ANOTHER TANGLE In
DISPENSARY CASE

ASHEVILLE, n. c., April 14.-An
interesting situation has followed the
expiration of the period of four days
allowed by United States Judge Pritch-
ard to the State Commissioners to file
their supersedeas bond in the dis
pensary cases. 1t is now the duty OF
the receivers appointed by Judge
pritchard to wind up the dispensary
affairs to make a demand upon the
State Commissioners for the trust
fund and collateral. These are locked
in the State Treasurer's safe and that
official is absent from the State.
Judge Pritchard is understood to be
acting in harmony with the views OF
Chief Justice Fuller, of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, in fact
having today received a letter from
him relative to this subject, so that
it may fairly be expected that In
case of further conflict between the
United States Circuit Court and the
State Court and officials in this mat
ter, Judge Pritchard is assured of the
support Of the highest tribunal in the
land.

men, policemen, Deputy Sheriffs and
special officers rushed to their head
quarters and at o'clock 10 men
were marching double quick time to
the depot Following them was the
gatling gun detachment, and at $50
o'clock the train pulled out, amid
cheers from the excited crowd that
had gathered at the depot.
In addition to the Jacksonville com

State militia service was ordered to

TO SAFEGUARD
INJUNCTION EVIL
REPORTED FAVORABLY BY SEN
ATE JUDICIARY CoMITTEE.
THREE JUDGES.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-To meet
conflicts between Federal courts and
State authorities, such as have arisen
during the past year in Minnesota,
North Carolina, Alabama and other
States, the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary today reported a bill direct
ing the method of procedure in cases
where an effort is made in the Federal
courts to enjoin State officials from
enforcing State laws. The bill is a
compromise between measures intro
duced by Senators Overton, Bacon and
the late Senator Bryan, of Florida,
and was reported by Mr.. Overman.
1t has created much attention at the
hands of the committee, and is in
tended not only to lessen the ire
ouency of injunctions in such cases,
but to modify and soften the process
when it Is resorted to. 1t prohibits
any one Federal judge from granting
such an injunction, but requires that
all applications for such orders shall
be heard by at least three Federal
Judges, two of whom shall be circuit
Judges, while the third may be either
a circuit or a district Judge. It also
requires at least five days notice to
the State authorities and grants APP
peal to the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR BATTLESHIPS
IN SPECIAL MESSAGE PROVISION
FOR FOUR NEW ONES
rs URGED.
A MEASURE TO INSURE PEACE
Necessary to Secure The Nation
Against an Possible Dangers
At Any Point.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Com-
pressed into what would not be more
than a ten-minute speech on the floor
Of Congress. President Roosevelt today
urged that body in a special message
to prC .ide for the construction of four
battleships of the largest and most
approved type at once. The message
follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: Let me again urge up
on the Congress the need of providing
for four battleships of the best and
most advaDc ed type at this session.
Prior to the recent Hague confer
ence it had been my hope that an
agreement would be reached between
the different Nations to limit the in
crease of naval ornaments, and espe-
cially to limit the size of warships.
Under these circumstances I felt that
the construction of one battleship
year would keep our navy up to its
then positive and relative strength.
But actual experience showed not
merely that it was impossible to OBJ
tain such an agreement for the liml-
tation of ornaments among the va
rious leading powers, but there was
no likelihood whatever of obtaining
il in the future within any reasonable
time.
"Coincidentally with this discovery
occurred a radical change in the build
ing of battleships among the great
military Nations-a change in acord-
ance with which the most modern bat
ships have been or are being con-
structed of size and armament which
doubles or more probably trebles their
effectiveness. Every other naval Ma
ton has, or. is, building a number OK
ships of this kind; We have provided
for but two, and therefore the balance
of power is moving against us. Un-
der these conditions to provide for
but one or two battleships year Is
| 10 DTOVIu6 tHat thlS AN""tNeAi 'H"V~NN
advancing, shall go backward In naval
| rank and relative power among the
great nations. Such course would
be unwise for us If we fronted merely
on one ocean, and 1t is doubly unwise
| when we front on two oceans
"As Chief Executive OF the Nation
and as commander-in-chief of the
| navy, there is imposed upon me the
solemn responsibility of advising the
Congress- of the measures vitality
necessary to secure the peace and
welfare Of the Republic in the event
of international complications which
are even remotely possible. Having
in view this solemn responsibility
earnestly advise that the Congress
now provide four battleships Of the
most advanced type.
II can not too emphatically say that
this is a measure of peace and not OF
war"
