BIG LOOPHOLE IN
 PROHIBITION LAW Fine Point Stated In Julius
 Marks Case DECISION IS REVERSED Conviction Cannot Be Had Until It Is Proven That Liquor Sold Will Cause lntoxicaton-Mayfied
 Writes Decision.
DECISION IS REVERSED

Montgomery, February 1S.-(Special)- In reversing the case of Julius Marx, ap- pealed from the criminal court of Jeffer- son county, the supreme court limits the prohibition of sale of liquors to those products judicially known to be intoxl- eating. As to whether or not others are intoxicating is a question of fact to be de- termined by the jury.
 Marx was charged with selling a drink called mead, and the court gave the gen. eral charge against him. In an opinion written by Justice Mayfield this action is held unwarranted the contention being that the jury had a right to determine upon the effectiveness of the drink to pro duce intoxication.
 In other words, all these products not known to be intoxicating are not prohib- tied by the general prohibition act. The interpretation is that in order to class any one IS such the jury must be con- vinced that if drunk to excess it will produce intoxication. This view, in the opinion of many, will serve to greatly weaken the law, as it will afford a neat loophole for juries to pass over viola tions.

SILVER CITY, Nov.

SHANNON RAILROAD cc9F-hNY
 MEETING WITH OBSTACLES.

CLIFTON, Nov. 1.-The Shannon railroad company s having difficult time in getting it's roadway through the Lcagtellow district. due to the fact that the A. c. company is eHdeaV- bring to carry on work on the Long fellow hill 3. the same time as the railroad work is proceeding. One out it rolls .cck on the other outfit, while the other fellow turns loose a blast that plays thunder with the railroad. To the outside public this matter has furnished considerable comment, but to the engineers and company otii- cials it Eacans a whole lot oS trouble, and there seems to be no end 10 II.
 One night last week the A. c. coli- pany fired 2 blast that knocked cut several bents of the new Shannon rail.oad bridge just above the Long fellow incline and naturally this has caused some doings between the two concerns, with the probability that the Shannon people will abandon the bridge and fill the canyon. This par ticuIar part of the road has been the source of much delay to the Shannon raiIroad.-COpper Era.

PERPLEXING QUESTION
 IS BEFORE COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, Nov. Whether steam railroads shall cooperate phy- sically with electric lines is a ques- tion which has been presented to the interstate commerce commission and which is to be argued in Cincinnati, Ohio, within a few days.
 The case at issue is of unusual i'm portance and significance because up to the present time the steam rail roads of the country have refused ab- solutely to enter into any arrange ments with electric lines for through routes and joint rates, either for freight or for passengers. The law does not explicitly require physical connection between two railroads either steam or electric-but it has been the policy of the commission in interstate business to require such connection to be made between two steam roads, where the conditions ap- pear to demand or even to warrant
