Much Interest Manifest in
Outcome of Injunction
Case to Be Heard.
ARGUMENT STARTS
AT II A. M. TODAY
Upon Strength Of Decision.
Depends Future Operation
of Service Clubs.

What is regarded as a highly ims
| portant proceeding is scheduled fol
argument this morning st IL o'clock
before Judge C. M. Jones Of Sha
Court of Record. that proceeding be@
ing in part a test of the Davis Pack
age law in a new form, since at this
time it is presented in the shape OF
an injunction brought to prevent
Sheriff Van Pelt from further seiZura
of stock of liquors said to have been
kept in a service club on PalafoS
street
Two defendants were arrested as
an outcome of the sheriff's visit to
the service club some two weeks ago.
and it was then announced that the
law would have to be complied with.
At the time the sheriff acted in this
instance, the city of Pensacola was
nominally a dry city, since pending
application in the county had not
been finally passed on and allowed
by the board of county commissioners,
and in the nature of things no liquor
could be legally disposed of in this
city. The service club, it is stated,
was maintained by Jos. HiI1iard. bit
it is understood, and will probably he
so argued today, that it was owned
or the stock was owned, by William
Camp, proprietor of a saloon adjo:n-
ing. These arrests were followed
with the sheriff's announcement that
should the place open for business
again, it would mean that available
stock be lconfiscated. This announce
ment was followed by the injunction,
which sought to keep the sheriff
from further interference in the
matter. Kirke Montroe represents
the parties who brought up the ac-
John P. Stokes, appearing for the
sheriff, will also be in the case.
There is widespread interest in tho
probable outcome Of this hearing,
and great many citizens of note ara
expected to attend. Some consider
able inquiry has been made relative
to the time and place for the hearing,
and it was stated last evening that
quite a representative gathering from
the city churches will be on hand.
The proceeding is expected to be-
argued in the Court of Record build
ing, and because of the interest which
has been manifested, there will be
no hearing in chambers. Some of
those who wished to be present an
nounced last night raat, while they
are usually very busy at that hour,
they are going to put off their own
matters and attend the arguments.
There have been proven no sales
in the case, it is understood, but one
line of defense which those who
brought the proceedings will presens
is a large number of names of alleged
club members" this list containing
the names of scores of well-known
and prominent citizens. Whether or
not they will be interrogated respect
ing their connection with the alleged
service club is question which was
not publicly answered last evening.

NEW DRAFT PLAN Is
BEING WORKED OUT BY
The PROVOST MARSHAL

Washington, Oct. ia compre-
hensive new plan for applying the
military draft which at first would
take only men without dependents,
and of no particular value to war in
dustries, and establishing various
ing his dependents. kad industrial
value from which the future drafts
would be made strictly on selective
basis, has been worked out tentative
by by the Provost Marshal's office.
The plan was recently submitted to
civilians who directed the exemption
boards. 1t met with their approval.
No class of exemptions would re-
suit from the plan, but valuable men
would be placed so that they would
not be called until the need for SOL
diers becomes more urgent. 1t is
proposed to formulate in each local
draft district a table of registrants,
and placing each in a column denot-
ing his dependents. nd industrial
value in the wars prosecution. Men
with no dependents would be placed
in the first class, those with depen-
dent distant relatives second, those
with wives third, and with wife and
child fourth.
