JACKSON If

LICENSE WAR NOW SHIFTED Board of County Commissioners, for Lack of Jurisdiction, Sustain Motion to Dismiss the Case. (Continued from Page One) remonstrators were seeking a way to ahift the burden of proof. Forseeing the court's ruling he sarcastically called Its attention to its haste to complete the case. The "wets" offered the application of Fraunberg for a license, but before they had gone far, the court sustained the motion of the "drys" to dismiss the action which was sustained. On Friday the decree was prepared and the liberals appealed the case to the circuit court. Offers a Solution. Attorney Kelley said today: "The remonstrance has served to drive out the abuses and illegal sale of liquor; but I believe its usefulness to a great extent has diminished because it appears now to invite bootlegging, blind tigers aid illegitimate sales of whisky. Temperance has not served to a great extent in this instance. Cambridge City should have a liquor license, in order to legalize what appears to be an illegitimate use of the traffic at this time. "The best that can be hoped for under the law, as it stands, is strict regulation of the traffic by strict enforcement of the law. This condition might be met to the satisfaction of all parties concerned by an arrangement between a committee of the conservatives and a committee of the liberal people selecting a reliable person to accept a license, upon the basis of Strict enforcement and compliance with the law."

EXPECT A BIG

RUSH

Merchants Ready for Last Stoppers. Employers and hundreds of clerks j in the city have completed their ar-1 ran semen ts for handling "eleventh hour" crowds, and are waiting anxiously now for the final rush of Chrisamas shopping, which opens tomorrow morning, and will, continue until the last persons has completed his round of gift purchasing. In an effort to handle the final rush as easily as possible. Richmond merchants are outlining just a few simple rules designed to help patrons in se curing what they want. The most important rule is to show early in the day. "It is too late to get the benefits of shopping early in the season," said a local merchant today, "but people will find that they can secure a better choice of gifts and better attention from the clerks if they do their purchasing in the morning or early afternoon." It is also pointed out by the Main street dealers that much time is wasted by the last minute shoppers because of their curiosity. Many persons enter a store and look over articles they have no idea of buying. It is recommended the shoppers on December twenty-third apply their regular business principles to purchasing, for the use of mental work will accelerate the task of buying and will also aid in getting the best presents. Roast Beef with Oyster Dressing at J. H. Sullivan's Saturday evening. 12 S. 5th St. 22-lt SATURDAY SEAL DAY Every One Should Buy One Sticker. "Ninety persons are doomed to die in Indiana during the next week, whose lives might have been saved except for the indifference of their neighbors." This was the startling statement issued yesterday by the officers of the Red Cross Christmas Seals Commission of Indiana at the headquarters in Indianapolis. "And by a very little effort .tomorrow, the people who live in Richmond can help save the lives of almost 5,000 more Hoosiers who will die of tuberculosis during the next twelve months," says the Red Cross bulletin. Tomorrow has been designated as Red Cross Christmas Seal day in Indiana and each man, woman and child is asked to purchase even one seal, with the knowledge that by 60 doing, the purchaser has had an actual part in saving one of the many lives that less money is provided for making a ... - . . 1 definite fight on the disease. It is hoped that through the purchase of one, five and ten cents worth of the seals by thousands of Indiana desidents tomorrow, the Red Cross fund will be greatly increased and a greater line of preventing and treating tuberculosis. It is not the thought that large purchases shall be made but that in a volume of small sales, the total in the state may be great. Even those who have already purchased are asked to buy five or ten more seals, and those who have not bought heretofore are urged to take a stand against the dread white plague by buying a few seals. All persons interested in selling the seals are appealed to by the state managers, to make a final effort to reach every person in their communities who have not yet contributed to the Red Cross fight. ELK'S CONVENTION DATES ARE CHANGED PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 22. Through the efforts of John P. Sullivan, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, conflicts in the dates of the important conventions of 1912 have been avoided. As soon as it was decided that the Elks would hold their annual reunion in Portland during the week of July 8. Mr. Sullivan conferred with officials of the Grand Army and the Shriners with the results that the conventions of those organizations will be held in Los Angeles in September snd May respectively. By urging the subject on members of the Republican National committee he succeeded in having the date for the Republican convention in Chicago set for the week of June IS. He has started similar negotiations with the Democratic Nataional committee and it is probable that another week than that chosen by th3 Elks will be selected for the Democratic convention. LODGE ELECTION Election of officers and reports on the work done during the past year featured the annual meeting last evening of St. Joseph's Branch of Catholic Knights of America. Officials of the organization announced that it was "coming to the front," and was holding a conspicuous place among the lodges of the city.

