PROHIBITION TALK
THE SELMA AUTHORITIES REVOKE
NEAR BERR LICENSE.


Selma, March 30.-(Special. 1.-THE
city authorities this morning revoked
the licenses which on January ! had
been issued to F. v. Elder for near
beer and soft drink establishment at
the corner of Water and Washington
streets. Immediately upon the revok- :
ing of the licenses Mr.. Elder closed his
place OF business and 1t Is very prom
able that he will not seek to have the
licenses issued again.
Like many other places In Selma
shortly after January l Mr.. Elder TOOK
out licenses for the operation OF near
beer" establishments but since his ar
rest and trial In the City Court OF
Selma some weeks ago, wnen the sem
ing of f"near beer" was ruled as u
violation of the State prohibition laws
neither he, nor any OF the other estap-
lishments. have been selling neaT
beer" This case is still pending In
the Supreme Court and the dealers OF
the beer substitute are awaiting tine
decision Of that court before tney
begin to sell near beer" again
In revoking Mr.. Elders licenses TINS
morning no statement was made ny
the city authorities as to why such
steps were taken. 1t Is believed that
Mr.. Elders licenses were revoked pc
cause of his employment OF negro
man. WHY Lyman. who since the nrst
of the year has been arrested two or
three times for violations Of the pro-
hibition laws.
The negro. WHY Lyman. was en-
ployed by Mr.. Elder to wait upon ne
gro customers in the negro department
of his soft drink establishment. In
two or three times that the negro has
been arrested for violating the prohipi-
ton laws 1t has been conclustvely
proven that the exchange OF wnlskey
for money either took place on the
sidewalk In front Of the place where
the negro worked or close by. The
city does not claim that Mr.. Elder
knew or had knowledge that the ne
gro had been selling whiskey but
thought 1t best to revoke the licenses
which had been issued.

NEW MOVE AGAINST HUGHES.
The Senate May Hold Up The Cook Ap.
poirtment.

Albany. NJ ~, Feb. 2.-I4egislative OPP
position to Governor Hughes will focus
this week on the question of confirming
Herbert s. Cook az the Democratic
member Of the state highway commits
sion---a question which viii come mp
again with the meeting Of the Senate
finance committee on Tuesday. 10 pre-
vent this there appears to be about as
open combination of Democrats and
Republicans, under the leadership Of
Senators Grady Rainas and Aids, d.
events have produced here in many
years. And anti-Hughes men are pre-
dieting iubilantly now that the Senate
will refuse to confirm Mr.. Cook Just
when they haven't decided yet--thus
TO give the governor another black
eye.
For nearly month now the nominal
ton OF Mr.. Cook has been held up To
permit Senator Grady to investigate
Mr.. Cooks Democracy" For eonsid
cradle part Of that time the Senate H.
nance committee has had before it ma
tcrial certifying to Mr.. Cooks Demo
craey from the chairman and secretary
Of the Democratic county committee of
Jefferson county, from various promi-
nent Democrats living there whose
Democracy up to date has not been
challenged. documents showing that in
1908 Mr.. Cook was a good enough Dem
ocrat to preside over the county con
ycntion, More than that, the commit
tee has had material from every enroll
ed Democrat in Mr.. Cocks town, de-
cla+ing that nobody there ever would
think Of questioning his Democracy.
But Mr. Cook voted for Taft and
Hughes, and even displayed their pie
lures in his windows says Senator
Grady. Mr.. Cook admits that he did
lie even asserts it unblushinaly and de
clares that neither he nor his neighbors
regard that act as having made him less
Of Democrat. If Mr.. Cook is not
Democrat we should be violating the
spirit of the statute if we confirmed
him, riding roughshod over the protests
Of the Democrats" argue some of Sena-
tor Grady's Republican assistants.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2.--The Turko-

acceptance Of a plan proposed by Russia
which reconciles in novel manner the
Turkish claim Of l20.OO0000 francs

cordance with the Berlin treaty OF 1878

is satisfied. Russia win collect instead
