IMPORTANT BOOZE RULING
BY EAST SIDE FEDERAL
JUDGE

Muskogee, Okla, Dec 24.-Judge
Ralph e. Campbell of the Unitec
States district court in sustaining a
demurrer to liquor indictment, has
held that under the federal liquor law
for Oklahoma, proof of the actual sale
of liquor was not enough to secure a
conviction in case of that nature.
The decision of Judge Campbell fol-
lows and amplifies the recent deci-
sion of the circuit court which held
that mere possession of liquor in
Oklahoma did not alone constitute in
PRODUCING it into this state. The find
ing of the court today means that
liquor convictions can be taken only
in cases where it is shown that the
liquor has been brought into the state
from a point outside. The United
States attorneys office here announc-
ed that it will take the case to the
supreme court on a writ of error

the Cresson discovery, two more i'm
portant strikes have just been report
! ed in the Cripple Creek district One
of these is a gold vein so feet wide
showing $40 ore, on the Jackpot
property.
Mining men are greatly ecited over
these discoveries and are predicting
a repetition of the boom days in the
district. The Golden Cycle and Vim
dicator companies are planning, it is
said, to increase their dividend rates
for the forthcoming year.
Thomas r.. Henahen, state mining
commissioner, returned last night
from Cripple Creek, where ne made
tour of the "vug" or cave of gold,
recently opened in the Cresson mine.
He, like other experts, declares the
strike is beyond computation, and the
sight of a chamber of solid gold ar
most beyond description.
Henahen declares that the strike
proves to him that Cripple Creek,
despite its remarkable record of gold
and silver production in the last -
years, has not been Scratched" and
that the further down the miners so
the more gold they will find.

Cotton in Country Damaged.

John L. McLaurin, state warehouse
commissioner, in an open letter to
Robert NJ. Copper of Wysacky, made it
clear that the state could not give
guarantees on the purchase or the
lending of money on cotton which had
been damaged before application
was made for storage.
Wherever the commissioner has
heen over the state, he has observed
hundreds of bales of cotton, strewed
in wards, without even skids beneath

earth.
Mr.. Cooper calls attention to this

sioner emphasizes hat the borrowing

Enormous War Cost

London.-David Lloyd-George, chan

of commons, estimated that one year
of war would cost England 450, O00, 900
pounds (S2,25O, 900, OOO), the largest
amount Great Britain ever has spent,
and more than twice what was spent
in the four years conflict in South
Africa. To pay this enormous bill the
government has decided, he said, to
raise a loan of $50, 900, 900 pounds (s1,-
$780, 900, OOO), which would be issued
at 95, zeal interest at the rate Of 3 1-2
per cent and be redeemable at par

ceived messages from Captain Deck,
er of the cruiser Tennessee, and Cap
tain Omar Of the cruiser North Caro-
lima, acknowledging receipt of aordef
that no action be taken in Turkish
waters without specific instructions,
but neither commander supplied adj
ditional details of the firing at the
Tennessee's launch at Smyrna sew
eral days 60. The state department
is still without advices from Ambas-
sador Morgenthau.
Secretary Daniels said he thought
Captain Decker probably was waiting
to get into communication with Am
basador Morgenthau before making
a complete reporc.
The state department officials esti-
mated that from past delays in mes
sages from Constantinople they should
hear from Ambassador Morgenthau
soon and a more complete description
of the incident was expected from
Captain Decker at about the same
time.
1t is thought probable that as a
result of the mining Of several Turk
ish ports and the sensttiveness Of
the Ottoman government to the near
ness of foreign warships, the Ameri-
can cruiers may be ordered to anchor
off Chicos, Greece, where the Tennes-
see now is. The North Carolina is at
Beirut, Asia Minor.
Neither Of the warships will be
withdrawn from the western Medi-
terranean, it was stated at the navy
department, no matter what is the
outcome Of the Smyrna incident. It
is thought advisable that they be kept
within easy reach of Turkish ports to
afford assistance to distressed Amer.

Twn Warehouses Are Taken Over.

two Warehouses Are Taken Over.
Two new warehouses in New
berry county were accepted a few
days ago by John L. McLaurin, state
warehouse commissioner. Both OF
these houses are of the emergency
type, and the one at Prosperity, owned
by A. G.. Wise, has been formally trans
ferred and the paper signed. Sena.
tor McLaurin took A. W. Bolin with
him as insurance inspector, 30 as to
see exactly what the companies would
do On this type Of house. The follow
ing information should be of interest
and value OF the farmers of the state,
showing how cheaply cotton can be
stored under the state warehouse plan
and a receipt given which can be
used as a collateral:
The application blank shows an iron
corrugated warehouse, 80 by 100, IL
feet between floor and joists. The ap-
~plication shows that the total cost OF
construction was 1912. The cost of
the corrugated iron was 1927, and
Mr.. Wise said that the lumber, nails
and labor did not exceed s75. 1t has
a door in each end, and two doors IN
each side. 1t has been in use n
week, has 200 bales Of cotton, with a
capacity Of 900, and is so arranged
that more sections can be added as
needed.
Senator McLaurin took it over at a
nominal rent of 81 per year, and ap-
pointed A. Birge Wise manager with
a salary of 81 per annum. The charge
for storage will be 20 cents per bale,
out of which the state will receive
g cents per bale per month and the
balance will go as rent to A. G. Wise,
who built the house, Senator McLaur-
III appointed A. Birge Wise weigher
and grader for any cotton offered at
any state warehouse in Newberry
county. He is to charge 5 cents per
bale for each bale Of cotton weighed
and graded. Thus, 30 far as the oper-
alton Is concerned 1t will be 81 per
year. When it comes to labor, Mr..
Wise will use his farm hands. The
rate of insurance fixed by Mr.. Bolin
was SITS per 500 yer year, and this
in the form Of an open policy for the
full capacity, with a report as cotton
comes in, SO that insurance Is paid
only on what is actually in the
house.
Senator McLaurin said that, out
side Of the cost of the building, he
figured it would cost MI. Wise only
$1.06 a year to store this cotton, in
Guiding insurance and all other ex-
penses pei bale, or 8 % cents per
month.
"Any three or four farmers can go
in and do the same thing, which Is
much better than paying the freight
to Columbia, and 80 cents per bale,
each month, especially when consider
ing the superiority of a receipt from
the State of lCouth Carolina, guaran-
teeing title, weight, grade and deliv.
cry of the Identical BALE" said Mr..
McLaurin. Such paper Is bound to
win its way in the commercial world"

tiff attributes the war to four causes,
namely, lack of mutual and sincere
love among men; contempt Of author
ity; injustice on the part Of Il class
of the people against another, and the
consideration Of material welfare as
the sole object of human activity. The
encyclical begins by tracing q horri-
BILE picture of the present war, calling
upon the rulers to end the var
