HAULING LIQUOR |S NOT UNLAWFUL Ensley Judge Makes Im-
 pOrtant Decision
MUCH MooTED POINT
Recorder Holds That Hauling of Goods Sent by Freight Is Completion of Interstate
 Delivery

Judge J. T. Lowery of the recorders court of Ensley rendered an important decision yesterday in reference to the hauling of prohibited liquors along the public highway. Judge Lowery held that prohibited liquors on interstate shipments may be delivered by the consignee or his agent, from the destination of the ship ment or railroad depot, to the residence or place of business of the consignee, consignee or his agent accompanied by a freight bill covering the items being de- l llivered."
 The decision was rendered in the case of Frank Wilson, negro drayman, who was arrested while delivering a consign- ment of liquor from another state to Lon Harris. Wilson contended he had the goods in transit for Harris and that he was delivering them at his instance. The case was given full consideration by Judge Lowery and many recent decisions bearing on the case were presented to the court by the defendants attorney, D. J. Hummer After hearing the evidence 'iS JuuSS diSSbdi Stu tHt utleIudHl TUT the reasons above stated.
 Harris is a licensed drayman and was hired by Harris to haul shipment of goods from an eastern state from the railroad depot. to the residence of the said Harris.
 He was arrested by the police authori- ties and the goods taken in charge by them.
 On the trial yesterday he proved that he had regular freight bill and that he was merely completing the delivery
 There have been a number of similar cases during the past few months, some of them still pending. Under the ruling of Judge Lowery 1t is lawful to haul prohibited liquors from another state along the public highways when a genuine transaction can be shown, not withstanding the fact that an ordi- nance of the city says thid cannot be done
 Judge Lowery emphasized the fact, however, that his ruling applied only to bona fde interstate shipments and not to avoidments or subterfuges.

times the snow line dropped 5000 OF

JEWS TO RECLAIM PALESTINE.
Propose to Buy One Hundred Thou
sand Acres of Land Annually.

Tannersville, n. Y, July ITO
buy one hundred thousand acres of
land annually in Palestine in order
to establish colonies of Jews was the
principal proposition Of a practical
nature placed before the fourteenth
annual convention of the Federation
of American Zfonists at it's sessions
to-day. This proposition was made
by the National Fund Commission.
The commission reported that in ad-
dition to the thirty eight agricultural
colonies established in Palestine
through the efforts of Zionists, resi-
dental suburb for artisans had been
established close to the port of Jaffa.
1t was recognized in the debate to-
day that the policy of the Young
Turk party, aiming toward the ma
empire and in opposition to the au-
tonomy Of the various nationalities
within the empire, was bound to de-
lay the realization of the Zionists'
purpose to secure a home for the
Jews in Palestine and that the move
ment would have better immediate
prospect for regaining the Jewish ma
tional soil if the opposition should
triumph. A resolution was adopted
calling upon the International Zion
isf Congress to maintain an attitude
of strict political parties.
