Tho uhurch received Into IHs

' With persuasive dignity and
true generalship, Dr. Thompson led
his forees onward and upward,

the top to the sum of $2200. It
was Indeed a happy time for the

the undertaking accomplished, the
congregation deported lhcmsc)vcn

GARBAGE SUIT
A decision was handed down
today by Circuit Judge C. M.
Thomas in the city garbage cuae,
which Involved the suit of Hay
Kpcncer and W, H. Welly against
the city to prevent the enforce
ment of tho garbage ordinance.
The decision upheld the ciiy in so
far as garbage was concerned, but
did not u p hold that part of the
ordinance where "rubbish" is men
tioned. The decision means that the City
Sanitary Hervice now has exclu
sive right to collect all city gar
bage from hotels and restaurants,
from which It has been collected
by Hpencer and Welty to feed hogs
on their farms near this city. How
ever, the plaintiffs in tho case will
appeal to tho stato supremo court,
It was announced by their attor
ney, "W. K. Phipps, this afternoon.
The meat of the decision is:
"This statement of the defend
ants Is well supported by other
authorities nnd brings the conclu
sion that the present ordinance is
unreasonable and therefore uncon
stitutional. In so far as It pertains
to "rubbish" as defined by (.he or
dinance. The next question then Is, wheth
er the ordinance being constitu
tional om to part and unconstitu
tional an to another part, will as
to the constitutional portion re
main valid and enforceable. My
conclusion is In the affirmative.
The plalntffs, as already stated,
contend that an adverse holding
will destroy their legitimate busi
ness and compel breach of contract
under their agreements. This is
true, hut It has been repeatedly
held that a city, under Its police
power, Invoked In tho interest of
hen 1th and sanitation, may do this.
HegardlcflH of our individual opin
ions of the necessity or even ad
visability of such an ordinance as
the one before tho court, the law
has been determined by higher
courts and must be followed.
My conclusion Is that the ordi
nance 1h valid as to garbage and
Invalid as to "rubbish," and that
the latter subject should he treated
as surplusage.
The plaintiff's case will be dis
missed and the restraining order
dissolved.
Innsmuch as this case will be
appealed, author!! Ich are here
given in addition to those cited
in briefs."

unusual In negotiations for tho
Wyoming oil lease for which the
government charged he accepted
$2,1.1.000 In Liberty bonds from
Harry F. Sinclair. He said the
lease arrangements were canted
nut by J. W. Zevoly, now dead, nnd
that the wealthy oil mfl hliyself
lutd not come into the deal until
the day the lease was signed, April
7, 1922, Kven that day. ho said,
Sinclair rejected the lease hecnuso
Fall Insisted on larger royalties
for tho government and accepted It
after considerable Htgiimeiit.
The lease. Fall maintained, had
nothin? to do with receipt hy htm
of tho Liberty bonds from Slnclnlr.
These, he raid, were paid by the
oil man for a third Interest In his
Tres Hitos ranch In New Mexico,
where the oil man wanted estab
lished h breeding place for horses.
Taking of the Fall deposition has
required four day with a total of
time little more than HJ hours.
Several days will be required to

into any allegation the Jury has
Insisted, it is said, that there must

It Is thus due to this thorough
