Word was received by telegraph this
morning, that Jake Lindsay, a well
known Austin boy, had been killed in
action on Nov. 4. Before he entered
the service he was a member of the
Austin fire department.
C. L. Woodward, fire marshal, said
of him that he was a good boy and
made a good fireman and that he was
very sorry to hear of his death. Mayor
Wooldridge communicated the news
to the boy's father, J. C. Lindsay, who

Two cases, to be tried together, to
determine whether or not injunctions
restraining Emil V. Joseph and Percy
E. Nelson of Fort Bend County from
selling intoxicants should be perpet-
uated, were submitted on statement
of fact in the Travis County District
Court today.
The statement of fact says that these
men will sell intoxicants under license
unless restrained. Their representa-
tives argued that the whole statutory
prohibition law fell when the section
prohibiting the selling was declared
unconstitutional.
The Attorney General's Department,
which is seeking to have the injunc-
tions perpetuated, contends that the
decision of the Court of Criminal Ap-
peals is not to be regarded in a civil
proceedure and that all sections of the
law not expressly declared unconsti-
tutional are still valid.
Judge George Calhoun announced
from the bench that owing to pressure
of other matters no decision would be
given for several days.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5.—Machine

riots in Cologne on Tuesday, accord-

stores in different parts of the city
were plundered. Ther were a number
of casualties in the ranks of the dem-
onstrants.
great armies and fleets. Such contests must always be a fruitful
source of war, since the poorer of the rivals must either break down
under huge tax burdens or seek to halt the race of preparation by a
trial of strength. Broader application of the principle of arbitration
and the reaching of an understanding among the Nations to appeal
to justice rather than force must follow the great war if a. peace
which may reasonably be expected to be permanent is established.
The trouble with any discussion of a League of Nations by a
■ mere observer at this time is that no presentation in detail has been
made of the official view of any power participating in the peace
conference. There is apparent on all sides a willingness to discuss

There are few indeed who escape

Labor Commissioner T. C. Jennings
states that violations of the child la-
bor law are frequent in Austin, not-
withstanding numerous warnings have
been given by the State Labor Depart-
ment.
Mr. Jennings states that it has been
the policy of the department to try to
eliminate these violations without in-
stituting prosecution proceedings if
possible, but that as warnings seem
to have no effect complaints will be
filed in the courts against those found
violating the law in future and that
such cases will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
It constitutes a violation of the child
labor law to employ any child under
15 years of age in any factory, mill,
workshop, laundry, theater or other
place of amusement, or in messenger
service in cities or towns of more than
15,000 Inhabitants and anjbne so vio-
lating the law is subject to a penalty
of from >25 to >200, or by imprison-
ment not to exceed sixty days in the
county jail, or by both such fine nd
imprisonment.
The law provides that where the
earnings of the child are necessary for
the support f i'yself. widowed mother,
invalid father or of children younger
than the child for whom the permit
is sought, the County Judge may issue
a permit to such child under certain
conditions, and in certain employments
where the mental, moral or physical
condition of the child is not likely to be
injured.
