The Ship Was saved From TRAITORS.


Mr.. James Edmund Cumming In aThe

b u certainly an interesting story. The
prologue will startle the reader come
thing that prologues do not always do.
The Ice encrusted and plainly distressed
comes numbering into port. A
woman is steering her. sole figure upon
the deck. Her hands are frozen to the
wheel. The bully skipper Is below. his
arms lied behind him. The slide OF the
companion way is moved back. The
woman's lusty son appears. dragging up
the volubly profane skipper. Cast Of
my hands!' roars the skipper. The young
a laughing. trips him and throws him
sprawling. Il am going to throw you
overheard he says. He seizes the skip
per and dances him along toward the
stern OF the craft. Meroiful people inter-
fere, or overheard the skipper would have
gone.
To the owner OF the Trentin Shipyards
the energetic young sailor explains. He
had tied up the skipper. who had abused
himand his mother ever since he had taken
them from the ~poorhouse. Further, the
young man makes IL known that he wants
a job in the yards. He gets It. Still
further we see the proprietor Of the yards
going of to refresh himself and to drown
memories in n Of the peculiar bar
rooms that have arisen under the Maine
liquor law.
After this We have a fulfilling tale Of q
cruiser that was built In the yards. II
was a thoroughly formidable craft.
Traitors attempted to get hold Of 1t and
to turn it over to the enemy when the
United Statee became involved In war
The scheme was frustrated. but 1t was
well nigh being successful. and the rela-
ton of what happened makes a stirring

OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION.

In special message to the Tennessee
legislature yesterday afternoon Governor
Patterson discussed in detail the subject
Of statewide prohibition. He declared
that statewide prohibition is funda-
emsutalIy and profoundly wrong as a
governmental policy, and does not ac.
complish the result hoped for. He said
IL violates the plsinest and most tbvious
role, individual action and personal
freedom. He declared that the use or
uonuse of liquor should be left to the
individual. He reviewed the legislation
by ether states on this subject, declaring
that states cannot prevent the msnufac-
ture of liqu-r in other states and the
shipment from other states. He declar-
ed for her that until the United States
forbids the manufacture aud sale of IL
quor il is not possible ID have prohibit
tiou law.
To destroy the value ofexisting plants
without remuneration, the governor ssid
is con6scatiou without compensation.
He asserted that prohibition states are filled
with open and secret violations OF the
law, aud that the abolition of The sale Of
liquor by law Is an "imposslbllity and
an empty dream"
The governor lald the choice lay be.
tween regulation and control of the law
aud secret or optn violation Of the air
He made a slr)ng plea for local option.

JAPANESE INCENsED.

A dispatch from Toxic says that
following the receipt Of special cable dis
patches from San F Faucisco, relating to
bills now pending before the California
legislature, japanese newspapers yes
terday elaborated on the strained rsla-
tions that may arise through the passage
tf bills and the enactment of laws for
bidding the ownership Of land and the
attendance of public schools by japan
ese residents Of California. A ma.
jority of the papers assume the passage
OF the bills as n probability aud protest
against them as an ipjust'ce to the Jap
auese now living iD California.
SIme OF the Toxic Newspapers ex-
press surprise at what is termed an evil
dsnce of uDfriendliness after the sincere
Effort on Japsn's part 10 prove her
friendship toward the people of the
United States,
The extreme opposition papers ssia'l
the Japanese government "ior falling In
to the arms Of q nation which at the
first opportunity not only shows its up.
friendly spirit, but even denies equal
opportunity to the Japanese.
Newspapers published iu English rep
resentipe British aud German iaterests
are ms king much OF the CaliforDia legis-
lsture's acton and are pointing out that
A merica, which recently, ,endeavoring to,
create an impression Of freudiuess to-
ward japan, in reality was unflisDdiy.
