This country is proud ot this-
lice Holmes, not because of his
age and remarkable vigor, but
because he has retained through
so long a life a clear knowledge
of law and the constitution,
sound judgment and democratic
sympathy.
His interpretation of law is
for men and women, not for
corporations.
Mrs. Scliocmmcl, mother of
two children, holder of 22 swim
ming records, swam in rough
water two miles in one hour,
with hands and feet tied tight
ly a remarkable achievement.
f
But more ramarkahle arc the
millions of mothers that have
gone through live, hands and
feel, tied tightly by poverty and
lack of opportunity, bringing
up their families and surviving
the rough water of domestic
life, unappreciated by husbands
and such obstacles.
FVankic rale, leader of
Brooklyn bootleggers, "got the
works'' as he sat In his fine big
liincoln car. They Imricd him
Willi $00,00(1 worth of flowers,
and M-ichacl Abbatenarco, af
leetiouately called "I,iltlc
Mike," took Tale's place.
"Little .Mike" got the works
Saturday. Police found him
crumpled up in his high-powered
automobile and said. " Who
did it ?" "Somebody from Chi
cago." After "Iittle Mike" is bur
ied, with affectionate flowers,
somebody from New York will
kill somebody from Chicago,
and so it goes back and forth.
The bootlegging, hijacking
system that pays hundreds of
millions a year, in profits atid
bribes, builds up n powerful
criminal class.
Sonic day this country will
do something about it.

Attorney t'.eneral Van Winkle,
when apprised of the denial today.
1 was not prepared to say whether
j further steps would be taken to get
I an urfjuuH'iu lefore the United
States eourt.
The action' ut Washington will
have no effect on the eondltiun of
t state funds and financial outlays
las now existing. State Treasurer
' Kay said, for the reuson that in
making Its tax levy last year and
t estimating state needs the slate
idid not take into eonsideraion the
I possibility that the state might re
;eeive pat : o. the refund. Had the
'state been victorious, however,
Kay wild, the stnte'8 deficit, esti
' mated for the end of the year at
ifroiu $tiOU,UOO to 1.500.000, would
have hcpn wiped out.
The refund case dutes historical
ly bir;k to ti'lii and the refunds
Jenvor the period beginning In Hint
, year. In 1910 congress, by a re
j VL'Mlinent act, revested In the gov
ernment ? H, I H - .000 in tills act.
j which was known as the Chamber-
laln-Keriis act. It was provided
(that the government should classi
) fy the land and sell it, Krotn the
j proceeds of the sale the govern
; ineiu, under -the terms of the bill,
j would have kept 1 0 per eent for
J handling the sales, the reclamation
service was to receive 4U pur cent.
the counties 5 per cent and the
state -Irreducible school fund 25
per cent. It was calculated that
iwhat the counties would receive
would rceumpensate I hem for the
loss nf the taxes, hut the hunls
were not sold and the counties lost
j heavily.
In 1320 the counties applied lo
congress for relief. As a result
I congress passed the Stanfield bill.
(This hill provides fu effect that the
puuiiticx shall be paid as an ad
vance against the., fund proyided In
the Chamberlain-Ferris act such
1 an amount as would cuual the
(taxes that would have been levied
(on the revested lands if they hail
j remained privately owned. The
j hill provided also that the money
iso received should be paid to the
1 slate. counties, port districts,
(school districts, road districts ami
i other civil sub-divisions of the
counties in the same proportion as
'taxes for the several years covered
I by the act.
j Under the terms of the Stanfield
I bill the government paid the land
jgrant counties about A7.0U0.00U.
I Of this amount the state claimed
$1,349,359.48, and It was claimed
; by the state that the state's future
1 interest, including the payments
! a 1 read y made to t h e count! cm,
would be itbout yiO.Ouu.OOO.
After the money had been paid
out by the government under the
Stanfield bill lo the counties, the
stiit o made a claim in Marlon
county for 24,059.41. Marion
county's share of the refund was
8119.355.56. The county refused
to pay. f Then the s11" un relation
jot the attorney general brought a
: mandamus against Marion county
I court o require the payment.
I In the circuit court Judge I. II.
(McMahan denied the writ. Appeal
, was taken to the stale supreme
court and the case was twice
j argued. On April 17 last the state
j supreme court. 'by a 4 to 3 decision
j held that the congressional act did

the writ of mandamus. The, stale

Willlum Ktlward Hickman or Los
Angeles, ('al., under sentence of
death on October 10 for the murder
1 of Marian Parker, a U'-year-old
1 school girl, was today denied an
, appeal to the supreme court by Jus
tice Sutherland,
i Jerome Walsh of Kansas City,
i Hickman'K lawyer, held a long con
I fereiiee with Justice Sutherland,
who has chai-;e of cases in the
j Pacific const circuit, explaining to
! him in detail the grounds for ask
.ing for an appeal. He was unable,
t however, to convince Mr. Suther
' land that theie had been a miscar
riage of Justice. Had Justice Suth
, ei land granted an appeal. Walsh
1 intended to ask for a may of exe
cution. ! Walsh said that he had not aban
doned hope of gettii:.; the case bc
i fore tiie supreme court. He will
ibe unable to take it before the court
, as a whole but he intends to call,
upon other justices in the hope of
j finding one who will .grant an ;i;j-
peal.
j I'nder the practices of the court
j it will he nesessary for Walsh to
texplaln fully lo other justices the
j refusal uf Justice Sutherland and
, in most instances that of itself has
1 been enn trolling. Those familiar
1 with the procedure were of the im-
piession that Walsh was not likely
I to find a Justice who would give
j him an appeal after It had been re
t fused him by Justice Sutherland.
