CALL RESORT BARS UNFAIR Order Strike as Nonanion ers Are Employed at Court- The resorts at Lake Courtland beach were placed on the “unfair" list yesterday by the Bar. tenders' union owing to the management employing non-union waiters. Grand Organizer Hobb§ of the Interna- tional Bartenders’ union and President Jen- kins of the local union visited Lake Man- awa yesterday afternoon and called out three bartenders at the Kursaal on the Manhattan beach side of the lake and one uaton gook at the pavilion. Five union men were also called out at Courtand beach. An effort was made to induce Prof. Covalt and the members of his band to walk out at the lake, but Mr. Covalt sald he could not see his way clear to do so. Speaking of the trouble last evening, Or- wanizer Hobby sald if the management at the two resorts refused to settle further pressure would be brought to bear and if necessary it might be that the street car men would be called out. President Jenkins of the local Bartend- ers' union thought the trouble would be _mettled before Sunday, as H. Keymer & _'Son, the caterers at Lake Manawa, seemed inclined to meet the wishes of the union.

RESTS WITH CONVENTION Ohoios of Qounty Oandidates Left in Doubt h( Primary Results. STIFF FIGHT FOR TREASURER IN SIGHT s Post, mation for Superintendent ot Schools, Friends of J. P. Greenshlelds, while ad- mitting that trey were surprised at the remarkable trength shown by Emil Leftert at the city primarles on Saturday night, are not discouraged, but are even sanguine that when the convention meets on Tues- day tho nomination for county treasurer will fall to Greenshields. On the other hand, Emil Leffert and his supporters were yesterday feeling even more encour- aged than on Saturday. Returns from the country precincts, they clalm, show that Leffert developed greater strength than they had anticlpated throughout the county and they feel confident that nothing can now wrest the nomination from him. Neola township elected a delegation which is =aid to be favorable to Leffert, and the | delegations from Lewis, Hazel Dell, Rock- | ford and Silver Cresk are also claimed for | him. Greenshields, however, will have sev- | eral of the country precinct delegations, us will Consigney, making it a three-cornered fight. It is understood none or the coun- try delegations is instructed as to the treasurer. Tlere was some talk yesterday in the city of a dark horse being sprung at the last moment for the nomination in the event of Greenshields being unable to make It. Tight Race for Sheriff. Next to the nomination for treasurer, in- terest is centered in that for sheriff. Ed Blade will have the Knox township dele tion and McKee the Carson delegation, but what other strength they will develop is problematical. Captain Cousins, the pres- ent incumbent, who is seeking a renomina- tion for a third term, will undoubtedly make a good showing in the convention, but it is generally conceded the nomination will fall to Ed Canning, who will have as a starter, it is sald, fully two-thirds of the city delegates and probably more than one of the country precincts. With the exception of tnat for county superintendent of schools, there s not likely to be much contest for the other nominations, although tnere are several candidates for the two nominations for members of the Board of Bupervisors. County Superintendent McManus, who is seeking a third term, will, it is expected, meet with considerable opposition from the country precincts, which favor the nomina- tion of & man from the east end. It is sald also that many of the country pre- | ment CHURCH CELEBRATES OLD AGE Congregation Pastors to A First Five The First Congregational church of this city will celebrate Its semi-centennial anni- versary this week. Of the seven former padtors of the church five are expected to be present. On Friday evening there will be a ban- quet in the church parlors followed by a program of short addresses. Rev. G. G.

