Governor Goodrich may soon find that he will be the storm center of a bitter controversy, an unwilling storm center, it is true, but a real-for-sure storm center none the less. This comes about because the senate the other day, when no one was looking, rassed a bill providing that distribution of trophies captured front the Germans during the war shall be made by the Governor of each state. And whn it is understood that every county seat in Indiana is a militant contestant in the race ft.r captured German trophies, and that nearly every town that has a postoffica is a potential contestant, it will he seen that Governor Goodrich's task will be no slight one. The trouble about it all is that there are not enough trophies to go around. Indiana alone has more than COO such bills to her credit. But the members of the senate saw many weary hours ahead in trying to Judge which towns ought to get German trophies, so Senator Wadsworth, of Xew Tork, chairman of the military committee, quietly put through the hill to permit each Governor to make distribution of the war trophies. The bill has gone to the house, where t lit re is prospect that it will pass, because the house members do not care to be imbarrassed by deciding which towns in their districts are entitles! to trophies. The bill provides that all cannon, machine guns, minenwerf ers. gun carriages, mortars, bomb-throwers, linnethrowers, gas projectors and other devices and trophies shall be awarded to the states, with the exception of those required for experimental purposes and those to be used in decorating national cemeteries and soldiers' homes. The eiistribution to the stales would be made on the basis of the number of men pro ided by each state and directs the adjutant-general to prepare lists showing such comparative service records. The government would pay the cost of transportation and for this purpose $ 1,000.100' would be appropriated. EMPLOYES IN SCRAP i Farmers Attempt to Open Road Over Tracks and Employes Resist. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 CROWN POINT, Ind., June IS. News reached here today of a wordy battle staged between the employes of tho Pennsj Ivania Railway Company and a group of farmers near the other end of the Crown Point-Logansport division of; Pennsylvania tracks. The farmers were J attempting to open a road over , the j tracks of the company, and the railway j employes were trying to prevent it. Several weeks ago farmers petitioned , the Cass county commissioners to open a road over the Pennsylvania tracks. The farmers said tho road once had been legally opened, but tho railroad company closed it. An investigation showed this contention correct. The commissioners ordered the auditor to serve net!ce on the railway company to ree'pe.n the road. The; company ignored the notice. The commissioners instructed the trustee of the township to open the road. This was done. Tne Pennsylvania company then rebuilt the fei.ee aril destroyed the grade work Tbf fine.es were again torn down by the tiustee. Wednesday the fence was tebuilt. That evening it was torn down by the trustee and farmers. When employes of the conn.ioy went to th. plice to construct the fence agrxln the farmers were there. LETZ CO.

HAILED BY BRITISH WORKERS AS FIRST ENGLISH PRESIDENT

A V Robert Smillie. Robert Smiilie, head of the British coal miners' union, was recently hailed at a great meeting1 of radica' trade unionises in Manchester a: "the f.rst president of the republu of England." He is one cf the mos1 influential labor leaders in Britain and ha3 expressed sympathy with the Bolshevik movement in Russia. BATTERED AND BRUISED STILL FIGHTS tCeintlnued from page one.) interstate commerce any distilled ririts for beverage purposes between the dat of the president's proclamation and Ieffective date of national prohibition, January 1." The department of justice was making preparations today, it was learned, to prosecute all direct violations of the war-time law reportc-d from tomorrow until the enforcement code i.s enacted, under the provisions of the original act. Ry direct violations, it was explained, was meant the sale of spiritous and vinous liquors. It was understood that the department would not be so quick to act in cases involving the sale of beer and will be satisfied to wait until the status of brewed beverages has been determineel by the. test cases that now are befeire the courts. War department officials refused to speculate today upon the date when it w ill be possible to say the army has been demobilized. The make-up of the army with its drafteel men, national guardsmen and regulars, together with volunteers for "the duration of the emergency." and for various periods, is so ceniplicated that it was said that the question as to when demobilization hael been terminated probably would have to be decided by legal experts. It was expected that the point would be ruled on by the ateirney general's office. Meanwhile, with the enforcement code not jet enacted, the anti-saloon league contended that the original act carried sufficient provisions for its enforcement, in the interim. "If the liquor men violate the war prohibition act, they do so at their own peril." was the warning issued by Dr. E. C. Dinwiddle, legislative superintendent of the league. The league wil Iseek to have the enforcement code made more drastic bv the amendment of the provision allowing liquor to be stored in homes was revealed tedny in a statement by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the league. "The proposed provision for an unlimited amount of liquor to be permanently stored in the home is unwise he declaretl. "It wil turn many homes into tpeak easies because the home is exempted from the search and seizure clause entirely unles it is in part a store or boarding house. The proposed code deies not authorize the search of a house even if it is proven that liiuor is sold the rein. This provision should be changed so as to limit the amount of liquor possessed or the time of its possession. ' Are you reading The T.-.Ties?
