DECISION AGAINST "DRYS."
Judge Kelly Rules Upon the Alleged
Poll Tax Fraud.

Briston. Va. Aug. Judge Kelly this
afternoon rendered a sweeping decision,
which leaves the "drys" only one leg to
stand on In the local option election test
they have been prosecuting here.
In an opinion CT some twenty-five close
ly typewritten pages, Judge Kelly holds
that the ''drys" cannot go into the ques-
tion Of the alleged payment Of the poll
taxes OF voters by the 'wets. He says
that they had two remedies for the
alleged fraud before the election. and as
they knew as much then as they did
afterward and then failed TO avail them
selves Of every remedy. they cannot now
come into court and assail the correct
ness Of the treasurers list Of persons
who personally paid their poll taxes, as
required by law.
He SAYS that the court must now pre-
sumo that all Of the officers Of the cleo
ton. as well as the treasurer and clerk.
did their duties and evidence cannot now
be introduced to controvert that presump-
tion.
The decision is pronounced by lawyers
here as a fine document from a legal
upon which they can proceed. but Il is
not believed that they will DO so after
losing the cornerstone Of their case
Judge Kelly Will be asked 70 grant LIQUOR
licenses next week.

voyage around the world February 2.
when the head Of the nation and innum-
cradle persons aboard the great feet Of
excursion steamers met them in the
lower bay TO bid them welcome.
To-day not as much as launch went
out TO meet them, only few fishermen
in Lynnhaven Inlet and other beach folk

Baseball games and cared cutter races
galore are promised as a diversion for
the men. And then there will be pugilis-
tic encounters aboardship and many jol-
lifcations ashore.

almost a month and the practice Will be
conducted as nearly as possible under
conditions that would obtain in battle.