GRINNELL SCHOLARS GRADUATE, President Says Culture Must Both Up and Down to , ot rvice, GRINNBLL, Ia., June 7.—(Special Tele- gram,)—President Bradley preached elo- quently today to a graduating class of forty-three from Isalah 50, v, “The Lord God hath given me the tongue of learning that I should know how to apeak a word in season to him that is weary." In a discourse rich in historical refer- ence, scriptural allusions and inspiraton there was the central thought that all | scholarship and culture to be of service to the world must reach not only up, but down into the humblest home and uplift the soul weary with the performance of menfal dutles, even as Christ's heavenborn inspiration and sympathy were extended to the commonest of mortals. In his closing words to the class he exhorted them to let their education give them a kindlier re- gard for others and to hold as an obliga- tion to transmit to others the Inspiration thelr college course had brought to them. Personal Effort Essential. CEDAR FALLS, Ia., June 7.—(Special.)— President Searley delivered the baccalau- reate sermon to the graduates in, the class of 1908 this afternoon in the auditorium, berore an audience of 2,000 people. The speaker took for his subject “The Endow- of Power.” He devoted himself mainly to impressing on his hearers the need for individual effort to realize the highest degree of power possible to attain. PROHIBITION LAW IN DANGER Important Test Oase Taken to Federal Bupreme Court on Error, ALL HINGES ON C. 0. D, SALES Question is Raised Whether Express Company is Agent for Sefler or for Purehaser — lowa Judges Difter. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la, June 7.—(Special)— The most important test case taken from lowa to the United States supreme court for many years is the one in which Justice Brewer has just granted a writ of error in order that the decision of the lowa court may be reviewed at Washington immedi- ately. The case s vital to the lowa pro- hibitory liquor law. If the supreme court of the United States declares that the state court is wrong the door will be again opened for utter disregard of prohibition in lowa in substantially the same man- ner that was followed when the “original package saloons” were opened and main- tained. The writ of error was granted in the case of the Btate of lowa against Ameri- can Express company, a case coming from Tama county, where the agent of the ex- press company had recelved sundry quart bottles of intoxicating liquors which had been shipped to customers from Rock island, Iil, on each of which there was & C. 0. D. collection -charge in addition to the express charge. The liquors were selzed and condemned by a justice of the peace. Judge Burnham released the liquors and the state appealed. The state su- preme court reversed the district court and upheld the justice of the peac Why the Sale is Made. The question at issue, and it was the only question involved, was as to the character of stch a procoeding. Where were the sales actually made? Is a C. O. D. sale to be deemed an absolute sale or a ocontract of sale which is not complete until actual delivery to the buyer? ‘The case was extensively argusd by Attorney General Mullan for the state and by J. C. Willett and J. C. Cook for the express company. At the October term the opinion of the court was rendered. 1t was a curlam” decision, and it contains a most interesting statement of the issue involved and discloses, what is more important, that neither the state court nor other courts are at all unanimous as to what should be the rule. In regard to the cen- tral question the opinion stated: “It the question were res integra in this state a majority of the court, as now con- stituted, would be inclined to the view that under such a shipment, the carrier is the The personal help of God he explained as being the development which comes of con- stant and earnest application to study and the improvement of present opportunities for growth.

MICKEY PREACHES IN BLUFFS Alds Bromdivay Methodists to Cele- " Fifty-First Governor Mickey of Nebraska spoke at the Broadway Mothodist church last even- ing on “Character Buflding" the occas- sion being the fifty-first anniversary of the' chureh and Wesley bi-centennial Jubilee day | Governor. Mickey had, been announced to speak on “Christian Citizenship” but changed his subject by #pecial request. He | was greeted by an audlence which com- pletely filled the large auditofium. Governor Mickey was introduced by Col- onel C. G. Saunders who sald that six years ago Towa had elected as governor its great- est lay Methedist, Leslle M. Shaw and Nebraska and emulated that example | more recently by selecting its greatest lay Methodist J. H. Mickey as chlef ex-| ecutive. In opening Governor Mickey referred to the pleasure It gave him to greet an lowa audlence as he had been born in Jowa a fact of which he was proud, although he was recently proud of the fact that he! lived in Nebraska. | Speaking of heriditary influences, which | he said could not be overlooked, for as the tree is bent so the twig is inclired, Governor Mickey sald heridity largely shaped the destiny of the child. As an example he referred to the case of murderer Nieginfind | whom he visited in his cell a few weeks before his execution. In talking with the ! | condemned man he asked him for a history | of his past life and what influence had | led him to such an awful crime, The man's | answer was “At the age of fourteen I stood by the side of my father and saw him | shoot & man." Governor Mickey laid especial mress on the necessity of parents leading upright | lives as otherwise they could not expect | their children to make gcod men and | ‘women. | At the opening of the service the pastor | Rev. W. J, Caltee announced that since the rally meeting one year ago the chureh had succeeded In paying off §10,235 of its indebt- | edness. < | The members of the local lodges of the ' ‘Kulrhu of Pythias those of the uniform rank belng In full uniform. attended th wservices.

