GREAT VICTORY.
National Grand Master w. O. Graves
Title to Office Sustained. $3.50

National Grand Master w. O. Graves
Title to Office Sustained.
1t will be remembered that there
was some contention between w. A.
Gaines and Walter M. Farnum as to
which was the legally elected Nation
al Grand Master of the United Broth
ers of Friendship at the last Triennial
|held in Lexington, KY. The national
executive board met some time after
the adjournment of the National
Grand lodge at Louisville, KY, and
sustained the election of Gaines and
expelled Farnum from the order.
Whereupon Farnum bought suit in
the district court of Washington, Tex,
to establish the legality of his claim
to the office of National Grand Master.
The case was decided in Farmers
favor. Gaines then appealed to the
Court of Appeals where he won his
sweeping victory as the following let
ter will verify:
Texarkana, Tex, May G, 1909.
Mr.. F. H. Prendergast,
Marshall, Tex.
Dear Sir:
The court today decided the case
OF Gaines, ct al, VS.. Farmer ct al, re-
versing and Diminishing the case. The
opinion is by Judge Hodges, and he
helds that the district court of Har-
rison County had no jurisdiction Of
the controversy between Farmer and
Gaines; in fact, fully sustains our con-
tention that, inasmuch as no pccun-
larry value is attached to the Offices in
question, that the court should not
have inquired into rhe validity of the
election at Lexington. The decision
is a sweeping one and the effect Of it
is that a general demurrer should
have been sustained to both Farm
er's original and supplemental pcti-
lions. congratulate you upon the
result
Very respectfully,
(SignedJ J. q. Elahaffy,
| Atty for PLAINTIFF.
This is highly gratifying to State
Grand Master Dillingham;. as it pre-
cludes the possibility of any contest
or trouble at the coming meeting of
the National Grand Lodge in st: Paul.
And he desires to express his thanks
and gratitude to all the members of
the order who supported MIN in his
stand for National Grand Master
Gaines. And he appeals to all that
we work as one for the. grand meet
| ing in July.

ANOTHER LIQUOR DECISION
HIGH COURT SAYS 1T CAN'T BE
KEPT IN BUSINESS PLACES.
Out of Fifty-Five Decisions One
Third of Them Deal With Viola
tiOnS of Prohibition Law.

ATLANTA, Cain a decision
handed down to day in the Morris
Cohen and Sam Loeb cases from the
Fulton county criminal court the
Court of Appeals held that it is a
criminal act to keep liquor on ones
business premises, entirely ire
spective of the purpose for which it
is kept.
To show that the said liquor is
kept for sale, the court declares, is
entirely irrelevant and immaterial to
the proof of the accusation. The
opinion in part is as follows:
THE prohibition statute of 1907
declares that it shall not be lawful
for any person to keep on hand at
his place of business any intoxicating
liquor. The criminal act is the keep
ing on hand and it is wholly imma-
terial for what purpose that intoxi-
eating liquor is kept.
Consequently, the accusation
which charged that the defendant did
keep on hand at his place intoxicating
liquors was good in form and sub
stance; and on the trial any evidence
as to the defendants purpose in keep
ing the Intoxicating liquor on hand in
his place of business was irrelevant
and immaterial"
The court holds further that evil
Idence obtained in search of defend
ants place on a search warrant which
is illegally issued or without color of
legal authority is admissible against
him. The judgment of the trial court
in both cases is therefore affirmed.
Judge Russell concurs with his col
leagues in the Loeb case, but writes
"a dissenting opinion in the case of
Cohen. He believes it is going too
far to assert that all evidence as
to the intent of the accused in hav-
ing liquor on his premises should be
excluded as irrelevant. He cites the
possible case of a man who should
remove a friends stock of wines to
his place of business temporarily to
save them from fire. Here, the pur-
pose being merely to furnish a tenn
porary storage to save a friend s
property, Judge Russell holds would
be not only an entirely innocent but
la benevolent purpose, and should be
taken into consideration in the testi-
mony
Out of batch of fifty-fve decis-
ions rendered by the court of ap-
peals today a third of them dealt
with violations of the prohibition
law.

DANGEROUS INVESTIGATIONS.
Now Being Undergone by a Number
of Devoted English Scientists.


Devoted scientists have been I'M
dergoing mild martydom inside a
formidable, boiler-like device at the
college attached to the London, Eng
land, Hospital. Lying at full length
in an iron tomb they are enduring
air pressures greater than those pre-
vailing at the lowest depths that di-
vers have attained.
For eight or ten hours on end the
experimenter lies on his back, occa-
sionally noting his symptoms and
Willing away the time by telephon-
ing to friends in the outer world
a few inches away, while the air in
side is pressing upon him at 40 or
so pounds to the square inch. Once
the scientist is inside the boiler a
pump worked by the engine grad
ually increases the air pressure till
the subject cries enough" through
the telephone.
An important point which has been
elucidated by these experiments is
that the poisonous factor in the at
mosphere, nitrogen, is absorbed five
times faster by the fat than by any
other tissue in the body, and that
therefore fat men are peculiarly un-
suited to act as divers working in
compressed air caiSsOns.

HISTORIC PLACE BURNED.
Destruction of Famous Old Living
stOn Manor House.


Fire supposed to have caught from
burning leaves a few days ago de-
stroyed Idele, the famous old manor
house where dwelt Chancellor Rob-
ert R. Livingston when he admins
tered the oath of Office to President
Washington. The estate is a few
miles up Hudson river from New
York city.
With the mansion were consumed
great many valuable relics of Co
lonial days and beautiful specimens
of antique furniture, much of which
had been brought from Europe. The
loss, aside from the intrinsic value
of the homestead, is immense, and
because of associations Connected
with the destroyed articles may not
be reckoned in money. The house
was insured.
'Idele" was built by Chancellor
Livingston in 1885, just at the con-
clusion of the Revolutionary war.

EvertOn'S Defense.
Everton has employed counsel and
will fight the case. 1t has been sug-
gested that he will make the novel
plea that the man was still alive
when the autopsy was performed,
citing various cases of suspended ami
nation as proof of this. Duncan
Quackenbosh of Columbia University,
leading authority on hypnotism,
said this afternoon that it was case
Of suspended animation, and that an
autopsy should be made with caution
or perhaps deferred until there was
no possibility of life.
Eight physicians assisted in per-
forming the autopsy, and they issued
a signed statement at its close stat
ing that death was due to rupture
of the aerta. This indicated, accord
ing to the coroner, that death pri-
marily was due to natural causes, and
that the man probably had been suf-
fering for some time from aneurism.
Death was practical instantaneous,
and probably occurred just as Simp-
son was coming out of the trance.
Whether the strain he was put under
when Everton stood on his body dur
ing his rigidity caused the rupture
cannot be ascertained. The result
of the autopsy will more than likely
bring about Everton's release on bail.
