If the Judae is unable to reach a de
cision before next Sunday, the 4empO'
rary Injunction restraining the district
attorney and police officers from Inter
ference will stand for at least another

John F. Logan this morning cited
a new authority in support of the Sun
day opening aide which he holds Is de
cisive on the question of the right to
enjoin a public officer. In opposition to
the contention or the district attorney
that he cannot be enjoined. The case
Is that of Harry Sandys against George
H. Williams, when the latter was may

Ions." Thla case waa decided In 1905.

"Western Insurance," by Colonel Fred
W. Fleming of the Kansas City Life In
surance company, was the topic of th
first address of the day. - Colonel Flem
ing: made an aboeal for the upbuilding
of the western insurance companies. He
declared that in the trans-Mississippi
country alone there was in Insurance
onthe lives of Its oitisena practically
.5,000,000,000. He added that it waa
well within the bounds of conservatism
to estimate the amount of premium
that would be paid to life insurance
companies by people of the 22 western
States during tne next 10 year at l.
260,000.000. He urged the western peo
ple to keep these immense sums in the
west instead of sending them east. In
order that met might be used for the
development or tne great , western coun-
r?ie predicted that if American life
insurance companies in th next 20
yeara continued their preaent percent
ago of growth their accumulated assets
tn 1930 would dwarf Into insignificance
the combined valuation of all tha aav
Ings companies, banks., trust companies
and railroad companies, ox tn united
States. He stated that one American
company had more policyholders than
th combined population of California,
Washington. Nevada, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona,
Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkan
sas, Louisiana and North and South
Dakota.' The resources of another com
pany, he stated, equaled in amount one
half Oi the entire capital of all th na
tional banka in th eountry.
He arerued that inasmuch aa Dronertv
used for educational and religious pur
poses is exempt from taxation, the vol
untary contributions made by members
of insurance associations should also:
b exempt.

"Kesoived, That unles the PaT-ifio

recommend and urge the United States

Bay Rum has been commonly,
used for centuries in the care of
th hair,, as a toilet water, and
by men after shaving. Its pe
culiar refreshing; odor makes it
the most popular of all toilet
preparations. Real, genuine Bay
Rum (distilled from Bay leaves)
has become almost unobtain
able ia America, chiefly because
of the heavy import duty collect
ed by the government, and it
high price in consequence. The result has been the common
sale of a so-called bay rum, whicl in fact ia nothing else than alcohol
and water flavored with bay leaves. The genuine haa always retailed
for $1 per pint. .
