cut any county police, the deputy
sheriffs having become automatically
suspended upon the death of Sheriff
Everett G.. Seully.
In such cases coroners and consta-
bles are empowered to serve all writs
and precepts directed to them. The
coroners might even be called upon to
aid in experimenting criminals or in
serving warrants, but there are no
county officers excepting the county
attorney, who may direct writs for the
enforcement of the law
This state of affairs will continue I'M
til a new sheriff shall have been APP
pointed and qualified, which may be
two or three days. 1t is said that when
the deatn of Sheriff Seully become gen
orally known. a. large number of or
ders for Intoxicating liquors were at
once placed with Boston and Ports
mouth firms, and that invoices of this
class of goods have been large, today.
If anyone believes that the death of
the sheriff and the suspending of the
deputies at once stops all enforcement
of the liquor laws, they are mistaken
Coroners, constables and local police
forces may serve warrants and other
papers under the prohibitory law as
under all other laws.
County Attorney Samuel l.. Bates
this morning, when asked if the pres
ent state of affairs permitted unlim-
tied violation of the States liquor laws,
at once replied: by no means. Should
such a serious state of affairs arise,
would call upon the police and other
qualified officers to enforce the law.
Sheriff Scully died while the legality
of his appointment was still in the
hands of the law court, and before he
had ever drawn cent of his salary.
His death may raise complications IN
the quo warranto proceedings against
him by Former Sheriff Lewis w. Moul-
ton.
1t was said, this morning, that the
judge of the superior court might ap-
point temporary deputies as court Of
ffeers, but Judge Connolly stated that
he knew of no authority for doing so.
Court was held, today. however, with
the former deputies and-court officers
in attendance.
The taller is the only one of Sheriff
Seullys deputies still empowered To
carry on his duties. The law provides
that the deputy entrusted with the
care of the Jail shall continue IN ONCE
until a new official may be appointed
to take his place.

ASYLUM Offered
To All Refugees

Washington. Oct. 2s.-The reported
appeal of the French minister IN Mex
leo City to Charge O'Shanghnessy for
an American warship to protect the
French colony at san 1gnaeio, Sinaloa,
had not reached washington, today,
but if such a request has been made,
it probably will be granted
The cruiser Maryland is due, today
at MaZatlan. The cruiser California is
at Guaymas with the supply ship
Glacier and the cruiser Pittsburgh will
leave san Francisco for the Mexican
Pacific coast saturday. If news OF
distress of the French colony at san
Ignacio reaches any of those vessels,
asylum will be offered TO any refugees
without the forfhality of a request
from the French government.
John Lind. President Wilson'S per-
soual representative at Vera Cruz, had
been instructed TO offer asylum TO
any citizen of Mexico or any for
eigner who might be in danger. Act
ing under such instructions. Mr.. Lind
might have greater freedom of action
than a naval officer bound by reg
ulations.
The gunboat Wheeling, because of
her light draft, has been held at<Vera
Cruz with the single purpose of ar
fording refuge to political fugitives
as well as officials of the American
embassy or other Americans or for
eigners who might be in distress. The
Wheeling was chosen for that partich-
lar purpose because she was able to
approach the shore at Vera cruz,
whereas the battleships under Rear
Admiral Fletcher's command have
been Obliged to anchor about six
miles off the city.
officials say there is no question
whatever of the right of a naval COM
mander to extend asylum to such
fugitive as DiaZ. as there have been
many precedents to support such ac-
ton.

The possibilities Of an investigation

For the last two years the sechr-

Good stocks and bonds are down al
