it was brought out that the railroad is
getting a constantly growing volume

struction of fountain and camp

unsightly things. His suggestion met
with much approval.

Mr. Klehm, J. w. Farris and other for
est officials over the district Monday

CAPTAIN KEEGAN REFUTES REPORT
Denies He Has Submitted Resignation; Expects to
 Make Decision Later

Admitting that he was contem- plating the presentation of his re- quest for retirement on pension, Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective bureau, today branded as untrue the story appearing in the Republican this morning in which he was said to have already submitted his resig- nation to the board of police com- missioners, to take effect June l.
 Captain Keegan said he had not yet decided when he would make his request for retirement. He 1nti- mated that it would probably not be for some time, and certainly not be at next Wednesdays meeting of the board of police commissioners.
 He pointed out that he had been a member of the police department for more than 38 years and that his petition for retirement, when it came, would be in the natural course of events and could hardly be con- sidered surprising. Captain Keegan was appointed patrolman in the department January Il, 1898 and was promoted to his present rank March 20, 1918. His retirement on pension would entitled him to half his present salary of $3,5o0 yearly.
 Reports persist that the next pro- motion to a captaincy in the depart ment will be that of Lieut.. Detec- tive Joseph Stevens, with the infer ence that Lieut.. Stevens will suc-

 INTERR0CATED

Tampa, Fla, March 27-(UP) - Interrogation of prospective jurors for the trial of three former po- licemen accused of Kidnapping three labor organizers promised today that the case will become trial of the legality of communism and 8 test of rights of free speech.
 The labor organizers, Joseph Shoemaker, Sam Rogers and Flu gene Poulnot, were arrested by Pa trolman c. A. Brown, John R. Bridges and c. w. Carlisle for ques- tioning about reports that they were communist agitators." When they were released, 8 masked mob seized them outside police head quarters.
 All were tarred and feathered and flogged. Shoemaker died of burns from boiling tar and the beating.
 Special Prosecutor J. Rex Far rior revealed the probable course of the case by asking each prospective juror: DO you believe in the right of free speech?"
 Defense Lawyer aPt Whitaker re- torted with the question to each ve- nireman: Do you feel that the right of free speech means the right of free speech means the right to talk for the destruction of the Constitution of the United States?"

receivership do not have to file re- turns or pay taxes under the act.
 Today's ruling was made by the court in the case of the Central In- dustrial Bank, which went into dis solution in the fall of 1884. The state tax commissioner ordered the banl: to pay the tax, and Attorney Alfred L. Finklestein took the matter up ct the short calendar session of supe- rior court today to seek instructions as to procedure.
 Judge McEvoy's ruling came from the bench, after the Central Indus trial Bank situation had been eX- plained by Attorney Finklestein. The judge ruled at once that no returns need be made and no taxes need DC paid.
 In his memorandum on The Elton hotel case, in which he ruled that corporation in receivership is not bound by the act, Judge McEvoy held that a concern in receivershlp cannot be held to be conducting reg ular business. Attorney Finklestein claimed that dissolved company is likewise not bound and was upheld by Judge McEvoy.
