Liquor License Case to Be Decided One Way or the
 Other Without Delay.
HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
Will Confer With Attorneys Repre-. Senting Both Sides and Then
 Dispose of Case.

County Judge z. M. Philpot, upon whom all eyes are turned in Pine Bluff just now because it is with him to say whether or not this city is to have saloons this year, returned home from St. Louis last night at 10:30 o'clock over the Iron Mountain He spent yesterday in Little Rock and while there attended the meeting called by Governor George w. Hays for the purpose of devising ways and means whereby Arkansas might be suitably represented with a state building and exhibits at the Panama Exposition in Frisco next year. He was one of the speakers at this gathering and assured the delegates that Jefferson county would do it's part to properly advertise the wonderful resources of this great commonwealth.
 Upon his arrival home last night. Judge Philpot, when questioned by Graphic representative, said that he would decide the liquor license case one way or the other today. He would not say just when he would give out his decision, whether it would bye in the morning or the after- noon or wait until tonight.
 "l want to first talk with the at torneys representing the remons- trants and the petitioners" said Judge Philpot. "Then I will give out my decision. I don't know just what l will do, at least I have nothing to say as to the outcome of the case. I would prefer to give out the decision in my office quietly and without so much display, for I fear that the court house will be crowded through out the day. I want to get rid of this thing as nicely as I can, without any unnecessary demonstration on either side."
 Judge Philpot was asked if he had any comment to make concerning the action of the city council in granting
 
 licenses to nineteen liquor and malt dealers on Tuesday night. He said that he did not know what action the council had taken, other than what was told him in Little Rock yester- day. He would not discuss the mat ter at all.
 Judge Philpot was accompanied to St. Louis by Attorney Creed Cald- well. They went there as officials of Road Improvement District No. 5, known as the Pine Bluff and Moscow macadam road district, with view to securing reduction in the freight rate from Little Rock to Pine Bluff on crushed rock, which is to be furnished by the district. They were to confer with MT. Perkins, traffic manager for the Iron Mountain, but he was out of the city. They took the matter up with his subordinates and left the facts and figures there for MT. Perkins inspection. It, is hoped that he will grant the request of the district officials. The present rate is ? cents per hundred pounds. but the company has promised to re- duce this to 1-2 per cent. Judge Philpot believes that favorable re- port will be made by MT. Perkins.
