CITIES AND COUNTIES
CANNOT PREVENT 1T.
Attorney General Moose Says There Is
No Law to Stop Shipments Of
Liquor Into Dry Towns.

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-In the opin-
ion of Attorney General Moose it is
not within the power of municipal
ity to prevent the shipment of LID
uor into a town. He has written
Mayor o. o. Womble, of Womble, as
follows:
81 do not think your town council
or the county judge in behalf of the
county, or the circuit Judge in behalf
of the district, would have the right
to prevent express and railroad COM
panies from delivering intoxicating
liquors in your town. or county, or
district. Municipal corporations
have no legislative powers except
those conferred upon them by the
constitution and laws of the state.
The Legislature has not seen fit to
confer such power on municipalities"
He holds, however, that Sunday de-
livery of intoxicants can be prohibit
ed as violation of the act against
Sabbath breaking. saa

Hardwood Manufacturers
Discuss Many Matters Of
Interest to Producers.
ELECT NEW OFFICERS.
Steel Car "Hysteria" Is Commented
On and Good Salesmanship
Is Urged.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 22.-The
Hardwood Lumbermen's Manufacture
ers' Association at it's closing session
today elected the following officers:
President, J. Fl. Himmelberger, Cape
Girardeau, Mo-; First Vice President,
B. B. Burns, Huntingdon, West Va;
Second Vice President, Ralph May,
Memphis; Treasurer, c. NJ. Crawford,
Cold Grove, Ohio; Secretary, w. H.
Weller, Cincinnati. After the election
of officers the convention adjourned.
J. E. Rhodes, of Chicago, was the
principal speaker of the afternoon.
He warned the lumbermen to take
steps to combat the steel car "hys-
terra" that is sweeping over the
country.
"The lumber interests seem to bd
gonig backward. If government stat
istics may be taken as medium OF
comparison" stated Mr.. Rhodes. "1n
1918, the same amount of lumber was
used as in 1912, and in 1911 the de-
mand was greater than in 1912. This
is in spite of the fact that the popula-
ton of the country is increasing an
nually and at the rate OF 2.5OO,OOO
people.
insurance statistics show US that
the greatest fire losses came not
from wooden buildings, but from the
so-called fire proof structures. The
insurance rate is cheaper on wood
en- structure with sprinkler appar-
atus, than building Of brick and
steel. But the public and the build-'
err do no know this"
Trust methods to recuperate the
loss of a smaller production In lum-
Der were limited at by Mr.. Rhodes.
Along these lines he said:
1--WE must increase the cost OF lum-
her. We must educate our statesmen
to- use better methods. II you have
supply of timber standing you Will
sustain a loss unless the value OF
lumber increases 100 per cent in sew
en- years"

ber," by Kraetzer, Of Chicgao. AFFORD
ed a great deal of information to the
lumbermen. Reports from various
committees were listed to late In
the afternoon. They contained many
recommendations Of measures advo-
Gated since the conference has been
in session. 1t was followed by gen.
eral discussion of business conditions
by the delegates.

JAPAN DEMANDS SOME
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Ambassador Chinda Gives Out Some
Court Utterances From the
MikadO Land.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Ambassador
Chinda, of Japan, gave out tonight
without the knowledge of the Presi-
dent or Secretary of State Bryan,

tinue this work at any hazard. Re-
,peated reference is made by Minister
Makido to the Anglo-Japanese ALI
ance which he says "is expected in
the future to give even greater proof
of it's efficiency in the maintenance
Of peace"
The /. N. S. was informed at the
Japanese embassy that Minister
Makido cabled Ambassador Chinda
several days ago that he would be
compelled by the national Senate OF
Japan to adopt this plan OF publ

as attorney for the petitioners
for whiskey. The incident was
the subject of much comment.
s. That the author of what has
been misquoted so frequently as
a prohibition law should appear
in behalf of the saloon men to
obtain the right to sell liquor is
= taken by many to be of suffi
cient Importance that the pro-

IS IRENE interest in other counties.

