Washington, Dec. 24. In decid ing the case of Oatewood against the Siate of North Carolina, in which (Jatewood was prosecuted for keep ing a bucket-shop in Durham, the supreme court of the f'uited States todav in"offect held the state law prohibiting the dealing In futures to of state and . .1... i tive council oe mil repuguuiii iu nit; icucii stitution. Justice White delivered the opinion of the court affirming the decision of the supreme court of North Carolina. After quoting from tht decision of the North Carolina supreme court to show that section 7 of the North Carolina law Is not discriminative as was charged, Justice White said: j "In the argument il is insisted that the construction given by the supreme court of North Carolina to the statutes is wrong, since in effect j it reads out the provisions of sec-j tion 7 and it is urged that it is thej duty of this court to disregard thej interpretation affixed by the Hfcate court, thereby bringing the statutes within the prohibition of the four teenth amendment. But it is ele mentary that under the circumstan ces we must follow the construction given by the state court and test the constitutionality of the statutes un der that view." The supreme court today decided adversely to the defendant the pre liminary questions Involved in the case of Sheriff Shipp and 26 others pf Chattanooga, Tenu., charged with contempt for the supreme court in lynching a negro named Johnson after the court had taken cognizance of the case. The opinion was hand ed down by Justice Holmes who an nounced that with the preliminaries disposed of the court' would proceed with the presecution. .He did not say when the next stop would be i;i ken. State Again Upheld. The court today decided the in heritance tax case of Camille Cahen and other legatees under the will of the late Mathias Colby of New Or leans against the tax authorities of that city. The state law providing for a tax on bequests was attacked as unconstitutional because of its retroactive features and its lack of uniformity. Colby died a month be fore the law was enacted, but it went into effect before the esta'e was set tled. The opinion in the case was delivered by Justice MeKenna and affirmed the decision of the supreme court of Louisiana which upheld the law. The opinion of the supreme coutt of the United States in the case of! the board of education of the Ken-j tttcky annual conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church vs. The Slate of Illinois, which was handed down today by Justice McKeftia was favo--able to the state.

The Brit ish steamship Albiana, Captain Trin nick, with cattle for Liverpool, was in double collision Sunday afternoon, from which the vessel narrowly es caped sinking just as she was leav ing Lambert's Point coal piers here. The Albiana, assisted by the tug Louisville, was backing out from the i pier3, after taking on bunker coal, ! and the Now York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad tug Crisfield was off Lambert's Point shifting from j one side, to the other of a railroad ; transfer barge she had in tow. The j barge first struck the Albiana on the port quarter, buckling fourteen feet 1 of the steamship's plates. The steel tug then came on, cutting a seven-1 foot, gash in the port side of the j Albiana, which, but for the fact that i she was lteted to the port when the impact came, 'would have sunk when , she righted. The Albiana was carried to New port News for repairs. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Dec. 24.

A proposition to reduce the size of the j cavalry arm of the French army the I arm of the service which has steadily j decreased in Importance with the per j fection and increasing range of small ' arms is attracting much attention In j the army, in parliament and in the j puss. The discussion revolves about the necessity of strengthening the ur I tilery upon which the fate of modern j battles depends. As parliament With I constantly growing budgets and a de- licit for the present year of about 200. 1 OOO.nro francs, will not listen to an ln j crease of military expenses, the only possibility of strengthening the artll j lery is at the expense! of another arm of the service, and all arc agreed Unit cavalry can 'be sacrificed wiih least I danger. As It now stands France's Held artil lery compared with German's with which French standards of strength are ! naturally measured is less, than two- thirds at that of her possible adversary, j Although the number of batteries is I about equal,' namely 606, the dispar ity of strength is due to the fact that 1 eight years ago when France possess 1 ed the only effective quick firing gun. j the number of guns per battery was reduced from six to four on the theory I that four quick firet's were superior to. six of the slower pattern in use by the 1 other powers. Superiority of the Teuton. I Since then, however. Germany has 1 I equipped her artillery with a field gun I as good as that of the French and is , now able to fire three shots to Franco's two. Many believe the strengthening 'of the artllery can be accomplished j without Increasing the war budget or ' materially decreasing the effectiveness I by the complete suppression of twelve of the thirteen regiments of Cuiras siers and turning over the men and ! horses to the artillery. The argument, I of course, is that In modern wal fare 1 the role of cavalry has entirely changed. Battles which formerly hung in the balance until the cavalry was launched are now decided by artillery antl the long range the of the modern rift.
