WHITE AND COLORED
PETITION SIGNING ARGUED

Tallahassee, Dec. 6.-Argr1nents
were heard in the Supreme Court to-
day on two cases involving the con-
stitutionality of the act of the last
legislature providing that a. major
ity of both white and colored quail
fled voters sign a petition to the
county commissioners for a license to
sell liquor in any precinct of q wet
county, known at the white and black
petition law. The court took the mat
ter under advisement.
j. Turner Butler Of Jacksonville,
appeared against the law, while
Senator Doyle E. Curlton, Of Tampa,
made the argument for the validity
of the act. One case came from Palm
Beach, where Judge Donnell decided
against the constitutionality Of the
law, and the other case was ap-
pealed from Tampa, where Judge
Robes decided that the act was
sound. This being mandamus pro-
ceeding, the attorney generals office
took no part in it. Circuit Judge
Jas. T. Wills, of Gainesville sat in
this case, Justice West, being dis
qualified because at attorney general
he rendered an opinion on the ques-
tion involved. Both cases were ar
gued Jointly.
Lower Court Sustained.
. In the case Of Riley Meeker, of
Jacksonville, whose wife secured
divorce from him in the lower court,
the Supreme Tribunal today, affirm
ed the divorce decree Meeker had ap-
pealed.

NEW PHASES OF
WHISKEY LAW
IS SUST AIMED
IN FAR-REACHING CONCLUSION
SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCES
DECISION ON AN APPEALED
CASE-ANOTHER APPEAL.
Especial to The JournaD

Tallahassee, Dec. 6.-Validity of
Chapter 1888, of 1917 Acts of Florida
| known as the liquor substitute law.
was sustained by the Supreme Court
today in the case from Dade County
of Joseph M. Fine against F. w.
Moran, sheriff, defendant in error.
Judge Branning in the circuit court
had passed sentence, and that judg-
ment was affirmed. Judge Ellis
Cured in by Justices Taylor, Whit
field and Circuit Judge James T.
Wills, of the Eighth Circuit, sitting
in this case instead of Judge West,
who was disqualified because of his
interest in the case when he was at
torney general. Chief Justice Jeffer-
son B. Browne wrote a dissenting
opinion.
Judge Chas.~,O. Andrews, assistant
attorney general, made a fight for
the conscitutionality OF the law, and
he is elated over the decision. rem
dered.
The law which was today declared
sound, prohibits the sale, serving or
otherwise dispensing of intoxicants,
limitations or substitutes for intox-
cants, whether containing alcohol or
not, being one Of the most drastic
pieces of anti-liquor legislation of the
last legislature.
Section one, of the bill, defined
liquors, ETC., being devoted entirely
to definitions and section three pro-
vided a penalty for the violation of
section one and section two makes
the serving of substitutes a nlisde-
meanor, but the act is held operative
under chapter 6222, law of 1911,
which provides a penalty for INSIDE ]
meanors when the penalty is not
otherwise provided for. 1t was on
this. point the attorney generals
office won the case.
The law prohibits all near beers,
"Bevo," ETC., and there are large
stocks of these substitutes in dry
counties of Florida now, which will
have to be. Immediately disposed of,
and no longer sold.
Argument in this case was most
spirited, lawyers attacking the statue
claiming that the legislature might
as well prohibit the sale of pot licker
in dry territory.

STEEL DISTRIBUTION

Dividend Earnings for

NEW YORK. Jan l9.-As the time for

reyisions with respect 10 estimates OF the
net earnings 70 be shown, although with
regard 10 the dividend the belief seems to
he more firmly established that the board
will make a good distribution 10 the COM
mon shareholders.
Probably there is more unanimity as TO
the common distribution than TO amy other
event that the last Tuesday Of this month
viii bring forth. Virtually every one in-
terested in the corporations affairs is look
ing for no change In the regular common
dividend rate but an increased extra dis
bursemeEt is expected, .ThiCh would give
the holders a return OF 4 y or per cent
for the quarter,
In other words, it Is the consensus OF
opinion that ~ per cent regular and
~ or "a per cent extra will be declared.
AS usual officials Of the corporation refuse
10 comment either on the proposed dividend
action or what the net earnings viii be,
So far as the earnings are concerned, II
is now estimated by those whose figures in
the past have been rather close 70 the
actual showing that a total Of between
$10O,000.000 and S105,00O 600 win be re-
ported for the final quarter OF 1915 While
reports have been published that the cor
poration might show as much as $4,000
200 earned. these interests make the point
that sight must not be lost Of the fact that
shipments in the last quarter were affected
BY the shortage Of freight cars and the
railroad embargoes which win be reflected

The early advance of about /" to II
points from last nights closing figures was
followed by rather sharp reactions during
the middle Of the morning, For some reason
or other a reported action Of the Liverpool
Cotton Exchange asking members TO limit
their business to people actually in the cot

GAMBLING LEADS MAN
TO THEFT AND JAIL
Collingswood Resident, Member
of Good Family, Sentenced 4
in Camden

His desire 10 gamble was responsible for
the downfall Of John w. De Tough, of Col!
lIngswood, n. j. who was sentenced to y
term Of from eighteen months to three yeat5
in the New Jersey state Prison this after
noon by Judge Boyle in the Camden Criml-
nal Court. De Tough was accused of ems

ment store. Fl,
DE Tough, it Is said. Is highly educated
His father was connected with the English
consular service at ConstanunopIe. Some
time ago, according to the police, De Tough;
who was employed as a collector by Hurley
was $500 short in his accounts, This was
overlooked by Hurley. 1t is said and beliey-
ing that De Tough required more money to-
live on, increased his salary.
The action of his employer It Is said, had
little effect on De Tough, who, according TO
Hurley, continued his peculatlons.
De Ioughs arrest came as a surprise TO
his friends and relatives, as he had been
held in high esteem and was active in reH-
gious circles 30
The prisoner pleaded guilty and admitted.
II is said, that his fondness OF gambling
on horse races led him TO take the money
Although $1,000 Of the stolen money was
refunded by he lough's friends, this car
ried no weight with Judge Boyle.
De loughs arrest led 10 the capture OF
four hookmakers in Gloucester. They will
be tried next month.
