REACTION FROM
PROHIBITION WAVE
by Associated PreSs.)

Boston, Mass, Dec. "a reaction
of wave of prohibition which last
year swept over Massachusetts, in the
elections in fourteen cities Tuesday
sent four of them-Fall River, New
Bedford, Marlboro and Gloucester
back into the license column, while
Haverhfll alone, by close vote,
turned over to no license Fitchburg,
Lawrence, Northampton, Pittsfield
Springfield and Taunton remain in the
license column, while Brockton, Quin-
cy and Waltham continue no license
as a result of the days voting.
The most notable turnover in the
mayoralty contests was at Springfield,

elected a Democratic mayor, Edward

CUMBERLAND Wins
INJUNCTION SUIT

Louisville, Ky. Dec. Gin a decis-
ion given by Judge Walter Evans, of
the United States court, yesterday in
the injunction suit of the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company
against the city of Louisville to re-
strain the city from repeating the
charter under which the company has
been operating, the court holds that
the company is entitled to it's charter
and that only the state legislature can
deprive the corporation of it's rights.
The decision is a distinct victory
for the telephone company. The Cum
berland company several years ago
consolidated with the Ohio Valley
Telephone Company, which was oper-
ating under charter granted by the
state legislature. A year ago the city
council passed a repeating ordinance,
the effect of which was to declare
that the Cumberland company must
either buy new franchise or quit
business in the city of Louisville. The
company brought suit in the United
States court to enjoin the city from
enforcing it's ordinance. Judge Evans
granted temporary injunction, and
in his opinion made the injunction
perpetual The case will be appealed.

Jackson, Dec "a somewhat re.

Jail sentence of 80 days and a fine OF

At the time of his first arrest six
men were required to do the work,
and when Deputy Sheriff w. B. Kelley.
of Sharkey county, left here with the
prisoner yesterday he was not only St
curely handcuffed, but chained by the
ankles as well. At the union station
those who saw him were positive that
he was at least murderer.
When he was arrested yesterday the
two officers were together. One of
them had pistol in his face, ana
when he turned to run the other had
another weapon pressed close up

1t is now stated that the plans for the
management OF the Franklin Fire Insur-
ance Company under the new control in
clude an increase in the capital stock
from $4,000 to 100000 The authorized
capital Of the company is $3.50 900, but
only one-half has been put out up to this
time. The additional three thousand
shares are to be issued to stockholders as
stock dividend, and the capital re-
quirement will be represented by money
taken from the surplus. The net surplus,
as given in the year 1903, was 1921, 773.
1t is further stated that 1t Is the inten-
ton to issue policies, especially on risks
outside Of the District. which will be
based on the capital and surplus Of the
Franklin and the Potomac, the control OF
the latter being in the same ownership.
In other words. 1t will be a joint policy
based on the 100000 Of capital Of the
two companies when the increase Is made
in the Franklin and the surplus Of the
two companies.
In this way it is expected that the re-
quirement for getting business, namely
large resources. will In a measure be sat
isfied. AS it is proposed to preserve the
identity Of the two companies, local bust
ness will continue to be done by the in
dividual concerns.
