Especial Charleston Correspondence)
Cbarleston.-The supreme court has
heard arguments in the now noted
-'good roads law case" in which the
validity of the section allowing JUS
tces of the peace to release prisoners
held for liquor law violations is ques-
toned. The style OF the case is w. S.
Hallanan against w. S. Thompson, JUS
tice of the peace.
Justice Thompson was called be-
fore the court upon writ of prohi-
bition preventing him from releas-
ing 1. S. Fine, held for a $500 fine
and so, day jail sentence for infrac-
tion of the liquor laws
Fines attorneys claimed that under
Section IA, Chapter &c. of the acts of
the Legislature of 1917. this authority
is given justices upon ten days noti-
fcation of the prosecuting attorney
The state tax commissioner is stub
bornly contending against the release
of Fine and full argument in the case
was heard by the court.
Judge j. T. Sims represented the
state and A. A. Lilly the respondent to
the writ
One of the claims OF the state is
that the governor will have to share
with the justices the pardoning power
in liquor law violation cases If the sec

Buenos Ayres.-The downtown sec

great anti-German demonstrations in
which thousands took part
Many of those in the mobs carried
hrebrands. and as a result scores OF
buildings were set on fire. Several

Among the structures attacked
were the German Club. one of the
finest edifices in the city, and the
building of German daily, La Union.
AS fast as fires in these buildings
were extinguished they were started
again.
Mounted patrols and the entire fire
department kept rushing from one
part of the city to another in an
attempt to quell the riots and put
down the flames. In several in

to shoot at those welding torches
were set upon by the crowds and dis

Masked Batteries of Foe Fail to Stop

London.-The crest OF Monte San
Gabrielle, commanding the plain of
Gorilla to the south and southeast and
the Frigido Valley to the east. has been
captured by the Italians after three
weeks of the most bitter fighting, the
Italian Embassy at Washington an
nounces.
This news of the victory, probably
the greatest feat OF the Italian arms
thus far in the war precedes the latest
official report from Rome.
The Italian effort TO capture San
Gabrielle began after the taking of
Monte Santo, directly north. by Gen
eral Cadorna's troops on Aug. 25. Sew
eral times the Italians had reached the
summit OF the Great Mountain so inn
portant to their further progress east
OF Gorilla, as we'll as on the Carso,
only to be beaten back again. On the
slopes of the rugged rock in the past
few weeks has occurred some OF the
heaviest and most sanguinaTy fighting
OF the war. with the Italians hurting
themselves forward in desperate at
tacks and the Austrians holding to the
crest as desperately.
San Gabriele's top was occupied by
the Italians. the embassy reports, afte-
the fortified hill or saddle of Dol and
the Garzaro basin, the main bulk OF
San Gabrielle, had been taken. The
Austrians, however, still cling to some
positions on the mountain In the for.

repulsed with heavy losses Berlin
says German troops penetrated to the
second French line and inflicted severe
casualties. The British artillery fire
in Flanders, Berlin reports. has in.
creased to drumfire.
The political situation in Russia is
still somewhat beclouded The revolt
of General Korniloff apparently has
failed dismally. but the former com
mander-in-chief of the Russian armies
has not yet surrendered TO the pro
visional government. General Krymoff

Next Contingent off Soon.

All plans for the mobilization of
the second contingent of soldiers for
the national army are tentative and
subject TO change at any time. 1t is
expected that the next forty per cent
of the quotas will be sent within the
next few days, but it all depends on
conditions at Camp Lee, Petersburg.
Cards announcing the call are ready
to be sent out by all local boards, but
nothing can be done until the matter
is settled definitely Many men are
still trying to have their cases reopen
ed by the local board even after they
have been certified back for service
by the federal district board The 10.
cal exemption boards are refusing to
reopen the cases because it would
''let down the bars" and cause men
whose claim was rejected to want the
same thing done. In some cases the
men are being obliged by allowing
them to remain until the last mobili.
zation call. 1t is necessary for some
men to close up their business, sell
out, or transfer it. before they can
really be ready to go.
There has been some misunder.
standing as to the privilege of ap-
pealing to the President Only cases
based on industrial exemption can be
appealed to the President.
