deputies, armed with warrants
sworn out by County Attorney o..
B. Taylor, under the provisions Of
Act 1876, approved April is, 1910.
raided four alleged blind tigers
Monday afternoon. capturing a lot
of beer and whiskey and arresting
the proprietors.
The places arrested were those of
Henry Howard, who has, for
months. conducted one of the most
notorious dens in the city, and for
the robbery of whose place three
negroes were arrested last week..
but no charge was made against
Howard; M. L. benson and ] S.
Carraway, Mill street, and Shilling
& Downing. Parish street.
The proprietors were arrested
and the places seized. The pro-
prietors were required to give bond
sufficient to indemnify the State,
county and city, while the sheriff.
under the act. can seize without
bond.
The act under which county At
torney Taylor proceeded gives the
Chancery Court jurisdiction over
these cases. The act follows:
That any person who may sell
or give away vlnous or spurious
liquors unlawfully, or who shall al
low same to be sold or given away
at his place of business. for any
purpose whatsoever, shall be sub
ject to pay to the State. county,
city. town or village. where the
otfense is committed. each. the
sum of $500; and the State. county,
city, town or village, or any tax
payer of the State. county, city,
town or village in the name there,
of, or the State Revenue Agent. or
any sheriff within the county acting
for them. may sue for and recover
civilly, either jointly or separately
each, said sum of $500; and said
suit may be commenced by attach
ment without bond.
Concurrent Jurisdiction Given
Chancery Courts for Enforcing Act
Sec. 2. The Chancery Court shall
have concurrent jurisdiction with
courts of law to entertain suits
under the preceding section for the
enforcement thereof instituted by
the State, county. or any city, town
or village or by any taxpayer
thereof. in the name of the State,
county, city, town or village, or by
the State Revenue Agent, or by
any sheriff within his county acting
for them, and the Chancery Court
shall have authority to suppress as
a nuisance any place of business.
where the preceding section is vio-
lated, and by proper judgments and
orders, punish and restrain the
vlolaters thereof. "
These are the first arrests made
under the provisions of this act.
and the cases will be prosecuted to
the limit by County Attorney Tay-
lor, who has been collecting evil
dence for this move for some time.
Mr.. Taylor believes it is not only
possible to punish violators Of this
law through the Chancery Court.
bur thinks this is the best means to
the end of the breaking up the
blind tigers of jackson and Kinds
county.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PRICES DRIFT AiMLESsLY.
Demand for. Stocks Shriveiled Up
Market Stagnant.

New York, Aug. 30.-The demand for
stocks shrivelled up today and prices
were allowed to drift aimlessIy. The
party in the speculation which has
been attempting for several days past
to move prices grew discouraged over
the lack Of response to those efforts.
The perfunctofy character OF the whole
movement was too obvious to attrac ct
any outside following Last week s
crop damage rumors had melted some
short selling and this short interest
was made the fulcrum for the uplift
which has occurred since The reduc-
ing force in market otherwise stag
nant- The disposition to await events
was emphas sized by the unresponsive-
ness of the market to artificial meas
ures. Some apprehension of coming
events enters into the reactionary tone
which developed The period of cash
withdrawals from New York bank re-
serves il not propitious to operations
on the long side in stocks The cur
rent of the movement out of New York
is gaining strength. Shipments to Can
ada and TO the domestic interior are
on large scale and are proving day
by day that the usual recourse is be-
ing made TO New York supplies for
the purpose of moving the crops. The
rate of depletion of bank reserves
promises to be "a pid for a time the
decrease this week having run already
apparently to over S4.006.060 including
the result of sub-treasury operations.
The foreign demand for securities has
disa ppeared and the movement of for
eign trade has not been adjusted to the
normal sufficiently to provide the usual
supply of exchange at this time of
year. Repienishment of cash for the
banks by gold imports becomes de
pendent therefore, on credit opera
lions. The recent action of the Lon
don discount market implied some op-
position there to New York's appIica-
lions. Today there was an easier tone
in the London discount market and a
rise this week in the Bank of Eng
land discount rate was considered less
likely.
A firmer tone in the corn market and
weather forecasts of light frOsts had
some Influence on stocks The APP
proach of the date for official monthly
reports of various kinds bearing on
crop and industrial conditions gives
rise conjectural estima tes- These
were heard on the government crop re-
ports, the monthly statement of I'M
filed tonnage as of September first,
from the United States Steel corpora
ton and on the Copper Producers as
ISOLATION statistics as of the same date.
The actual appearance of these figures
is one to two weeks ahead yet. but
this ia ct did not prevent computations
on the showing to be made. There
was selling of stocks based on the
conclusions thus drawn. limitations
were heard also of cotton market loss

