Columbia, Sept. 7.?The new liquor

pre-existing prohibition laws, having
to do with possession and transportation
of alcoholic liquors, according to
an opinion handed down Friday in the

Spencer, appellant. The high court,
in an opinion by I) Gordon Maker, associate
justice, reversed a conviction
of Spencer on liquor law charges in
tilt? tlhurukuu fiotirl
the ease remanded with directions to
the lower court to vacate the judgment
and sentence of Spencer and the
dismissal of the indictment.
Court officials estimated that the
ruling involved the dropping of old
charges in possibly as many as 400
eases over the state, and said that
solicitors would' be particularly interested
in it. About 400 pending prose?utions
for possession or transportation
under the repealed dry law would
be dropped.
Spencer was convicted in the Cherokee
court of possessing and transporting
liquor in violation of the law

LOUISIANA SENATOR
VICTIM OF BULLET
(Continued From rage One)
pounding liln share the wealth program.
On Ijls death hed, he praised u seeond
hook he was preparing to issue,
; "My Flint Year in the White House,"
and talked deliriously of it as a host
neller.
Long never realized hiH umhition
to make of Baton Houge a little Dlstriet
of Columbia in which to rule
IUh empire. He took a docile leglslalure
and used it to put laws Into effect
to make Ixiuislana a "Utopia."
Having debts Huwpended in 1932 for
two yeurH, he began a wild law making
Hpreo thut Haw seven aepcial scshIoiih
of the legislature in a year and
gave him powers never before dreamed
of In a Democratic state.
That legiHlativo campaign, from Aumint,
1934, .to September, 1935, was
marked by a ruftilessnesH that built
up hut red among hl? foes. It possibly
was such an accumulated venom
that drove 30-year-old Dr. Weiss to
give up bis own life to lire the one
bullet into Long's body.
Long married Miss ltose McConnell
of Memphis, Tenn., when ho was 19
after she had won his heart by haking
pies and winning a prize with a
vegetable compound he was selling in
a cooking contest, which he promoted.
Sorrowing $100 from u mother he
lived with his wife in a dingy New
Orleans apartment while he completed
a three-year law course at Tulane
University In nine months.
After graduation, the young lawyer
hung out his shingle in his home town
Of Winnlield but soon was lured to
politics. At 24 he ran for railroad
commissioner. He was elected and
gained state-wide notice by securing
substantial telephone rate rebates.
Long bucked the old line politicians
and they laughed al him when lie
sought the governor's office in 1924.
He lost then but won so many votes
that the v?-t* r:tti- began to lake him j
seriously.
In 192s. at the next election, he was i
successful hut liis methods, as governor.
from the start, aroused such
protest the house voted to impeach ,
him the following year.
Long escaped conviction in the senate
and removal from office when
majority group of senators refused to
hear the charges on the ground that !
the session was illegal.
Proposing a $73,000,000 concrete j
road building program. Long used aj
successful campaign to defeat Joseph i
L. Kausdell for the United States senate
as authority from the people for
expenditure of the money.
This was followed by a period in
which Long kept his office as governor
until February, 1931, to prevent
the elevation of bin enemy. Lieutenant
Governor Paul N. Cyr, to the post,
finally shutting Cyr from office and
placing one of his own followers in
as governor.
The senator warmly supported
Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign for
the presidency in 1932 and was credited
with aiding in securing the nomination
for Roosevelt at the party convention.
Ixjng supported O. K. Allen for governor
and contrglled the state through
his ability to dictate to Allen. By this
time Long easily was able to cairy
the country vote but had not been
able to break the power of the "old
regular" Democratic ring in New Orleans.
lu September, 1934, he conducted a
legislative investigation before the
primary exposing "graft and eorrupgovcruinent
and beat the candidates
of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley.
The pre-election days in New Or-j
leans were marked by military display
with Long in command of the
militia and Walmsley commanding the
police
The opposing "armies" faced each {
other for da>s across a narrow street.!
Police occupied city hall and the tui- j
litia the registration office opposite.]
Through a series of special legislative
acts. Long crippled the finances i
of New Orleans and took away pow-1
ers from Walmsley so that a few .
months ago Walmsley's leaders surrendered
to Long and left Walmsley j
a mayor almost without a city.
In his drive, for power. Long had the
legislature make him commander of i
the plain clothes state army and give j
him authority to use the militia for J
any purpose, name the vote counters j
at elections and a host of other powers.
So fierce became the opposition to
lx>ng in January this year that citizens
rose in armed rebellion at Baton
Rouge but were captured or routed
with one casualty, a civilian, in an
engagement at the parish airport.
Then followed Long's "murder plot"
in which he charged a number of of- j
ficials with conspiring to assassinate'
him. Martial law was proclaimed and I
soldiers, manning machine guns, sur- j
rounded the state house.
During the first year Ix>ng definite-1
ly launched on a national campaign. !
He broke with President Roosevelt i
and defied the entire senate.
Becoming a bitter critic of the New
Deal, he enacted laws in Louisiana
glYtng the state control of the ex%
^
penditure of work relief money.
In the session in progress when he
was shot down was a law for imprisonment
of federal officials conducting
'unconstitutional" activities in I>ouisiana.
On a recent visit to New York Long
definitely announced he would be a
presidential candidate if the Demoijnis
fviwrriinaied Roosevelt and the
Republicans named Herbert Hoover.
He was considered by observers as
a threat to the Democratic party because
of the possibility he might carry
some southern states if he ran on
a third party ticket.
Rabbi Schillman
Talks (0n Mexico
A moat interesting talk waa made
before the Cumd.cn Ilotary Club on !
Thursday by Rabbi 8am KehHRjian, of'
Humter, who spoke on Mexico. He'
made a trip to Mexico aometime ago'
and the reault of hla travela and study j
of tlie country waa woven into a tine
talk on that country, which la no of-!
ten misunderstood by tlie world, und !
eapecially by ita cloaeat neighbor, the !
United States. Rabbi Schillman j
touched on the early history of the \
country, when the Aztecs and other J
tribea of Indiana lived there, and i
a poke of the great ruina in lower J
Mexico, aomo of which are three
thousand yeura old, allowing that the '
Indiana at that time were possessed
of a high type of ciflllzation. He j
traced the history on down to the conquest
of Mexico by Cortez, who robbed I
I the country and made slaves of the i
Indians, setting back the old civiliza-1
lion, which tlie country had enjoyed
for over two thousand years. He told !
of some of the world's finest cathe- i
drals which were erected there be-!
tween 1550 and 1600, und said that'
none wore so fine in this country unices
it was the cathedral of St. John,
the Divipe, in New York. Ho told of 1
the disturbed conditions of the coun-!
try, since 1850, which were followed <
by many bloody revolutions and the j
overthrow of various governments. j
Rabbi Schillman sees a fine future
for Mexico, not only as to a stabilized
government and people, but a cultural
and wealthy nation. He says!
that no country is possessed with
such natural wealth as is found in
Mexico, und that tlie potential possibilities
of u groat country and people
cannot be denied.
I lie program was in charge of
Thomas Ancrum. Lee Little will have
charge of the program two weeks

Brother Broke With Huey
Julius T. Long, Shreveport attorney
and elder brother of Huey, who had
opposed Long's political maneuvers
during four years of campaigning, de-'
clared that "as a true kinsman" he
only hoped his brother would recover.
"I supported Huey in all of his political
ambitions until 1931," said Julius,
"when I became convinced that
Ms policies were a danger to his State
and nation. Since then, four years
ago, I have opposed him politically
and I am still convinced that his policies
are wrong."
