STATE Cement LAW
ENJOINED BY COURT
Enforcement of Florida Ruling
Hit by Secretary Hull as
Trade Deterrent.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27-A three
judge Federal court last night issued
a preliminary injunction against en-
forcement Of Florida cement in
spection law opponents described as
one which might lead to chaos for
American foreign trade.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
stepped into the case as friend of
the court to denounce the law, which
places an inspection fee of is cents
per 100 pounds on cement imported
into Florida from foreign countries.
However, in arguments before a
three-judge court, proponents claimed
the State was within constitutional
bounds in levying the fee and did
so to prevent the importation of in
ferior cement.
The court was composed of Judges
Rufus E. Foster of the United States
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex
ander Akerman of the Tampa ella. }
District Court and A. v. Longof the
Pensacola Fla) District Court.
The case was brought into Federal
Court by the Bimi Trading, Inc, q
New York cement importing firm,
after the Florida Supreme Court up
held the act. That opinion came
as result of action by the Portland
Cement Co. of Tampa, Fla. to compel
officials to enforce the law.
'The inference is irresistible" the
Governments brief said, that the
fee was not intended to raise revenue
to defray actual expenses, but, on
the contrary, is an attempt to lay
a virtual embargo on the importation
of cement"

physicians care today.
Burial in North.
Ray Dwyer, Fitchburg (Mass.) hotel
operator, a friend of Mr. Fellows for
many years, said the body would be
taken North tonight and that burial
would be in either Fitchburg or New
Britain, Conn.
Soon after Mr.. Fellows death, scores
OF messages began arriving, expressing
sorrow at the passing of the beloved
veteran of the big top.
They came from Mr. Fellows circus
friends, theatrical people and news
paper men throughout the country.
Mr. Fellows had met them on his
travels of more than 40 years as circus
press agent. A.
' He started in back in 1853, when
the Pawnee Bill Wild West Show
landed in Fitchburg one day without
a press agent. He was with Pawnee
Bill only short time before he joined
the Buffalo Bill show His next Job
was with Ringing Brothers, then
with Barnum & Bailey, and when the
two circuses were combined he re-
mained as chief press representative.
Almost Legendary.
Mr.. Fellows grew to be almost
q legendary figure in the world of the
circus and was always welcomed
warmly in newspaper Offices as he re-
+. turned year after year with new
stories of the spangled top.
His coming to town was generally
the signal for the unloosing of super
latives of the widest kind in the
imagination of reporters. As many
stories were printed about him. it
seemed, as about the big show itself.
He estimated he travelled approxi-
mately $4,000 miles year, sometimes
ahead of the show and sometimes
along with it. How many thousands
OF circus passes he distributed in
newspaper Offices during his career is
hard to guess.
Mr.. Fellows was born in Boston in
1871 and his family moved to Fitch
burg when he was a boy.
