abide by a decision of the voters in an
other referendum on the liquor ques-

been a dry. Furthermore, the voters
are asking why it is necessary to nave
a third referendum on the subject.
Galen is a typical WeSterner and has
been a wonderful horseman. Walsh
has the advantage of the depressed
business conditions and the general
Democratic trend this year. He has a

votes to him.
Senator Borah of Idaho, it had been
reported, would go into Montana to
speak for Senator Walsh, although
Borah is a Republican. But Mr.. Borah,
it now appears, is going to do no such
thing. Mr.. Borah has never yet left
the party reservation when 1t comes to

out in Idaho he is still a Republican.

packing and closely related lines.
Justice Jennings Bailey stated

tention that changing conditions IN
the last ten years have made m0dift-
cation necessary after denying the
motion Of the American National
Livestock association and the Nation
al wool growers to intervene. They

port Of the meat packers.
Frank J. Hogan, counsel for the

store groups and changes tn d1strt-
button Of food products had elinin-
ated all possibility Of food monopoly
by the packers. He contended Il WAS
in the public interest to allow the
meat hackers to sell meat at retail.
Hogan said profits Of the packers had
been reduced to such . point BY
limitations imposed upon them that
their business stability might be en-
dangered unless the notifications
were allowed.
Government counsel replied co1di-

POLICE STATION
FLOODED BY Rain.
Rescue lodgers From Drowning
as Quarters Are Inundated:
Pavement Damaged

City police had to get busy last
night and save six dodgers and
suspects from drowning in the city
Jail.
AS a result of the heavy rain, the
city hall basement, where the police
have their quarters, was flooded. In
addition, the flood which poured
down Thayer avenue undermined the
ledge Of alley paving along the hall
and dropped 1t into the steam pipe
ditch which is connecting the new
courthouse with the central heating
plant.
The flood was due to the earth
banked up OH Thayer avenue while
workmen for Frank Grambs, the con-
tractor, are laying the steam pipe up
the city hall alley. This bank *
tended out into the middle of the
avenue and diverted the water flow
ing off Sixth street and down T1aayer
into the steps leading into the police
quarters.

gre and the floor of the police office

and Cleveland were kept busy sweep
ing out the flood to the drains.
Meanwhile Contractor Grambs was
vainly sought by telephone. 50 the
police cut an opening in the banked
earth to allow the street flood to pass.
The water then passed into the ditch
and washed the earth out from un-
der the ledge of paving left along the
hall when the ditch was cut.
This morning workmen for the con-
tractor were engaged in shoveling out
of the ditch the ground they had re-
moved last week.
Police headquarters still were
draining off the residue Of the flood
at 8 o'clock this morning. Had the
patrolmen all been out on the street.
as they sometimes are, the flood
would have filled the quarters In q

Market

New York, Oct. 7.-REThe New
York Stock Exchange has declared
war N the bear party" which has
carried on q campaign Of selling raids
during the last few weeks.
The declaration Of war took the
form Of a warning that brokers risk
disciplinary action for selling or as
sisting in the sale Of securities for
the purpose Of bringing about q con-
Gition Of decentralization In which
prices do not fairly reflect market
values"
The purpose Of the move to put an
end to reckless selling campaigns,
Wall Street operators said, would be
to discourage short selling Of all
kinds, although the business conduct
committee Of the exchange made 1t
plain 1t was only concerned with
bear raiding."
AZ the first step iE the campaign,
ths conduct committee called several
brokers before it and questioned them
ut length regarding recent operations.
The penalty for trading operations
which have the effect Of demOraliz-
ing the market ordinarily Is suspen-
sion Of membership, although the ex-
change authorities have the power to
order expulsion.
