cd to surrender his keys to the Acad-

Upchurch was on hand with counsel to
defend his men. City Attorney Clark
asked for continuance to next Tues
day. Counsel for the defense de-
manded immediate trial. manifesting
considerable feeling. in asserting that

Attorney persisted in his insistence
that the city was not ready for trial,
and Justice stronach ordered the con-
tinuance.
Manager Upchurch declared in open
court that 500 In change was stolen
from his Office in ti:e Academy last

On the other hand. Chief of Police

with only few minutes left for his
side to close in. Rev. James Cannon,
.Jr., nut in the final argument Of the
hearing. The question for the General
Assembly to decide, he said. was not
whether 1T wanted local option or
Statewide prohibition. but whether 1t
should submit that question to the
people.
The present law is combination of
local option and prohibition, he assert
ed. Local option was put in the Demo-
cratic platform twenty-five years ago,
but was in the platform OF both par
ties, so that neither party can claim
st.
Tho question is not local." said he,
because it is not local in effect.
Seven years ago the General Assembly
wrote on the statute books the Mann
bill which was not a local option
measure in its last analysis, for where
community sought to have LIQUOR
the judge must be first convinced OF
the necessity therefor. Two years
ago, the Democratic party adopted a
policy that no community OF less than
500 people should have the right to
liquor even though 400 people there
might so desire. The Democratic party
says that in such a case liquor is not
for the best interests of the state"
Analogy to the general State laws
as to compulsory education and health,
he pointed out, showed that the liquor
problem might be treated likewise. In
those cases there was real State
wide" policy, and it is just to extend
the analogy in parity OF reasoning. II
the Legislature could stop Statewide
ignorance and Statewide disease it
could also, stop Statewide drunken
ness.

Telling of the position of the Meth
odist Church and the convention of the
.Anti-Saloon League approving State
wide prohibition, he said that if his
side could not furnish enough evidence
for the contention. belief in its conten-
tons would not be expected.
Replying to a question of Chairman
Sale. he said that IL consideration of
the Strobe bill by the Finance Com
mittees might be done away with, and
further delay cut off, his side is willing
to agree that the bill shall not so

off the possibility of the addition of

William Seylar. the elder brother. who
is charged directly with the murder

Indignantly denied all knowledge OF the
/ crime. and as emphatically denied also
that he met the unfortunate girl on
the pier that fatal night. Nothing
Icould be gotten out of him that would
seem to connect him with the crime.
He says he will prove an alibi. But the
! Younger brother confirmed the story
told by Alice Adams of her pleading
with William and her sister to leave
| the pier and so home, and Of their
refusal to do SO. the sister saying that
William seylar would not let her go.
| The two brothers have been kept apart

William does not know OF the state

not be Informed of it until they get
back to Atlantic City. They will be
taken back tomorrow by the Atlantic

them. The Atlantic City detectives are
warm in their praise of the Petersburg

Alleged RevolutioniSts Encour-
aged by American Sympathy

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 26.-The be-
lief that the trial of Nicholas vasilie-
Breshkovskaya would be open is con-
iirmed.
Nine Breshkovskaya's lawyer, Prince
Eristoff says that his client will not
be present. The defense, while not de-
nying revolutionary activity on her
part, will merely point out alleged err
rors in the indictment when she is
called to plead.
Prince Eristoff's presence will be a
mere formality. as the desire of his
client is TO avoid anything that might
prejudice Tschaikovsky's case. Eristoff
today said that his client was in the
best Of health and cheerful. He added
that she had been greatly comforted
by the assurances of sympathy from
America.
