WILL TAKE CASE TO FEDERAL COURT
BODEKER WANTS TO KNOW WHETHER ONE OF HIS MEN HAS VIOLATED INJUNCTION IN STOP PING DELIVERY OF BEER.

Upon request of Chief of Police George H. Bodeker before Judge Feagin of the police court this morning the case of J. w. Hawkins, charged with violation of the prohibition laws, was continued until March S1. This was done in order that the matter could be brought before the United States court in the meantime to determine whether the action of the officer who made the arrest was contrary to the decision handed down by that court in the case of the Lemp Brewing company vs. Chief of Police Bodeker, which was case of similar circumstances.
 It is claimed that Hawkins was ar rested by Detective Jones. Hawkins was caught unloading a cask of beer at the residence of Nellie Madonia, 1700 Avenue H, which had been shipped from Memphis, Tenn. The bill of lading stated that the box should be dilivered only to J. W. Hawkins at Birmingham and had been made out by the Mobile and Ohio railroad. Attorneys for flaw kins claimed that the beer was billed to Hawkins and that he could receive ii at the station and take it any place in the city for his own use. They ad- mitted, however, that Hawkins did not live where he had been seen unloading the beer The state attorneys claimed that he was not taking the beer to his own residence but was delivering 1t to the Madonia residence and was, there fore, liable by law.
 The defense claimed that the action of Officer Jones was a violation of the
 injunction of the United States court in the Lemp Brewery companYvs. Chiei Bodeker case by which all officers were enjoined from interference in any inter- state shipment. The case created quite q little interest as it brings up a new technical point in the prohibition laws and the opinion of the United States court will be received with much inter- est

 Frank StaclSae, a German farmer who came to Meridian yesterday from near Deer Park.

P PARTY HARMONY
 URGED BY CANNON
Letter Is Sent to Meeting of
 Educators in Springfield.
TARIFF LAW DEFENDED
sneaker Cannon and Senator CullOm Unite in Plea for United Party, and They Say That Danger
 Is Threatening.

Springfield, H., March 15.-Harmony was the keynote of the annual con- vention of the Illinoic Editorial as socaition in this city, and attended by about 100 republican editors outside of Chicago. The speeches and resolu- tions all asked for harmony in the party and the abiding by the party caucuses as being necessary to party success.
 The resolutions indorse the adminis- tration of President Taft and the Payne Aldrich tariff. Senators Cullom and Lorimer Speaker Cannon and the other republican members of the House from Illinois, were commended for their solid support of the President. Governor Deneen and the republican administration of Illinois also were in- dorsed. Messages from President Taft
 and Speaker Cannon were read. Speaker Cannon, in a letter, renewed his attack on the insurgents" and de- elared that all the pledges of the plat form will be kept by the republican party if it has the continued support of the people.
 The letter in part follows;
 Dear MT. Rankin. l nave your 1a- vor of the 9th instant. informing me that there will be meeting or the Illinois Republican Editorial associa- | ton at Springfield March 15, and In vitIng me to give you word of en- couragement and suggestion.
 "I thank you for the courtesy. but I feel there is no occasion either to
 advise or to encourage the republican
 editors of Illinois, who have been a potent factor in the politics of the state
 since before the republican party was | formally organized.

The building was valued at $500. The school children had just been dismissed ror a recess when the fire was dis covered.
 Famed by the high wind the blaze soon spread all over the building and was practically beyond control when the fire department arrived. The f1re- men devoted most of their attention to confining the flames to the church building Sparks from the fire caught the roof of the parsonage, which stood beside the burning church, and for a which is a new building, would be de- stroyed also. The blaze was soon un- der control, however, and the loss to the parsonage will not be over $50.
 Several other negro houses near to the burning church caught fire from the sparks and were smoldering when the fire department arrived. Several lines of hose were laid and with tho exception of the church building the situation was soon under the contro of the firemen. The fire is supposed to have started from q defective flue or a spark on the roof. fire hat been built in the basement just ( few minutes before, as the school room appeared too cold for the children. l was claimed that 5000 insurance wal carried on the church and $2000 insur ance on the parsonage.

Illinois Republican Editorial association, Springfield, Ill''
 Governor Deneen addressed the conven- ton and made a strong plea for party fealty and abiding by the action of the caucus.
 He believed that every candidate for re- publican nomination for members of the legislature should be required to answer whether he will stand by the party pledges as announced in the platform whether, If elected, he would help to enable such pledges to be redeemed whether he will go Into the party caucus and abide by It's decisions.
 United States Senator Cullom also ad- dressed a letter to President Rankin oi the editorial association, in part as fol lows:
 The republican party has beea respon- sible for the government both state and national, since 1896. and presents a record of achievement in the way of material advancement during those years unpar- alleled In any period of double that dura- ton in our shistory. Under republican administration during these years the country has prospered and our develop ment, both internally and as a leading power among the nations, has been all most startling to ourselves and to the Woiiu. II becuiS otIdiSt tO nle, Wltl tllt magnificent record, that the party is in danger of defeat. unless we get together, harmonize our differences and present a solid front to the enemy in the coming campaign.
 Since the days of Lincoln the first Republican president, than whom nc greater man has ever lived, the Repub- llcan party has stood for protection and for a protective tariff and for economy in the administration of public affairs No differences of opinion on the tariff or any other question should be allowed to divide the party. which would surely result in the election of the Democracy The success of the party is of so much importance to the prosperity of the coun- try that individual opinions should yield in the interest of party success"
 Senator Cullom then paid high com pliment to President Tafts administra- ton.
 "If we are to be victorious In the com ing election" continued the letter. "tht attacks by Republicans on Republicans must cease. The party should uphold its leaders and stand by it's principles Nc man should be made an issue Our state has been honored by having for so many years the speaker of the house in the person of that distinguished citizen ol Illinois. MT. Cannon, a patriotic, fearless able, loyal man, both to his country ana to his party.
 "I write this letter because I feel tha party success is in danger and I wan the Republicans of Illinois to realize thu importance of harmony, of getting to- gether and burying our differences"

PACKERS ARE CHARGED
 WITH RAISING PRICES

Cleveland, March 15.-The beef pack CTS are charged directly with the high cost of meat in the report made today of the special grand jury, which was called here to investigate the high cost of living. The grand jury declares it found the butchers are under the thumb of the packers and cannot ob- tain a reasonable return on their busi- ness without charging excessive prices.
 The inquisitors also found there ex- isted conditions which fostered the placing of almost the entire milk busl- ness in the hands of one firm, and that cold storage eggs a year old are being sold as fresh. It recommends the en- actment of an ordinance compelling all cold storage eggs to be marked with the date on which they are entered and providing penalty of fine and impris- onment for any person selling cold storage eggs as fresh eggs.
