Flag Famine Reaches South Bend

Thre is an American tlai; 'amine in S'.uth fiend. A, far as can be learned this J!as? famine is extending throughout Die country and dealers predict that within 10 das the entire supply of the national emblem will be exha u.- ted. It was learned Saturday through a anva.-s of the various stores in South Iler.d that the stock of larger taml medium size! flails is complete ly exhausted. Although the buyers for tlie stores have made trips to Chicago and attempts to purchase stock there they were ;:iven little satisfaction, i'ractically every order wired to eastern fla companies has been turned down, while others have been answered with the word jthat shipments could be made withi ing the next week but at double the j former list prices. Milan I lags .Mnilaoic. There is still a supply of smaller Hays of the cheaper quality but , those with fast colors cannot be secured. J)uring the early part of the week seveial local buyers went to Chicago, scoured the city and returned with a few of the emblems. One man, fearing to trust to shipments carried the allotment for his store back to South llend on the train with him. The public will buy any sort of a flag that is available. The stores have even disposed of flags which they hail used for decorating pur Go 67 Years in Double Harness "We're getting pretty old and we can't do much, but he can still spade the garden." Mrs. John l'mbick pointed to her husband and then to the carefully plotted garden spot in the yard back f the little cottage, where the couple have lived for 34 years at 815 Wayne st. Today Mr. and Mrs. Embiek are celebrating their CTth wedding anniversary. The anniversary ef the wedding fell yesterday, sir.ee the marriage took place. April 11, 1850, but the annual family dinner is today. Two small round gardens in the front yard and a garden running along the front and side of the house showed signs of the flowers that usually bloom there earlier than this in other springs, but due to a long illness Mrs. Kmbiek says that everything is behind this year. Put the little house is filled with potted plants an l some red lilies are blooming on the window sill. In one corner of the room stands a tall palmlike plant. Mrs. Kmbiek calls this a cactus plaji, which is not its correct name, she explains. After inquiring about "the girl who used to come and see us," the old lady regretted that she had left the city, since she had intended giving her a plant this year. Of five hoys and five girls, only two daughters are living now, Mrs. Frank Cabanaw, 102.1 C.eorglana a v., and Mrs. George Pinkerton, W. Wayne st. On being asked the number of grandchildren living, Mr. l'mbick said that if she remembered rightly there were 17 grandchildren. 1; great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Mr. Kmbiek told of a time when Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Studebaker, sr.. had stopped before the house on the day of their celebration and left some lilies;. "Yes." said the old man, nodding, "and now he is gone. Put that's the way it goes." Mrs. l'mbick is S." years obi and Mr. Kmbiek is very close to fjC. And as the two old people sit together, side by side, one cannot help noting the expression of their kindly eyes. As they talk and recite instances if other days, the eyes of each of them, as blue as the sky, smile and soften in remembrance and tenderness that only years can bring.

poses for several years. Kven the shopworn emblems have been gobbled up. The Wyman & Co. store had its establishment completely derora?ej with flags several days ago but their stock was exhausted and the demand became so insistent that the decorations were taken down and sold, the concerning expressing the opinion that it was better to have ono tlag at er.ch of 00 homes than to have the assortment gathered together under one roof. New Yorker Corner Market. Reports were received at the Ilrandon-Durrell store ih. a certain man in New York, foreseeing the demand for flags several days aco. bought every available emblem in the city and is now disposing of them at a much advanced price. It is understood that even the I'nited States government is having difficulty in securing flags. One wholesaler dealer In Chicago scoured the east for flags last week but found very few. Upon returning to Chicago he found an order from the government for several hundred emblems. He was compelled to turn back the order unfilled. Considerable time is necessary to make flags according to the local merchants. Lack of material, certain dyes-, and the printing process, all take up considerable time and it is not thought that the demand will be fully supplied for sometime to come.

UPHOLDS FORD

SZIGET! CASE Michigan City Judge Rules Mayor Can't Revoke a Saloon License. Sustaining the decision of Judge George Ford of. superior court in granting a restraining order preventing Mayor Keller from arresting Joseph Szigety, proprietor of a saloon at 301 S. Chapin st., Jude Harry 1 Crumpacker of Michigan C ty yesterday held that a mayor hos no authority to revoke a liquor license. Judge Crumpacker's decision was given after hearing arguments in the case on Thursday. Judge Crumpacker's ruling was based partly on a decision of the supreme court given In the case of the Doard of Commissioners vs. Scanlon when it was held that the city has no discretion in regard to a license after It has been granted by the commissioners under the Proctor law passed by the Indiana legislature in 1111. In this law it was provided that a certain sum must be paid to the county and an additional amount to the city. The supreme court held that the city was Required to accept the fee. Cite Another Caso. In another case, Simpson vs. State, it was held that if a city desired to raise its license fee it had to do so within 30 days after the Proctor lawwent into effe-ct. After that it has no power to change the amount of the fee. Arguments were presented to 'Judge Crumpacker that the commis sioners can revoke a license only aft er th holder has been convicted the second or third time for violations of the law. City Atty. Eli F. Seebirt and Judge Vernon W. Van Fleet, who represented the city, argued that under the cities and towns act of 19U.- the mayor was specilically givtn the power to revoke licenses. The court held that this power applied only to licenses which had been granted by the city. Judge Crumpacker pointed out that the city, when iL accepted its share of the liquor license fee, was not required to issue any kind of license or receipt. He held that those that are now being issued are worthless. C))cii on Primary Day. Szigety was arrested a few weeks igo charged with keeping his saloon 1 open on the day of the primary election. March (J. Later, his license was revoked by Mayor Keller, but he continued to keep his saloon open. He was arrested twice after the revocation and he finally appealed to Judge Grcrge Ford for a restraining order, prohibiting Mayor Keller from arresting him. After Judge Ford had granted the temporary order, attorneys for the city tool: the case to the superior court of Laporte county in Michigan City, where they sought a dissolu tion of the order. Jurge Crumpacker denied the dfcsolution. D. D. Nemeth and George A. Kurtz represented Szigety.
