MONDAY SERVANTS WATCH
xMany 'policemen, several Keystone
comedy cops and an army of serv
ants are lying in wait along the Lake
Shore drive fearful of another visit
from "the "closing hour bandits."
"Strange to say, not even a single

ARGUE ADAMSON LAW BEFORE
U. S. SUPREME COURT

Hines, chairman c-f railroads general
committee of counsel, and John C

but attempt by congress to fix wages
of employes and such action is with
out jurisdiction of congress.
Argument will continue tomorrow,
when Prank G. Hagerman 4(rill close
for government.
