DECISION AIDS DEBTORS. When a
mechanic declares himself bank
rupt he is entitled to exemptions not
only on all his tools and implements
to an unlimited amount, but on ma
terials used in his trade to the value
of 5000, according to decision by
Fedora. Judge Hanford, announced
Tuesday, which is attracting the at
tention of attorneys all over the
State. The decision, handed down
in the case of Ellis COzza, a Tacoma
tailor, is contrary to the accepted
opinion of the law held for many
years. Debtors are greatly favored by
Judge Hanford's Interpretation and
attorneys pointed to the manifest
lengths to which the State has al
ready shown itself ready to go to
keep its charitable institutions free
from debtors.

Baltimore, May 3.-President Taft.
speaking at the opening Of the third
National Peace Conference today, de-
clared the United States will keep
hands or and not seek to extend its
domain or acquire foreign territory.
He made no mention specifically of
Mexico, but to those who heard him 1t
was evident that the trouble and situa-
ton there, and the suspicion of South
American republics as to the inten-
tions of the United States in guarding
it's southern neighbor, had inspired
him.
Taft spoke of the internal disturb
ances in countries that are not so
well able as the United States to main
tain order and peace, and said 1t was
incumbent upon the great nations of
this hemisphere to exercise kindly
and peaceful influence as much as pos
sible.s
He said one Of the difriculties the
United States finds is the natural
suspicion that the countries engaged
have of the motives which the United
States has in rendering it's good offices,
and declared that not in the whole
length and breadth Of the United
States among it's people is there any
desire for territorial aggrandise-
ment.
He asserted that an arbitration
treaty between the two great nations
Of the world would be an important
step in securing world peace.
Taft returned to Washington i'm
mediately after the meeting.

LIQUOR LAWS
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

MEASURE PASSED IN 1907.
BY Associated Pre...

Washington, May s.-The Georgia
liquor law viii be subjected to the
scrutiny Of the United States supreme
court in the case of the state against
G. w. Cureton, docketed today.
The question was raised whether the
Georgia law, passed in 1907, prohibit
ing the sale of liquor within the state
applies to a transaction where persons
living in Alabama or Tennessee order
liquor of another in Tennessee, who
ships the liquor through an agent in
Georgia
Cureton is charged with receiving
orders for the payment for liquor at
his Office in Tennessee. directing an
agent at Rising Fawn, Georgia, to ship
the liquor ordered.
The state claims that Cureton there
by made the sale in Georgia. Cureton
claims the sale was made in Tennessee
and the Georgia law is unconstitution-
al because it interferes with interstate
commerce.

BAGDAD HAS
ANOTHER FIRE
Special to The journal.

Bagdad. Fla, May S.-Bagdad had
another fire today. About 1880 a. m.
the mills blew the FIRE alarm for the
residence part of the town. Smoke
was seen coming through the roof of
the large two-story residence of II. w.
Thompson. The fire was in the attic
and very hard to reach. In few min
utes Superintendent Stevens was di-
recting two three-inch streams on the
blaze and in thirty minutes the fire
was out. The damage is at least three
thousand dollars on the building and
furniture, partly covered by insurance.
The house was flooded with water
from the roof to the ground, running
the furniture and causing the plaster
to fall.
This house was one of the finest
residences in Santa Rosa county and
was built by B. w. Thompson.

election, to say whether or not the

point east Of the Suwannee river.
came up first and Mr.. Blanton moved
its indefinite postponement.
Speaking in support OF his measure,
Mr.. MacwiIliams said that with all
due respect to the historic red hills Of
Leon that he was not attempting to
take the capitol away from Tallahas-
see for any cause detrimental or de-
rogatory to Tallahassee, but that he
was trying to remove the capitol back
to the place of it's, first location. He
said that Tallahassee was settled upon
as q compromise between Pensacola
and st. Augustine. and cited in historic
evidence that one OF the roads leading
out of Tallahassee was known as the
St Augustine road. The representa-
tive from st. Johns said that no ques-
ton was ever settled until It was set
tied right; he said that this question
Of capitol removal kept recurring; that
it was up for settlement in 1880 and
again In 1891 and again about ten
years ago. He referred to an editorial
in the Tallahassee True Democrat,
lIOtu WuACu AIO fC<101 IA WIlCkA W1S
stated that the capitol removal agita-
tion came from aemisguided constitu-
ency and was hatched In the brain Of
willy politicians. He said that Of the
total population Of Florida that 500. 900
people resided east Of the Suwannee.
and he thought that many people out
of F1orida's total population should
have some right to express an opinion
in the premises. More than two
thirds OF the people lived east of the
Suwannee, and more than thirds
of the taxable valuation was to be
found east OF the Suwannee. The pro-
portion OF increase in population and
property had been far greater east of
the Suwannee than on the west side of
the stream, and from the standpoint
of accessibility and other material con-
sideration he argued against the In
definite postponement Of the measure.
Mr.. Wells of Leon, and his colleague.
Mr.. Winthrop, spoke at some length
against the measure as did Mr.. Floyd
of Franklin. Mr.. MacWilliams In his
