COURT IPHOLDS
 ANTI-FUTURE ACT
State Has Right to Determine What Constitutes Gambling -Bncket Shops Can Be Shut Out Like Persons
 With Contagious Diseases.

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-In the
 United States Circuit Court, Judge
 Trieber handed down his decision
 today in the case involving the coastitutionality of the act of
 the late General Assembly of this state absolutely prohibiting all contracts for iutures on margins making the posting of quotations prima facie evidence of viola
 ton of the act.
 The decision has been awaited with great interest, not only by the people of this state, but by many brokers iu New York, Chi cago and New Orleans, as this is the first decision of Federal Court on that class of legislation which has lately been enacted by the legislatures of most of the states at the request of the Farm CTS Union.
 It holds that the state has the right under the police powers to determine what shall constitute gambling and prohibit such act, and the courts will not review or pass upon the wisdom of such legislative acts, unless 1t appears plainly that the statute purport- ing to have been enacted to pro- tect the public morals, health or safety of the people, has no real or substantial relation to those objects, or is palpable invasion of rights secured by the funda- mental law of state or nation. This statute is declared not to be of that nature.
 It was also held that even if plaintiffs had, under the previous law, a right to conduct such busi- ness, and in reliance thereon ex- pended large sums of money fit- ting up offices, or entered into contracts involving a large ex- penditure of money, the state has tke power to prohibit them carry ing on their business if injurious to public morals; and that there is nothing in the constitution of the United States 10 prohibit the exercising of power, citing cases in which similar laws have been upheld as we'll as acts of the state repeating lottery characters.
 The act that is thus declared constitutional by Judge Trieber of Federal court is known as the Moore Heartsill act, and is de- signed to prohibit all dealing in futures in grain, stocks, cotton or other commodities. It was en- acted by the last legislature and resulted in the closing of several officers in the state. Then the act was attacked by the brokers interests elsewhere on the ground that their rights un- der the privilege of the interstate commerce law were being re- stricted.
 Judge Trieber holds that this is no more of an infringement up- on such rights than it is for a state to refuse admission over an interstate railway to persons af- fected with contagious diseases.

TELLS ANOTHER STORY.
Isaac Reed Says He Was Not Drink
 ing and Did Not Cut Reeves.

The examining trial of Isaac Reed, charged with assault and intent to kill, the charge being preferred by Oscar Reeves, who claims that he was stabbed in the neck by Reed in a difficulty be- tween the two men in this city last Tuesday night, came up for hear ing before Squire Sam H. Smith Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
 After hearing the evidence Mir. Smith took the matter under ad- visement until Monday.
 Reed Makes Statement.
 Ia reference to the difficulty Mir. Reed gives different version from that obtained from the of. fcers, which appears in m article on the third page of this issue. He says:
 "Thad Reid and myself both hold commissions as deputy sher- if. We were in Mena last Tues day night but neither of us was intoxicated. During the torepart of the night Oscar Reeves, with whom 1t IS alleged l had a diff culty, was arrested by the night marshal and later released on condition that he would go home. In company with a friend Reeves started for home. Shortly after. terward Thad Reid and myself heard pistol shots in the direction taken by Reeves. Thinking per haps he was dotng the shooting we started to investigate. Near the Randolph barn on De Queen street we came in sig ht of Reeves aud his friend and discovered that they were not the ones doing che shooting,
 "As we passld by them Reeves began to curse aud wanted 10 know why we were following them. About this time Reeves struck at Tnad keid and the two men clincAed, Reeves breaking away and ruuning into the street. He fell down anu while in this condition ran out and took hold of him anu placed him under ar rest aud with the assistance of Fhad Reid took, him back to town and turned hIm over to the night marshal. did not strike him and had no knife iu my hand at the tune.
 Il koow nothing about how Reeves received the wound in the neck or by whom ii was inflicted" :"