'CAVALRYMEN RIDE
down STRIKE MOB
Trinidad, COL, Scene of Riot
and Possibly, More
Trouble.
AFTER MOTHER JONES.
Strikers and Women Were AttemDt.
ing Rescue When Soldiers Ride
Them Down and Make Arrests,

Trinidad, Col. ia. 22.-Mounted
militia men, with drawn swords this
afternoon repeatedly charged a
crowd of 1900 strikers and strike
sympathizers who attempted to march
through the city to the San Rafael
hospital to secure Mother" Jones,
who is held by the military authori-
ties.
Rocks and sticks were Gu.ied a.
the soldiers by throng of excited
women. Numerous arrests We're
made. The soldiers repeatedly rode
down crowds, but as far as known,
no one was hurt.
The banners which the women car
ried were torn to shreds when the
soldiers charged with drawn swords
and in the scattering many children
barely escaped being crushed under
the hoofs of the racing chargers. The
trouble started when the soldiers
hailed a procession of women enroute
to the hospital. When the order to
dis eis. was de lvered M .. sew
.eral hundred men went to The
rescue of the women.
The calvary turned its attention to
the men and while this engaged the
women attempted to proceed on
their march toward the hospital. The
women were again turned back, but
.harge"d. Won eu arg children
scattered in all directions.
AS many of the paradefs anu
sympathizers as could be collected
were marched to the center Oh the
city where twenty men were placed
under arrest and taken to the mill
tary prison.
Sympathizers joined in a second
outbreak in which sticks and stones
were thrown at the militia. The sit
uation is exceedingly tense and fur
Their outbreaks are liable to occur
at any moment.

show that persons who signed the
petition, and who have been cnal-
lenged, do reside in this city, or were
bona fide residents at the time they
signed the petition.
During the conference late in the
afternoon just previous to the adj
journment, Judge Jones, represent
ing the liquor interests, declared that
he expected to show that testimony
of persons that certain parties sign
ing the petition do not reside in the
city, or are not known is incompe-
tent testimony. The remonstrants
have placed Witnesses on the stand to
testify they did not know certain
persons whose names were signed
to the petition, and in these
Instances the names have been chal-
lenged.
Judge Philpot has 1ot given rul-
ings as to individual cases as yet
and will sum them up at one time
presumably, from the course he hal
taken. He has made copious notes
and taken down names and listed the
names which have been challenged
The testimony of yesterday morn
ing and afternoon was practically
the same as of previous days, the
remonstrants challenging many
names on the ground that persons
are not residents of the city, are
minors, live outside the city llmits
or have given wrong addresses. and
in some instances, have signed the
liquor petition twice.
The hearing is to be taken uI
again at 9 o'clock this morning.

big COTTON FIRE
At MEMPHIS, Tenn.
5000 Bales and Two Big
Warehouses Were Con-
sumed by the Flames.
FIREMEN ARE HURT.
Loss Is Estimated at 5000, O00-Sev.
eral Cotton Firms Suffer
! Losses.
FIREMEN ARE HURT.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 22.-Late this
evening fire which had consumed
5000 bales of cotton, entailing a loss
of 100000, and had caused the de-
struction of E. w. Trout & Co.'S cot
ton warehouses, was still shoulder
ing. The loss on the cotton shed is
placed at $4,000.
The fire was discovered in the
northwest corner of the shed by Mr..
Trout, who Immediately turned in the
alarm. It is believed the fire original
ed in some bales recently stored in
the warehouse, and which, it is alleg-
ed, had been afire several days before
being brought to the Trout sheds.
Most of the company's books and
records were in a safe which is bur-
led in the debris, and for that reason
it was impossible for Mr.. Trout to say
tonight exactly how many bales had
been burned. Cotton men express the
belief that the cotton will be practic-
ally a total loss. A majority OF the
cotton had been stored here by George
T. Webb, J. D. Fulmer & Co., Patrick,
May & Co., and A. r. Strong, cotton
factors. All the cotton was fully in
sured.
The fire was one of the most diff
cult the Memphis department has ev-
er been called upon to fight. The
cotton burned fiercely and the heat
was so intense that the firemen en-
countered great difficulty in getting
close to the blaze.
The roof of the building fell soon
after the arrival Of the firemen and
Chief McFadden ordered his men to
dig holes through the walls with pick
axes. Many firemen showed great
bravery by taking lines through these
holes to the inside of the shed which
by that time was a seething furnace
Several pipemen sustained slight
burns as a result.
The heat caused the walls to crack
and bulge outward, and sections fell
in various places. Several members
of the salvage corps had narrow es-
canes when a part of the north wall
fell. They were endeavoring to get
close to the wall in order to play
their streams over it, and were SO
blinded by the dense smoke That tney
did not see the wall swaying.

