BRIDGE WORK
PROGRESSING
Recent Court Decision
Does Not Affect
Construction

Work On the international bridge,
which will connect Brownsville and
Matamoros, is proceeding rapidly,
and the false work has already been
completed TO beyond the point where
IL was washed away during the Sep
TENDER high water. Water in the
river is about normal, and the on
tractors expect no further difficulty
in connection with the construction
work.
The decision handed down by the
state supreme court en- December 10.
in connection with the case brought
BY q. G.. Malott against the City Of
Brownsville will have no material
effect, attorneys for the bridge COM
pany state. The supreme court held
that the lower court had no power to
pass upon the validity Of the ordi-
nance granting the Gateway Bridge
company the privilege Of using a GER
tain street, and that the plaintiff
had shown no injury or threatened
injury.
One case remains to be disposed
Of, that of the Brownsville and Mata-
moros Municipal Bridge company vs..
the Gateway Bridge company. q suit
for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANT company from constructing
the bridge. The civil district court
refused TO grant the injunction and
an appeal was taken to the Civil
Court of Appeals at San Antonio.
Work on the bridge was halted in
September by the war department
when il was ascertained that the
structure would pass over approx
--4-7-- ON E~4 -Au.. -
longing TO the Fort Brown military
reservation. The privilege TO build
over this ground was finally granted
by the war department. and the
bridge company was required to file
a bond in the amount Of $4,000,
which has been accepted by the de-
partment. The requirements Of the
department were that no piers were
to be built upon the land belonging
to the military reservation and the
bridge company will undertake all
necessary bank protection work at
that point as the federal engineers
may designate.
Decision Of the Court
Following is the tex. Of the de-
cision of the supreme court on the
motion or a rehearing in the case
Of g. G.. Malott vs.. the City Of
Brownsville wherein the plaintiff at
tackled the validity Of the ordinance
granting the Gateway Bridge COM
pany the privilege of using a certain
street for a bridge approach:
upon the original hearing we re-
ported this case for ~affirmance OF
the judgment OF the Court of Civil
Appeals. The suit was one for in
junction by plaintiff in error, in
volving the validity Of an ordinance
of the defendant in error, City of
Brownsville. The trial court and the
Court Of Civil Appeals both held the
ordinance TO be valid, and the Court
Of Civil Appeals further denied the
injunction for the want of threat
cred injury to plaintiff in error. We
affirmed the judgment, but express
ly declined Il put the affirmance
upon the ground Of the validity OF
the ordinance. but rather put il upon
the ground that plaintiff had shown
no equity. We treated the holding OF
both courts that the ordinance was
valid merely as one Of the reasons
for refusing the relief sought.
"But. the motion for rehearinI
calls our attention to the fact that
the trial court actually rendered a

Says Artificial Stone
Ideal Non-Skid Paving

PARIS-F-Non-skid paving that
is cheap and durable is more seri-
ously sought after than the Foun-
tain Of Youth. French engineers
have tried nearly everything here
and or test roads in the country
without yet finding what they want
but they have hopes a new artificial
"stone" being tested in the streets
Of Nice will fill the bill.
These yellowish compost ! o n
stones. Q by 4 1-2 by 3 inches. are
laid ~diagonally. like cobblestones,
but with the joints cemented with a
tar mixture.
The life Of the stone pavement Is
estimated at 35 years and expert
ments showed the artificial blocks
are more durable than cobblestones
and, above all, wear down without
becoming slick and slippery.
The cost in Frnace is given as
about $2.S5 a square yard.

