OPENS A new WAY.
Enforcement of Prohibitory Law Made
Easy by Judge DAM.

When Judge Dana sustained a de-
MUIR in the Cooley case Tuesday after
noon, he opened a new way for the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law in
Kansas that has never before been
used. Under the terms of the ruling
which seems to be backed by all man
ner of authority collection agent in
Kansas for Missouri or other foreign
brewery, is guilty of violations of the
prohibitory law.
The decision came after a startling
plea on the part of the defense in the
Cooley liquor case. Cooley was sued
for money which he collected on drafts
and bills of lading sent him by a Kan
sas City liquor house. The goods were
sent to Kansas consigned to the liquor
house, subject to bill of lading. These
were assigned to the purchaser by
Cooley on receipt of the purchase price
of goods. Judge Dana held that in such
an action, there was ample evidence of
a sale in Kansas and that the agent
was guilty of violations of the prohibit
tory law. He then refused to grant the
plaintiff judgment.
1t is claimed that almost every large
liquor supply house has collection
agents in every important town in the
state. To these agents are sent all COL
lections. Now, it seems probable, that
a crusade may be started that will land
compel them to pay heavy fines. The
collection plan has been in operation in
this state nearly two years.
Under the Jackson regime in the at
torney generals office, he notified all
banks to refuse to handle liquor colleC-
tions. Jackson even cited the banks to
the statutes which showed they would
Immediately become a party to viola
lions of the law. Then the crusader
offered to prosecute any banker who
would handle a liquor collection. After
the banks refused to handle the drafts.
Jackson found a provision that put the
lid on c. o. D. shipments. As an only
method of handling the Kansas bust
ness that was not in the cash in adj
vance class, the liquor houses appoint
ed private parties to handle their col
lections.
Now it appears that this business is
summarily stopped. The Dana de-
cision, when once generally understood
by county attorneys over the state, will
start a new source of trouble for liquor
houses. With the agency plan cut off.
fully one-half the Kansas liquor bust
ness will be curtailed.

TO Save Her BOY
Mrs. George Torrance Makes
Pitiful Appeal to Officers.
Son Howard, Only Is, Can't Be
Controlled.
STAYS OUT AT NIGHT.
Has Also Become an Adept at
Cigarette Smoking.
Complains BecauseHe Frequents
the Picture Shows.

In a seemingly hopeless endeavor to
reform her son, Mrs. George Torrance
went to the Juvenile court this morn
ing to ask the assistance of Judge
Schoch. There were tears in the
young mothers eyes as she told the
court of her hayward boy and asked
the court to aid in his reformation.
Howard Torrance is 16 years old.
He seems possessed of a score of
plans to keep his parents awake nights
Trouble began almost two years ago
when the young man formed the habit
of staying out late at nights. He was
taken before the Juvenile court and
promised to do better. But he didn't
So young Torrance has found his
name inscribed on the docket in the
court on varied occasions
After the first time. an arrest didn't
carry the horrors to the young mans
mind The humiliation and the fear
of the court seem to have worn away
and calloused young Torrance's con-
science 1t was after the boy reached
this stage that he became a full
nedged member of the cigarette smok-
ers' union on the East side Mem
bers of the union believe that a young
man does not show class and train
ing until he can consume a score of
cigarettes a day. Then the member
becomes more Independent and is at
liberty to talk back to his elders.
Young Torrance has reached this
stage. He rolls cigarettes with the
dexterity of a Texas ranger, has a
profane vocabulary as extensive as
that of a pirate and refuses to work.
These conditions have made necessary
a good many conferences between the
elder Torrances- Pleading had no eff
feet.

do Mrs. Torrance told Judge Schoch.

 D.Y BY ]. >. MCDONNELL
SECOND IN PAST WEEK
South Main Street Property Will be Improyed-Ont of Town Capital
 ists Active.

An important real estate deal, the second of it's sitd C ta made ill this city the past week in which out of town capital was brought here to be invested, was consummated In this city yesterday when J. s. Nc Donnell, tie well known merchant planter of this county, who makes his home in Little Rock, purchased the entire realty holdings on Main street of MT. and Mrs. I. J. Moore. The consideration was not made public. MT. Mcdonnell has announced that he will improve the property within the next twelve or fourteen months.
 The property has frontage on Main street of 25O feet and depth of 164 feet deep Six houses stand on the site, one two story, the pre- sent home of MT. and Mrs. Moore, and five cottages, all of which are oc- cupied. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have owned the property for many years and it is one of the most desirable pieces of real estate in the city. MT. and Mrs. Moore will not vacate their home until about January l, but the transfer was effective yesterday.
 The fact that the realty deal IS the second to be made by out of town capitalists in the past week, one or whom, D. L. Bain, of portland, will move to this city after erecting a S12OO0 residence, makes the sale Of yesterday the more Important in the matter of progress and shows a ten- dency on the part of out of town peo- pie to continue to lave faith in the future of Pine Bluff. Main street property still enjoys it's popularity with investors and the indications are that the building boom that has al- ready started Southward on Man street will be enlarged from day to day.
