His captor Says Unless Terms Are

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TANGIER, Aug 14.-It has been learned
that Sir Harry Maclean, the Englishmnn
in the service of the sultan of Morocco
who has been a prisoner of the bandit
Raisuli since early in July, has not been
set at liberty, as previously reported. The
British legation here today received
communication from Raisuli threatening
that unless his terms are accepted imme-
diatey he would remove Maclean to
place whittier all the armies of Europe, II
united. could not follow.
1t seems that Raisuli, upon hearing of
the bombardment and occupation of casa
Blanca, succeeded in taking Maclean back
of the Kmass tribesmen and removed him
to a strategetic position in the neighbor-
hood of Ben Iarous
Maclean Is well, but he has been de-
prived of his tent and compelled to oc-
cupy an ordinary soldiers tent of small
size. He is subsisting upon black bread.
PARIS, Aug. 14.-Competent government
circles decline to discuss the possibility
of France eventually being compelled to
overstep the limits of the Algeciras con-
vention, but the following statement was
made today from authoritative quarters:
Events at Casa Blanca may force our
hands, but until they do we shall try in
good faith to carry out the mandate we
hold from the powers"

DRUGGIST NAMES
LICENSE SCHEME
WANTS "LIQUoR BOOK" ATTACH
ED TO PHARMACIES
Would Do as In State of Washington,
Where Revenue Is Earned by
This Tax, and LaWbreak-
Ing Lessened

Pharmacist j. n. Gregory yesterday told
Mayor Harper of the practice that pre-
walls in the state of Washington by
which pharmacists can sell liquor to men
who sign a register.
"I would suggest" said Druggist
Gregory, that Los Angeles do as is done
in Washington-allow the pharmacists to
sell liquor to those who sign book, like
a poison book, to show what liquor is
wanted and what 1t is needed for
"Do this, and say charge s. or what
ever may be fixed each month for
license.
by thus licensing the 200 druggists here
you would get thousands of dollars eacn
year now lost to the city.
"It would make the druggists and their
patrons more honest instead of petty law
breakers every time some sick person is
given little liquor"
Mr. Gregory presented clipping from a
newspaper up north which he said his
attorney told him holds good In Los
Angeles. 1t reads:
1t has been discovered by the chief of
police of Bellingham, Wash, that
unless druggists sell whisky by the
glass to the trade they cannot be COM
PEELED to pay a retail license TO the
city.
In OIner WOTuSs lIS uS6iSNS iAAdS
sell in any sized bottles they want 10
and escape any penalty.
Anxious to execute the law and do
the bidding of the mayor that all drug
stores selling liquor shall be compelled
to pay a license to the city or be ar
rested, Chief of Police Thomas recently
sought to purchase drinks of whisky
from certain druggists, but they re-
fused.
The chief has carefully read the
license which the state gives the
graduate druggist to sell drugs and he
finds therein that they can, by the
privileges it affords, sell liquor in
packages, and if the purchaser signs
statement that it is for medicinal pur-
poses the druggist is clearly within
the law. Only when they sell liquor
by the glass without license can they
be arrested

UNION PACIFIC CUTS
OFF TIME TO EAST
BETTER SERVICE is ASSURED ON
THROUGH FREIGHT
Congestion in Cheyenne Yards Re-
IIeved by Construction of Track
aoe-Roadbed Cut Through
Solid Rock

NEW YORK. Aug. 14-Following the
of work on the building OF lts
Athol hill cutoff south of Cheyenne, tne
Union Pacific railroad has announced tle
details of this important Improvement
which will result in considerable saving
of time on Pacific coast through trelshe
to Denver and eastern points
Construction of this line will also re-
lieve the congestion of the Cheyenne
yards.
Starting on the main line of the Union
pacific between Denver and Cheyenne,
near Carr, Colo, the new cutoff runs
northeast to Borie, Wyo., connecting with
the main line through Wyoming nine
and a half miles west of Cheyenne
A branch leaves the main stem between
Carr and Borie three miles south OF COR
lett, connecting with the Wyoming dlvl-
sion four and a half miles west of Chey-
enne
The total length of the new lines under
construction is seventeen miles and the
saving in distance between Denver and
Borie and points west by way of the
main stem of the cutoff is over thirteen
miles.
Maximum Grade
The maximum grade on the present
line between Carr and Cheyenne is 1.S
per cent in both directions.
This grade by the new line is cut down
to 1.2 per cent north or west bound, with
no adverse grades south or east. The
troublesome curves of the present line
are also avoided. 1t is expected to have
the cutoff completed and in operation pe-
for the end of the year.
Two hundred and twenty thousand
cubic yards of roadbed excavation, about
10000 yards of which is solid rock, and
900. 900 cubic yards of embankment are in
voived in the building of the cutoff. The
largest fill is 200 feet long and forty-fve
feet high.
Bridging on the new line consists OF
concrete arches, cast iron pipe culVerts
and three-pile trestles of five, eight and
ten spans. The longest arch is 1876 feet.
Three new stations will be located along
the line to serve local traffic, of which
there is very little outside of cattle ship
ments.

MANSFIELD MAY NEVER
APPEAR ON STAGE AGAIN
Condition of Prominent Actor Grows
Worse and Near Friends Are
Not Optimistic as
to Future
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LYON MOUNTAIN, N. Y, Aug. IA
Richard Mansfield is not improving in
health and those close to him reluctantly
admit their conviction that the actor will
never again be seen on the stage.
Arrangements have been made to take
Mr.. Mansfield to his summer home near
New London, Conn, next Sunday if at
that time he is able to make the journey.
The trip will be made on special train
that can be run as slowly as needs be to
avoid the discomfort of jolting. Sunday
was chosen, as it was thought that it
could be quieter at points along the way
on that day.
