COUNTY LOSES TEST CASE

The Minnesota supreme court
handed down an important decision
on Nov. IL, in which the district
court of Lincoln county was reversed
in the case of the state against Lin
coin county, to compel the county to
levy taxes to complete the test of
cattle in the county for tuberculosis.
The county board had in 1924 en-
tered into a contract with the State
Livestock Sanitary board, under the
laws of 1923, providing for the area
test for tuberculosis eradication, and
the first test was made and complet-
ed. In the meantime the legislature
amended the law in 1925 so that
no compensation is now provided for
the owners of steers condemned. On
this basis the Lincoln county board
refused to appropriate money for the
re-tests, claiming that the change in
THE law cancelled the contract. The
state brought mandamus suit to COM
pei the county to complete the con-
tract and the lower court found for
the county. This decision the SUI
preme court has now reversed.
In view of the fact that the area
test for T. B. eradication has been
made in many Minnesota counties,
and that many others have entered
into contracts to have the test made
as soon as funds are available, this
decision is of widespread interest.
The supreme court holds that, un-
der the plan of eradicating tubercu-
losis, the county is governmental
agency required to carry out the
legislation which is to protect pub
lie health and promote public well
fare; that the contract between the
State Livestock Sanitary board and
the county is subject to such chang
es and alterations as the legislature
may see fit to thereafter make, and
that THE county has no such prophet
airy interests in the subject matter of
the contract that it can invoke the
constitutional protection against i'm
pairment of contracts, either on its
own behalf or in behalf of it's cattle
owners, because of the changes
wroght by Chapter 230 Laws of 1925,
enacted after Lincoln county had en-
tered into this contract.
The supreme court also dismissed
Lue CouHty dppedl queSIloHlHS Cle
sufficiency of the petitions for the
making of the contract, and thereby
sustained the lower court in that
respect
Under this decision the Livestock
Sanitary board will now be required
to carry out the contract and make
such tests of cattle in the county un.
til tuberculosis is eradicated there.

HERO OF THE SEA RESIGNS COMMAND
Captain Irvine Of Berengaria
 Will Retire

New York, Aug. GRl-"The Ra- Jah' Of the Cunard line, Captain W. R. D. Irvine, R. N. R., commander of the Berengaria, has resigned be- cause of ill-health. He plans to spend the rest of his days in south ern France with his American wife.
 Captain Irvine, 56 years old and a hero of the World war, earned his regal nickname because of his un- wavering enforcement Of authority under all circumstances. He once held the Berengaria in quarantine for 36 hours during a gale, despite the fact that J. J. Morgan was a passenger and anxious to get to New York, and that Sir Ashley Sparks, also a passenger, had arranged dance for 200 guests aboard the liner shortly after the hour. she was scheduled to dock.
 When the Laconia went down off the Irish coast in 1917, Captain IT, vine succeeded in saving all but three of his 291 passengers and crew. He left his ship last and was picked up from the sea unconscious. When he revived, crowds on the shore were cheering him.
 Whats the noise?" he inquired, and when told it was applause for him, replied, "Nonsense!"

Three Florida Rum Run- ners Attack Federal Men and Meet Death-Govt. Closing in on Everglades Strongholds.

Homestead, Fla, Aug. 6 R,- Inree men rode out of Florida S everglades yesterday in pursuit of seven federal prohibition agents who were returning to Miami after q series of liquor raids and in the pitched battle that followed, all three lost their lives.
 Long known as a holdout for rum runners. bootleggers and outlaw gangs, the low-lying swamps and wide plains of saw grass which make up the lower peninsula have present. ed an impenetrable barrier against interference by the law.
 In the last two years the illegal liquor traffic has gained a firm hold in the everglades. "Hammocks" or small high and dry tracts within the swamps have proven ideal spots for secret stills.
 Yesterday, seven federal prohibit ton agents came upon three stills near the Cape Sable road, which runs from Homestead through Roy al Palm park and south to the tip of the peninsula.
 The stills were destroyed and the officers started for Homestead and Miami in two automobiles. when a third automobile carrying three men, supposedly bootleggers, turned into the main road from one of the nu- merous uncharted trails leading into the swamps.
 The men who were afterward identified as M. P. Merritt, Clyde Parrish and J. A. Brinson all of Homestead opened fire on the off cers and in the resultant battle, all three were killed.
 Merritt was formerly constable Of the sixth district embracing Home stead and was recently removed from office by Governor John w. Martin. Parrish was the son of a former Homestead policeman.
 It was in this same section of the everglades that the notorious Ashley gang, which for years preyed on small banks along the lower east coast, made it retreat. and attracted to its ranks outlaws from all sections of the state. All attempts by off cers 10 penetrate the swamps were fruitless, and only when surrounded on an open road was the gang exter- minated.

 About 600 women are now em- ployed at Omaha headquarters. one third of them stenographers and comptometer operators.
 The normal replacement of wom- en employees is said to be large due to the fact that many marry each year or leave for other reasons leading to the belief that women workers will be cut to a nominal figure in a few years.
