Each count in an indictment is regard
ed as if it were a separate indictment.
with that as a precedent, the court
ended the last hope of John Borum,
John Logan and Milton Guy to escape
execution for killing Lamar w. York,

each not guilty of firing the shot which
struck York and that their conviction
or the count charging they collectively
murdered the officer could not stand.
Justice Holmes had written his opin-
ion on January IL in upholding the SEN
tance of James Dunn of Eureka, Calf.
Dunn contended that since he had been
acquitted on the charges Of selling and
possessing liquor, he" could not be con-
victed for maintaining a common nui-
sance by keeping liquor for sale.
Justice Holmes resigned the day after
he read the Dunn opinion.
The court also cited previous cases

DRY LEAGUE STILL
REFERENDUM FOE
Mcbride Corrects impression
That Old Stand Has Been
Abandoned.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Anti-Saloon League stand against
referenda on repeal of the prohibition
amendment was reasserted last night.
F. Scott Mcbride, general superin-
tendent, issued a statement denying
the impression in some quarters" that
the league had abandoned its oppoS1-
ton to referenda, or that its new presl
don't, Bishop E. G.. Richardson of Phila-
delphia, favored such procedure.
Remarks of Senator Bingham, Re
publican, Connecticut, in support OF
his defeated resolution calling for ref
erenda III the various States, said Nc
Bride, was responsible for the miScon-
ception. He quoted the policy declara-
ton of the league and recent state
ment by Bishop Richardson to show
that both opposed any popular action
on prohibition changes except that
taken through the election of members
of Congress and State Legislatures,
His statement follows, in part:
Senator Bingham's remarks in sup
port of his defeated resolution calling
for referenda on prohibition in the va
rious States apparently created the i'm
preston in some quarters that the
Anti-Saloon League has changed its
position of opposition to such procedure,
The fact is that neither the Anti
Saloon League nor its recently elected
president, Bishop E. G. Richardson of
Philadelphia. has given any express
sions favorable to prohibition referenda.
ANY question of the repeal or the
modification of the eighteenth amend
ment should originate in exactly the
same way as did the adoption of the
amendment. It should originate with
the people, who. voicing their wishes
to their representatives in Congress and
the State Legislatures, elected to rep
resent their views, can retain, amend
or repeal any part Of the Constitution.
"The Anti-Saloon League OF America
has never hesitated and does not hesi-
tate today to leave these questions in
the hands of the people, to be settled
by them in the constitutional way by
an expression of their views in the cleo
ton of members of Congress and of
State Legislatures.
This method provides for the only
referendum to obtain the view Of the
people which is knows to the Con-
Stitution, and this kind of referendum
can be held every two years. The Anti
Saloon League of America will oppose
any effort to short circuit the regular
constitutional process for changing the
prohibition statutory law or for amend
ing the Constitution Of the United
States. Furthermore. the league op-
poses all sham proposals of the oppon-
ents of prohibition"

tension of Prevention Work
Object of Campaign.

Spurred by reports Of an increased
death rate from tuberculosis in the Dis
trict last year, directors of the Wash

day launched an aggressive campaign
for 1892, with two primary objects in
view-creation of additional hospital

here from tuberculosis during 1881 rep
resents a substantial advance over the
previous year.

the efforts of the association to locate
and deal with new sources of tubercu-
losis and to protect the community
further by enlisting industrial concerns
commercial organizations and Govern
ment officials in some more effective
means. of safeguarding their employees
from unfavorable conditions.
This extension program contemplates
the establishment of clinics for dag
nosis and prevention work among spe-
cial groups of industrial and CONNER
cial workers.
Dolph Heads Committee.

RENO'S BUBBLE
i BURSTS WITH
! LOUD BOOM

SAN FRANCISCO, July s
iINSJ.-The Reno boom has
gone boom-boom. The city Of the
plateau Of the Sierras, which
became a fizzy. whizzy purlieu 1S
months or so ago when wide open
gambling and easier divorces
were in vogue, has relapsed into
something akin to lassitude.
Rip Shorter for While
It was a rip snorting, pyro-
technical, high pressure spot
through spring, summer and into
the autumn of last year. Then
came the beginning Of the trans
formation.
Last spring many Of the spots
that were places of revelry and
high jinks a year before had
closed their doors. Others hung
on grimly anticipating that
patronage would return. There
was the wild hope that the Baer-
Levinsky brawl July 4 would
bring a vast army-with money.
But the holiday influx was
small and those who came to
gamble used five-cent chips on
the wheel and two-blt pieces in
the dice game.
Hotels Lack Guests
Hotel keepers and rooming
house proprietors who took full
advantage of the golden oppor.
tunity of a year ago to ask
double.top prices for lodging, now
are angling for guests-without
luck. The exodus continues, and
thousands who sought Reno for
habitation because Of jobs in
hotels, restaurants, gambling
places, ETC., long since have gone.
Divorce seekers are few and be-
coming fewer and those who are
parked there are neither frivolous
nor gay, perhaps because they
are minus funds for purposes
other than to live modeStly and
pay the legal fees.
