A choleric individual named r. E. Johnson was fined s in one of our police courts yesterday for using the word damn within the sacred pre- cincts of the forum. Johnson was much surprised when he found that the word which was in his system and had to come out was tabooed in the police court when 1t is hurled with impunity from every pulpit in the land, and so stated, but he was fined nevertheless.
 However, he is not willing to use the word at s5 per, so to get right on the proposition. he went to see Judge Lane about it, as Judge Lane is supposed to know everything from raising Angora cats to running a DO lice-less city.
 Johnson stated his case to the judge and asked him whether 1t was wrong to say damn

That business conditions were such as would proceed as outlined to erect the acid plant at Corey costing approximate ly $275,000, was the statement of Culpepper Exum, who was at his office yesterday after an absence of several days in New York. MT. Exum, who is essentially business man and accustomed to look Into financial conditions, said that to some observers the situation might appear rather dull or quiet, but that so far as he could see there was not the slightest req son why business should not proceed with vigor.

 Smith Takes Stand

Larry Smith himself was the next wit ness for the state. He stated that he got on the Highlsnd avenue car at Third avenue and Twentieth street at about a quarter to seven on the evening of the shooting When the car arrived at Five Points, he asked the conductor to let him off at Enslen. As the car approached his station it did not reduce speed as if to stop, and witness stepped inside and rang the beli. No attention was paid to this signal and after the car had passed Enslen station, he pulled the bell cord. The conductor was at that time in the front part of the car.
 Witness told of the conductors com ing to the rear platform and remon- strating with him for ringing the bell. He stated that the conductor told him if he would step down on the ground he would give him trouble. He ignored the conductor after that and started to leave the car.
 Asked what happened after he got to the ground, witness replied: ''I don t remember anything after l started to get off of the car.
 On cross examination MT. Smith ad- mitted that he had pistol at the time that the shooting occurred. He did not remember what became of it. He did not know whether the pistol which Dr. Long now has is the one he had on that night. Witness said that he was not under the influence of liquor at the time. In explanation of his having a pistol on his person MT. Smith stated that he had been ap- pointed a deputy under Sheriff Higdon three days before, and received his commission. He stated that he did not use any violent or abusive language in speaking to the conductor
 At the conclusion of MT. Smiths tes- timony, the state rested, and court ad- journed. The defense will begin the introduction of it's evidence this morn ing, and quite a number of witnesses will be put on the stand.
 The solicitor is being assisted in the prosecution of the case by Attorney C.. P. Deddow, while the defendant Is rep resented by Allen & Bell.

I say if the department Of justice had accepted our offer, the same ends W would have been attained, the agl- tstion would not have taken place and the business interests of the country would not have been so ruthlessly as sailed.
 q did not make the proposition to the department of justice without having talked it over with some of the members of the association. As near as l can remember the association was behind me on that offer but as for officially out lining that plan and then acting that was not the programme.
 q can see no reason to believe that the United States has attained anything since the injunction that could not have been secured by the offer made the de- rartnent l am glad it is all over and I hope the other business interests will be reconcled to the situation as well as I am personally.
 1T have refrained from talking of the case since il was filed for obvious rea- sons. However I can see no i'll that will result in my going on record among my own people as having tried in every pos s;ble way to avert the suit instituted by the government, which ended just as we would have had it, and the finale Of which is not unlike that we would have acquiesed in by direction of the depart ment of justice
 T am sure the position assumed as to the voluntary proposition, even to the extent of dissolution, was held by the present president, I. H. McLaurin Of Jacksonville, although do not feel at liberty to talk for him.

HUDSON ON TRIAL FOR THE SHOOTING
 OF LARRY SMITH Prosecution Closed Case Yesterday, Introducing
 But Three Witnesses SMITH TELLS OF
 DISPUTE ON CAR W. A. Russell, Who Was on Rear Platform at Time of Shoot ing, Is One of the Prin- cipal Witnesses

The trial of Homer w. Hudson, who IS charged with shooting Larry Smith the early part of the year. was begun yester- day in the first division of the criminal court before Judge Cahalan. The shoot Ing, 1t vii be remembered, took place on the 7th day of last February. Smith was a passenger on a Highland avenue car, of which Hudson was conductor. Smith was carried past his station, and pulled the bellcord. This action the conductor resented and after an exchange of words, the shooting began. Smith was struck by at least two bullets, one of which en- tered his left temple, and came out through his right eye and the other pene- trated his right leg.
 The prosecution began and closed it's case yesterday afternoon. Only three wit nesses were used. pr. w. W. Long, the physician who attended the wounded man, told of his attentions. and described the extent and nature of the wounds.
 Russell Is Heard
 w. A. Russell, who was on the car at the time. and the only witness present during all of the difficulty except the principals, was next called by the state. He stated that he was on the rear plat form of the car and Smith was at the gate, ready to get off. The conducor oi the car came to the rear platform ano asked Smith if it was he who pulled the bellcord. Smith replied that it was he and upon being asked why he did so, he stated that he had been carried past his station three times lately, was getting tired of it, and would ring the bell again If carried by. Conductor then told Smit-i that he would give him trouble if he did so again.
 Witness stated that as the car stopped, to come down on the ground if he wanted to give him trouble. Hudson did so and Smith advanced toward him about, Is inches, said the witness. Smith struck at the conductor, but witness could not say whether he hit him or not. He further testified that the conductor attempted to escape after the shooting, but that he prevented his doing so. He did not see a pistol in Smiths hand. He could have seen a pistol If Smith had had one. He saw no one else on the platform at ,he time of the shooting except himself.
 On cross examination, MT Allen at- tempted to break down the witness testi- mony on the point of whether or not Smith had drawn q pistol. Asked if he did not know that a pistol had been picked up at Smiths side, and turned over to Dr. Long, and that Dr. Long had the pistol at that time, witness answered that he did not know. He said that Smith was not angry at any time while he was on the car, but that his manner was very quiet. He heard no abusive language used by Smith towards the conductor. In explane ton of his statement that the de- fendant had tried to escape, witness said that he remarked, T am going to town, and that he prevented his leaving.

Speaks From Wide Information


 The statement of MT. VanHoose, whose intimate relations with the association for a long number of years qualify him to speak with special authority upon the action of the officials preceding the be- ginning of the injunction Is of wide inn portance. His statement was secured even after friends said 1t would serve no good purpose to explain the offer made the de- partment. of justice by the association head. However. he agreed to sponsor the statement as he put it, to be placed cor rectly as to the activities before the be- ginning of the investigation.
 As to the channels through which the order of the court of appeals will be enforced, it is said that the defendants will each receive copy of the courts order as printed yesterday morning, and tiat they will be fully acquainted with what is expected of them in view of the injunction.
 From what can be gathered all interests here are satisfied with the termination of the noted litigation.
