NO MORE BOOZE
AFTER TODAY IN
The u. s. NAVY
Ships will Become Dry Tomorrow
on Order of Secretary

Washington, June 30.-Afloat and
ashore, today sees the last of the wine
mess in the United States Navy. Sec
retary Daniels famous prohibition or
der goes into effect at midnight to-
night, after which any officer found in
possession of alcoholic liquor on board
ship or at any naval station, is guilty
Of misconduct. There is only one eX-
ception, made in the case Of the ships
surgeon who may keep a limited sup
ply Of spirits on hand for medical use
only. But admiral or captain is as
guilty as the seaman If he Keeps a
stock of wines or liquors for his own
consumption or the refreshment Of his
guests.
The naval hostess, too, after mid
night must give up the punch bowl as
a magnet for her guests il the scene
of the entertainment be within the
naval jurisdiction, as at the Naval
Academy, the naval station and the
navy yards. This feature appealed
strongly to Secretary Daniels, who be-
lieved that many young officers could
trace their downfall TO over indulgence
in punch at these social functions.
At midnight tonight the naval regu-
lations which have heretofore allowed
wardroom officers to form a wine mess
or club for the purchase and use of
wines, will be stricken out. and these
stern words will be substituted:
THE use or introduction for drink
ing purposes Of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel. or within any
navy yard or station. is strictly pro-
hibited, and commanding officers will
be directly responsible for the enforce
ment of this order"
Possibility of Modification.
Since announcing this change some
time ago Secretary Daniels had en-
couraged expressions Of opinions of his
action, but the adverse comment from
many officers who held it to be an in
fringement OF their personal liberties,
did not go far toward leading the sec
retary from his firm stand in the mat
ter
The only possibility of modification
is said to be special dispensation which
may be granted during the exchange
OF international courteses, or on such
an occasion as the gathering of ships
OF all nations at the opening Of the
Panama Canal.
The only nation thus far to follow
the example set by the United States
is Norway. whose parliament on June
10. passed resolution making both
the army and the navy messes dry"
This was pleasing To Secretary Dam
iels, and he believes other nations will
come to the support of this theory that
alcohol and military efficiency do not
mix. The German Emperor has lately
been insistent upon temperance among
the shipmen, and in Russia whose
naval losses in the Japanese war have
beeen charged largely to liquor, the
movement has also gained
ground.

CIGAR COMBINE
CUTS THE WAGES
Of statesmen
UNITED SYSTEM WEEKLY PAY
ROLL TO BE CUT ON AVER
AGE SIS TO 81 A STORE

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Salaries of |
United cigar stores clerks have been
cut 10 to 25 per cent through the
adoption of uniform wage scale. |
The cut in wages is roughly estimat-
ed at $175,000 to $250,000 year,
thus more than offsetting the extra
dividend of one-half of one per cent,
which the United paid last year.
The new scale came without warn
ing to the clerks, and more than
100 of those effected quit their jobs
as soon as they were notified of 1t.
Most of the company's 700 stores are
in the two-clerk class and do about
$500 week business. Clerks in these
stores have been drawing all the way
from $12 to $25 a week, but $40 for
the chief and $1S for the assistant
have prevailed generally The dis
trict sales managers up to now have
had charge of the salary lists. I'm
der the new arrangement store do
ing $500 a week will have two clerks
and wage scale of $1,000 "a week
with 2 per cent extra on all sales
above $500, and less than $599.99,
which would be a total of 1872 if sales
ran up to the final figure. The wage
| scale for $500 is $3201 a week. I'm
der the new scale, the clerks in the
"two-clerk, s5OO-class" will receive
$16 and $14.
The clerks in the big downtown
stores will be hardest hit Not more
than four clerks can be employed In
any store, and the store must dc
$500 week business in order to
have a salary roll of SIS a week
with an excess of 3 per cent, which
however, is to be limited The uni
! form wage scale does not recogniz,
any class higher than "four-clerk
$500 week" With $76 week t.
be apportioned among four men tht
day of $40 salaries passes into his
I tory. While the district manager
! keeps each stores payroll as low al
possible the United clerks have rec
ognized. as sort of standard four
clerk payroll: Chief at $40; first as
sistant at $25; second at 500 or $22
I and third at SIS or $40 1t was sait
in one four-clerk store that the chic
salesman had been cut from $40 t.
$50. the first assistant from $25 I,

the third from $1S to $14.

BILLY" Booth, the editor of the
Tonopah Bonanza, is consistent
booster and one who jealousy guards
the interests of his home town Booth
a few days ago in making few re-
marks before the Nevada Press
Association, handed the palm as a
reward for boosting to the good peo-
pie of Goldfield, and claimed that
there was not one man in the city
of Goldfield who was not a booster,
and further claimed there were more
boosters in Goldfield with its present
population than there we're in the
entire city of San Francisco.
We we're glad to hear the state
ment and know that Booth meant
every word of it. "The Goldfield
way" was the motto which was
known throughout the state a few
short years ago, and is one which
will never be forgotten and we hope
that the people of Goldfield will al
ways hold 1t as their own and that
some day 1t will come into power
