END LIQUOR FIGHT
Between State and Nation-Controver-
sy Over Enforcement of Prohibition
Law in Dade County, Georgia, Ami
cabIy Settled, CabelI Reports.

Washington, March 2o.-The bitter
controversy in Dade County, Georgia
between the Federal and State officials
growing out of the enforcement of the
State prohibition laws has been settled
amicably, according to a report received
by Mr.. Cabel1, Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue.
1t grew out of proceedings instituted
under the jurisdiction of State Judge
Fite against George WI Cureton, who
it was alleged, had continued to operate
a distillery in defiance of law, and in
cluded the sending to jail of Charles
Stegal1, a government storekeeper, for
contempt Of court because he declined
to disclose official information regard
ing the Cureton disHllery, which he was
prohibited doing by statute, and who
was subsequently released; the interpo-
sition of Governors Brown of Georgia
in the case, and a row between State
officers and internal revenue agents over
an effort of the sheriff to obey Judge
Fite's order to seize the distillery.
Various attachments and indictments,
result of the controversy, either have
been dismissed or allowed to lapse, and
there is now no conflict between the
Federal and State courts. An order
recently issued by Mr.. Cabell permitting
information in possession of internal
revenue officers to be given State attor-
neys to assist in the prosecution of vio-
lators of prohibition laws will, it is
thought, obviate in til. future such diff
fculties as were encountered in the
Georgia case.
Cureton was convicted and sentenced
to jail for year, or to pa va fine of
one thousand dollars

LOUIS DOMINI
The Constitution Is Invoked to Saw
Him-Convicted Notwithstanding.

Louis Domini on being tried before
Judge A. ]. Murf for selling liquor in
.contrayention of law, has been convict
ed He sold the whiskey from wagon
in which he peddled vegetables, chick
ems and fruit Hse WAS sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and to serve three months
on the roads.
Judge Murff announced that hereaf-
ter he would inflict the maximum pen
atty on such offenders, which is a fine
of $500 and six months in each case.
In this case there has arisen a great
constitutional point The defendant S
plea is that he is not guilty as he did
not dispense the liquor or intoxicants
from bar, in shop or saloon, but
from wagon on wheels.
The pleader should have alleged fur
ther that he did not hand out the stuff
in little brown jugs nor in black quart
or pint bottles, and therefore to attempt
to land him at hard labor on the public
roads besides making him pay fine of
5000 is in restriction of his personal
right and liberty and therefore such
proceedings as have been enacted by
Judge Murff are null and void, illegal
and revolutionary.
If the p1eader had thought of it the
constitutional plea could have been ex-
tended to cover the earth, but while
Judge Murff has much consideration for
the Constitution, he oyerruled all OBJ
jections and gave Louis Domini what
was coming. to him.

President Taft has scarcely warmed
up the official seat assigned for the
head of the Nation that he, Or his
friends are speculating on a nomina-
ton for a second term. However, in a
Washington special the correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution states that
President Taft may decline to accept
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent next time Unless the national po-
litical situation improves considerably,
and he fears that it will grow worse, he
will step aside for ex-President Roose-
welt as the only man who can save the
Republican party from disastrous de
feat.
The tariff is to blame for the Presi-
dents present determination. To say
that he is resolved on this momentous
step is simply to quote the impression
received by leading Republican mem
hers of Congress who have talked with
him the past few days.
HE IS TIRED OF STRIFE.
They say he is tired of the turmoil
and the strife and criticism He is worn
out with the cares of Office His recent
public utterances are particularly sensi-
tive to criticism. In explaining this at
titude toward journalistic barbed ar
rows, he has spoken almost in an ap
pealing way to the press of the country.
Having been on the bench, practically
free from public criticism, he has con-
fessed that he found it difficult to ac-
custom himself to outspoken condemna-
ton.
Finally he has reached state of pos
tive gloom and pessimism as to the
outlook, and has confided his fears to
his advisers. That the Democrats will
carry the next House, he III convinced
beyond reasonable doubt
THE OHIO SITUATION.
The situation in Ohio is causing him
Immediate apprehension. If the Demo
Gratis carry the State this fall and elect
Judson Harmon Governor, he realizes
that Harmon will present formidable
opponent in the national election two
years hence.
The President has called a conference
of the Ohio members of Congress, and
will discuss the situation fully with
them and take counsel as to what
should be done to stem the tide and win
over the disaffected Republicans.
The widespread criticism of the tar
iff bill has finally convinced him of the
disappointment that measure has caused
the consumers of the country He has
only recently begun to appreciate fully
that it will be a great stumbling block
to the party responsible for its enact
ment.
He is now reminding his callers
among the stalwarts of the disaster that
overcane the party as the result of the
tariff bill of 1888. The resulting defeat
which almost wiped the Republican or
ganization off the map may be dupli
Gated in the next election, according to
the President.

In his annual report to the Board of
Health for the year 1909 A. S. Reisor,
NJ. D., president of the board, says:
"Our population is estimated to be
10000, which you will see gives us a
very low death rate of I2.I per thous-
and, which is 2.6 lower than was re-
ported for 1907. You will also see that
the mortality among the negroes is very
high. They are dying rapidly with tu-
berculosis. I have used every effort in
my power to control this disease among
them. I have each place after death
fumigated and cleaned, but they will
congregate around the sick, and have
wakes in the death chamber"
"The health of the city, as the NOR
tuary report shows, has been exception
ally good. We have had no epidemic or
prevailing diseases among the people.
Though on account of the central loca-
ton of the city, with ten railroads run
ming into it, with daily entrance of
thirty-three passenger trains, makes us
continually exposed to contagious dis
eases. A State Charity Hospital and
two large sanitariums are located here.
These institutions receive a large num-
Der of nonresident patients. The hos
pital and both sanitariums have train
ing schools for nurses, from which they
receive diplomas. There are located in
