SUPREME COURT IS REVERSED

Washington, March 2.-The XII
never liquor case, one of first I'M
portance to the prohibition laws OF
Kansas, was decided in the supreme
court today against the state.
Il was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to Dust various
wholesale liquor dealers from doing
business in Leavenworth, Kan, M
Kirmeyer went across the river INTO
Missouri and established ware
house and continued to deliver Deer
IN Kansas. The Kansas supreme
court held that his removal was 2
mere device to evade the Kansas
liouor law and that the trade was
not interstate commerce in goou
faith"
The supreme court today held
that Kirmeyer was entitled, under
preyious decisions Of the court 10
protection for his trade as inter
atate commerce and dismissed an
injunction issued by the Kansas su-
preme court.
Justice McReynolds stated in the
opinion that the Kirmeyer case
arose before the passage OF the
Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting snip
meuts from wet to dry territory and
Abat neither its construction nor
application was involved or would
ne passed on. Advocates OF the
Webb-Kenyon law claim that mea-
sure would apply to such cases now

Topeka, Feb. 27-The house pass

ISOLATION law to take In farm as
we'll as city property. The measure
allows new building and loan as1o-
Citations to be Incorporated especially
to handle farm lands and homes. on

also provides that the activities OF
the city building and loan associa-
tons may be extended to the rural
communities.
The Stone bill making the place
of delivery OF intoxicating liquor the
place OF sale was passed by the house
only seven votes being cast against
II. The measure is the most drastic
prohibition bill passed by the pres
ent legislature, which already has
provided that the names Of all per-
sons receiving shipments of liquor
be published once month In the
official county paper. The Stone
measure is identical with one de-
clared constitutional last month by
the United States circuit court In
West Virginia.
Three Other Liquor Bills Pass
The measure carries a provision
allowing the shipment OF liquor for
communion and other lawful pur-
poses. Three other liquor bills were
Ipassed by the house. One makes the
city attorney jointly responsible
with the county attorney for the vio-
Ilation of the prohibitory law; an
other makes each violation of the
law a separate offense in the case
of persistent violations, subjecting
the jointist to a penitentiary SEN
tence. The last makes it impossible
for a registered pharmacist to re-
main employed in drug store where
LIQUOR Is sold.
By a vote of sixty-three to fifty
three the house decided to abolish
the non-partisan judiciary in Kansas
as a piece of pernicious legislation.
Senate Good to Schools
The senate, on third reading, pass
ed the $4,S56,356 educational insti-
tutions appropriation bill.
The senate bill is more than ST.
900 900 in excess of the decision OF
the house ways and means commit
tee for appropriations for the state
schools, and the house probably Will
trim the senate bill radically.

After Many Years

The publisher of the Journal
had the pleasure the past week
of meeting an old friend in the
person of Paul Cunningham. who
was reared at Verona, but left
there a number of years ago to
seek his fortunes in the north.
Mr.. Cunningham is the son of
the late DR.. R. C. Cunningham
and a half brother to T. G. Ash
croft, now one of the commits
sioners of the city government
of Memphis.
Mr.. Cunningham married at
Des Moines, Iowa, several years
ago, where he still resides. He
and his wife spent several days
with his sister. Mrs. M. H. Bass,
near Plantersville. They re-
turned home the first of the
week.
Many char ges had taken place

improvements in the Business
District

The building occupied by Mr..
j. C. Davis as a Five and Ten
Cent Store on Spring street, is
receiving a two story addition of
thirty feet, which will cover the
entire lot to the alley. This will
enable Mr.. Davis to very mate
rally increase his floor space and
furnish him room to carry a
much larger line of goods, which
has been made necessary by his
constantly increasing business.
This addition will be completed
within the next few weeks and
the store will be made ready for
the great holiday rush which all
of our merchants are anticipating.
Mentzel's Quality Bakery will
move today from the old stand
on Spring street to the new stand
on Main street and will be ready
for business there tomorrow.
The new place has been provided
with every modern facility and
Tupelo will be able to boast Of
strictly up-to-date bakery. A
new oven has just been com
pIeted at a cost of 81, 10000.
The manufacturers sent a man
here from Cincinnati TO install
it, and its capacity will enable
the bakery to very materially
extend their rapidly growing
business.
DR.. l.. C. Feemster has pur-
chased the Riley building on
Broadway and the contract has
been let to Leake & Goodlett to
thoroughly overhaul and modern
ize the building for commercial
purposes. Two we'll equipped
stores with tile floors will be fit
ted no on the ground floor, while
the second floor will be convert
ed into Offices for professional
and business men. The build
ing will have a very handsome
new front which will add greatly
to the atfractiveness of this part
of Broadway.
