wHoLEsAlIMG HELD LEGAL
Decision Of state Supreme Court May
Wipe Out All "Dry" Territory
in Minnesota. q

In sweeping decision on the liquor
question the state supreme court Is
believed to have in effect wiped out
the "dry" territories Of Minnesota.
While the sale of liquor at retail is
prohibited in certain districts the su-
IRENE court holds that the sale OF
liquor at wholesale cannot be prevent
ed by municipalities.
On the basis of the supreme court
decision, attorneys say, there is moth
ing to prevent anyone from establish
ing warehouses in dry" territories
and distributing at wholesale beer,
whisky or other liquors without a
license.
The case passed upon by the court
was that of William Hogan against P.
]. Sullivan, chief of police, East Grand
Forks.
Hogan opened a wholesale liquor
house in East Grand Forks after the
"lid" was put on and was arrested on
a charge of selling liquor without a
license, but was subsequently dis
charged on writ Of habeas corpus.
The chief of police appealed the
case.
The supreme court holds that the
city council has not the power to
license and regulate the sale of liquor
at wholesale and therefore Hogan can
continue business in the dry" terri
tory.

Court Decides That License Carried
at Recent Election.
Judge Taylor handed down a deci-
sion in the district court at Fergus
Falls in the injunction suit brought
by the anti-license people to prohibit
the issuing of liquor licenses in that
city. The vote at the recent election
was 900 against license and SAG in ia
vor, with 81 blanks. The charter pro-
vides that licenses shall not be grant
ed IF majority of the legal votes
cast at which election shall be against
license"
Judge Taylor announced that he
would hold that majority of the
votes cast on the proposition should
govern were it not for a supreme
court decision in an Osakis case. In
that case the supreme court held that
a majority of all votes cast at an elec-
tion was necessary to carry license
and Judge Taylor holds that in this
case the same rule will have TO apply
in order to defeat license. He accord
ingly dismisses the case and the city
council is now at liberty to grant IL

CHARGE BILL HITS
AMERICAN CITIES
Panama Canal Measure Will Injure
American Railroads and Ports
to Benefit of Canada Is Claim.

Chairman Adamson OF the Interstate
Commerce Committee called up the Pan
anna Canal bill in the House yesterday
served to develop that many members
believe the measure may operate to dis
criminate against American railroads in
favor of Canadian lines. 1t was con-
tended that the provision of the bill ex-
cluding from the canal railroad-owned
steamships cannot operate against steam
ships owned by Canadian railroads, and
that the enactment of the bill in its
present form will mean that the ports
of Seattle and Portland. on the Pacific,
and Boston, on the Atlantic, will be un-
able TO compete with Halifax and Van
couverA The commercial overthrow of
the American cities would surely follow,
according to the prophesies made yester-
day.
The bill fixes the tolls for the canal
and provides regulations for its opera
ton. Representative Adamson explained
the provisions of the measure in detail.
He was followed by Representative Ste
yens Of Minnesota in an argument in
support of many important provisions.
II is believed that two or three days
will be required to complete the consid-
Grafton of the bill.
Representative Doremus Of Michigan, a
Democrat. charged that small coterie
Of Wall Street parasites" had entered
into a conspiracy with the railroads to
force Congress to strike from the bill
the prohibition against railroad-owned
steamships. He said attempts had been
made to force Congress hand by refus-
ing TO advance money for the construc-
tion Of ships.

ANXIOUS EYES ARB
TURNED ON KNOX
Attitude Of Secretary on Knifng Of
State Department by House
Is Moot Question.

The return Of Secretary Knox to his
once in the State Department to-day ID
awaited with great interest, because OF
the knifing OF the departments organiza-
tion by the House during his absence in
the West The question is: VIII Secre-
tary Knox exert himself seriously In an
endeavor to save the department from
what Acting Secretary Wilson says VIII
wreck the present organizationr'
It is known that Secretary Knox win
be strongly urged to take up the cudgels
on behalf OF the department and use
whatever means are at his disposal to-
ward remedying what has been done by
the House. Friends of the department
have repeatedly expressed the hope that
Secretary Knox would. on his return,
lead a fight against the action OF the
Democratic House. Yet, on the other
hand. the general opinion Is that Mr..
Knox will not indulge in any spectacular
methods of defending his department or
endeavoring to secure for 1t maintenance
in the form given It by the reorganiza-
ton three years ago under his own di-
rectlon.
The matter Is q vital issue to those
officials of the Bureau of Trade ReIa-
tons, abolished by the House, and to the
numerous officials intrusted with the
conduct OF the business Of foreign reia-
tons under the reorganiZed plan. II the
Senate accepts the House measure, the
salaries of all wfll cease on June 30. less
than six weeks from the present date.
Send Circular Letter.
Acting Secretary Wilson. in Mr.. Rnox's
absence, gave out an interview protest
ing against the House action and de-
claring it would wreck the organization
OF the department in its conduct of for
eign relations, and in it's efforts, through
the Bureau OF Trade Relations, to further
American export trade.
A circular letter has been sent to the
trade bodies of the country, calling at
tention to the effect of the House meas
ure upon the departments efforts abroad
In the interests of American trade. Also,
the departments case has been laid be-
fore Senator Warren, who will have
charge of the bill in the Senate commit
tee.
In administration circles It Is declared
that there is ammunition for a lively
political battle In the House attitude to-
ward the State Department, which, II
used, can result only in the discredit of
the Democrats and victory for the de-
partment, Those holding this view argue
that It would be wise politically, for Mr..
Knox TO make the most OF the issue Of
fered him.

Work on Project.

Now that the Naval Committee of the

project to construct a chain Of gigantic
naval wireless stations, it is believed the
8, ,000, 900 appropriation asked for this pur-

on the stations will be begun as soon as
the money becomes available.
The House proposes to make S4Oo,O

stations at once. This sum, naval offi-
GERS say, would be sufficient for two sta
tions. 1t Is planned to build the first
two at the Canal Zone and at San Fran
cisco, Cal, with the possibility that
Pearl Harbor might be chosen for the
second station instead of San Francisco.
One station is already under construction
at Arlington, Va, opposite Washington
The other stations viii be built as rap
idly as authorized at the Canal Zone,
San Francisco, Cal; Pearl Harbor,
