WANT TO HOLD
AN ELECTION IN
SANTAROSACO.
M. c. cAINoR SECURES ALTER
NATIVE WRIT OF MANpAMus
TO COMPEL COUNTY BOARD TO
CALL WET AND DRY ELECTION.

NJ. G. Gainor. of Santa. Rosa county
through his attorneys, r. a. McGeachy
Esq, of Milton, and Senator John =
Stokes. of this city, yesterday filed a
petition before Judge j. Emmett Wolfe
of the, circuit court asking for an al
Tentative writ of nlandamus, directed
to the board of county commissioners
of Santa Rosa county, ordering that
board to call and provide for an cleo
ton to decide whether the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors, wines or beer
should be prohibited in that county
or to show cause before him on JAM
uary 18th, 1912, why they have not
done so.
Judge Wolfe granted the alterna-
tive writ as prayed and the board of
county commissioners must call and
provide for the election or show cause
why they have not done so at the ap-
poitned time.
Under article nineteen of the consti-
tuition of the state, the board of coun-
ty commissioners Of any county in
the state must order an election to
decide whether liquor shall be sold In
the county, whenever one-fourth of
the registered voters of the county
petition for such an election, not
oftener than once in every two years.
At the last session of the legislature
a bill was passed providing that such
elections shall not be ordered oftener
than once in every four years
A prohibition election was held in
Santa Rosa county on July 31st, 1909,
and q petition was presented to the
board of county commissioners Of that
county on November 4th, 1911, bearing
the signatures of seven hundred and
sixty seven of the eighteen hundred
and thirteen voters in that county
asking that another election be held
The board refused to order the cleo
ton because less than four years had
elapsed since the last election on the
subject, the board justifying its &C
ton by the act of the last legislature
On the other hand, the other side
claims that the act of 1911 is in con-
fict with the constitution of the state
and therefore void, because the con-
an election as often as every two
years.
The question raised in this case is
important to both sides, because under
the provisions of the act of 1911 an
election cannot be held oftener than
every four years whether the county
is wet or dry. And, if the legislature
has the authority TO provide that a
prohibition election cannot be held
oftener than once in every four years,
the legislature would have the au-
thority to provide that such an cleo
ton could not be held oftener than
once in ten years. or twenty years.

The End Of the Chose, Finding the Ma"

one night the safe of the Hicksvllle
station was blown open, and the next
morning as soon as they could be brought
up three of the dogs were put on the trail.
They started at II o'clock, nearly twelve
hours. as It afterward transplred, after
the ROBBERY had been committed. They
took the scent readily, however. from the
window through which the robbers had
entered and the articles they had tossed
about. .. '.. .' ....' .
The dogs followed the railroad track
for seven hundred feet and then started
away across the open ground. They
brought up at the trolley tracks and fol-
lowed them to the next stop. but there
the trail ended. Questions among the
few neighbors brought out the fact that
the trolley had stopped there about mid
night-a most unusual occurrence. So
the thieves made their escape and the
problem became the ordinary one Of a
thief lost in big city.
But on another occasion the dogs were
more successful. The railway station at
Warwick street. on the Atlantic Divis-
ion of the railroad. was broken Into and
robbed. The dogs Bob and Jim were put
on the trail in the morning. and they fol-
lowed 1t along Atlantic avenue to Logan
street. where IL divided. Bob sat down
to howl before No. 129. while Jim went
on TO No. 2ls.

missing property was found in trunk in

Weiss was arrested as accessory. but was

evidence. but Reisng was sent to Sing

OF the dog.
Last July the Kansas Supreme Court
likewise convicted a man upon the testi-
mony of bloodhounds This was much
more serious case, however, for a farmer
named Joseph Anderson had been muir
dered by a man named Glen Adams, and
the hounds led the pursuers over six
mile trail TO his home. Corroborative EVIL

original evidence OF the hounds the MUIR

other man.

But the man is not there for the sake
of the dogs. 10 matter how much en-

DARKNESS AND BRILLIANT IDEAS

Few criminals do think OF them. But
they are a very real factor In the stua-
ton on Long Island, which was Invaded
three years ago by a band OF dangerous
thieves They dynamited station safes
and burglarized private residences, and
on several occasions killed and injured
railroad patrolmen who were pursuing
them. The thieves used automobiles and
hst horses in making their escape, and
though the railroad equipped its policemen
With motorcycles and ev employed ex-
pert bicycllsts TO assist them the robberies
continued
The situation was battling, but Superin-
tendent Of Police Kerkam was very ia
nihar with the work Of police dogs IN
Belgium and France and Of late years In
New York. and he made up his mind to
buy few dogs instead Of hiring more
patrolmen. But, instead Of taking the
usual police dog, he determined to get
boodhounds. that could not only watch
The property but trail the thieves.
Accordingly, In 1903 he purchased
pair from the stock imported in 1888 by
Edwin Brugh. the first pure bred English
ooodhounds ever seen in this country