MOVES TO ELIMINATE
ARIZONA WILDCATTERS'
Constitutional Provisions Against
irresponsible Promoters
to Be Offered

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 17.-Constitu-
tional provisions designed to eliminate
wildcat corporations and curb irrespon-
sible promoters who take advantage
of the present liberal Incorporation
laws of Arizona will be proposed by
Delegate Eilinwood at tomorrow's ses-
sion of the constitutional convention.
As drafted the proposed constitution
al articles make stockholders liable
for corporate debts as we'll as un-
paid portions of capital stock, and pro-
vide a corporation tax in proportion
to capitalization. Another section is
designed to prevent foreign corpora
tions from doing business in the new
state under more favorable conditions
than domestic concerns.
Ellinwood Is chief counsel for the
Phelps-Dodge company.
Thirteen propositions were presented
today, including three for the initla-
tive and referendum, one embodying
the Oregon plans for a school system
which requires segregation of the
sexes. Another would prohibit the dis
posal of school lands for twenty-five
years.
A petition signed by 500 workingmen
of Globe was read to the convention.
1t asked for a constitutional proyi-
sion which would compel corporations
to employ at least so per cent Ameri-
can labor and thus stop the alleged
rapid increase in the number Of illit-
crate, -taXpaying foreigners, es-
pecially in the mining camps.
The convention voted for the second
time today to dispense with a verbatim
report of the proceedings, which it is
estimated would cost more than $4,000.

PYRAMID DRILLS To
1855 FEET IN DEPTH
First Oil Bearing Formation En-
countered at 700 Feet
Leads to Oil

On Santa Paula property, the Pyr-
amid Oil company's well No. has
been finished to a depth of 1855 feet
The casing is now being perforated and
it will be put on the pump within a
few days.
The first oil bearing formation was
encountered in this we'll at a depth of
a little over 700 feet and from that
depth down to the bottom of the well
more or less oil has shown in the for
nation all the way. At several points
both the oil and gas showings have
been exceptionally strong. From the
time that a depth of 800 feet was at
tanned the oil flowed over the top of
the casing at short intervals and on a
few occasions the gas pressure has
been so strong that the oil and water
from the we'll were thrown clear over
the top of the crown block. This is
an unusual showing for the Santa
Paula field.
This we'll has demonstrated that q
rich stratum of oil underlies this ter
ritory, which has never before been
penetrated for the reason that no
wells have ever been drilled deep
enough.

SUPREME COURT OPENS
LOS ANGELES SESSION
Suit of the Telephone Co. Against
Pasadena to Be Heard

The October term of the supreme
court of California was opened yester-
day afternoon in it's rooms in the Bull
lard block. The court will consider a
short calendar, thirty or forty of it's
cases having been transferred to the
care of the district court of appeals.
The opening session was occupied with
hearing motions and ex parte matters.
Probably the most important case to
be heard will be that of the Sunset
Telephone and Telegraph company
against the city Of Pasadena, which
is set for tomorrow. The question in
volved concerns the right of the mu-
nicipality to require that a corporation
operating under a charter from the
state be required TO secure franchise.
The suit arose from the city calling
upon the company to pay tax on poles
maintained within the corporate linn
it's, upon the refusal of which Pasa-
dena officials proceeded to cut down
the poles.
Because of the short calendar it is
expected the court will be enabled to
adjourn Thursday.
