BRISTOL VETS
WIN CONTEST
DECISION MAY END cASE-JuDGE
KELLY HELD THAT THE
"oRYs" HAD NO STANDING IN
THE COURT.

Bristol, Tenn, Aug. S.-Juige
Kelly yesterday rendered a sweeping
decision, which hardly leaves the drys
leg to stand on. in the local option
election test they have ben prosecut-
ing here.
In ar opinion OF some twenty-five
closely typewriter pages Judge Kelly
holds that the drys can not go into
the question of the alleged payment
of the poll taxes of votes by the vets.
He says that they had two remedies
for the alleged fraud before the elec-
ton, and as they knew as much then
as they did afterward and then failed
to avail themselves of every remedy,
they can not now come into court and
assail the correctness of the treas.
urers list of persons who personally
paid their poll taxes. as required by
law.
He says the court must now pre-
sumo that all of the officers of the
election, as well as the treasurer and
clerk. did their duties and evidence
can not now be introduced to contro-
vert that presumption.
The decision is pronounced by law
yers here as a fine document. from a
legal standpoint
The lrys have one ground upon
which they can proceed. but it is not
believed that they will do sol after
losing the corner stone of their case.
Judge Kelly will be asked 10 grant
liquor licenses next week.

MATTER is REPORTED
To District Attorney sy Well Known
Wall Stree. Broxer--Promses
To Go To The Bottom
OF II.

New York, Aug. S-An investiga
| tion of alleged Irregularities in con
nection with $4,000 loan on secult
| ties valued at 100000, begun this af
ternoon by Assistant District Attor
ney H. T. Marshall was attended with
great activity about the district attor
ney's office and specialized by unusual
precautions to preserve secrecy.
The name Of the Windsor Trust
company, one of the foremost finan.
cial institutions of the city, entered
into the Investigations and was 70
ported in leaks in the chamber, wher,.
the investigation was in progress.
that the trust company had loaned the
$50,000 in question ana was a party
to the investigation,
Interest was aroused by the appear
ance of f. Augustus Heinze, the COP
per operator. as a witness before AS
Isistant District Attorney Marshall.
According to report g man well
known in Wall street wished to negO-
tiate a loan for $4,000 He found
that he could obtain the loan by depos-
iting as collateral security 100000
worth of stocks and by paying 6 per
cent interest
Mystery of affair.
One of the provisions in the trans
action was that the security deposited
could be redeemed and the loan can
celled at any time by payment of the
amount borrowed plus interest at 6
per cent for a year.
Here is where the mystery which
the district attarney,s office Is ca,
deavoring TO clear up comes in. The
borrower heard that the stock ne
thought safely deposited in the strong
box of the lender was being hawked
about in Wall street, Gnd as the stock
VISA easily identified rnG was held by
him under certain conditions, its re.
lease Immediately attracted attention.
To get back his stock the borrower
either rendered the amount of the
loan and the interest to the lender and
was unable to obtain his securities or
else called the district attorneys at
tention of the alleged disposition Of
his securities in violation of the
agreement covering the loan In an
endeavor to have the stock withdrawn
from the market.

The announcement of Gov. Brady
that he is in favor of prohibition

perpetrated by the last legislature.
The republican party did not want
the local option and does not now,
neither did the legi-l ,ture which was
pledged to carry out the platform,
including the local option plank.
The man who drew up the bill did
not expect that the law would be eff
fective and drew it with that inten-
Iion. The house passed it knowing
that it would de makeshift Law and
The senate passed it with the full in
lention of making it a joke on the

THURSDAY. AUGUST 5. 1909

The Boise Statesman, the leading
republican daily paper of the state,
has come out in defense of the Idaho
exhibit at Seattle by saying all or a
great majority of the criticism of the
states exhibit comes from political
reasons and can be traced to political
spite within our own state and that
outsiders. together with the manage
ment of the exposition, have paid the
state of Idaho glowing tribute for
the enterprise she has already shown.
1t is a very bad thing and reflects
upon the good name of the state to
have such an important matter as
this brought up in political way
whether it is true or not. and if all
this talk about there being no exhibit
or one that would reflect discredit |
upon the state, rather than credit, is
untrue and was brought for political
reasons it should be known to all
that We have a few very small people
living in great state. On the other
hand If the statements are true con-
corning the exhibit and the wav the
affairs are being conducted regard
ing the collecting and handling these
supposed to be exhibits and the States
man is seeking to draw the attention
Of the people from the real question
by invoking political prejudices. it is
doing even worse than the other side
could have done. If it is as the States
man says, political spite, it could
hardly be taken to mean spite be-
tween the democrats and republicans
as the board of three appointed by
me Governor was to be nonpartisan
board and there is one democrat :
serving on that board. OF course the
commissioner, Mr.. McEin,ay. is a
republican, as could hardly be ex. I
'ected to be otherwise under a re- c
publican administration. One of the c
trongest statements made for pub '
ication BY any one in the state, con- P
lemning the exhibit, was made bv a I
eading republican and now holding a
ne OF the important Offices in the v
tate and may be the one to whom Il
ne paper refers in saying it was
olitical spite; however, the state
lent made was undoubtedly made Z
! good faith by the party making il :
nd that ne actually thought the
tate was not represented at the e. =
osition as it should be. $
Yet the Statesman does not say in y
