value is $250.000 with an aggregate enrolment of ap rroximately 20O00 pupils, according to tho petition.
 The temporary injunction. as is sued, restrained the territorial off cials from enforcing the regulation only insofar as the Palama school is concerned. Other alien language schools desiring to become. a party to the proceedings must obtain per. mission from the court, and if this permission is granted. the restrain. ing order also will apply to these schools, according 10 tho counsel for the Palama institution.
 Judge Banks did>not set date for the hearing of argument on the question of making the temporary injunction permanent.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Jan. 20. -
 The recent murder of William Pep per, an empleye of the Canadian Pa eific Steamship company, has arous- ed foreign and Japanese firms to the danger created by the readiness with which Japanese employees hay ing alleged grievances resort to these crimes and to demand that quick and stern justice be meted out to the perpetrators of them.
 In the case of Pepper, the com pany had decided to dispose Of a launch which it had been using to meet it's steamers outside the break water and the crew had been noti fled that ibss services would not be required after the end of the year but had been told that the usual Christmas bonus would be paid. Like wise members of the crew were told that an effort would be made to finc them other employment

THE LURE OF THE WOODS

Did you ever hear 'em calm you as you
lay there in your bed? Hear the big woods
out there with its million voices a-callin'
to you? Have you felt everything out there
a-tuggin' at your heart-strings-just sort
of pullin' you toward 'em? And have you
heard the wind whisperin' at your win
dow, just sort a-beggin' you to come out
there where everything was waitin' for
you?
Did you ever listen to the whistle of the
mountain quail and the yelp of lone
coyote just as the half light of day comes
a creepin' across the open spots, while it's
still dark beneath the big trees? Have you
ever watched the sun kiss the tops of those
big forest giants that rear their heads way
up there in the sky and who nod their heads
. to you in friendly fashion as the soft winds
play hide-and-seek amid their branches?
1t is when these things happen and
when you feel them stirring your blood
that the lure of the woods is on you. The
call of that little silvery brook out there
in the big woods is the sweetest voice
you know.
1t is then that you know that out there
in the open spaces, out there in the great
outdoors is where you belong 1t is the
greatest lure in the world and it calls rich
and poor alike.
1t is the pureness of it, untarnished by
the hand of man that makes it twice as
strong, twice as luring 1t is the force
and the power, the quiet strength and
the mystery of it that lures. 1t is that
mysterious power that it exerts over you
and seems to clutch at your very heart
strings that you can't shake off. 1t is the
lure of the woods--the call of the woods
and, once heard, always answered. The
power to hear this call and to heed it is
the greatest blessing God ever gave man.
-Ex.
