PROHIBITION LAW IS
GIVEN A BLACK EYE
So Far as the Clause Referring
to Public Buildings and
Parks Are Concerned.

Andy Tillman was acQftted by jury
in the court of justice jackson v.
Carter, late Thursday afternoon on
charge of violating the state proh1-
bition law by having liquor on MS
person at Norwood park recently. IT
was the third hearing given him, jur-
les at the two other hearings having
failed to agree on a verdict.
Tillman's counsel raised two coz
stitutional points, One was as to the
provision in the law making 1t uE-
lawful for any person, for personal
use or otherwise, to have liquor In
public building. park. road or alley,
the contention being that such clause
unjustly inflicted punirhment OF
on man that was not
and that the penalty was
disproportionate to the offense.
The other constitutional question
raised was that no act can embrace
any purpose not stated in the title,
and hence the clause relating to pup
lie buildings, parks and the IKE is IN
valid because the laws title merely
states that it Is an act to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of tntoxicants
and making the state tax commission
er ex-offlcio commissioner Of prohi-
bition.
The most serious contention OF the
defense, however, was that Norwood
park is privated and not a public
park. as it is operated by private err
terprise and admission charged,
while public park is one open to
the public without charge. such as
the front part of the court house. The
Jury is thought to have given this
contention more serfou reconsideration
than the other points raised and
probably based its verdict thereon.

LONDON. July 3O.-Warsaw, the
third city of Russia and the goal for
which the German armies in the Ea st
have been striving since october, Is at
least on the throes of abandonment.
Germans in overwhelming numbers
are at the gates OF Warsaw and des.
patches from both the city itself and
from Petrograd say that further re-
sistance would be unwise.
Discounted not only through France
and England but in Russia itself the
fall of the cit yis expected hourly,
and the problem now is to move the
Russian armies intact, threatened as
they are from the south by the Austro-
Germans and more seriously from the
north, where the German forces wich
have swept through Poland are aim ing

PARDONS FOR
LEGISLATORS
Convicted of Accepting Brides
in Sensational Election
Granted by Governor.

CHARLESTON, July 30-Goyern-
or Hatfield granted conditional par
dons late Thursday to five former
members of the legislature who We're
convicted in August, 1913, OF having
accepted brides to vote for William
Seymour Edwards for United States
senator. The men were sentenced to
terms of rom five to six years impris-
onment and have served two years.
The governor issued q statement IN
which said he thought the ends of
Justice had been met with the SEN
fences so far served. The men thus
pardoned are:
DR.. A. s. Smith, Roane county
s. q. G.. Rhodes, Mingo county.
DR.. H. F Asbury, Putnam county.
Rath Duff, Jackson county.
David Hill, Mason county.
Governor Hatfield issued the FOL
lowing statement:
1.-THE two years OF confinement
that has been undergone by the leg
islature members who were convicted
of accepting brides for their votes In
the legislative contest for United
States senator in 1913 has brought
each one to a sense of RELAXATION OF
the crime committed against society
and the welfare of the state. Tho
deep humiliation and sense of shame
witch as come to each one mas Deen
more than any physical punishment
could be and I believe that further
confinement will not add to that pun
fshment, but will only work a greater
hardship upon the innocent ones
who are dependent upon those who
have paid heavy penalty for their
crime.
..Those who took part in the pros
Iecution, Mr.. T. c. Townsend, the
prosecuting attorney OF Kanawha
county. ex-CVongressman S. B. Avis.
the Hon. e. L. Morton, together with
Judge William s.. 0sBrfen, who pre-
sided in the trial at Webster Springs,
and all others actively identified with
the case have recommended to me
that the men be released on condi-
tional pardons; thousands of per-
sons in practically every county, In
the state have signe< petitions which
have been presented to me urging
executive clemency.
"I have come to the conclusion
that the ends Of justice have been
met and further confinement will
only deprive those unfortunate men
of the oportunity to live down and
forget their error and become useful
lcitizens of the state in the future"
