In answer to an objection that one of the police regulations ot the Dis trict of Columbia, prohibiting the keep> ing of roosters without the written consent of a majority of the household ers on the block, was void because it delegated the power of the commission ers to the people of the block, the court In Pltchlynn vs. District of Co lumbia. 36 App. D. C., 186 said: “The requirement with reference to the keeping of roosters within the fire limits is not a delegation of power. It merely puts vain and noisy roosters upon their good behavior.” Probably the prohibition is unconsti tutional as class legislation.

Atlanta, Dec. 23.—I'he production- of a flash of whiskey by a student at the boys’ high school during the course of a debate on the subject, “Resolved, that Georgia’s present pro hibition law should be repealed,” had a potent influence in persuading the judges to grant a decision in favor ot the affirmative today. L. A. Plnkussohn. the leader ol the affirmative, was striving to con vince the judges that the prohibitiou law was a failure and that it was not being enforced and could not: be. He charged that it was being vio lated every day, and, as proof ot msi statement, startled the large audience of students and parents by pulling from his pocket a flask of whiskey,^ whira he dramatically waved beforft' them, exclaiming: “This flask w^as purchased by me, a minor, a student at the boys’ Mgu school, ’within a stone’s throw oi wliere I am standing.” “SELF-MADE MAN” VISITS PRESIDENT TAFT.
