he has made and will continue to look
upon him as the real leader."
As to party reorganization. Mr.
Harrison said:
"I believe that there should be a
change in the permanent organization
of the Democratic party. I don't mean
by that that Chairman White should
not be retained as chairman of the na
tional committee. He showed marked
Democrats of the nation, should in
fluence Democrats to stand united as
never before and work together in a
spirit of complete co-operation and ac
cord. "I have no criticism to make of those
Democrats who failed to aid the party
when the 'going was hard.' I want to
see complete harmony within our
ranks."

Liquor Acquired for

Before Passage Volstead Act
I By United Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 8 The Unit
ed States court today held that liquor
acquired for personal use prior to the
passage of the Volstead act is immune
from seizure. The court made the rul
ing in the case of William G. Street,
who sought to enjoin the Lincoln Safe
Deposit company of New York from
forcing him to remove his liquor from
their vaults to stop revenue officers
from proceedings against him. Justice
Clarke, in a majority opinion, said that
congress in passing the Volstead act
did not contemplate the seizure of liq
uor held for personal use.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. James
Singleton went on trial today charged
with a murder which for a time prov
ed one of the most baffling the police
had been called upon to untangle.
On the night of July 27th his wife,
Elizabeth Singleton, was found dead
in her appartmcnt. At first it was be
lieved she had died from an acute at
tack of illness. An autopsy revealed
signs of poisoning and the police im
mediately advanced a suicide theory.
Friends and relatives of Mrs. Single
ton, however, would not admit she had
ended her own life and there was a fur
ther investigation -which revealed that
she had been in apparently good spirits
and was preparing to attend a theater
just before her death. Chemists at last
analyzed a Iwittlc of headache powders
from which Mrs. Singleton had taken a
dose, and found it contained strychnine.
Tracing the origin of the bottle they
found it had been given to Mrs. Single
ton by James Singleton ,her husband,
and he was placed under arrest. A
few days later he made a statement
which will figure in the trial as an al
leged confession that lie placed the
poison in the headache powders first
intending to take some himself.
PHILADELPHIA SHORT
OVER 30,000 HOUSES
By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8. Munici
pal authorities here were considering a
number of plans to relieve the housing
shortage which is becoming aggravat
ed by the unprecedented influx of immi
grants. One plan would provide for
construction of houses by the city, with
municipal supervision.
A canvass of the foreign sections
showed that in nearly all cases houses
built to roof one family were occupied
by two and sometimes three families.
This is a detriment to the health and
welfare of the community, according to
Dr. Furbush of the health department
here.
Kxperts figure that Philadelphia is
short today 30,000 six-room houses,
bt.ilders claim that due to the high cost
of materials and lalor, more than $160
000,000 would be required to builH the
t timber of houses needed. Six thous
and dollars is the average cost to on
truct a six-rooms house, according t-
contractors. During the first nine
months of 1920, only 1.170 permits to
l-tiild homes were issued, as against
?,503 for 1915, and 7,758 ior 1016. "

The public service commission has
received word from the Interstate Com
merce commission that the rail carriers
have appealed the denial of a raise of
rates in freights and fares as made by
the Nevada commission.
The carriers ask that the decision of'
the Nevada commission be set aside
and that the proposed rates as set up
by the roads be allowed. The property
valuations and the advanced rates both
in freights and farts are asked to be
set aside substituting the federal order
as originally made. The roads further
contend that the federal order is super
ior and eliminates action by state com
missions. Chairman Shaughnessv stat.es that
this simply puts the state of Nevada on
trial before the Interstate Commerce

fendant to the hearing, but the entire
state, as should the commission be de

LADY FARMER

some land in the section northeast of
J unjro, having made a filing todn.
Mrs. Howard is an elderly lady who
has made a succuss in California and
now desires to continue active in the
development of a virgin country.
If she is successful in developing su?.
ficient water for irrigation she will lose
den or lawn.
In practically all sections where at
tention is paid to enrichment of soils
the leaves are acumulattd and allowed
to rot and then applied to the ground,
in this particular section they are relig
iously burned, thus depriving the
ground from the returns that nature
planned.
No one wants to be his brother's
keeper, but there are lots of lawn and
gardens that would respond more abun
dantly if given a chance with the cov

are so abundently spread for protec