A W Local F2PIBIR agept of the buyer for the purpose of transportation, and of the seller for the purpose of retention of possession and col- lection of the purchase price, and that as a necessary corollary title passed to the buyer on delivery to the carriers.” Settled by Previous Decision. But the court states that the question is foreclosed by the decision in the case of Btate against United States Express com- pany, in 70th Iowa, where It was held that the oxore comhpeny is agent of the consignor orfty o (ransfer title to the property Wpon payment of the pur- chase price. That opinion, which was written by the late Judge Rothrock, has atood unquestioned until this case and some others like it appeared in the court, and the court says it would no doubt be challenged at this time but for the opinion of the United States supreme court in the Rhodes against lowa case. The lowa opin- lon has been sustained also in other states, Continuing the court said: “We are now asked to change the rule, to the end that our prohibltory laws, passed In the exercise of the police powers of the state, may be rendered less irksome, and express companies be aliowed not only to transport liquors into the state—which of course they may do—but also to collect the purchase price for the vendors. The bancful effect of such a decision 1s easily imagined. Everyone knows that an over- ruling of the oxpress company case would be followed by the establishment in every community of places for the sale of in- toxicants which would be quite as harmful and free from regulation and restraint as were the “original package saloons” be- fore the enactment of the Wilson bill. The purpose and intent of that act is quite generally understood. That it was not intended to interfere with legitimate acts of transportation of property between the states, nor to prevent a resident of this state from shipping liquors into 1t from another state for his own consumption and use, Is freely admitted. But it is just clear to our minds that ft was not the Intention of congress to authorize a carrier to engage not only in the transportation of property, but to act as an agent for the seller in completing the sale and col- lecting the purchase price. Question of Interstate Commerce. “Supported as we are In our position by respectable authority, fortiled by the thought that we are upholding the policy of this state toward the traffic in intox- fcants and, fully belleving that.the doc- trine announced, while not supported per- haps by the weight of judicial authority, is one which will do mueh good and no harm, we are constrained to adhere to it, on the broad ground of stare decisis, which is one of the safeguards of our judiclal system. This decision relieves us from the necessity of considering the other question as to whether or not the goods are pro- tected by reason of the commerce clause of the federal constitution. However, some of the members of the court would reach the same result, had it been found that the title to the property passed when delivered to the carrier in the state of Illinois. Con- ceding that to be true, they are of the opinfon that the transaction was not in any falr sense interstate commerce pro- tected by the constitution of the United States from state regulation. The express company in cffect engaged In the business of selling, through agents in this stais, at retall, Intoxicating liquors, shipped by it for that purpose from the state of Illi- nofs. This was a'mere device, as it scems to some of us, to evade the police laws of this commonwealth, and that the doe- trine of ‘original packages' or of freedom of Interstate commerce does not apply to & business of this character. In assuming to collect the purchase price and to hold possession until the price was pald, it was in no proper sense engaged in interstate commerce. Others of the court are of contrary opinion; they think the collec- tion of the purchase price was a mere incident to the transportation of goods and that the case should be ruled by Rhodes against Towa, In the event we wera con- strained to overrule the express company case in the 70th Iowa. Nome of us, as be- fore stated, are disposed to question that decision at this time. In view of this manifest wide difference of opinfon on the supreme bench of Iowa as to what should be the rule In regard to C. 0. D. shipments of liquor into Towa, the attorneys for the express company have taken the case to the supreme court of the United States, where they say they have a fair chance of securing a reversal of the cass, which would make a complete change in regard to the situation in the prohibition counties of Iowa. The lowa