~Seaplanes Expected.

The three seaplanes accompanying the
flotilla flown by Ensigns Henry 7. Stan
ley, r. w. Arthur and William Grooch,
reached Cairo after the hop from st.
Louis late Tuesday and are expected
to reach Memphis late Wednesday or
early Thursday.
With the arrival of the flyers, the
Isabel and the other sub chasers there
will be two submarines. three chasers,
one revenue cutter and one destroyer
in Memphis harbor by the close of the
week. 1t is possible that all of the
boats may have to leave before Sunday.
But If the river stage will permit they
will remain much longer.
Officers of the flotilla express regret
that the muddy condition of the harbor
Will not permit easier access to the
boats. At the foot of Illinois mi
where 1t was first planned to moor the
boats, there is little way for the public
to go aboard from the steep bluffs over
looking the landing. In all probability
the entire ~flotilla will anchor in mid
stream and visits may be paid each craft
from the wharf.
Lieut. Commander Wells Hawks. who
Is directing the cruise of the flotilla,
Will reach Memphis Wednesday night
He Will confer with pilots and officers
regarding the duration of the stay of
the boats here.

the girls 800 pounds and the other
never falls below $50. This makes
1900 pounds daily, or S96 for the

cotton for at least sixty days, perhaps
more. That would mean S4,56O for

NOVEL QUESTION
NstxFskSa7s
BEFORE HIGH COURT
CAN AN INTOXICATED MAN BE
FOUND GUILTY OF HAVING
LIQUOR IN HIS POSSESSION?

The Georgia court of appeals this
afternoon certified to the supreme
court the most unique question yet
raised in connection with the bone
dry prohibition laws of Georgia, and
the supreme courts answer will be
awaited with keen personal interest
by everyone in Georgia that takes a
drink. The question is this: ''Is testi-
mony showing that a defendant was
intoxicated sufficient to authorize the
jury to find that he possessed liquor
in violation of law"
J. A. Graham, jr., was tried in APP
ping county superior court on
charge of having liquor in his posses
sion, which is against the Georgia
law. The state could not produce
any liquor in evidence, but did pro-
duce witnesses who testified that Ora
ham was intoxicated. The jury found
him guilty of having liquor in his pos
session. He was sentenced to pay
fine of S125 and serve twelve months
In his appeal of the case Graham S
attorneys, Padgett and Watson, con-
tend that a state of intoXication IS
not sufficient to warrant such con-
viction. The court of appeals is IN
doubt about the question itself and
wishes advice from the supreme
court. The arguments will be heard
by that court at an early date.