PADLOCKS FOR
CHICAGO CLUBS
ARE LOOMING

CHICAGO, Oct II P-Unless Chi
cago night clubs, hotels and cafes
ban hip liquor drinking by their pat
rons they will be padlocked for one
year by federal injunction. Prohibi-
ton Administrator E. C. YellowIey
warned tonight.
Administrator Yellowley's warning
was made following the decision OF
the United States supreme court re-
fusing to pass on the test case
brought by proprietors of the Moulin
Rouge and Friars' Inn, two of Chi
cago's best known downtown cabareJs,
which have been padlocked by federal
Injunction because they served ice and
ginger ale to their patrons and did
not take steps to prevent them from
drinking intoxicating liquor.
The action Of the high court, Mr..
Yellowley said, gave prohibition au-
thorities the strongest weapon they
have ever had to enforce the Volstead
lew, the action making it imperative
that cafe, hotel and night club own
ers prevent drinking of intoxicanta
absolutely"
Mr.. YelloWley said that the action
made observation evidence" suffi-
cicnt to warrant convictions. RAIDS
no longer will be necessary, he said.
When any federal agent notices
drinking by patrons an injunction
and the subsequent one year paddock
will follow.

BEHIND PAVING
HIGHWAY NO. 50

The Douglas Chamber of Commerce
and Mines last night appointed COM
mlttee OF three. members to study the
Ban lead highway situation with re-
gard to improvements projected by the
state highway commission east of
Douglas in order that the chamber
may urge completion of the proposed
improvements before the end of this
year
With highway engineers on the
ground surveying several proposed
routes for the new road, the chamber
decided it would be well to get
acquainted with the engineers in order
to ascertain the merits of the various
routes
John B. Hart, county commissioner
and member of the chamber, explained
that $215,000 had been appropriated for
the Banl1head highway easo of Doug
las, to be spent this year, part for the
preparation of a 26-mile stretch i'm
mediately east OF the city in order
that it may be in condition for paving
under next years budget.
Hart pointed out that should the
preparation of the road be delayed
until next spring, the 1923 budget meet
ing, in July, might come around be-
fore the work was concluded. Then,
there was a possibility that the COM
mission might fail to budget funds for
paving on the grounds that the high
way was not ready for it.
President George E. Jackson ap-
pointed j. P. Sexton, Alfred Paul and
Hart as the road committee Their
duty will be to faniliarize themselves
with the situation in order that the
road preparation Limay be rushed to
completion and that bard paving may
not be delayed when next years work
is undertaken.

ANNUAL SHO "
TO Have SEVEN
ACTS OR MORE

Seven different organizations in the
city have signed up to stage an act
in the annual competitive vaudeville
show to be presented at the Grand
| theatre under the auspices of the
Business and Professional Women's
club on November 9.
But one or two more organizations
are needed to fill out the program
which, those In charge agree should
not contain more than ten acts. This
show has been very popular in past
years and has displayed some startling
talent
The money taken in through ticket
sales is used by the Business and Pro-

curing higher educational advantages
for deserving girls. Each year they
send two girls to Tempe Teachers col
lege. This year they have three in
that school and the money that is
realized from the competitive vaude-
vile all goes to swell the fund for this
work

for the big annual show are Camp
Jones twenty fifth infantry; Kiwanis
club, Gloom Chasers (high school
girls organization) Music club, Pirtle-
vile school twill present an Indian
pageant); The Business and Profess
sional Women's club and it is rumored
that the Alumni association is also
working on an act.
A number of the acts this year will
be very good indeed if the amount OF

ton for several organizations have
been having reaearsals since the first

CINCINNATI, Oct. II (P)-Tempor-
airy insanity will be George Remus'

October 81, as, the date for hearing
an insanity plea if the plea was filed
by Attorney Elston by noon tomorrow.

Eden park here an hour before their
divorce suits were TO be heard in do
nestle relations court. He charged his
wife and Franklin L. Dodge, Jr., for
raer prohibition agent, had conspired
to rob him of his fortune and that
Mrs. Remus sought to divorce him to
marry Dodge.
To substantiate his plea of temper
airy insanity Remus will seek deposit
tons which he told Judge Shook would
prove that Dodge and Mrs. Remus
had conspired against his life and llir-
ed gunner to kill him.
