VICTORY UPON
 COTTON QUESTION

London, February 12.-At today's ses- sion of the International naval confer ence it was decided that cotton should not be placed upon the list of absolute non-contraband articles
 This is one of the points for which the American delegates to the conference have been fighting and the outcome is con- sidered a victory for Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton and Prof. George Grafton Wilson of Brown university. After prolonged discussion of what should constitute contraband the confer ence agreed to draw up three lists, viz: Absolute contraband, which, with a few notifications is the same as that adopted by the peace conference at The Hague; absolute non-contraband, and conditional contraband.

 ''3. It is strikingly true that in most cases where an inferior dairy herd has been in existence for some years it will be found that expensive methods are being practiced and an inferior grade of output Is being produced
 A. Southern dairying needs improve ment all along the line. The cost of pro- duction is unreasonably high; the sani- tary conditions are often bad, and the price of first-class products is in some cases too low.
 "The three main points that every southern dairyman should bear in mind and which cannot be too strongly em- phasized are: Better COWS; more home grown feed; a better product"

A. A. U. WILL ATTEMPT
TO STIFTE OUTLAW LEAGUE

New York.-The Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States is losing
no time in an effort to discourage the
new outlaw athletic league, which was
recently formed in Chicago. Presi-
dent James E. Sullivan of the A. A.
u, has directed Otto E. Schmidt of
the central association, which is the
controlling body at Chicago, to dis
qualify every man who competes in
any event given by the new league
and to have the registration commit
tee in Chicago pass a resolution dis
qualifying the men that officiate in
any such meeting.
In his letter to Mr.. Schmidt, Presi-
dent Sullivan used strong language,
declaring that if the outlaw league
wants a fight, he will give them more
than they expected and says that he
does not propose to see amateur sport
deteriorate 20 where 1t was 20 years
ago.
'T rather welcome this incident,
more than 1 regret it," said Mr.. Sui
livan in discussing his letter. "Ath-
letics in the middle west are DOR
mant and need stirring up. little
scrap like this will revive interest
in the sport and be better for it and
for all concerned. The parent body

ent. and there is not the slghtes'
doubt but it will come out on top.

There is more Catarrn in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced II local disease

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced 1t lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis.

grade. He claims that O'Brien's real
name is Michael Obrenovtch, and
that he was brought to America to es-
cape the dangers caused by the mar
riage of Alexandra and Draga, which
almost precipitated a revolution in
Servia.
For a time he was cared for by a
faithful servant of the Obrenovitchs,
who located at Newark, N. j., with
his charge, and lived there until his
pension was cut off by the death of
Alexander Since then no informa-
ton concerning the reputed son had
been forthcoming. A friend told OF
having met him recently, working as
a bellboy. This friend knew him in
Chicago, where it is said O'Brien
worked at the Auditorium hotel. La
ter he came west and is believed to
have drifted to Denver, and possibly
on to San Francisco.

COURTS WILL NOT Be
LEN|ENT TO JOKERS
MEN WHO PERPETRATED
JOKE HOLDUP MAY SUFFER
If Complaint Is Filed They VIII Be
Treated As Common Highwaymen
Prosecutor Hcnnessy Cites Similar
Cases Which Have Been Punished.

Regarding the "joke" holdup in
Portland in which two young men
held up a local attorney to test his
boasted courage, the oregonian of re-
cent date says
L. B. Reed and Paul B. Powers,
the young men who held up and rob-
bed Attorney D. e. Powers last Thurs
day night, will get but little sympa-
thy from the states prosecutors when
their case is called for trial this
morning in the municipal court. Dep
uty District Attorney Hennesey, VINO
has charge of the case, said last night
that if Powers files complaint
against the men accusing them or
highway robbery, the case will be
pushed in court the same as any oth-
er highway robbery charge.
Mr.. Hennesey believes, if the facts
are presented by Attorney Powers,
that there will be little trouble In
binding the two men over to the
grand jury, on the evidence. He points
to a precedent in the case of the
State against Jack Horn, defendant
having been sent to the penitentiary
for a "joke" holdup. In Horns case
the facts were decidedly in favor OF
the assumption that the holdup was
| intended as a joke Horn had been
with two friends, drinking, and had
become separated from them. Later
at night he met two men on the
Burnside bridge in the full glare OF
the electric lights. He pointed his
| finger at the men, saying: Il nave
YOU now, hold up your hands Po-
lice Sergeant Goltz, who was passing
on the streetcar, jumped off and ar
rested Horn. The men were not
Horns acquaintances of the early
evening as he thought, and when. a
verdict was later returned finding
him guilty he was sentenced to serve
a year in the state penitentiary.
1t is said by lawyers that Horn
case was more favorable than that OF
Powers and Reed as no motive could
be shown nor had anything been ia
ken from the men by Horn. The evil
dence which will be presented against
the two men, it is said, will aim to
show a strong motive for waylaying
and robbing Attorney Powers.
Attorney Reed and Powers are free
under 500 bail each. This bail was
placed on the minor charge against
them of carrying concealed weapons
At police headquarters it is believed
Reed and Powers will not appear for
hearing when the case is called IN
the municipal court this morning.

BEST OF HILL
ROAD

KALISPEL, Mont, April 23.-
In three separate dashes for the
court house. the attorneys for the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway have defeated the
attorneys for the Great Northern
and have gotten their deeds and
condemnation suits for rights of
way for the new line through the
North Fork river canyon on file
first.
There was a great race yester-
day by Great Northern attorneys
to secure options on the land. The
options we're secured and brought
back and filed in the court house.
Six hours before, however, the
Milwaukee attorneys had filed
condemnation suits against the
same property. 1t is thought that
the Milwaukee holds the whip
hand and that it will shut the
Great Northern out.
