AUTOS CRASH At
MAIN AND COLLINS

\ very serious accident was
narrowly avcrted early Monday
morning when the truck driven
by Mr.. Clyde Barnett, an en-
ploye Of the Richmond Welch Co.
collided with a Ford roadster
driven by Miss Nettie Kate Ev-
ans, on Main street, near T.. G..
Cornellson'S grocery. Miss Ev-
ans was thrown out on the run
ming board and escaped with only
a few slight bruises. Mrs. Bar
nett, who was in the car with
her husband, was thrown out and
had her book badly wrcnched and
bruised and is suffering from a
nervous shock. 1t is considered
by those who saw the accident
as almost miracle that the cars
were not overturned and serious
injuries resulted. Both cars were
slightly damaged.

none escaped the crash.
At this point the railroad cross

Many of the victims were de-

Cents on Gallon by Su-

(By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 2S-Thc SUI
prcmc Court today held invalid
the Kentucky law levying a spe-
cial tax on liquors withdrawn
from bonded warehouses. Several
millions in taxes already collected
by the state were involved.
The Court sustained the lower
courts which had granted an in
junction to the Kentucky Distil-
leries and Warehouse Company
and others preventing interfer-
ence by state authorities to with
drawals OF liquor on which the
special tax had not been paid.
Court held that the Kentucky law
under which the taxes were col
lected, violated both the state and
federal constitutions. The state
there is no competition in
the liquor business and the tax
therefore could not be confisca-
tory. The unanimous opinion of
