TRADE IN OPIUM
DISCLOSED BY DEALERS
We'll Financed and Organized Band Of
smuggIers conspire to Evade
the New Law

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Details
of a plot to outwit the federal officials
of this port and to evade the new
statute which forbids the importation
of opium into this country have come
TO the knowledge of the local surveyor.
AS the result more elaborate precau-
lions have been taken against snug
Cling than have been used here in
years.
Under the cover of the general i'm
preston that there would be no at
tempts made to smuggle opium into
this country as long as the present
bountiful supply of the drug held out,
a well organized and generously I'm
anced ring, according to the customs
officials, was formed with agents in
San Francisco and the Orient to con-
duct an Illicit trade in the contraband.
The first intimation of the conspiracy
to evade the new law was conveyed to
Surveyor of the Port Edward F.
Woodward by the regular opium deal
ers of San Francisco, who feared the
dumping of a mass of contraband on
the market would reduce their present
enormous profits. A number of plain
clothes men and special surveyors have
been placed at work on the case, but
how far their Investigations have led
them can only be surmised at this
time
1t is generally admitted, however,
that the headquarters of the ring is in
China, with agents throughout the
United States.

INTERIOR OF ALASKA MAY
NOT SEE PRESIDENT TAFT
Present Plans include Only South
western cities-Deslres to Visit
Southern California

SEATTLE, Wash, May 6.-Unless
President Taft's plans are changed his
trip to Alaska will not take him into
the interior. AS now contemplated, the
presidents tour will be arranged to
enable him to visit all the towns in
southwestern Alaska, including Sitka,
and then the executive will go by spe-
cial boat to Valdez.
The president probably will visit Cor
dova also, for Cordova is the tidewater
terminus of the Morgan-Guggenhe
road building in the Copper river coun-
try with the intention of ultimately
reaching Fairbanks and other Yukon
river points.
President Taft may return to Seattle
after his visit to Alaska and make the
trip to California by rail. The latter
question is not yet determined, though
the general statement is made that the
pr4ysident desires to visit every Pacific
coast city between Seattle and Los
Angeles
If he adheres to this plan he will come
here after visiting Alaska. An alterna-
tive plan of going by steamboat direct
to San Francisco is under consideration.
Whether or not the president will make
the Alaskan trip on steamship owned
by one of the corporations operating in
the north or win be taken on one Of
the government boats is not yet an
nounced.

WOMAN ASKS DAMAGES
OF WESTERN UNION co.
Society Leader Claims Harmful Mes
sages Sent by Husband Should
Have Been Refused

CHICAGO, May 6.-The right of a
telegraph company to transmit mes
sages which might reflect on the char
acter of a person, is to be tested in a
damage suit which has been brought by
Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw, wife of w.
Gould Brokaw, against the Western
Union Telegraph company.
The suit for divorce instituted by
Mrs. Brokaw some time ago contains
sensational allegations concerning the
young millionaire's treatment of her,
both in private and in public. She now
alleges that her husband sent many
messages not only to her. but to her
relatives and friends derogatory to her
character.
When the telegraph company was in
formed of the suit it dug up from the
files several hundred messages which
had been sent by Mr.. Brokaw.
These kilograms, Mrs. Brokaw con-
tends, constitute libels on her not only
because of their contents, but because
the company on accepting them and
transmitting their contents through it's
agents disseminated the libel.
The telegraph company declared it
was not worried by the suit, as no one
had yet been able to recover on similar
allegations.

ENGAGEMENTS OF TWENTY
GOODS STARTLE FACULTY
University Of California Decides to
Add Summer Course in House,
hold Economy

BERKELEY, May 6.--Startled by the
announcement during the past week of
ten engagements among the students Oh
ulty of the institution has decided to
add a course in household economy to
the curriculum of the coming summer
session.
Several years ago there was an cpl
demic of engagements and secret mar
riages among the students of the uni
versity, and so serious was the matter
considered that President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler made a special address to the
co-eds, advising them against encour-
aging marriage until the men students
had become wage earners.
This talk put an end to the secret
marriages, but the engagements have
gone serenely on, until the record of
this week was made.
The announcements have revived the
question of the desirability of co-edu-
cation, and the discussion among the
faculty and students has already be-
come animated.

FARE
SUIT IS FORBIDDEN
BY FEDERAL COURT
PEOPLE OF MISSOURI CANNOT
PROSECUTE RAILROADS
Judge Mcpherson Decides Adversely
to Circuit Attorney and Cites
Interesting Reasons for
His Decree

KANSAS CITY, May 6.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson in the federal court
here today continued In force the tenn
porary Injunction granted recently by
Judge John F. Philips restraining Sic
bert Jones, circuit attorney of St
Louis, from prosecuting the suit filed
by him in the circuit court of that
city seeking to restrain the railroads
of Missouri from charging 3-cent
passenger rate.
No other state officers are included
in the injunctive order, which Is to
remain in force until differently or
dered by the court"
The order contained the reservation,
however, that supplemental orders
might be issued against other persons
should subsequent events demand such
action
Judge Mcpherson said he did not in
clude Attorney General Major and the
members of the state railroad and
warehouse commission in the injunc-
ton, because they had stated under
oath that they had not inspired or en-
couraged the ST. Louis suit and did not
intend to have anything to do with 1t
in the future.
Judge Mcpherson based his decision
today upon the belief that the purpose
of the ST. Louis suit was to relitigate
the question settled by him in his final
decree upon the Missouri rate cases
issued March 8, 1909
sThat decree is the law until it is
reversed" said he, land 1t must stand
until it is reversed by an appellate
court. 1t must not ne trampled upon,
either"
Judge Mcpherson referred to the quo
warranto suit filed In the state SUI
preme court asking that the railroads
be ousted from the state, and said:
This court is entirely willing to al
low the supreme court to dispose OF
that case"
