 Withdxawn,

Samson, Sept. s.--(Spscial. )--The ar- rest of Mayor Gresham yesterday on charge of embexzlement and subse- quent arrest today on a charge of forgery and his bond fixed at Ss.o00 and S5,Ooo. respectively, proved . sem sation of short duration as upon ex- animation of the evidence the warrants were withdrawn for want of prossou- tion. itss ssete
 Mayor Gresham says that in the first case the charge of embezzlement is that 1t arose from unearned and un- collected premiums on cancelled insur- ance policies of a company represented by him.

The papers for the loan were properly drawn up and the transac- ton was entirely legitimate.
 The warrant charging forgery. May or Gresham says. was presented to the woman to sign as a statement. and not a warrant. She had. he said. previous ly testified that he was authorized by her to loan this money.

DRAGO SEIzES / MOBILE BOOZE Fixtures in One Place
 Destroyed. PROMINENT MEN ON LIST Governor Still Pursues Gulf City
 People.
 - County Jail is Store House for . Great Quantity of Beer and
 whiskey-Omcer. Are
 Active.

Mobile. Sept. S.-(Special)-Exec ing a writ of seizure sworn out in the Chancery Court by State Solicitor Stall- worth. Sheriff John s. Drago with dep uties this afternoon searched the place of John Smith. formerly known as the Palm Saloon on North Royal street and though but one small quantity of H. quor was found the fixtures in the place were torn down and confiscated by the sheriff.
 Tonight Sheriff Drago with a launch went up the river in search of the Steamer Caloosa on which 1t Is said smiths liquors were kept.
 The raid on the Bienville Brewery last night coupled with the raid to- day of the Palm Saloon which was wit messed by hundreds of people, has started much talk and 1t is said that Sheriff Drago has had the enforcement of the prohibition law put up to him and Is enforcing 1t to the letter.
 T know positively" said a promin- ent Law and Order League member this afternoon, that the Governor has been advised that the laws are not beihg enforced in Mobile. and do not doubt that this information to the Governor Is responsible for the renew ed activity on the part of the sheriff. as the Governor communicated with the sheriff on receiving the informa- ton as to lack of law enforcement"
 Sheriff Drago being on the launch up the river in search of the steamer CaIoosa could not be found to verify the rumor that the Governor had in structed him to enforce the laws.
 Late tonight the sheriff had not re- turned from his hunt for the steam- CT.
 The task of hauling thirty-nine casks of beer and ninety dozen loose bottles secured in an investigation by Sheriff Drago and forces at the Bien- vile Brewery last night, was today completed and the large quantity of li- quor is held at the Mobile county jail being stored away in an unused DOT ton of the building.
 While no arrests have as yet been made charged with keeping the beer on the premises Sheriff Drago states that arrests of officials of the com pany will follow.
 Prominent men are among the on- clals Of the company and their arrest will probably cause somewhat of A sensation. It is said that a test of the law will result from this arrest.
 A tinse of excitement was added to the raid at Smiths today when Sem ator Max Hamburger, Jr, and Sheriff Drago mixed in a wordy war. several hundred people hearing the argument which for a time waxed warm.
 The words started when Senator Hamburger, who had arrived upon the . scene and addressing the sheriff said that he would not have his (Drago's) Job for all the money in Alabama
 The sheriff replied heatedly and the Senator repeated his assertion, one word bringing on another until Sem ator Hamburge was threatened with arrest by the sheriff. The two men were finally made to desist by friends just as the argument was getting warm.

MAY BUILD A JAIL
COMMISSIONERS ARE CONSIDER.
 ING A PLAN.
Florida Law Requires Separate Com- partments for White and Negro Prisoners-New Hotel Is Pre-
 pairing to Sell Liquor.

Pensacola. Fla. Sept. S-(Special.)- A new jail. to cost $75.o0o, is to be erected in this city by the County of Escambia. provided the Board of Coun- ty Commissioners carries out its plans.
 A new jail or an extension of the old one is made imperative by an act of the last Legislature, making 1t com puisory to place white ana negro pris- oners in different compartments. which is not construed to mean separate cells as Is now being done.
 Inasmuch as the present jail is one large room, in which there Is a net work of cells. this cannot be done. so the Commissioners have decided upon a modern jail of three stories. the lower floor being utilized as an office and living quarters for the jailor. as well as for cooking purposes. with the two second floors for prisoners.
 The Board recently paid $7.000 for a site adjoining the present jail build ing, and upon this the new structure will be erected.
