All of the cotton damaged by the Ire on the British steamer Diadem has been unloaded and is now ashore, be- ing placed east of the Louisville and Nashville wharves. Two hundred bales were damaged by the blaze. and this amount has been discharged, the last of the cotton being taken out this morning.
 The damaged cotton will remain in the open until all chance for fire ex- isting has passed when 1t will be placed on deck of the steamer and sent to Bremen. The loss will be heavy, not only on account of the cotton damaged by fire, but also the delay of the steamer which should now be at sea. She will probably be delayed ten day or more.

be wakened, when he heard her voice,
high and strained.

Suit Against Dispensary Commission
for $1,000 Heard-The Claims
Made.
Columbia State. Goth.

Columbia State, Goth.
In Richmond yesterday Attorney
General Lyon opened argument be-
fore Judge Pritchard of the United
States district court in the injunc-
ton proceedings brought by Garrett
& Co. of Norfolk. Va, and Weldon,
\. c.. in which claims in the hands
Of the state dispensary COMMISSION
are tied up. The arguments will be
concluded some time today and the
decision Of the court will be awaited
with much interest on account OF the
100000 involved in other claims
now in the hands Of this commission.
It will be recalled that some days
ago the wine firm Of Garrett & Co.
applied to Judge Pritchard for a
temporary injunction, holding up all
payments until the Garrett claims
could be heard. This paper states
that about $1,000 is due the firm by
the commission and it is alleged that
although several offers have been
made the commission for a settle
ment. all Of taem have been refused
and that the commission shipped back
to Norfolk several thousand dollars
worth Of wines which have been re-
fused and are not fit for use.
The answer filed by the attorney
general and Mr.. W. F. Stevenson, the
attorney for the commission, says
that the commission decided to nold
up all claims against the dispensary
until further evidence, wanted on ac-
count Of the prosecutions that may
follow, is produced and that no in
tention Of defrauding the debtors of
their just dues has been intimated.
The answer further states in many
instances the firm bringing the suit
mas not complied with the law and
filed the proper bonds required I'M
der the old law and therefore is en-
titled to no consideration.
The last clause in the answer rails
es the right Of jurisdiction in the
United States court as applied to this
case and the decision Of the judge
along this line will be awaited with
interest by the commission.
The wine firm alleged that the ap-
peal was made in the United States
court because of the fact that the
commission would claim that the firm
had no right to sue the agents Of the
state.
A special from Richmond yester-
day says:
"Attorney General Lyon Of South
Carolina opened argument before
Judge Pritchard in the United States
district court nere today on the in
junction Of Garrett & Go. against the
South Carolin dispensary commission.
The commission is represented by At
torney W. E. Douglas of North Car
DINA. General Lyon will conclude
his argument tomorrow morning, CON-
mencing at 10 o'clock for the COM
mission. The purpose Of the injunc-
ton is to force the dispensary COM
mission to repay damages resulting
from the closing of the dispeasary.
The damages are estimated between
$4,000 and $1,000. The case will be
concluded probably tomorrow"

 tioned for President,

New Britain. July 10.-Rev John J. Elty, president of the c. T. A. U. of Connecticut, has issued the call for the convention to be held in Tor rington, August 1920.
 Rev NJ. A. Sullisan of Hartford, formerly of Kensington, is being prominently mentioned for presi- dent of the union, as there seems to be a strong following for him in all the societies which comprise the union, particularly in New Haven. where he served as a curate. He is a strong advocate of total abstinence and upon the occasion of the dedica- tion of the Dr Carmody monument in this city last October he was the principal speaker. Rev Father Sul- livan organized St Paul's Temperance society in Kensington and the Sacred Heart society in East Berlin.
 New Britain is entitled to twenty two delegates in the convention as follows: Y. M. T. A. and B., 12; St Mary's Cadets, 3; St Mary's La dies society. 3: St Joseph's Cadets, ?. and Vice-President John Kelly and County Director P. F. King one each. It is likely that all these votes will be cast for Father Sullivan.
