Columbia, Nov. 17.-Thc Supreme
Court today held that the judg-

valid, but the court ruled that the
act Of 1910 Is unconstitutional i'm
so far as 1t attempts to confer jul

and to create a lien upon the Glass
Company's property.
At the same time the act is held
constitutional in 80 far as it turns
over the county dispensary funds
due to the Glass Company and other
dispensary creditors, to the control
OF the commission. Justice Hydrick

CARMACk'S SLAYER FREED.
VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY FOR
ROBIN COOPER.
Attorney General Consents to Liberia
tdOn OF Man Once Convicted for
killing of Senator.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 15.-Robin
). Cooper, charged with the murder
of Senator Edward w. Carmack. was
given a verdict of not guilty in the
criminal court this morning on req
ommendation of A. B. Anderson, at
torney general. Thus was brought 10
close the final chapter in one of the
most celebrated cases known to the
annals of the courts of Tennessee. In
striking contrast to the scenes mark
ing the first trial Of the case, when
the court room was packed almost TO
suffocation, there were only a few
persons present. Counsel were prob
ably the only persons there particu-
larly on account of this case.
Robin Cooper came into the court
room some minutes before the time
for court to convene and took seat
at the table behind the railing. About
ralf an hour later his counsel, Judge
). M. Anderson, Gen. w. H. Washing
ton, Chas N. Burch, Judge M. H.
Meeks and Judge j. c. bradford en-
tered the court room and took seats
at the tabe. There was no counsel
associated with Attorney General
Anderson for the State and he stated
In recommending the verdict of not
guilty, that no human being had said
one word to him in connection with
any prosecution during the two and
one-half months he has been attor-
ney general.
Judge A. B. Neil then stated to the
jury that in view of the statement Of
the attorney general, the sworn Off
Ger of the State, and in view Of the
further fact that there is no further
effort made to prosecute the case, the
jury would return a verdict Of not
guilty, which was accordingly done.
Counsel for the defense had moth
ing to say during the proceedings and
at the conclusion Gen. Washington
arose and stated to the court that
they would retire. The defendant left
the court room with his counsel.
Senator Carmack was killed on
Seventh avenue of this city on the
evening Of November 9, 1908.

PLOT OF PACKERS.
DIR. WILSON SAYS CUT IN FOOD

Washington. Nov. 16.-The so-call-
ed reduction In the price of meats is
deliberate manipulation of the
market, according to DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry Of the department of agricul-
ture. in a statement made here to-
day.
"The interests which manipulated
the prices upward" said DR.. Wiley,
temporarily have released their hold
on our throats for the purpose of
getting fresh krip. The so-called
reduction in meats Is fictitious. It's
manipulation was deliberate, Just as
the increase in prices was unjust,
unreasonable and uncalled for by
conditions prevailing throughout the
country. The prices We're fictitious
at the top notch because they were
forced there arbitrarily by the inter-
ests.
developments will show that the
Interests are after some one. 1t may
be some Independent movement they
hope to drive from cover"
Secretary Wilson said today that
the announced reduction in prices
was abnormal. He said it was due
to the fact that the drought in the
cattle raising country had increased
the cost of hay. The farmer with
cattle on his hands must pay $50
ton for his hay and rather than do this
he was sending his cattle and sheep
to market This accounted for the
sudden decrease in prices he said.
This tumble is not all normal and
will not all be permanent" declared
secretary Wilson, "but the plentiful
corp crop will enable the farmers to
fed freely and we should be at a
lower level of prices. Lower prices
are certain to come, because there
Is no agreement to fix prices, no
combination between the farmer and
consumer"
