PLUCK SHOWN
BY YOUTH OF 17
AGAINST ODDS
Determined To Go To School;
Family so Poor He Scolded
For Using Kerosene
Seventeen years old. in the
seventh grade, the main support
of his mother and two younger
brothers for three years, yet so
determined to have an education
that he quit a regular job so that
he might go to school this te the
slory of one Salem boy as told by
Dr. Henry E. Morris to whose at
tention the matter was brought.
His mother is ill with rheuma
tism, and failing to understand
the boy's craving for knowledge
scolds him for wanting to use a
little kerosene in the lamp in or
der that he may study for the
next day's work. The younger
brothers are 7 and 12 years old.
Dr. Morris In commenting on
the boy's pluck, ambition and de
termination last night, said that
he needed a "big brother" or even
several "big brothers." The con
ditions under which the boy lives,
his environment and family life
are all , against him, yet in spite
of all he is determined to go
through;, high school and hopes to
earn enough after hours to keep
the family from want.
t This case came to the attention
f Dr. Morris through the work he
has been doing for the Associated
Charities during the last year. The
association will meet tonight in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
for an organization meeting pre
paratory to the coming years
work.
Steamship Companies Bat
tle for Right to Serve
Liquor on Board
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. (By
The Associated Pres.) On the
eve of the date set tor the en-
iorcement oi tne reaerai ruling
probiDiung passenger vessels,
both American and foreign, from
bringing liquor under seal Into
American ports, enforcement au
thorities today were faced with
two important test cases.
One was a temporary restrain
ing order, granted today by Fed
eral Judge Learned Hand, en-
Joining local enforcement author
ities from molesting liquor on
board the American steamers Fin
land and St. Paul.
Hailed. As Victory
The other was an order direct.
ing the government agents - to
show why an injunction should
not be issued restraining them
from- interference with ships of
the British owned Cunard and
Anchor lines. This was issued by
fudge Hand last night.
The injunction granted today
was hailed as an important vic
tory for the steamship companies,
who claim they would loose mil
lions by the enforcement of the
Daugherty prohibition decision.lt
was Issued upon application et
the International mercantile ma
rine corporation, which controls
the American line operating the
Finland and St. Paul.
Most Show Cause
Judge Hand last night had
signed an order directing the au
thorities to show cause why they
thould not be enjoined from act
ing against the 24 liners in the
trans-Atlantic fleet of the British
owned Cunard Steamship com
pany and the Anchor line.
' The Cunard complaint pointed
out that the carrying iato effect
of the Daugherty opinion would
cause the steamship companies
great pecuniary loss by reason of
difficulty in obtaining crews and
by the diversion of passenger bus
iness to Canadian ports. It fur
ther stated that it would be im
possible to comply with foreign
laws, notably an Italian law re
quiring that wine of 12 per cent
alcoholic content be supplied to
officers, members of the crew and
third class- passengers on ships
carrying third class- Italian pass
engers. ' ; - '

Hearing Proceeds in
Grain Rate Controversy
DES MOINES, la,, Oct. 12.
Representatives of the railroad
commissions that are opposing;
the application of the carriers for
a uniform freight rate on all
grains urged at . the hearing to
day before Examiner H. C. Keene
of the interstate commerce com
mission that coarse grains should
take a lower rate than wheat be
cause of their lower value.
The hearing here probably will
end tomorrow.
It Is a cardinal principle of
rate snaking that the value of
commodities should be! . so" con
sidered in adjusting tariffs, the
state commissions maintained.
they pointed out that wheat, besides-
being worth more than
coarse grains, coats the railways
more to move.