GOING OPINION
= WAS NOT STOLEN
Moose Declares He Did Not
Opinion Was Taken from
His Office
THORNBURGH FREED
OF RJame-Did Not Want Opinion
Made Public But Holds the Go.
ing Act Unconstitutional.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 22.-That
he did not say that his opinion rem
dered on the Gong liquor law de-
claring that II is unconstitutional
was stolen or taken intentially from
his office and that he did not intend
his statement about it being y s.
ing to be construed that Col. George
Thornburgh may have taken it, was
the statement of torney General
William l.. Moose this morning. The
story in question about the missing
opinion stated that Judge Moose had
been in conference with Col George
Thornburgh, Little Rock prohibl-
ton leader, and he had talked of the
advisability of releasing the opinion
prior to the time that it had been
missed.
Gibson Witt, prosecuting attorney
of Garland County, asked for the
opinion about two weeks ago. After
it was written the attorney general
decided to withhold it for while at
least. The opinion, however, is said
to express the view of the attorney
general, who submitted it to several
prominent lawyers and a majority
who saw it con Cured with his opin-
ion. az,s@s -.
The attorney general said he
reached the conclusion about the un-
constitutionality of the act after an
exhaustive investigation. He admit
ted that the above was his opinion
and stated, however, that he did not
have an intention of letting it out.
Judge. O. H. Sumpter of Hot
Springs phoned the attorney general
yesterday and stated it is the general
impression at Hot Springs that he
had rendered an opinion on the law
to l.. S. Sawyer to the affect that it
is unconstitutional. The attorney
general denied that he had rendered
any such opinion to him. He eX-
planned that he had merely had a
conversation with Attorney Sawyer.
Attorney General Moose gave out
the following statement relative to
the missing opinion.
1.-THE account in the morning paper
of the disappearance from by office
yesterday of the opinion l had pre-
pared on the question of the consti-
tutionality of the Going Act might be
considered by persons who do not
know him as an implication that Col.
George Thornburgh may have taken
It. No one who knows that gentle
man would for a moment suspect
him as the guilty one and his large
acquaintance throughout the State is
his sufficient protection from any sus-
picion of wrong. But l felt it my
duty to state that the opinion was
in my possession for quite awhile
after the colonel left tne office, and
It is physically impossible that he

could have taken it, as we'll as NOR
ally impossible.

could have taken it, as well as NOR
ally impossible.
81 have not said at all that the
opinion was stolen, but have only
stated that it disappeared. 1t may
have been taken out of the office
Intentionally or it may have been
taken Internationally. 1t may have
been mislaid. i only know that
neither l nor my assistants have
been able to nd it. But no matter
by what means it disappeared l am
quite certain that Col. Thornburg
could have no motive for taking the
document. He knew Its Contents or
at least it's conclusion, and l had told
him that l would not give it out for
the present, and, possibly would not
do so at all. / had also tolu two
other good friends, prominent law
yers of the city, that I would not
give out the opinion without their
approval. / had asked them to share
my responsibility in the matter.
These gentlemen did not seem to
doubt the correctness or the opinion
but did question the property of CIV
ing it publicity at this time. My prin-
cipal regret at the disappearance OF
the opinion came from the reflection
that if it should be published as Off
cial. there might be suspicion that
had violated faith with my friends in
allowing it to get at large"