A WOMAN PROTESTS ON POSTAL RATES Why should it cost more to send a certain hi4Klr thr-nno-h tYm mail than UUVIUCI UUUR UJ LIl same author? This morning a woman entered the Richmond post office, and going up to the stamp clerk, asked her to tell the cost of mailing a "best seller" to a friend. "Eight cents," responded the postal employe. Upon hearing this, the woman uttered a loud complaint, finally appealing to Postmaster Haas to find out why mailing cost so much. "The idea," said the woman when assured by the postmaster that eight cents was right, I sent a book by the same author for six cents last year." LARGE AUDIENCES ATTENDED ARCADE Crowds of citizens, interested in the fight being made to rid Wayne county of the white plague, gathered at the Arcade moving picture theater early this afternoon, to witness the opening display in this city of the film entitled, "The Awakening of John Bond," showing in an agreeable way methods for preventing and curing tuberculosis, and also pointing out the indifference of some wealthy men toward any efforts to blot out consumption. Officers of the Wayne county anti-tuberculosis society are pleased with the interest taken in the film, and hope to realize a big sum from the 35 per cent of the gross box office receipts that is to be given them. Larger audiences even than attended this afternoon are expected at the theater this evening and tomorrow. The county society is centering all its efforts on the work tomorrow, Red Cross seal day. With many churches, clubs and prominent individuals working for them, they hope to sell 10,000 seals that day. One Cell Animals.

RALPH DEPALMA IS TO BE CONTESTANT Crack Driver Has Entered 500 Mile Race at Speedway Next Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Dec. 22. Ralph DePalma will be seen in action on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway course next Memorial Day when the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race will be run, the dirt track champion having entered a j Mercedes car. The car DePalma will j drive is a big ninety-horsepower mo-, tor, the same which carried him to ! second place in the Vanderbilt Cup j race and third in the Grand Prize race i at Savannah during last Thanksgiving j week. The motor has a 5.1 inch bore and 7.1 inch piston stroke, making a j piston displacement of 583 cubic inch-1 es, close to the limit allowed for eli- j gibility to the Indianapolis speed classic. j The Mercedes is a privately owned j racer, being the property of E. J. Schroeder of New York, the man who has the largest interest in the Dixie motor boats, which have the international aquatic speed records to date. This makes the fourth entry that has been received by the local Speedway management, although but three drivers have been positively named for the big motor battle. Two Stutz cars were the first to enter the race, Gil Anderson being named to drive one, and last week it was announced that Joe Matson in a Fiat would compete with the world's greatest drivers on the Indianapolis course next Memorial day. The quick decision of DePalma to place his car in the second Indianapo lis 500-mile race indicates that the dirt track champion is eager to strike at the world's speedway crown next May, not taking a chance on being overlooked in the subsequent rush of entries later. DePalma turned down several flattering offers to drive American and foreign cars in the Speedway races, but the road king finally decided to pilot the ninety-horsepower Mercedes. This car is one of the swiftest creations ever turned out by the famous German factory. In the 1910 Grand Prize race, DePalma was the lion of the hour, outstripping the famous foreign and American cracks and had the race practically won with a two-minute lead when on the next to the last lap his car broke down. This year, in the swiftest sort of company at Savannah, he raced into third place after a game fight with the giant Fiat racers, piloted by Bruce Brown and Eddie Hearne. DePalma began driving in 1908 and probably has had the most meteoric career of any of the famous drivers. He has won more than 100 races on various tracks all over the country and holds the mile-track records for all distances between three and fifty miles and numerous speedway records as well. In 1908, during his first racing year, he won ten firsts and three seconds out of sixteen starts. In 1909 out of forty-seven starts he won thirty-four firsts, eight seconds and one third, being unplaced but three times. In 1910 out of forty-seven starts he won thirty firsts, seven seconds and eight thirds, being unplaced twice. In this year also he made records on the Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Atlanta Speedways in addition to breaking and rebreaking his own records and those of others on mile tracks.

The Gallery Gods' Applause. Lawrence Barrett once told of conversation he had with Edwin Booth. The latter had been congratulated upon an ovation given him by a crowded house on the opening night ot an engagement "Tho sweetest music to my ears." said the great tragedian, "is the shouting of the boys in the gallery. I know they are not applauding: because I have a reputation or because they wish to make a display. Tbey simply give rent to their natural enthusiasm. When they shout I know that I am giving a good performance. As tor tho parquet it may clap its hands out ot politeness. A dramatic critic wbo had certain notions as to bow a line should be read will applaud if I read It his way; otherwise be will remain quiet I can never analyze the applause ot the front rows, but the gallery Ulcere in its likes or dislikes."

And yet as Matthew Arnold says, he lived during his London residence "in a current of ideas in the highest degree animating and nourishing to the creative faculty in a society permeated by? fresh thought, intelligent and alive." And he used not only the ideas which he imbibed as they floated around him, but all the learning be could pick up without neglecting his calling. New Tork American.
