Actions May he Instituted to AnnuI the Charters
OF Dormant Clubs.
ALBANY, May 1O.-State Excise Commissioner
Lyman is not alarmed at the evasions Of the
Raines Liquor Tax law in New York and Brook
lyn during prohibited hours. especially by those
clubs which were formed for just such purposes.
He has not yet received any reports from his
special agents since the amendments went into
effect. He said that club had no right to estab-
lish branches and deal In liquor at such places
This plain violation OF tho law and will be
dealt with such.
At the office of the Secretary of State to-day
inquiry was made II the charters of dormant
clubs in New York and Brooklyn, formed before
the Ra!nes law went into effect last year. which
have been secured by liquor dealers in order
that they might have some semblance of author
tied hours could be annulled. 1t was found
that subdivision Of section 1,79s of the Code
OF Civil Procedure authorizes the Attorney
General, after receiving permission from a
Supreme Court Justice, to begin an action to
nul the charter of such a corporation where II has
failed to exercise its powers for any length Of
time. Such an action however, must be tried
by jury, II demanded. and 1t would take some
time to dispose of such actions in any number In
New York and Brooklyn.
Gov. Black to-day signed Senator Nussbaum's
bill increasing from 81 TO $40 the fee to be paid
the Secretary OF State for filing club certificate

This is tho Young Mems Shenandoah Club,
which has taken possession of the Bijou at 5O2

This place was run hotel until last Satur-

SALOON BACK ROOMS STAY
Liquor Dealers Advised That tho Raines Law
Docs Not Touch Them.

1t was admitted at Police Headquarters yes
terday that the clause in tho Raines law devised
to prevent the gathering OF disorderly persons.
especially women. in saloons, there TO sit and
drink and make acquaintances. was failure.
The law says:
And 1t shall be unlawful TO have at any time
in the room where liquors sold any inclosed
box stall or any obstruction which prevents a
full view OF the entire room by every person
present therein"
This is one Of the sections of tho law that
everybody except the saloon keepers said was
an admirable one. Everybody thought il would
shut up the back rooms. The police start
ed out with the idea of closing. up all
the back rooms in the saloons, and for q
the counsel for some of tho saloon keepers got
to studying the clause and to inspecting the
premises themselves. They advised the saloon
keepers that it would be absolutely necessary to
take out tho little boxes near the back doors
which were designed to make 1t possible for per-
sons who wanted to buy beer and liquor by the
bottle or the pail to get 1t without going
saloons where there were rooms that were a part
of the barroom they would have to co. but they
said that where the rooms were back rooms
with partition from the ceiling to the
floor and entirely separate from the bar
room proper the law did not apply. They
advised the saloon keepers to refuse to close
those rooms. no matter what the police said.
The matter has been discussed at Police Head
quarters for several days, and up TO yesterday
the police officials had discovered no way to get
around the advice OF these lawyers. The matter
is still under discussion.

JACKSON KY, May 1O-Later details regard
ing the killing Of Capt. William Strong show
that he had received an invitation to go to Lex
ington to-day TO attend the g. A. r. encamp-
ment Yesterday morning he was preparing for
tho trip, and he and his wife and his six-year-old
grandson rode over to Alexander Deaton's store,
four miles away, to make somo purchases.
On the return trip Mrs. Strong stopped at the
home OF neghbor and the Captain rode on
toward home, his grandson riding behind him
on mule. When he was within half a mile
of his house three men fred on him from am
bush, the first volley breaking his leg and kill
ing the mule As the animal fell the boy rolled
of unhurt, but the Captain could not rise. and
the assassins rushed from their hiding places
and emptied their Winchesters into him. Moro

der died almost without q struggle.
Turner Mcintosh who was riding q little be-
hind tho Captain. saw and recognized the assas-
sins. He says they were John Akeman, Chad
Salyers and man named spicer, all of the Cal
lahan faction. but those who know Akeman say
he alone probably is responsible for Capt. Strong 8
death, and that it is doubtful II the Galatians
had anything to do with the killing. In tho
famous Brcathitt county war of 1s77.7s, during
which Judge Burnett Of the County Court was
killed. Akeman was an opponent OF Strong. He
met Strong in Jackson one day during that feud,
and before Capt. Strong had a chance to draw
placed his pistol at the Captains head and said:
Now, old red fox, I've got YOU" The pistol
snapped and Strong friends rushed In and pre-
vented his being murdered.

Is regarded a bad man.
Capt. Strong's former slave, Sam Strong, who
was with the Captain in all his conflicts, came
into Jackson last night. saying he was afraid
to remain in the Strong neighborhood as he
firmly believed thnt Akeman and his crowd would
kill him. He said: - tole Mars Bill that they
would get him II he didn't quit being so care

CUBAN BELLIGERENCY.
Senator Morgan's Resolution Debated In the
aeupfa.

Senator Morgan's Resolution Debated In the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Mr. Morgans resolu-
ton recognizing belligerency in Cuba was taken
up in the Senate to-day, and Mr.. Hale Rep., Mel
addressed the Senate in opposition to 1t.
Mr.. Turpie Dem. Indy argued in favor Of tho
resolution. He spoke Of the universally of
American sympathy with the Cubans in their
struggle with Spain. and said that the only ques-
ton was how far that sympathy should go.
Should it be confined to proceedings of public
meetings, or should there be an official declara-
ton and recognition Of that all-pervading SYM
pathy, asking the Government to give an express
sion of it that should be published and pro-
claimed throughout the worldl He thought
that the sympathy should take the shape and
form Of official action now-to-day. 1t ought to
be no longer postponed or delayed. The resolu-
tion should not be referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, for that committee was
similar resolution two months ago. only that
that was concurrent, while this was joint
resolution.
Referring to the objection that the Cuban pa
triots held no seaport, Mr.. Turpie cited many
other cases. including that OF the American col
onies. wherein all the seaports were held by the
enemy, and said that the struggle for liberty
had not, in any age, depended on seaports. 1t
people who lily in a country are entitled to rule
and govern it. They had God-given right of
uonlnlon over IL. lhlS was an age or revolution,
and hS hoped that it would last long enough to
drive the last remnant OF monarchy from tho
American continent.
Mr. White Dem. Call, a member Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. challenged the
correctness OF Mr.. Turpie's statement that the
committee was unanimously in favor OF the
resolution, and he compared the concurrent
resolution now pending to show the disparity
between them. He thought the usual course
should be followed and the resolution referred
TO the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr.. Morrill, rep, VT. said that he would like
to talk briefly the subject. but preferred to do
30 tomorrow. On his motion, therefore, the
Senate proceeded to executive business and af-
terwcrd adjourned.
