The attack which has just fallen short was aimed nt three points which were believed to bo vulnera ble In tho constitutional armor of tho Georgia prohibition law. Those points were: First, that tho prohibition bill contained a duality of subject mat ter, In violation of the state consti tution; second, that the legislature exceeded its authority In destroying u thing (the sale of liquors), whlcn the state's constitution speclflcally recognises as taxable and directs the legislature to assess; and, third, that tho Identical bill did not receive a constitutional majority In both houses of the legislature, and Is therefore unconstitutional. "It Is unnecessary to cite similar authorities from other states," says the opinion of Judgo Xewntan, In conclusion, "or from text books, be cause all are uniform, I think, and In entire harmony with the decisions of tho courts of tho United States and the supreme court of this state, which have boen referred to. Case Is Clenr. "Tho lino of demarkutton between cases In which a court of equity will nnd will not lntorfero may not al ways be entirely clear: cases have arisen and may arise which are dif ficult to place.' To my mind there It no difficulty .about this case. It It easily of that class of cases of which courts of equity have always declined to take jurisdiction, and It Is readily distinguished from cases llko Itcagan vs. Farmers' Loan nnd Trust Company (1B4 U. 8., 362); Smyth vs. Aimes (169 U. S„ 466); and In re Young (209 U. S„ 123), In which (he supremo court of the United Stales has held that a court of equity might properly assume jurisdiction and grant Injunction. Tho distinction-between the two classes of cases la pointed out In tho opinion of tho supreme court of the United States In ro Young, supra, and In tho opinion of the supremo court in tho Georgia Railway and GREAT BUSINESS DONE IHMERICUS CHRISTMAS TRADE' SURPASSED THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE MERCHANTS.

W* Dee. tl-WIth the paaslns today of an even month since the Norwegian steamer Btlckelstad left Glasgow, Scotland. November 24. for this port, the mariners interested In tho veasol gave up nearly all hope of •m again seeing her. It le generally believed that the steamer sank with all on board daring tho terrific gs I Electric Company va. the town of Oakland City, anpra. “at Is not shown by this bill that lit Is proposed by the defendants to takf- any of th. doff-ndiiht’H prop erty or to Interfere with It. It la claimed that criminal prosecutions will be instituted, and It is against this that relief is sought. It If, proposed to enjoin the summoning of witnesses, the preparation and' presentation to grand Juries of bills of indictment, and prosecution in the city court of Atlanta and In the recorder's court, and arrest under such prosecutions. Meaning of Suit. “Looking at the case In this way, what Is the result? It is sought to prevent C. D. Hill, as solicitor-gen eral of Attlanta, from preparing bills of indictment and presenting them to the grand Jury. This is clearly not within the Jurisdiction of the court of equity. It is sought to prevent Lowry Arnold, solicitor of the city court of Atlanta, from Instituting prosecutions In that court. This Is also without the power of a court of equity. It «* sought to enjoin Arnold Broyles, clerk of the superior court of Ful ton county, and also derk of the city court tof Atlanta, presumably from what is stated In the bill, from Issuing subpoenas to witnesses, bench warrants, etc. It Is sought to enjoin John W. Nelms, sheriff of Fulton county, and Henry Jen nings, chief of police In the city of Atlanta, apparently, though this is not insisted upon in the argument, from trying offenders against the ordinances of tae city of Atlanta, or sitting as Investigating magistrate and hearing evidence as to the vio lation of the city prohibition law. Interferes With Criminal Prosecutions. “Tho mere statement of the prayer of the bill and what is sought to be dono, makes It so clearly an effort solely to Interfere with criminal pros ecutions, contrary to the old establish ed rule on that subject In England and tho courts of this Country, both feder al and state, that It seems unnecessary to discuss It further. “Tho foregoing views aro controlling but I think It proper to add that the subject matter of this case Is pecu liarly for the courts of the state. It concerns tho internal policy of the state. Tho legislation was in pursu ance of what was believed to bo the proper exercise of the police power of tho state. The grounds of the attack upon this prohibition act mainly stress, ed in argument aro that it was viola tive of tne constitution of the state of Georgia, and the grounds specially and strongly urged are that the title of the bill stated two subjects matter, and that the journal of the senate fails to show that It was passed by the re quisite constitutional vote of time body The most important of these two ques tions is the falluro of the Journal to show tho passage of the bill by a con stitutional majority when It camo back from the house to the senate, and. as determining this, what Is the final passage of a bill In tho Georgia leg islature. This Is essentially a matter for the courts of the state and ulti mately for the supreme court of tho state. Constitutional Rights. “It Is alleged In tho bill that in cer tain respects this net Is violative or the complainants’ rights under the constitution of the United States. But this was hardly referred to In tho ar gument; certainly It was not strongly stressed. “Whatever may be true about this, however, any of the grounds suggested ns Justifying relief—either under the constitution of the United States or of the state of Georgia—can readily be Interposed as defense to nny pros ecutions under this act; and so far as federal questions aro Insisted upon, they can reach and be heard by the supreme court of. the United States by writ of error from that court to tho highest court of the state. “Entertaining tho views herelnbe- foro expressed, It results that in my opinion tho circuit court of the United States, sitting as a court of equity, has no authority to entertain this bl'.l or to grant tho relief sought. It is un necessary, therefore, and would per haps bo Improper for me to express any opinion as to tho merits of tho questions raised In this bill. This may well be left for determination when such questions shall be raised In the proper way before a court of compe tent Jurisdiction. “Tho demurrer to the bill will be sustained, nnd a decree may be taken to that effect. “This the 23d day of December. 1303.
