Az to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Judge Graves did not take up the
question of the constitutionality of the
local option law. He maintained that
this proposition has no bearing on the
question involved in the application
for a writ of prohibition

JUDGE TURNS
DOWN PETITION
IN LIQUOR CASE
Denies a Writ of Prohibition
Against the City Clerk, as
Act is Already Done.
QUESTION GOES ON BALL0l
Court Says Constitutionality of Loca
Option Law Has No Bearing
on Matter at Bar.

Judge r. G. Graves this morning in
the circuit, court save his decision on
the application for a writ of prohibi-
ton, to prevent the city clerk from
submitting the liquor question to 4
vote at the spring election, and denied
the application for the writ. This
means that the question will so TO Il
vote.
The questions of fact raised by the
petition to the circuit court may later
be brought before the county court in
the form of a contest, should the pro
hibition carry
The court gave a lengthy opinion on
the ease, and discussed in detail the
problems of law presented by the pro
ceedings He summed up his conclu-
sicns in the ease as follows.
CIeri. Had jurisdiction.
The clerk had jurisdiction to ex-
anime The petition as to its suficiency.
He did not exceed his jurisdiction
Whether the city clerk rightly deter
mined the question before him the
court has no. power TO investigate.
The city clerk has already perform
ed the acts relative 10 the petition
which are Of a judicial character. and
he can not be prohibited from perform
iig them.
The only act remaining is the for
NAL printing of the ballots and the
submission of the proposition to a
vote, and this is a purely ministerial
act, and thus not one for the proven
tion OF which a writ of prohibition
would lie
The applicants for the writ of pro-
hibition do not show in their petition
that they have a right involved
The writ of prohibition is not the
proper remedy,
Suggests u Contest.
Concluding his discussion of each Of
these different phases, TIE judge took
up the matter of the proper remedy,
and held that TO issue writ of prohi-
bition might, work an ,irreparable in
jury TO those who asked to have the
matter submitted to vote, while on
the other hand, the election could
work no irreparable injury 10 those
financially interested even if the elec-
ton should be Illegal and the petition
have been insufficient He suggested
the contest of the legality of the elA,-
ton in the county court later as the
proper remedy for the applicants if the
election is for the creation of anti
saloon territory and is based on ir-
regular proceedings.

Attempt to Blow up Another
Monarch--Sh Shah of Persia
this Time.

L
this Time.
Teheran, Persia, Feb. 29.-An
attempt was made in this city
this afternoon to assassinate the
Shah of Persia by a bomb. His
Majesty was not hurt. Three
of the outriders who were accom-
panying him at the time were
killed.
The Shah owes his life to the
precautions taken to protect him
from just such an attempt. He
was on his way to q nearby town
where he intended to pass few
days. The procession had left
the palace and was traversing a
narrow street when two bombs
were hurled down at it from the
roof of a house. One exploded
in the air but the other struck
the ground near the Shah's au-
tomobile. This missile in ex-
ploding killed the three outrid-
ers, wounded the chauffeur and
a score of bystanders and shatter-
ed the vehicle. The Shah, how
ever, was not in his automobile.
He had taken precaution to send
the motor car on ahead and ride
himself in a carrigge further in
the rear of the procession. The
motor car was a closed one and
it was thought the sovereign was
inside.
The house from which the
bombs were thrown and the
buildings nearby were searched
but no arrests were made.
