SEEM HEARTLBSS
PARISlANS INDIFFERENT TO TIE

NO SIGN OF PUBLIC SORROW

People Continue to Flock to the Races
and to Fill the Theatres, the Fund
for the Sufferers Growing at snaiI's
Pace-More Interest in the Automo-
bile Faces Than in News OF the
Disaster.
Paris, May 16.-The American Wis
itors here cannot understand the seem
ing Indifference Of the Parisians in re-
gard to the Martinique disaster. Be
yond the halfmasted flags over the gov
ernment Offices, there are no signs of
public mourning. The people flock
to their usual resorts, attend the races,
fill the theatres, none of which have
been closed, no extras" issued and
there is no demand for them. But the
evening papers, containing bulletins
of the automobile races, are eagerly
purchased.
The various funds being, raised for
the relief Of the Martinique sufferers
now only total $685. 900 francs, includ-
ing the large subscriptions Of the for
eign pctentates and the 10000 francs
from the municipality. The provinces
seem more interested in the disaster
than the capital. They are actively
organizing committees to raise funds
and there is much mourning at the
seaports whose ships were destroyed.
A representative Of the Associated
Press has just returned from the min
istry OF the colonies. Besides the re-
porters, those who were in the waiting
room, around the green board, on
which the official bulletins are posted,
were almost exclusively natives OF
Martinique. Occasionally a woman is
sued from the ministers room in tears
after learning the fate Of some loved
one. The opposition is beginning to
use the cataclysm as a club to beat
the government.

CANNOT RE PROHIBITED.
Gales Of Liquor in Iowa Made by Out
side Parties.

les Moines, May 16.-The supreme
court has ruled that the sale Of liquor
to "DCotleggers" and other resident
s'iOlators Of the Iowa law cannot be pro-
hibited when the sales are made by
agents of nonresident dealers. The
court holds that the section of the
Iowa liquor law known as the ''Eulct
law" prohibiting such sales, is in cor
fict with Interstate commerce laws
and is therefore unconstitutional The
decision is rendered in the case Of the
State versus Pat Hunaphy Of Jefferson
county, and is reversed in favor Of the
defendant, who was an agent for an
Illinois liquor house, soliciting orders
at Fairfield, which were filled by ship
ment direct to the purchaser.
The effect of the decision is to pre-
vent further seizure of liquor in the
hands of express and other transporta-
tion companies and disposes of many
such cases now pending.
