PROHIBITION GETS 4 BLOW
One of Strongest Sections Of State
ProbibitorY Law Declared IN
constitutional in Mobile.

Mobile, Ala, April lO.-One of the
strongest sections of the state prohib-
tory law was declared unconstitutional
today by Justice Mayfeld at Montgom-
cry. The section knocked out prohib-
tied the storing or possession of liquor
in any building or apartment which
was inhabited. Judge Mayfield de-
clared that the statute was in conflict
with the federal bill of rights which
holds that every man'shome is his cas-
tie. He further declared that the search
warrants issue to seize liquor were il
legal and that warrants could be issued
only afterevidence had been discovered
and not on y chance of securing evil
dence.
Under this ruling the hotel and cafe
men whose places were raided few
days ago by prohibition detectives with
search warrants have brought suit TO
set aside the seizures and will sue the
men who instigated the raids.

REPUBLICAN
FIGHTS ON
?. I. DIVINE VS.. 4. ]. TYLER
Several Contests IN East Tennessee
Expected to be Animated
Other Candidates.

The candidates for judge and attor-
ney general in the various circuits of
East Tennessee are beginning to circu-
late among their friends and make
known their claims upon the public for
support.
In the first judicial circuit, Judge A.
J. Tyler, who is serving his first term,
stands for reelection and is being OPP
posed by Maj Paul e. Divine, now
treasurer of the Soldiers Home, located
at johnson City. The circuits large
one and the race promises to be lively,
but SO far Judge Tyler and Maj. Divine
are the only entries in the fight. Judge
Tyler has made good official and his
friends claim he will be hard to beat
but thesupporters of Maj. Divine claim
that his chances for success are at least
equal to those of Judge Tyler. Maj.
Divine is good mixer and one Of the
best orators in upper East Tennessee.
The race for attorney general is quite
different from the fight for circuit judge
as there are at least a half dozen repub-
lican lawyers wanting to succeed At
torney General Dana Harmon, OF
Greeneville, who is candidate for re-
election. The candidates mentioned
are CLERK and Master 0. b. Lovette, OF
Greene County; s, f. N. Moore, Of
johnson City; ex-Mayor d. A. Vines,
of johnson City, who is said to be very
strong with republicans Of tTerural
communities, and Robert Allen, Of
Elizabethton. A number Of Others
have been spoken Of, but SO far have
not made any announcement.

WOMAN BEGGED FORMERCT
Negro is Lynched for Horrible AS
sault Upon a Yong White
Girl at Arcadia, Fla.

Arcadia, April l2.-John Smith, the
negro who late Saturday afternoon at
tempted criminal assault on Miss Mary
+. Ewing two miles from this city, by
dragging her from buggy, was cap
tured here earlyyeSterday morning and
lynched.
The negro was taken from the sheriff
and his deputies at an early hour and
hanged to tree.
The story Of the attempted assault is
as follows: Miss Ewing, who had been
to the city on shopping tour, was re-
turning to her home, four miles from
the city, when the negro attacked her.
The young woman begged, fought and
prayed toithe black fiend to let her go
and offered to give him 500 in cash, if
he would accompany her home, but
this did not stop the brute. Will
Knowles andhis brother, walking some
distance from the scene heard the
screams of the woman and rushed to
her assistance. The brutemade his es-
cape. After taking Miss Ewing to her
home the men rushed to this city,
spread the news, and blood hounds fol-
lowed by posse of three hundred men
were soon on the trail. The negro was
found at tuFpentine camp and taken
before his victim, who positively identi-
fed him. Sheriff Freeman and his
deputies succeeded in placing Smith in
Ejail, but being afraid of an attack, at
tempted to spirit him out Of Arcadia,
when they were met by an automobile
party, held up and forced to give up
the prisoner.
The negro pleaded for mercy, but the
mob carried him tothe edge of the city,
where they strung him mp to a tree.

TYLER TO RETURN
TO BENCH IN MAY

Judge A. J. Tyler will return to Bris-
toll the latter part of April or the begin
ming of May. Acknowledgement Dana
Harmon, close friend Of the judge,
was here from Greeneyille Friday, and
said that he had received letter from
Judge Tayler in which he stated that
he was much improved physically and
would be back in time for the next
round of courts of his circuit early in
May.
The friendship of Acknowledgement
Harmon and Judge Tyler illustrates
how men in politics may become
friends regardless of what has passed
betwe them. The Harmon-Tyler
contest for the judgeship now held by
the latter, some years ago, was one Of
the bitterest political campaigns ever
waged in the state There was more
bitterness and personal luminosity in
jected into it than probably any other
contest ever held in the district. The
contest was so close that the case had
to be carried to the supreme court be
fore il was decided that Judge Tyler
was the winner by very small major
ity; he was given his seat by the higher
court.
Despite the fact that feeling ran high
during the campaign and the contest
in the courts, when later Mr.. Harmon
became attorneys general, the position
he formerly held, succeeding Attorney
General Keefauver, who met tragic
death in Bristol, the men became very
close friends and buried the hatchet.-

not inclined to 60 home, but his
wife finally got him into the wagon
and being angry because he had to
leave the saloon he said to her he
would give her the fastest ride she
ever had, and accordingly put the
whip to the horses and proceeded to
put his threat into execution. His
wife begged him not to drive so fast
and made attempts to jump out but
he held her back each time. Finally
she did jump out but fell beneath
the wheel and was so badly injured
that an abcess formed near the liver
and death ensued. She was but %
years of age.

of T. M. Keefe and party Of ladies
while coming up the Minnesota to

that when about four miles from
North Redwood the boat ran onto q
tree stump, that had been carried
out from sandbar by the current
and at the same time the current
swung the boat sideways. tipping it
so that the water poured in over the
lower side. The GOODNESS of Mr..
Keefe probably saved the party
from drowning. Rushing the occu-
pants to the side of the boat that
was raised up, for the purpose OF
preventing a tipover, and allaying
their fears by assurances of safety,
he set to work himself at dipping
out the water which was fast flow
ing in over the lower edge of the
boat. An hour and fifteen minutes
elapsed before the cries of those in
the launch were heard. when finally
men at work on a road some dis
lance away were attracted by the
noise and one Of them swimming
out with a rope, the party was
safely rescued.
