RULING ON STATE LIQUOR LAW.
Illegal to Transport From Place to
Place With Few Exceptions.


Little Rock. Nov. 11.--An import
ant decision was rendered in the SUI
preme court yesterday defining the
transportation Of liquor as contem-
plated by the acts of 1917 and 1918.
1t was in White county case, being
the case Of man arrested at Beebe
on charge Of transporting contra
band liquor in suit cases which he had
placed in the locker of a caboose Oh
the Iron Mountain road.
The appellant was passenger on
the caboose, but fed as soon as the
sheriff boarded the caboose at Beebe,
for the purpose of making search.
He ran thru the woods followed by the
deputy sheriff and came back to the
train at a point between stations.
When arrested he surreptitiously
took the key which fitted the lock on
one Of the suitcases, out Of his pocket
and dropped it on the ground, where
the officer picked it up. The cases
were opened and found filled with bot
ties of liquor
The court holds that Under the
law as it now stands, it is unlawful to
transport Intoxicating liquors into the
state, or from one place to another IN
the state, for any purpose whatever.

mol for medicinal, industrial and SCI

before a meeting OF the fair price

An Oversight.

Thru an oversight the name of DR.
W. E. Flick was omitted in the an
|nouncement Of the 'Possum Club ban
quet. AS the doctor is not only q
|charter member, but one of the most
devoted workers in the cause, this
oversight was quite serious matter,
tho, as matter of fact, DIR. Flick has
thus far entered no protest.

WAS YEAR OF WAR
DESPITE ARM|STICE
More Than 2 Million Men Still Are
Fighting in Europe. While Turks,
Egyptians and Afghans Add
to the Turmoil.

Washington, Nov. 10.-A year ago
the world celebrated the event that
was to turn the swords into plow-
shares. Today more than 2 million
men still are fighting in Europe alone,
as many more are bearing arms and
ready for trouble, and there is no inn
mediate prospect that the wars and
rumors Of war will cease.
The fighting in Russia involves
eighteen separate and distin.t armies
on the anti-Bolshevist side, represent
ing nearly as many different peoples
D'Annunzio's private war in Fiume
threatens to become public. The dep
relations Of the Turk continue in
Afghanistan and in Egypt there is
trouble, India is restive.
Beginning on the Murman coast, in
what is called the "Archangel situa-
tion,' the American general staff
map of Russian disorders show an al
most unbroken fighting front sur
rounding the Bolshevist armies and
extending east to Vladivostok, where
American troops are stationed.
An 'sunofficial" German War.
Accurate figures are not available,
but it is believed that at least 100000
men are engaged in the war between
the Let's and the "Iron Division car
rying an unofficial German war in
to Russia.
A Finnish army, not supported by
its government, is moving south to-
ward Petrograd.
If the highest estimate were accept
ed, there might seem to be nearer 3
million than million men engaged in
the Russian warfare There are weap-
ons enough for 3 million, exclusive
of material provided by the allies in
the last year.
Soon there are to be troop move
ments to Upper Silesia for the pIebis-
cite, and to Danzig and to the AIiin-
stein area of East Prussia for the
same reason,
Belgian, British, French and Amer
lean armies Of occupation are still me-
cessary in Germany. Allied occupa-
tion of Dalmatia, with American nav
al forces participating, continues.
Czecho-S -Slovakia spends most of its
time and money maintaining guard
around the borders of its new state.
Italy Verges on upheaval.
Diplomatic and military means are
being considered for dislodging dan
nunzio from Fiume, with possibility of
upheavals in Italy in the background.
Poland is dissatisfied with the Peace
treaty. The revolutionary threat in
Germany is so serious that the Dutch
border guard has been strengthened.
Talaat Bey, former grand vizer of
Turkey. is plotting in Switzerland.
Rumania is brooding over am uiti-
matum demanding the removal of her
troops from Hungary
So the war maps are still on the
walls at general staff headquarters,
and the yards of colored yard, repre-
senting hundreds of miles of battle
front and death and pillage, are be-
ing moved backward and forward.
And Armistice Day is now a holiday
in most Of the war departments Of the
world.

GOVERNORS PARDON FOR TWO
Governor Finds E. A. Knowlton Was
Driven by Dire Need to Sell Liquor.

Special TO The Star
Little Rock, Nov. 11.--Governor
Brough has pardoned John Felts, a
white man of Cross county, who was
convicted in September, 1917, on q
charge of second degree murder The
prosecuting attorney exprest the opin-
ion that Felts was not the guilty par
ty, but that he was merely victim
of circumstances. The case was pre-
scented to the Governor by Mrs. Felts.
A pardon was also granted to E. A.,
Knowlton, who was convicted at the
recent term Of the Pope county cir
cult court for violation of the prohi-
bition laws Of the state. The facts
as represented to the governor strong
" indicate that sheer desperation had
driven the man to commit the crime
in an effort to provide for his old and
crippled father, his mother and his
wife. Several officials including the
prosecuting attorney. also minister
well acquainted with the circumstan-
|ces, recommended the pardon.

| The executive council of the Amer

this afternoon and it was said at fed
GRAFTON headquarters that no state
ment on the strike settlement would
be forthcoming in advance Of the
meeting.
Calls for Investigation.
Investigation of the strike was pro-
posed in a resolution introduced by
Senator Jones, Republican, Washing
ton, after press reports Of the miners
decision to recall the strike order had
been read at the request Of Senator
Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio. Tho res
oIution was referred to the senate La
Dor committee, which recently com
pleted an investigation Of the steel
strike, and which will determine
whether coal inquiry is advisable.
The resolution would give the com
mittee authority to suggest any meas
ures for federal action to prevent re-
currence of similar strikes Senator
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, said the
resolution also should be broad enough
to authorize investigation Of Judge
Anderson's injunction order.
