Speaking Thro' The Air

The old world is moving some. A few years ago the wireless telegraph invention startled the world. Now it is the wireless telephone.
 Wireless telephone messages sent out by the Bell engineers from the wireless station at Arlington. Va. near Washington, D. C.. have been received at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Satis- factory talk was carried on by means of the apparatus develop ed under the direction of J. J. Carty, Chief Engineer, Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph Co.
 B. B. Webb. one of the Bell engineers, spoke and was heard by several French officers and by. H. E. Shreeve and A. F. Curtis, the representatives of the American Telephone & Tele- graph Go. While. tests have succeeded before, no mention was made of the fact out of courtesy to the French govern ment.

Jurisdiction is conferred upon the chancery and circuit courts of this state to abate such nuisances by seizing and destroy ing intoxicating liquors found on the premises in addition to other penalties.
 By the provisions of the New berry act it will be seen that it is made a felony for any person to even give away intoxicating liquors in this state after Jan. 1, 1916. It is this feature of the law that seems to puzzle the great body of people. Attorneys say the act will prohibit anyone from giving a drink of intoxi- cants at his home or any other place in the state. It IS this feature of the law that has caused a large number of citizens to seek its repeal. and in the event the repeal measure is initiated at the election to be held in November, 1916, many voters will cast their ballot for it's repeal who would not have opposed the repeal if that sec tion of the law were eliminated from the act.
 Under the construction placed upon the statewide prohibition act by attorneys it is made fel- ony for growers of grapes to manufacture their products into wine.

 cal Issus.

Little Rock, Oct. IS. Not withstanding much publicity was given the statewide pro- hibition act passed by the last legislature, judging from in- ouiries received from all sec tions of the state during the past few weeks by the Conner cial Appeal bureau. it is evident that many people in Arkansas are still of the opinion that the Going law is the only statue in force on the liquor question. While the Going law was not re- pealed by the Newberry act, but made cumulative. no petitions for the sale of intoxicating liquors can be presented to coun- ty courts from and after Jan. l, 1916..
 The act passed by the last legislature prohibits the issu- ance of licenses by any county judge, city council or any repre- sentative thereof to manufac- ture, sell, barter or give away intoxicating liquors any kind anywhere within the state of Arkansas. Section 2 of the act provides the law shall take effect Jan. l, 1915. Section 3 provides that violation of the act shall constitute a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Courts are not permitted to suspend .sentence or permit plea of o,,ilty to be entered and con- tinue the case for a second offeune. Section 4 makes the act cumulative to all liquor laws n force at the time the act was passsd.
