NO DECISIONS
THIS SUMMER
LIQUOR LAW WILL NOT BE
FINALLY DECIDED UNTIL
AUTUMN.
Supreme Court Win Make No Rul-
ings at This Tenn of Court in
County Option Law.

indianapolis, june 2s.-It has been
definitely decided that the Indiana SUI
preme court will hand down no de-
cislons concerning the county option
iaw before it reconvenes after its
summer vacation. which begins July
1. In the case of the State VS.. Nc
Pherson, appealed from the Hamilton
circuit court, and Involving the con-
stitutionality of the law, the attorneys
for MCPHERSON asked that a decision
be reserved until October, and the
state, agreeing to the dehy asked
that al the cases concerninR the law
be delayed also.
The case attracting the most at
tentfon at this time as that OF the
state vs. Gilbert Williams. IN which
IS questioned the meaning of the
phrase, after the passage OF this act
Williams, who lives in Wabash, OBJ
tanned a license between the time
Governor Hanly signed the county
option act, September &c, 1908, and
the time the law became effective,
November 20.
The contention of Wililams' attor-
neys is that any license issued prior
to November 20 must run through
out the year, even if county option
election resulting dry, intervenes
before the license period runs ont. In
Williams case county option eiec-
tion was held, and. according to the
contention of the attorneys for he
state, his license had expired before
April 12, on which date he sold LIQUOR
and was arrested.
1.-Two minor cases, one from Mont
gomery county and one from Mobiles
vile, are also before the court.

The order issued by General Perry
KNOWN as General Order No. is as
follows:
l. Investigation having shown
that there is not sufficient balance in
the appropriation, which expires Sep
tentber 80 to hold ten days camp,
less than which would be Improbable
in every way, the annual encampment
OF the Indiana national guard for this
year will be omitted

directed to take advantage of the
postpone1nent, by providing the Off
GERS of the guard with service over
coats and other necessary articles
OF tHlnform before the expiration OF
the appropriation.
simultaneously with the foregoing
order will be ISSUED an order calling
the camp OF instruction for the bat
terry boys and militia medical officers.
The expense for these two camps is
borne. by the government The militia
medical officers will attend the camp
OF instruction at Sparta, Wis, July

that the appropriation for the depart

OF enough to linance the camp for the
required ten days. ga less number
OF days woafld be out OF considera-

tine OF instruction can not be made

there was nothing to do but forego

is due to the change by Legislative
act on the date for the close of the
states fiscal year from December 81
10 September 30. This makes the de-
partment appropriation cut short 3
