4 NEW DISTILLERY LAW
Raney Bill Signed by Governor Donaghey Thursday and is
 Now a Law

The bill by Senator T. J. Raney of this place, repeating Section 5O93 of Kirby's Digest, which pass ed both houses of the legislature several days ago, was signed by Governor Donaghey Thursday and is now a law.
 A strong fight was made in the house to reconsider and kill the bill, and when this failed the gov ernor was appealed to by the dis tillery owners in an effort to have him veto the measure, on the ground that it would injure the grape and berry growers and the wine-makers of the state.
 The new law seeks to prevent the manufacture of liquor in prohibition territory, by the repeal of that clause of the law which has heretofore allowed manufacturers the right to make and sell liquor anywhere in the state without state or county license, the only restriction be- ing that they must sell in original packages of not less than five gallons. Under the new law. a distlllery cannot operate without first procuring a license, and li- cense cannot be issued except in wet counties.
 Attorney General Norwood holds that the new law does not affect native wine growers.

WILL EQuALIzE TAXES
New SeIf-Reguiating State Tax Law Will Solve Revenue
 Problem of Future

Special to The Journal.
 Little Rock, Mch. 22.-As the session of the Legislature draws toward its close, the same com ment that has been made from the first is applicable-local legislation has almost wholly taken the place of general legislation. But if nothing else were done for the state at large, the passage of the Hurst Bradham general revenue law, drawn by David A. Gates, chairman of the State Tax Con- mission, is worth all the session has cost.
 It will, all believe, solve the rev. enue problem of the future. It is a most voluminous act, and repeals many pages of special and general laws on the subject. It catches the tax dodger, and by aunique device thought out by MT. Gates, makes each taxpayer interested in the re- turn of an honest assessment by his neighbor. The tax rate is auto matically reduced as the aggregate assessment increases.
 If the total assessment does not exceed $750,000,000, the state tax rate will be as follows: State gen. eral, F cents per $100; State school, Is cents; pension, II Is cents; cap ital, 2 cents.
 The tax rate gradually decreases as the total assessment increases, each increase of five million in the assessed value of property causing a decrease in the rate When the to- talassessed value of property in the state reaches a billion dollars, the rate will be: State general 9 cents; school, Is 4-5 cents; pension $ cents on the hundred.
 There is a great deal of talk about the length of the sessions, and var ious plans are being considered for cutting down the length of time the lawmakers may continue in session. At the close of the regular 60-day limit, even those pledged to that were forced to realize that 1t would be folly to adjourn at that time, as nothing had been accom- plished. It is freely predicted that the end of the 125-day session, the longest ever held, will see hundreds of unfinished bills on the calendar. Representative Glover has intro duced a resolution for an amend ment to confne legislative sessions to 100 days.
 The heavy cost of the Legisla- ture is the feature of the long ses-

Mr.. Harris, who was in his S4th

SEARCH FOR
j. N. KELLEY
IS STILL ON
No TRACE or MISSING LITER
YET FOUND BY THE OFFICERS
DESPERATE CRIMINAL is STILL
AT LARGE AND NOTHING HAS
BEEN HEARD OF THE GUARD.
SMIrn
SMITH.

Private detectives, sheriffs and
police officers all over the state of
Florida are diligently searching for
]. M Kelley, the desperate lie col
vict, who escaped from the camp of
the DeLeon Naval Stores company en-
the Dayfona-DeLand road about ten
days ago, and the question Is being
persistently asked, HAS anyone
seen KeMey?"
Kelley was sent up for the murder
of w. C. SeAars, private detective
of the Atlantic Coast Ls:ae railway, at
High Springs. He is reputed to be
the most desperate criminal in the
state, no less than eight murders be-
ing laid to his hands That he will
never be taken alive is the conclu-
sion of officers and before he is re-
captured it is throught he will sell
his life as dearly as possible.
Details were hard TO learn follow
ing the escape, no one outside the Of
ficials of the camp seeming to be
familiar with them. 1t has been
learned, however, that guard named
Smith complained of a severe tooth
ache on the morning of the escape
and stated his intention of walking to
DeLand to have the tooth extracted.
Another guard took Kelley and other
convicts out to work but shortly after
arriving in the woods Kelley pre-
tended to be taken with severe
pains in the stomach and rolled on
the ground in his pretended agony
About that time the guard who had
the toothache arrived on the scene
with his rifle, presumably out for a
walk. On his starting to return to
the camp the guar in charge of the
gang remarked that he might as web
take Kelley back as he was sick and
unable to work. So the pair started
back to the stockade, Kelley about
80 feet in front of Smith, who had
him covered with a rifle. This was
about in the morning and is the
last that has been seen of either
Their absence was not discovered
until evening when the eonvicts were
returned to the stockade. Thus fal
no trace has been found of either
Kelley or the missing guard, al
though rewards are offered for both.
