Caraway Would
Protect The Ginnera

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 5-An
amendment by Congressman Cara
way to the bill to enforce the cot
ton standards act was adopted by
the house yesterday. 1t will eX-
ompt owners and operators of gins
from criminal prosecution in cases
where cotton Of different grades is
packed in the same bale. Mr.. Cara
way argued that the average gin
operator is not. an expert grader
and that under the provision Of
the bill, as introduced, they would
be liable to criminal prosecution,
and upon conviction, to imprison-
mont for one year when fraud was
practiced by the customers without
their knowledge or consent. Mr..
Caraway explained the operation of
gins and the difficulty that would
be experienced by operators in try
ing to prevent mixing of grades.
The bill as amended places the
on the owner of the cotton
who sells or attempts to sell cotton
of mixed grades without revealing
the fact.

NOT TO ENFORCE
new STOCK LAW
Chancellor Frierson Grants
Restraining Order Against
County Clerk.

The new stock law voted by the
electors in Clark, Spring Grove, St.
Francis, Union and Friendship town
ships at the general election held
on November 7, last, will not be
put in effect. Chancellor Chas. d.
Frierson has granted a permanent
restraining order forbidding the
county clerk publishing officially
the result of the election and fixing
q day for the enforcement OF the
law The injunction was granted
upon petition of w. T. Gooch and
others who alleged the question had
been improperly submitted to the
voters in that it appeared upon the
ballot For Stock Law and
against Stock Law" Act No. 1876
of the acts of the general assembly
of 1915, which provides that upon
petition of twenty-five per cent OF
the qualified electors OF two or
more adjoining townships the coun-
tv Judge shall order an election on
the question of whether or not
horses, mules, cattle, asses, sheep,
goats and hogs or any two of these
classes of animals shall be restrain
ed from running at large. The act
says the form of ballot shall be
"For restraining the runnig at large
of horses, mules, asses, cattle, sheep,
goats and hogs" and Against re-
straining the running at large, etc. y
On the official ballots voted here
the question was submitted under
the captions For Stock Law and
against Stock Law" In view OF
the fact that this is not a compli-
ance with the statutory form for
submitting the question the court
held the matter had been illegally
submitted, hence the vote by which
the electors adopted htc laws void

SENATE VOTES FOR
DRY WASHINGTON
Measure Would Become Effective
Nov. /, 1917, and Would Prohibit
Sale of Liquor in Capital.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Thc Shep-
pard bill to abolish saloons in the
national capital after Nov. /, 1917,
was passed late yesterday by the
senate and now goes to the house,
where it's friends say it is sure to
pass. The vote in the senate was
SIS to 80.
Senators Kirby and Robinson of
Arkansas supported the bill.
CARRIERS MUST KEEP RECORD.
All common carriers bringing
liquor into the district are required
to keep a record of the shipper and
constance, who must make affidavit
that they are for personal use. The
law says that no property rights
shall exist in alcoholic liquors lille
gally manufactured or brought into
the district, makes every place that
violates the law a common nui-
sance" and gives the right to any
citizen to sue to enjoin such
nuisance.
Heavy penalties are provided for
violations including provision
aimed at physicians who prescribe
liquor for patients without cause.
A right to sue for damages from
the person who sells liquor to a
person who is injured lin person or
property" in consequence of intoXi-
cation is given to blood relatives.
Efforts to forbid absolutely mani
ufacturo in the district and export
from it were beaten without Il rec
ord vote. An amendment by Sena-
tor Phelan which would permit sale
of wine, ale. beer and porter" also
was defeated.
The crowd was particularly
pleased with an amendment pro
posed by Senator MARITIME to forbid
the use or manufacture of tobacco
in any form in the district. There
were loud laughs when it was read
by the clerk, and once again when
after Senator Reed had made a
technical point against it, Senator
MARITIME remarked; 81 know you're
against it; you chew tobacco"
The crowd in the galleries made
only one real demonstration, that
of hearty approval when the final
vote was announced Twice during
the debate the noise became SO
great that President Protempore
Salisbury threatened to clear the
galleries.
While the Sheppard bill was un-
der consideration in the senate leg
i8lation to prohibit liquor traffic
| in Hawaii was urged before the
house territories committee by rep
rcscntative3 of the Anti-Saloon
League of America and the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union. The
committee today will hear witnesses
in favor of a drastic liquor pro
hibition law in Alaska.
