IfSTRUNING ORDER NOW
IS HELD TO BE USELESS
Baton Ronge. La., Dec. 4.—(AP) —
T!i* administration tot'.ay inform
*d the Cast Baton Rouge uistrict
court, which last week issued a re
straining: order to prevent State au
thorities from printing ballots for to
morrows sixth district congressional
election that the restraining order was
without effect because the ballots had
already been printed.
With the status of the ballots thus
in doubt. Judge George K. Farraut,
presiding in the court, ordered to trial
the case of six district citizens against
the secretary of state challenging the
printin gelitof cmfwyp etaoin shrdu
printing of the ballots.
The case was that J. O. Bounchaud
and nine other citizens of the district
who have attacked the legality of the
administration, moved to send Mrs.
Bolivar E. Kempt to the vacant sixth
district congress seat in a special elec
tlon called for tomorrow without the
holding of a party primary.
By order of the administration to
the district Democratic committee,
the ballots at issue contain only the
name of Mrs. Kempt, Senator Huey
P Long’s selection for the congres
sional post.
In a series of violent demonstra
tions during the past few days, citi
zens in several sections have seized
the printed ballots from the parish
court houses and burned them pub
licly and a majority of the parishes
in the district have declined to share
any expense of the election.

her indictment for the murder of
Rheta, her daughter-in-law.
In a brief hearing. Chief Justice
Philip L. Sullivan assigned the trial
to Judge Joseph B. Davis.
Judge Sullivan, who retires from the
circuit bench today to become a Fed
eral district judge announced as court
opened that Warden Monepenny had
informed him the elderly woman pri
soner was not stronge enough to Bp
brought into court. There was no plea
entered in her behalf and no date was
set for the trial.
Since her incarceration nine days
ago, Dr. Alice has been prostrated by
exhaustion, as severe bronchial cough
and perilously high blood pressure.
Charles S. Daugherty, assistant
State’s attorney, said he would ask
Judge Davis tomorrow to set a date
for the trial.
Earle, son of Dr. Wynekoop, and the
second suspect in the enigmatic mur
der of his wife is still held on a war

the crime. He will be arraigned next

week to indict him.

If Ireland Declared Itself

To Demand It
London, Dec. 4.—(AP) —The' British
cabinet wrestled nearly two hours in
a special meeting today with problems
trising from the crisis which has been
reached in relation between the Irish
Free State and the British common
wealth of nations.
The ministers had before them a
dispatch President Eamonn de Valera,
of the Irish Free State, sent Dom
inion Secretary J. H. Thomas.
In it, it was understood, De Valera
3aid lie was awaiting a statement as
to what would be the British govern
ment's attitude toward the declara
tion of an Irish republic. It was gen
erally expected in political circles that
the cabinet’s reply to de Valera would
be dispatched today and the cpntents
of this answer would be disclosed to
morrow in the House of Commons.
This announcement would thus coin
cide with Thomas’ reply to a mem
ber's question on the matter.
Thomas was asked if the dominion
secretary would bring to the notice of
the natives of the Free State the dis
advantages both this country and
their own would suffer if the Free
State were declared a republic.

domestic price levels as the monetary
basis, and the use of silver for a por

The amendment also would provide
