ment departments in Washington have
paid a total of $18,22019 under the Dis
trict gasoline tax law on automobiles,

trict tax when the tax is included as

SCORES NEEDLESS
DELAY IN TRIALS
High Court DenounCes END
less Appeals" for Hating
Criminal Prosecutions.

Prolonged appeals designed to recover
evidence said to have been illegally OBJ
tainad, and the consequent delay Of
criminal prosecutions were sharply con-
demned by the Supreme Court yesterday
IN its consideration of a New. York
prohibition case.
In unsparing language the court
through Justices Brandeis, McReynoldS
and Van Devanter denounced methods
of preventing trial in criminal cases by
the raising of such issues. The court
asserted that the rights OF the defendant
would be amply protected after trial
should any evidence, Illegally obtained,
be used against him.
Unless the practice of endless appeals
was ended, the justices said it would be
impossible to have prompt justice, be-
cause almost inteTminable delay could
be obtained by eXhauSting all possible
avenues OF appeal.
The case was brought before the
court by J. Robert Cogen, whose place
of business in New York City was raided
by prohibition agents in May, 1927.
Cogen never has gone to trial and after
his indictment on prohibition con-
Spiracy charge sought to suppress the
use as evidence OF papers taken from
him at the time of his arrest. He
claimed that they had been illegally
seized.
To stamp its disapproval upon the
practice, the court excused arguments
by the Government counsel, indicating
that on an early opinion day the appeal
would be dismissed and Cogen be forced
to go to trial on the conspiracy charge.

Location of a proposed $4,000, 900
building project of the Western Electric
Co. in or near Washington instead of
on site reported to be under con-
Sideration in Baltimore, is urged by H.
u. Odenthal, executive secretary of the
City Club in letter to w. F. Hosford,
vice president of the company.
The City Club executive points to the
facts that Washington is hub for
water and rail transportation facilities
between the North, South, East and
West; that there are available sites
near Warrington and that there is a
higher class of labor here than else
where. He cited also plans for the
first class airport on Gravelly Point.

it gives true picture of the relative popu-
larity Of the various New York newspapers among

the findings of this survey of more than ordinary
value

ters were sent to every tenant in every apartment
house handled by these agents. The list used,
therefore, was not hand-picked, selected list. It
was an impartial and complete list

proportion-fil1ed in and returned the question
naire.
The annual rentals ranged from $720 for single
room to $4,000 for maintenance of cooperative
apartments. This means that most of the families
included in the investigation were families with
annual incomes Of $4,000 or more a year.

 ELECTION DATE:
q COMMERCIAL CULB OF FAIR BANKS ASKS FOR LOCAL CO.,
 OPERATION IN CHANGES

Advancing the date of Territorial elections one month, also the same with regard to the meeting of the Territorial Legislature, is proposed in communication directed to the Seward Chamber of Commerce from the Fairbanks Commercial Club.
 The letter:
 Seward Chamber O. Commerce
 Gentlemen:
 This organization has been asked to sponsor 8 movement to advance the date of general elections in the Territory 30 days and advance the date of converting of the Legislature 30 days with the idea if gener- al e!auv,ons were held in September ins,ead of November many more voters would be able to participate therein. If sessions of the Legisla- ture commenced in February in stead of March there would be less interference with private affairs of cur Legislators as the session would be over and not interfere with their bring work.
 Believing that this change would benefit most of us and harm no |one,, we would like your co-opera- tion and would suggest that repre- sentatives and Senators for your Division be asked to support the resolution at Juneau and that our delegate be asked to introduce the Bill in Congress to amend Sections 5 and 6 of our Organic Act accord ;ngly
 If there is any reason why you cannot give this matter your ful' support. please advise us.

WORLD EVENTS BY TELEPHONE

Most of us do not appreciate the
great work of the telephone in handl-
ing important events, and it's share in
news dissemination.
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company, which covers the Republi-
can and Democratic convention cities,
already has skilled workers busy con-
structing and rearranging long dis
lance lines to handle the increased de-
mands for service that will result
from the two national political con-
ventions to be held at Houston and
Kansas City in June.
The Kansas City convention will re-
quire about 80 new circuits to ade-
quately handle the calls. Work is
being done on the same scale for the
Houston convention.
We are obliged to the telephone for
much of the news we receive, imme-
diately on its happening, whether it
be sporting events or presidential
nominations. 1t has become so inte-
grail a part of modern business and
private life that we cannot imagine
the difficulties which would ensue
were we to be suddenly without it.

FLOWERS TO PLANT IN
THE BACKYARD GARDEN

H. B. Dorner, chief in Horticulture,
University of Illinois, advised the
short course class in horticulture at
University Farm to acquire some
thing of the spirit of the times in
which grandmother worked in the
garden. His subject was the "Old-
Fashioned Flower Garden" in which,
he said, grandmother used everything
she could get by exchange and pro-
duced a riot of color.
Professor DOrner said that flow
ers and vegetables could be combined
to advantage. The ANIMALS had an
established place in the old garden
and should never be neglected. The
zinnia should be a staple, for it will
stand dry weather and hard knocks
generally, and is unsurpassed as a
cut flower. He recommended among
other varieties the Colossal and the
dahlia flower zinnia, and advised
the class to grow them in separate
colors-"the colors you want
Other plants recommended for the
new old-fashioned garden were the
marigolds-big and little, the stock
lowered form of delphinium the
double variety of bachelor buttons Or
corn flowers sown in the fall, the
lupin, salpiglossis, scabiosa, and a
few coxcombs and amaranths. There
should be places also for four
o'clock, petunias, and verbenas, which
are not so good for cut flowers but
which add color and beauty.
Still other plants worthy of use
were the japanese morning glory, the
sweet pea, the climbing nasturtium,
baby breath, candytuft, and annual
phlox Of California poppies, the tulip
poppy was to be preferred for its
beautiful lemon yellow color and the
fact that it would keep in water four
or five days.
New varieties of cosmos should
supplant the old type, he said. The
yellow cosmos can be grown to adj
vantage only under glass.

SAM v. WARNER
TO LEAVE OLIVIA

The Olivia friends of Sam Warner
and family will regret to learn that
the Warner family intend to leave
Olivia in the near future. They have
decided to move to Litchfield where
Mr.. Warner will find it more conven-
lent in his work as deputy game war;
den, and because of added response
bilities which he is about to assume
as an employee of the Game & Fish
department.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner have resided
in Olivia for about twenty years and
have been active during all those
years in all civic and social move
ments that had for their object the
betterment of the community. They
will be missed from the social and
business circles of Olivia and from
community activities, but we can COM
mend them to the citizens of Itch
field as people who will measure up
to the highest standard of citizenship.
Mr.. Warner has not sold his home
there and the hope is expressed that
they may return to Olivia before very
long.-Olivia Times.

OWNER OF VALHAILA
SIZES FOR INSURANCE

A friendly suit to settle the ques-
ton of whether or not the Slayton
Township Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Slayton is liable in the
sum of $4,000 for insurance on the
Valhalla pavilion at Lake Shetek
which was destroyed by fire, was fill
ed last week by o. H. Beal, who own
ed the resort.
Setting forth his reasons why the
company should be required to pay
the $4,000, Mr.. Beal enumerates
among other things, that the policy
was assigned to one James Staples
some two years ago, when the lat
ter made a loan on the resort, that
said assignment was accepted by the
Insurance company through its prop
er officials and that while notice of
an assessment of $1,000 was made to
Mr.. Beal, the assignee and holder of
the policy, Mr.. Staples, never receiv-
ed such notice.
