Jackson. Miss. May 27.-(special)-.
Graduates of the University of Mississippi
are very decidedly Interested in a case
involving the constitutIonality of what IS
known as the "anti-frat law passed by
the last legislature. The case was heard
before a special judge at oxford three or
four weeks ago, and decided in favor of
the fraternity men-that is 1t was held
that the law is unconstitutional. and there
was general rejoicing over the state by
all members of college secret societies.
So anxious are they to have the matter
settled one way or the other they have
made motion to have the supreme court
advance the case on the d cket so that
it may be determined befoH the summer
vacation of the court. and 1t has been
set for argument before that tribunal for

Tuscaloosa, May 2z-(Specia1)-.
Never before has sight as inspiring
been witnessed in the halls of the
University of Alabama as that which
presented itself today in Woods hall,
when the annual alumni banquet took
place at / o'clock.
It Is estimated. that there were about
1000 people in the great hall when
Toastmaster c. b. Werner of Tusca-
loosa raped for attention and intro
duced the first speaker, Governor
Emmett O'Neal of Alabama, who de-
livered a rousing speech, in which the
chief executive plead for local taxation
and advocatement of the school system
of the state from politics. A toast drank
in water to DIR. Warfield Richeson, and
n speech of Dr. Richeson, who is 80
years of age. and who graduated from
the university 20 years ago, were the
features of the banquet.
Dr. Richeson of Tuscaloosa is said
TO be the Oldest living graduate of the
University of Alabama, and the toast

burst of thunderous college yells and
songs.
AS the ferver of the ovation to the
aged man died out he struggled to his
feet, although trembling with age, and
for 10 minutes held the great audience
of banqueters breathless as he voiced
high sentiments to his alma mater and
his fellow eol1egians.

the remark of President George IL.
Denny, after the banquet.
During the serving of the courses of
the banquet the hall rang the echoes
of college yells and songs from more
than dozen different classes Governor
ONeal was the first speaker and he
was followed by DIR. Denny, who re-

HANDED DOWN BY
MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT

TO all machines paying the license An
appeal was taken TO the circuit court and
submitted to Judge William A. Henry on
an agreed statement of facts. He held
that the law was unconstitutional and
the state appealed to the supreme court.
which affirms Judge Henry and declares
the law is void under the due process
clause of the state and federal constitu-
tons"
Under this law the state auditor has
collected more than s2s,0OO and has spent
about $500 for tags. This money will
have to be refunded but that cannot be
done until the legislature shall have made
an appropriation TO cover same. 1t is un-
derstood that another bill will be intro
duced at the next session of the legisla-
ture and an act passed that will run the
guantlet of all the courts and compel
owners of autos to pay privilege license.
That is the stand of those who do not
own autos-and they are in large ma

jackson, Miss. May 27.-(Speeial)-Two
or three cases of more than state interest
were decided by the supreme court to-
day, and chief among which was what is
known as the automobile tax case. The
last legislature passed an act requiring
license on all autos. ranging from s. to
s25, according to the horsepower of the
propelling engine Many owners paid the
license under protest. declaring they had
already paid an ad valorem tax on their
machines. and that to tax them for the
privilege of running that machine was
double taxation and class legislation.
In order to test the law Fl. C. Lawrence,
the proprietor of garage in this city
and owner of an auto, refused to pay
the license. He was arrested and fined
for not having the required tag furnished
by the state auditor. which was attached
