u. S. COURT SUSTAINS
DRY LAW ABATEMENT
Holds Tribunal Has Right to
Enjoin Nuisance.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD
TRENTON. Oct. 10.--The constitutional
!ty Of the abatement proceedings author
lied by the national prohibition act was
upheld to-day by Judge Bodine in an
opinion filed in Federal court dismiss
ing a motion to strike out the bill Of
complaint filed against Charles and Marie
Reinking, owners Of the Grand Hotel.
Hoboken The decision affects about
thirty abatement cases pending In this
Jurisdiction.
Judge Bodines opinion follows closely
the reasoning of Justice Harlan in a SINH
lar case Kansas. The essential point
decided is that though court of equity
may not enjoin the commission of a
crime II may use its injunctive powers
to prevent common nuisance. the main
tenance OF which also may constitute a
crime. In such circumstances the court
holds the punishment Is not for the
crime Itself. but for disregard OF the
courts decree.

ship was carrying a large number OF
British or other Errpean passengers the
percentage of drinkers might be larger.
Mr.. Draper thought the best line for
the Administration to adopt would be
to permit foreign liners to seal their
cellars and give bond. because no matter
what the law might say, technically a
British liner flying a British flag, is
British territory and while in American
territorial waters should be regarded as
British.
The Prohibition law. he said. permitted
liquor to cross from one border to the
other In bond. hence he thought the
Supreme Court would decide that British
liners would not transgress II they car

SELMA COTTON MILL
 RUN BY ELECTRICITY

Selma. August s.-(speeial.) )-Elec- tricity has supplanted steam in va rious parts of the Selma Manufac- turing company since the explosion which wrecked one of the steam en- zines and caused several hundred cotton mill workers to be turned off, That part of the cotton mill now in operation is getting power entirely from electrical current.
 About one-half of the plant is In operation, employing approximately 200 persons, who are turning out heavy cloth. When the accident oc- cured a great part of the plant was operating by steam power, with Q small section using electrical current. Orders had to be filled. so the heads of the company decided to increase the electrical power to carry on the work, and keep up the production as far as possible.
 J. F. Ames, owner of the plant, whose home is in Cleveland, O., will make visit here in about two weeks, according to w. R. Beard, manager and head of the bag depart ment It is believed with the com ing of MT. Ames, efforts will be made to increase the facilities of the plant, and 1t is possible that more electrical current will be used.

Mrs. Wilkins was third on a ticket of six, three of whom were elected. The other two sue cessful candidates were William Rountree, Jr., and J. E. Young.
 Mrs. Wilkins race for the legis- lature was a most unusual one. It was through the suggestion of friends that she s,arted in the race. and most of her campaign was put on by her friends.

 And dId you ever notice, pr. George how much farther away and how much slower time passes when one you love goes away?
 "I had always considered that Harry's home, which was in the mid dle west. was only about 36 hours from mine, but now 1t seemed to be thousands of miles away and time was simply stopping still.
 My work was my salvation. One can't be absolutely mtserao le when one Is working so hard that there Is no time to think of self.
 From morning until night I kept at my daily toll until was so tired that I would sink into heavy sleep without effort.
 And so the days dragged on. Near the end of the third week, as I arrived home one evening, heard my telephone bell ringing. Picking up the receiver I recognized the
