The Ajax Goes to San Juan for Bodies
Of the Massachusetts Victims.

The Navy Department is informed that
the collier Ajax arrived at San Juan yes
terday for the purpose Of receiving the re-
mains OF the nine sailors of the battle ship
Massachusetts,. who lost their lives as re-
suit Of the recent explosion in the twelve
inch gun turret Of that vessel, and taking
them to New York for interment. Owing to
the strict prohibition against the disinter-
ment of bodies in tropical countries, it re-
quired the special authority Of the governor
Of Porto Rico for the removal of the re-
mains Of the victims of the accident on the
Massa chusetts, and that action was possi-
BILE only because the men had not died from
a disease incident to a tropical climate.

While it is difficult to deal with the
class of hoodlums and disturbers al
ways in evidence at public exercises
through their shrill whistles. screams
and other disQuieting noises, there
should be a means to keep out from
attendance those who are known 10
no of this class. A few irresponsible
and ill-mannered individuals OF va
rious ages may disturb the enjoyment
of a large audience At the gradual
ing exercises last night nearly every
selection was followed with an org.e
of whistles. screams and yells from
the gallery and rear end of the hall
There is a method of indicating ap'
proval which custom has approved
and society accepts as proper. WINS
Ties and screams are evidences ol
nothing but an utter lack of propriety
and decency Managements OF public
halls should spot this class OF disturb
ers and politely refuse them admls
sion in every case. 1t would have
good effect.

In a case at Cando Judge Cowan
holds that it is unlawful to sell any
beverage that contains alcohol, no
matter what the percentage may ne.
It has been a favorite means of de-
fense in blind pig cases to arg'c that
the liquor sold did not contain the
required amount of alcohol to be in
toxicating. 1t is admitted that bey-
erages have been sold with two or
three per cent of alcohol, but the law
prohibits the sale of Intoxicating
LIQUORS. and the argument has been
made that not enough Of a two pei
cent alcoholic beverage can be drunk
to produce intoXication. Under Judge
Cowan's decision, any alcoholic bev
erage would be Intoxicating and its
sale illegal. Such a decision, If sus
tanned, would simply the prosecution
of offenders against the prohibition
law in many cases.

TALKS OF THE BONDS.

State Treasurer Mcmillan Talks On
His Way Home Of Status Of State
Bonds.
Minneapolis Journal D. H. Nc
MILAN. state treasurer of North Da-
kota, was in Minneapolis today on his
way home from California, where he
went thirty days ago on a business
trip. About the time Mr.. Mcmillan
left for the west there was much talk
in North Dakota about the investment
of funds, secured from the sale of in
stitutional bonds of the state, in bonds
authorized by the last North Dakota
legislature, to be secured on the re-
naming institutional lands Mr.. Nc
MILAN refused to invest money from
the school fund in these bonds, as
serting that the issue, if the bonds
were regarded as state bonds, would
carry the states debt beyond the con-
stitutional limit, and that if the
bonds were not state bonds, they
| would fall outside of the classes of
securities in which the state treasurer
might legally invest. Mr. Mcmillan
says:
"As you knpw, | was reelected

that that was my intention.
