PROHIBITION LAW
 FACTOR IN SUIT
 OVER RENT CLAIM
Jury Decides " S vim 2 Clause" Of Lease Protects
 l.. X l.. Wertheimer.

Judgment for the defendant was rendered yesterday afternoon by a jury in the circuit court in the ease of the Citizens Bank building vs. l.. & F. Worthcimer, being 9 suit for
 $500, which amount is claimed as due on a rent contract.
 The suit has been carried to the supreme court once. where if was re- versed. and will bc taken to the high est state tribunal again.
 The litigation is, in a way, an outgrowth Of tho alcoholic drouth that has prevailed in Pine Bluff. The contract by which the Werthoimer firm leased 8 building from the plaintiff contained clause to tho effect that should the sale of liquor bc prohibited, the lcssees could terminate the contract by giving mo- tice.
 The defendants contested payment of the amount claimed on the ground that they had terminated the contract and vacated the building. the plain tiff contending, however, that the sale of liquor was not prohibited Tn 1914 and, that, therefore. there was no ground for termination of the agreement.
 In the case of J. N. Garrett vs. Phyllis Cummins, the plaintiff failed to appear, and the suit was dismiss ed on motion of defendant, who was given judgment for costs. The garnishee, Elem Berry, was ordered to pay to defendant the sum of &2o he admitted having in his possession and which belonged to defendant.
 On motion of plaintiff in the suit Of Lucy P. Renfro vs. G. 0. Porter, the judgment for possession of prop erty described in petition, was set aside.
 On motion of defendant, the suit of A. NJ. Morrow vs. Evan Parnell ct al. was dismissed at plaintiffs cost.
