Circuit Court SduS No, But the

OdS6 OF lt-CdSe From
Cdb6ll COUNTY.

A process was issued last week IN
the case of the State of West Vir-
ginia VS.. Charles A. Davis, from
Cabell county.
This Is one of the most important
appeals allowed for some time by
the Supreme Court of Appeals and
should that body reverse the decis.
ION of the lower court when the case
Is argued it will mean keen disap.
pointment TO many and grave trou-
bic for most every saloon keeper in
the State of West Virginia.
Charles Davis is licensed liquor
dealer in huntington, " est
Va, and in October, 1905, Emma
Nj. Mcdonald, who resided near the
saloon of Davis, gave an order from
her house, over the telephone to
Davis, asking him To deliver a GER
tain quantity of beer to her house.
and when the liquor arrived she
paid the porter.
Although the Mcdonald woman
claimed she had purchased beer in
this manner many times, she was
the cause of the grand jury indict-
ing Davis on a charge of selling
liquor at place where he had no
license.
The Criminal Court of Cabell
county refused To find Davis gully
OF the charge and he was releas, d
and Judge Doolittle refused To
grant an appeal To the State on
writ OF error, but the Supreme
Court granted the appeal TO the
plaintiff who claims in the petition
that the court erred in holding that
a sale made by the defendant, e.. A.
Davis, at a place other than that
mentioned in his State license was
covered or protected by the SAID
state license.
Second: The court erred in find
ing that the title TO the beer sold by
Davis TO Emma Mcdonald passed
out Of Davis at his saloon on Eighth
street and by holding that the sale
was made in his saloon.
Third: The court erred i'm not
finding that the sale Of beer made
by the defendant, Davis, to the
witness. Emma Mcdonald, was not
made at the point of delivery, to-
wit: at Bette Mead's, one square
distant from the house covered by
Davis license.

Progressive EuGhre OenollnGed.

A decided sensation was created
In society circles in Cynthiana. Ky.,
on Saturday, March 3, when the fol.
lowing report of the Harrison county
grand jury was made public:
cit has been brought TO our notice
that many of the citizens who are
indulging in card games are playing
what is commonly called progressive
euchre in their parlors, in which
game prizes are played for by those
engaged.
These progressive euchre parties
are made attractive and auuring by
prizes, serving refreshments and
giving publicity In the papers aud
adding high social enjoyment.
AT these meetings not only are
prizes played for, but persons are
taught to play cards and contest for
prizes and the object is the same as in
the common gambling rooms.
1t is gambling clothed with re.
spectibility, made so by its devotees.
we condemn the practice as a re.
hectlon upon good morals and
Christianity and also as we believe
a violation of the statutes against
gambling. We feel it our duty to
investigate, and after due invest.
igation believe that the danger line
has been reached. Section 1877 of
OF the Kentucky Statutes provides
that any one participating in any
game In which money or properly
Is won or lost is gambling and is
guilty Of violation of this statute"

JACOB RIIS AGAIN TALKS
Says He Wants to See Theodore Roose- welt Mayor of New York--Com- mander Tanner to Speak
 In Atlanta.

Washington, January .-(Special.)-The Sims resolution calling for the estimate of the amount of unginned cotton on January Is may be passed by the House this week as it has favorable report from agricultural committee. Not lit tie interest is manifested in the contents of the report, the majority centending that it will tend to bull cotton. At the same time the census bureau IS being criticised for it's action in collecting statis- tics of estimates 'Srhe census bureau" said a southern member today lis sup pose to report only the facts and it seems to me that it is rather going beyond its authority in getting up estimates
 It is understood here that the director of the census sent to all ginners and county agents blank asking, first, the amount of cotton ginned January l6; sec ond, the weight in bales, and third, the estimates of the amount unginned on Jan uary 16 The first was published. the second will be out in the course of a few days. The third was asked for, &C., cording to the director. simply for the pur- pose of aiding him in determining what counties to canvass in March only about one-half the counties ginning after this month.
 Members from cotton growing states are of the opinion that the estimates should be left to the department of agricul- ture and some of them point out gross inaccuracies in census bureau reports.
 In connection with the cotton matter Representative Burleson, of Texas today introduced bill providing for the taE- ing of census of agricultural statistics this year and every tenth year hereafter. The bill calls for census of the number of farms. their acreage, and percentage of farms owned by their occupants, live stock and values, acreage of cotton. corn, wheat rye and sugar.

Consumption is Enormous.

New York, January sl.-The Iron Age tomorrow will say
 Consumption is proceeding at an enor- nous rate and it is believed that the majority of producers of finished iron and steel are very much in the position of the United States Steel corporation with it's orders of 7.eOO,OO0 tons. Manu- lecturers in all branches of the finished trades are prorating shipments It is un- derstood that wire makers have been unable to accumulate the stocks with which they generally endeavor to enter the spring season. and that the stocks of tin plate and sheetmakers are at 4 low ebb
 Favored by open weather, production is proceeding at an enormous rate Some mills have been running right along to catch up but Sunday productive work is to be stopped While nothing of a special moment has developed in the pig iron trade, and the central west is rather quiet. the volume of current business is maintained with inquiries at hand for the second half of the year
 Sales of steel rails during the week aggregate about s0.0oO tons among them being 2s0OO.000 tons for the New Haven road. 10.000 tons additional for the South ern Pacific. 12,000 tons for a trolley sxs- tenn at Los Angeles. 5000 tons for fhe Central Illinois Construction companv. 5000 tons additional for the Atlantic Civ railroad. and $500 tons for a Utah trolley system.
 The structural trade is facing bright future. It Is estimated that 100000 tons of steel will be required for buildings now

MANY PROJECTS ON FOOT
Conditions Indicate That Building .op- erations This Spring Will Be as Strong as During the
 Mild Winter.

Cleveland, O.. January 31.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review in its current is- sue, says:
 The strongest feature of the market is the tremendous demand for structural material, while not a less interesting con- dition, perhaps because somewhat perplex- ing. is presented by pig iron.
 On account of the very large amount of building which has been done during the favorable weather this winter, 1t has been supposed that the demand for buld- ing operations to be started in the spring might not be so strong, but all indications show that this will not be true. The pro jects now in the hands of Chicago arr chitects and contractors call for fully 75.- GOO tons of structural material not n- cluding the very extensive plans of the United States Steel corporation. for the new works at Telleston, Ind New build ings in New York city will demand 10000 tons of steel. On the Pacific coast 25,- coo tons will be required in the near fu- ture. while Pittsburg. Cleveland and other cities have extensive plans for improve ments. Although the buying of pig iron in the east Is not quite as active, the market Is strong
 In the central west there is an increas- ing tendency on the part Of buyers to defer placing orders because of their be- lief that lower prices will prevail and while a few weeks ago 1t was easy to sell for the second half delivery. that is not now the case.
 Southern No. 2 foundry is more freely offered at s14 Birmingham. although some producers are quoting $14.50. The Chicago market is quiet and signs of weakness have disappeared. In the central west. elsewhere. no fear Is expressed on the part of sellers that this condition will continue
