Detroit, Saturday night. He decided

Several typewritten manuscripts In

MEMPHIS SALOON MEN KEEPING LID TIGHT so FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO EF- FORT TO MAKE TEST OF
 NUISANCE LAW. Federal Licenses Have Been Surrend- cred But Many of Places Still
 Remain Open.

Memphis, March 3-Memphis was so "dry" yesterday that the attorney general did not enjoin anyone to se- cure the enforcement of the nuisance act.
 One thousand rounds of ammuni- tion in the shape of an edition of printed injunctions, needing only the attorney generals signature to be propelled against any person with te- merity enough to relieve the suffering thirsty proved unnecessary. Gen. Estes has stored them away for fu- 1 ture need. -.1 While few uptown saloons have closed their doors, most, if not all, of them have surrendered their licenses. 1 To all outward appearances the law 1 is being obeyed. No liquor was dis played. There were a good many wanderers in the desert, but there was no official report that an oasis had been found, although there were indications that the lid did not fit so tightly as it did on Sunday. Government licenses to the num- Der of 662 have been surrendered to the attorney general. The records show that 715 are to be accounted for. Taking into account wholesale liquor dealers, druggists and boats on the river the surrender seems to be complete.
 A few belated ones were turned in yesterday. They aggregated S6, and for the most part were from resorts in the restricted district.
 The Hotel Chisca and Hotel Gayoso and the Peabody Hotel, it is under stood, intend to keep their licenses. The contention is expected that the government will require a license for liquors used in the preparation of foods, such as rum omelettes, etc.
 Gen. Estes states that every place retaining a license under any pretext will be put under strict surveillance and that ifjunctions will follow the I slightest suspicion.
 His statement applies to druggists and others who have the right to sell alcohol under certain conditions. De tectives probably will be put to work within the next day or two to ascer- tain how we'll the law is being ob- served.
 The law does not prohibit the own- ership of license. It makes the H. cense prima facie evidence of guilt The burden of proof shifts to the shoulders of the defendant to prove innocence.

BULGARIAN KING . FERDINAND COMING Will Shortly Pay Visit to
 Cities of the United
 States. HERE ONCE BEFORE. Has Been Ruling His Country for Twenty.Seyen Years, Despite Re- ports of AbdicatiOns..
HERE ONCE BEFORE

New York, March 3.-CZar Ferdi- nand is coming to the United States. The Man Who Would Be King, and was was and is king, and, what is more, czar, is coming to America With Queen Eleanora, the Princess Eudoxia and many of the leaders of his coun- try. Ferdinand of Bulgaria will come to the United States next month. He is looking for new ideas, American ideas, for this ruler is the apostle oi modern ideas to his people.
 There was a time when the world thought Ferdinand would never be anything more than the Man Who Would Be King. When the young Prince of Saxe-Coburg was consider ing the offer of the Bulgarian leaders Bismarck succinctly remarked to him:
 "Take it, young man, it will always be a pleasant reminiscence." But it was twenty-seven years age when. Ferdinand first began to rule l the Bulgarians and the experience isn't a reminiscence yet. Every year there are rumors Ferdinand is going to abdicate, Ferdinand is going to be assassinated, Ferdinand is tired o1 his job, and some power or other is going to give Ferdinand the experl- ence of his predecessor, who was practically kidnapped by the Rus sians.
 But every January 1st Ferdinand l is there on hand, as usual, working full office hours, drilling his troops scheming with his captains of indus try planning new railroads anc ports. intriguing in regal fashion, anc altogether doing business at the, ol( stand.
 This is not the first time that Fer dinand has seen America. In 1879 ht visited his brother, Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg, who had married tht younger of the two daughters of the i Emperor Dom Pedro, of Brazil. The Princess made a long botanical voy age in the interior of South America and when Ferdinand returned to Eu rope he wrote it up in Latin that l could be read by all scientists. Th' visit of Ferdinand here eight year: before he ascended the throne, did no attract much attention, and little Was
 written about it.

MAY TRY RAINE
 AT EARLY DATE
OTHER CASES MAY BE SIDE. TRACKED IN ORDER TO GIVE
 BANK QUICK HEARING.
Plans are Being Made to Have Case Before That of Neuhardt, Former
 ChickasaW Bank Head.

Memphis, March 3.-There is a prospect not remote that c. H. Raine, now in jail for wrecking the Mercan- tile Bank will be tried before dis position is made of charges against G. E. Neuhardt, president of the de- funct ChickasaW Bank and Trust Company.
 The Chickasaw Bank failed 13 months to a day before the Mercantile gave up the ghost More than 60 in dctments resulted. Twelve fell by the wayside for errors or insufficient cies in drawing them. They charged the making of false statements; 44 more, which charged receiving money into an insolvent bank, found no fla vor with the court. Judge Jesse Ed gington held that the law upon which they were based was unconstitutional.
 z. N. Estes, attorney general, serv- ed notice of appeal from Judge Edg- ington's decision on the constitution ality of the act. The record in the case will be filed with the Supreme Court clerk at Jackson today.
 The defendants named in the indict- ments are s. l.. Sparks, cashier; P. J. Nelson, teller and Neuhardt.
 Judge Edgington held that the banking act which was in force when the Chickasaw Bank failed was class legislation and unconstitutional be- cause it made it felony for one class of bankers to do thing which was not an offense if committed by oth- CTS. The law has since been amend ed to include all classes of bankers.
 General Estes states that he will make no attempt to try Neuhardt on remaining indictments until the Su preme Court has rendered it's decis- ion.
 Excluding the appealed cases, Neu- hardt is the only person now ulder indictment groding out of the failure of the Chickasaw Bank. He is not charged with having defrauded the Chickasaw Bank, but an investigation of the books of that institution dis closed transactions involving abou1 $S,5O0 with the Atlas Mortgage Trust Company.
 Neuhardt is charged in 12 indict- ments with having forged the name o1 the Atlas company and with having committed embezzlement, larceny and fraudulent breach of trust of its funds. fM; He was that company's vice presi- dent and attorney, and it is claimed signed checks transferring funds for his benefit. It is charged that he. had no authority to sign the checks.
 It is mandatory upon courts to dis. miss embezzlement charges when the embezzlement has been adjusted. Lar , ceny and fraudulent breach of trust cannot be settled in that way.
 General Estes states that he has information that Neuhardt has refund ed the amount of checks he is said to have drawn on the Atlas Mort gage Company.
