Washington, March 2.-Before the

day public hearings were begun Oh the
Hepburn-Dolliver bill, which seeks to
change the interstate commerce law
so that all intoxicating liquors shipped
from outside States may be subject
to the laws of the State to which they
are shipped or through which they
may pass. The measure, in effect, is
intended to aid local option and pre-
vent any city or county subject to that
law from receiving intoXicants of any
kind or character in broken or un-
broken packages, from outside setcions
Ever since the measure was framed
the liquor interests and their organized
opponents have been girding for the
fray and the liveliest contest of the
kind that Congress has witnessed since
the anti-canteen legislation is expected
to take place. The hearings begun
today will probably continue until the
end of the week. Thousands of

Des Moines in Commission.

Boston, March 1.-The new United
States sheathed cruiser Des Moines
was placed in commission today at the
Charlestown navy yard, the occasion
being attended by the usual ceremonies.
Rear Admiral Mortimer L. johnson,
ccmmandant Of the navy yard, formally
turned over the vessel to Commander
Alexander McCracken, U. S. ~, who
is to be her first commander. Officer
and crew we're mustered on deck and
salute was fred as the Stars and
Stripes we're hauled up to the mast
head.
The cruiser Des Moines was coz
structed at the yards of the Fore
River Ship and Engine company of
Quincy, Mass. She is similar in de-
sign to the Cleveland, the Tacoma,
the Chattanooga and the Galveston.
Her length over all is 308 feet 9 inches
anu her full load displacement, $500
tons.
In the construction of the Des
Moines and her sister ships corn pith
with an estimated capacity of 6,72o
cubic feet has been used as an obturat-
ing material for the water line protec-
tion, so that if the hull should be
pierced by shot the swelling of the
corn pith placed between the outer
and inner plates will prevent the
ingress of the water.
