PROHIBITION CASE
 UP ID HIGH COURT
ARGUMENTS ARE SUBMITTED ON VALIDITY OF STATEWIDE
 MEASURE.
REFERENDUM IS INVOLVED
Attorneys Declare That Whole princi- pie Is Threatened-Attorney ...
 General Supports the Act.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


 Little Rock.--The act of the last legislature, which, it is declared, will mean statewide prohibition for Arkan- sas, if it is upheld, is now in the hands of the members of the state supreme court. Arguments in the case of Han son vs. Hodges, which was brought to test the validity of the act, were made by attorneys representing the liquor dealers, the state and the Ark ansas Federation of Labor and the case was then submitted to the court.
 Because of the importance of several points involved in the proceedings the final hearing of the case by the states highest court has been awaited with great interest.
 The act provides that before a sa- loon license shall be granted, the ap- licant must procure the signatures O. majority of the white adult resi- dents of the municipality.
 The principal arguments made in the Supreme Court against the validity of the act were based upon the fact that the legislature attached the emer- gency clause, preventing a referendum being ordered on the measure, al- though 1t was not to go into effect until nine months after it's passage, and also upon the fact that the barring of negroes from signing petitions for licenses Is unconstitutional
 Attorney General Moose appeared in support of the validity ofethe bill. w. l., Terry appeared on behalf of the liquor dealers who instituted the pro- ceedings
 J. V. Bourland of Fort Smith and Can't & Coleman of Pine Bluff, repre- scnting the Arkansas Federation of Labor, also appeared against the act The stand taken by the federato of labor, it was announced, was due to a belief that the whole principle of the referendum is threatened if the right of the legislature to attach the emergency clause to any bill is upheld. The labor leaders declare they are not interested in the direct issue as to the question of prohibition

CITIZENS BATTLE ROBBERS
Bandits Make Raid on Fulton Bank
 Get Little Loot.

Fnlton.-A band of yeggmen attempt ed to blow the safe in the Bank of Fulton, using the same tactics adopted by the men who robbed the First State Bank of Dardanelle earlier in the week. Because of the fact that the methods employed by the robbers were the same and that apparently there was the same number of men in each band, it is believed that both robberies were perpetrated by the same gang
 The robbers were more successful at Dardanelle than they were here, as they secured about $5,000 at the former place and obtained only small amount from the Fulton bank At both places the robbers engaged in a pitched battle with citizens.

There is a difference of opinion as

Friends of the cedars say they are
not guilty and they have the Dopu.
