The Boone News Republican expects
that the liquor question will come ur

News-Republican. Neither extreme

it. 1t is not likely that it will %

A DECISION IN THE NAVAL
COURT MARTIAL CASE

Gibraltar, Feb. 4-The court mar
tial which has been trying Captain
Quahrough of the battleshiy Georgia
and who is charged with being intoxi-
Gated at a reception given at Tangier
by the American minister, reached a
decision this afternoon, but the out
come will not be made public until
the findings are approved by Admiral
Sperry, which will probably be before
the fleet sails.
Major Williams, who acted as the
Judge-Advocate, allowed the case to
rest without presenting his conclus-
ions. Lieutenant-C Commander John X.
Robinson, summing up for the defense
argued that Captain QuaItrough was
i'll but not intoxicated. He laid partic-
ular stress upon the abnormal physi-
cal condition of the Captain, which
rendered him peculiarly susceptible to
alcoholic and nicotine poisoning, and
contended he could not be held fes-
ponsib1e for the unexpected effect of
onethird of the quantity of wine that
was drunk by those around him at the
reception. In any event he insisted
that if the specifications were found
to be. true, that Captain Qualtrough
was involuntarily guilty and that his
exceptionally fine record as an officer
entitled him to clemency. QuaItrough
has received many cable messages of
sympathy.

ton memorializing the members of the
Legislature from this district to pass
a bill segregating the taxes of the city

course, out down the amount of collec-
tions of the county collector and there
by lower the salary of the county col
lector and assessor; but Mr.. White
man figures that it would save the tax
payers of the city from 1,500 to $4,000
per year. The resolution was adopted
unanim mously.
