 Intoxicnnfs Are Sold.
 Jefferson City, Mo, May 7.-"Tt is better that the law providing for the closing of the saloons on Sunday should he repealed and that the sale of intox- icating liquors should be transferred from the unlicensed and unregulated Hid clubs" to the licensed and reguiat- ed saloon than that present conditions should continue"
 This was the expression used by Gov ernor Hadlsy in 6 special message to the Missouri Legislature today In an effort to obtain the enactment of a law requiring State license for the sale of intoxicants in social clubs through out the State. The executive asserted that opposition to the measure from reputable social clubs. has caused It's defeat in the Senate and has thus aided the organization in the larger cities of clubs which existed primarily for the purpose of breaking the Sunday clos ing law.
 The Governor declared that the ab- sence of license law left the police without adequate resource against the disreputable clubs and added that the onus of this condition must rest upon the General Assembly uatii regulating statutes asked are provided.

Constantinople, May 7.--The parlia- mentary commission which ts taking an inventory of the contents of the impe- rial palace at Yildiz. has learned that Abdul. Hamid deposited during the re- cent months. considerable sums of money in New York banks through a confidential agent. The amounts thus sent to America and the names of the Institutions holding them are. however. strictly withheld.
 It appears that Abdul Hamid has nearly ;10,oee,o00 in German banks. An examination of the accounts of the deposed Sultan indicate that his conf dence in French banks diminished sew eral years ago, then passed successive ly to Great Britain and Germany and was recently beginning to be Creposed in American houses. It Is uncertain what steps, If any, the present govern ment will take to possess itself of the foreign deposits of Abdul Hamid.
