a mild article compared with the new
Kansas law, which has just gone into
effect. There was report few weeks
ago that this law was so severe tha,
1t made it a crime for man to drinH
his own liquor from his own bottle
1t is not quite so harsh as that, but II
comes near. He may drink in the pri-
yacy of his home, so far as appears
but not at his club or in railroad
train or other public place. According
to synopsis Of the law at hand, nc
alcoholic liquors can be sold in the
state for any purpose, not even on
physician's prescription or to save your
life. No public agencies are provided
for supplying liquors for medicina
purposes. The old law allowed drug
gists to sell for such purposes, bu,
+. they cannot now legally fill prescrip-
ton calling for alcoholic liquor as
an ingredient. Not only Is the sale OF

of LIQUOR on the shelves Is made prima

New York, July s: In the hope OF
capturing Leon Ling, the accused
slayer Of Elsie Sigel, the police have
lust cabled to several cities on the
Mediterranean coast and to points
through the Suez canal and Indian
ocean to hold up the German steam
shin Helene Rickmers and search II
for the fugitive. Information Is al
most conclusive, the police say, that
Ling was shipped from Philadelphia
between June 10 and II. The murder
was committed on June 9. Detectives
found that the Helene Rickmers left
Philadelphia on June IL, bound for
Itosaki, Japan, and that before sailing
her commander, Captain Getting, had
shipped several Cinnamon as part OF
the crew. Among these Cinnamon
who were engaged only a short time
before sailing, was one well-dressed
man who spoke good English and who
professed 10 be an expert cook. Leon
Ling wore good clothes, spoke English
fluently and was a master cook. The
Helene Rickmers was the only vessel
which left Philadelphia at about that
time for the Orient. The vessel
was last reported at Tarifa, seaport
town of Spain, fifteen miles southwest
from Gibraltar, on June rs.
The continued uprisings and dis
turbances which have shaken Morocco
for the last three months seem to have
reached a climax on June "a, when the
army Of the sultan was defeated by a
combined force of insurgents and driv-
en- into the city Of Fee. According to
advices received at the state depart
ment from Minister Dodge, at Tan
sier, a battle disastrous to the govern
ment occurred within a few miles Of
Fee. After much fighting the sultan's
troops were put to rout. They are now
adding to the Notifications in that city.
The combined troops are under the
leadership of a former Moroccan gen.
eral named Roghi, and are encamped
just outside of the city, which, Minis
ter Dodge thinks, they will probably
capture within few days. The feel
ing against the sultan seems, accord

the revolution will be successful unless
foreign powers intervene. The rebels
have not yet selected a man they de-
sire to place on the throne. There are
several candidates from each Of the
insurgent clans, and until some one is
chosen it is probable that hostilities
will be delayed. There is no doubt,
however, that the government of the
sultan is tottering.
