To prevent as far as possible the num-
Der Of Tobberies in New York getting into
the newspapers, only six of the largest
pawnshops are now trusted with the daily
list of stolen articles as printed at police
headquarters. These fists show, however,
that since January / more than 8, Co., 900
worth Of goods has been stolen from the
residents of New York City.
The lists left at the big pawnshops daily
are printed on green paper, and are divided
under the various headings-watches stolen,
diamonds, jewelry, silverware, clothing etc.
They are marked confidential and are
signed by Commissioner Bingham.
The remaining loan shop proprietors,
numbering about 1876 on the east and west
sides of the city. have no lists sent to
them, and for the last six weeks the de-
tectives have ceased to make their daily
rounds to inquire after stolen property. As
a result the majority of the pawnbrokers do
not know whether goods have been stolen
or not. and the public suffers in the end.

VETERANS PROTESTING
Army of Tennessee Censurcs General
Castleman Of Louisiana Devision

At meeting of the Army Of 'Tennes-
see held in New Orleans recently. Gen
eral Chalaron presented a resolution
which was adopted censuing Majo
Genera Castleman for having ignored
the or If of the United Confederate
Vcteral Reunion held at Monroe. La.
in Octd er. nths order there was pro
vided a call for convention at which
to elect major General but i'll
special order of January 9. 1909. Gen
,ral Castleman informed the Louis ar
Division thu, lie intended to rena'n in
office until the next annual reunion OF
the Louisiana Division, unless requested
by quorum of the camps to call con
vention.
To the protests of the Army of Ten
ncssee others are joined. General Chal-
aron and other Veterans qualified this
action of the Major General as gross
usurpation of power. tending to perpet-
uate himself in office, to the detriment
of the organization, and to foment dis
cord in the ranks of the Louisiana Di-
vision of the U. c. V.
A committee comprising General
Chalaron. Lewis Guion and J. W.
GAMES with the request that other camps
appoint similar committees. are directed
to make a report on what action should
he taken.
At the Monroe Reunion there was no
quorum and no business could be trans
acted. The election of the General was
postponed.
In December last meetin OF the
Staff of the Louisiana Devision was held
| in the St. Charles Hotel in New Or
LEANS, at which, as reported in the P'ca-
vune. "by decisive majority it was re-
| solved to address the commanding OF
hcers of all the camps nqu'r'ng what
was best to be done, whether to call an
other reunion or to await the next an
nual meeting A large majority of th'
commanders of camps replied in favo
lof having the Major General hold ove'
until the next regular reunion. and
another meeting Of the Staff this fac
was made known and accepted by
large majority of those present.
This explanation may be satisfactory
but when Confederate Veterans of tn
Chalaron type protests, their complain
is not idle, but is significant. 1t is to b
regretted that dissensions have engen

THE YOST CASE
Judge Fullilove's Opinion Based on
Whether the Beverage Sold Was Spir-
itous or Intoxicating

The anticipated opinion of Judge Full
lilove of the City Court was rendered
this morning in the case Of J. J. Yost.
who was arrested recently, being
charged with selling spiritous or intoxi-
eating liquor.
The beverage sold is known and Ia
beled Silver Spray" and Golden
Drops and is manufactured in a distil-
lery in New Orleans for sale in prohi
bition districts
The District Attorney representing the
State contendcd that "Silver Spray" and
Golden Drops" as being spurious un-
der the prohibition law, the defendant $
attorneys held that as the beverage sold
contained less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol it was not spurious or
Intoxicating and there fore there had
been no violation of law
In an exhaustive and lengthy opinion
in which he is sustained by legal au-
thorities Judge Fulilove decided for the
defendant. In concluding his opinion he
said
"The authorities are Overwhelming to
the effect that the term spurious liquors
only include distilled liquor and not fer
mented liquor.
1T seems that our own legislators re-
cognized this distinction. for it is well
known that section oIo Revised Statutes
originally considered necessary to add
the term Intoxicating in order to in
clude all liquors which would produce
intoxication Again. in Act I76 of 1908
commonly known as the Gay Shattuck
law, it was considered necessary to
specify alcoholic or spurious. vinous or
malt liquors.. showing that the term
spurious was not considered to include
vinous or malt liquor.
The beverage which defendant sold
is shown to be fermented liquor. and
not distilled one, and it therefore does
not come under the term Spurious as
used in Sec. o1o of the Revised Statutes
Defendant therefore is discharged.