weather and crop bureau is gathering definite Information as to the acreage and condition of the crops in lowa. It w Intended that a report should be made that would show the actual condition on June 1, but the storms of the past two weeks seriously Interfered with this plan. The crop reporters commeneed to send in their reports a few days before June 1 and presumed upon falr weather for the completion of the work in hand. Then cafne the storms which stopped all work. The reports are therefore regarded as in- acurate. But even at best at this time they would be faulty as to the exact acreage of corn, for it Is recognized that in a large share of the state thero is still planting to be done if the weather holds §00d; but it is probable that a supple- mental report on acreage will be lssued some time during the month. All reports indicate that the acreage of corn will be much smaller than usual and that potatoes and other eimilar crops the acreage will not be nominal. The monthly report will bo issued in & few days. Travelers who have come into Des Moines report that on Saturday and today many farmers were in their fields plowing and planting and if {the weather remains as good as it has been the past two days there will be a tairly good crop. Seek High Water Orops. The faculty of the State Agriouitural college has been appealed to for informa- tion as to the best kind of vegetables and crops to plant in the gardens and d tricts overflowed by water so that som thing may be raised this year.

Mrs. Margaret Hossack of New Virginia is not yet free from the indictment against her for killing her husband two years ago. She was indicted and twice tried, once be- ing mentenced to life imprisonment. The Board of Supervisors of Warren county after the second trial notified the county attorney at Madison county that the board did not want any further expense on ac- count of the trial and virtually asked di missal. The county attorney has refused to move, but has consulted the two judges who have sat at trials in the case, who have advised against letting the case drop now. The Indictment will be allowed to remain and the case appear on the docket in Madison county for some months in the hope that new evidence may be secured. Mrs, Hossack is out on bail.

DESIRE FOR ALIMONY GIVEN AS REASON Husband is Sald to Be Ready to Fight Divorce Case Now P ing in South Dakota Courts. SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., June 7.—(Special.) —Greatly to the surptise of those who have anticlpated that Mrs. Roland B. Molineux would leave Sioux Falls in a few weeks freed from her matrimonial bonds, she has rented a dwelling house in this city and apparently intends to continue her resi- dence for an indefinite period. It is sald she paid her rent for two months in advance and will, without delay, give up her apartments in the Cataract hotel, where she has resided since coming to Sloux Falls last November. Just what reason actuated Mrs. Molineux to make this move is a subject of con- jecture and is Interpreted in various ways. Would Make Residence Legal. One theory is that under recent decisions a temporary residence does not give the courts of the state jurisdiction over res dents of another, and that she feared her residence here could not be shown to have been established and maintained in good faith. It is no ‘secret that scores of divorces have been granted in the courts of South Dakota to persons who had maintained only a semblance of a residence in the state, and they left, after procuring di- vorces, fully satisfied that their decrees were as legal and binding as could be se- cured anywhere in the United States. Quite naturally, none of the parties In interest will discuss the matter in any of some well-informed quarters that Mrs. Molineux has been influenced by someone to apply for alimony as well as a divorce, and that she is desirous that her compli- ance with the residence provision of the South Dakota statutes be strictly in a cordance with the law, so that, if it comes to a legal battle with her husband over the question of allmony, she would not run the risk of being defeated by the opposing attorneys raising the point that her resi- dence in the state was not established in good faith. Mrs. Molienux's action was certainly a surprise to the other members of the di- vorce colony, and has furnished fresh food for gossip. Recently there have been rumors to the effect that her divorce suit will be con- tested by her husband, and this move on her part, doubtless upon the advice of her attorney, would indicate that the rumors in reference to this and the question of ali- mony had quite a substantial foundation.
