"You mean to fight and you're going to
fight, is that it2'
"Yes."
Under the circumstances, Richmond said
cuttingly, speaking as the campaign manager

the back of chair Miss Durane, her chin up
swept from the Office. Richmond paused to
survey the broad-shouldered young man who
stood with feet planted far apart. jaw thrust
aggressively forward. There was no rage in
Richmond's eyes. He was sizing up the young
lawyer as d pugilist sizes up an opponent at
the sound of the gong

niece of superior judge before whom must

to which your political machine has ensnared

"And you'd be meeting some influential peo-
pie in connection with the campaign. Miss
Durane, for instance, is the niece of Midwick
Durane, the superior judge. Her parents are
dead and she makes her home with the judge"
Sudden decision crystallzed on Klays fea-
lures. "Very well, then" he said perhaps
it would be best for me to tell you just why

The young woman's blue eyes were no

CARTER COAL SUIT
MAY Be OCT. A
Attorneys Agree in Request
to D. c. Supreme Court
to Advance Date.

The injunction suit Of James w.
Carter, president Of the Carter Coal
Co. of this city, to restrain applica-
ton of the Guffey bituminous coal
control act to his company will be
tried October IA If a motion filed yes
terday in District Supreme Court is
granted.
The Carter suit was the first chal-
lenge to the constitutionality OF the
Guffey act and was entered "a hours
after President Roosevelt had signed
the bill.
Attorneys William D. Whitney and
Richard Wilmer. who are associated
with Frederick H. Wood, chief coun-
sci in the case. moved that the hear
ing, which ordinarily would not begin
for several months, be advanced on
the calendar. BY agreement with
Government counsel. their motion
will come before Chief Justice Alfred
A. Wheat Wednesday.
Coupled with the motion was q re-
ply to the economic argument sent out
b. the Government in its answer to
the injunction petition. In it Carter
admitted a number Of factual allie
cations concerning production, dis
tribution and consumption of bitumi-
nous coal, but denied their relevancy
to the case. He conceded that most
coal business is conducted In inter-
state commerce: that it is important
that marketing and distribution of
coal be undisturbed and that there is
competition for markets among the
various producing areas.

CAPPER PREDICTS
DRY LAWS RETURN
Next Session Will See New
Effort to Ban Liquor in
D. c., He Says.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA. Kans., October 5.-Sena-
tor Arthur Capper, long a leader
among the Nations drys, predicted
tonight the country will swing back
to prohibition.
Reaction has set in against condi-
tions that have developed since re-
peal" said the veteran lawmaker and
publisher of State that has had
constitutional prohibition for 54 years.
There's no denying that drinking
and drunkenness have increased, au-
tomobile accident tolls have mounted
and many forms Of crime increased
since the liquor traffic was re-estab-
lished.
las a result the prohibition move
ment is gaining new force, and it is
only matter of time until the Nation
re-enacts a program of prohibition. "
He said he expected congressional
drys to make another effort at the
next session to pass a bill prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants in the District of Columbia
They failed In the last session.
Washington, our National Capital,
is wet city now" he said. There
are almost 1000 licensed places SELL
ing liquor there"
Senator Capper looks upon Kansas
as the "unsurrenderino" stronohoId of
the dry cause.
There's no doubt how Kansas
feels" he said, recalling the referen-
dunn on State prohibition repeal last
November that resulted in an over
whelming dry victory.
He believes, however, that the Fed
eral Government has not done all it
could to protect Kansas and other dry
States.
