MORE PROHIBITION
 FOR THE FRENCH
War Office Wants Total Prohibition During the Present War-Limited
 Prohibition Now In Force.

PARIS, May 8.-It is reported to- day that the government will intro. duce a bill in the House of Depu- ties to prohibit the manufacture of alcoholic drinks during the duration of the present war. While the sale of liquor is curtailed and certain drinks cannot be had in France, the manufacture of alcoholic drinks not so prohibited continues and it is pro- posed by the government to stop the manufacture of liquors at all.
 The success of prohibition in France has been fully demonstrated. The military officers insist that men under the influence of liquor cannot be trusted and that the manufacture and sale of liquor should be prohib- ited until the end of the war.

THAW CASE UNDER
 ADV|SEMENT NOW
New York Attorney General Fears To
 Allow Case To Go To a Jury- Thaw Conviction Expensive.

NEW YORK, May s.-The argu. ments for the state and for Harry Thaw in the effort being made by the attorney-general to prevent a trial by jury for Harry Thaw were concluded yesterday and the case is now under advisement by the appel. ate court.
 The states attorneys realize that the chances of retaining custody of Thaw if his case goes to a jury are poor, and public sentiment has turn ed against the government. It is al. so realized that Thaw will make a good witness for himself and has the money to purchase the services of sanity experts. The cost of the trial to the government will be many thousands of dollars.
 The cost of bringing Thaw back from New Hampshire was $19,O00. The bills were paid by the state leg islature only few days ago. Thaw has cost the state nearly $250,O0O since the murder of Stanford White.

SMITH SELECTS ALL
HIS CABINET EXCEPT
TRANSIT DIRECTOR
Remaining Post, Some of
Mayor-elect's Friends Say,
Will Be rendered to Will

COUNCILS CRITICISED

Mayor-elcct Smith criticized the action
of Counctls' Finance Committee today, in
not providing In the loan ordinance for
the completion OF the Parkway. He said
he would speak TO members Of the COM
mlttce and ask them to change the
ordinance TO make II provide sufficient
funds for this purpose. The Mayor-elect
said he had chosen all the members of his
Cabinet except the Director Of the Transit
Department, and all the Assistant Di-
rectors, except in that department,
No one except himself knows the per-
sonnel Of his cabinet, Mr.. Smith said, and
in reply to n question he added that the
Wares had not tried to affect his choicei
they had not interfered in any way. He
had man in mind for the transit
dictatorship, but he said he was not
worrying about that and might leave the
question an open one for some time.
Mr.. Smith said he might announce his
cabinet choices at any time, but he would
announce them oil together. One mad
had delayed him because he could not
make up his mind whether he could de-
vote all his time to the city. upon which
tho Mayor. elect insisted, and finally this
man had suid he would devote his entire
attention to municipal affairs. Whether
this man wns one OF those already ap-
pointed or whether he was a tentative
choice for Transit Director he would not
say
1t was said by one close to the Mayor
elect however, that on his visit to New
York Yesterday he had conferred with
William s, Twining, and II Is believed he
has a good chance of getting the post.
Mr.. Twinng II consulting engineer for
Ford, Bacon & Davis, firm that has
done work for Director Taylor: and Mr.
Twinlng is thoroughly familiar with the
Taylor transit plan.
Mr.. Smith ana state Senator McNichol
both made statements about the proposed
loan. Senator McNichol said
Every one Is Eratihcd that great pub
lie progress is not possible after 1t has
been so long delayed"
There he stopped short. Mr.. Smith snid:
I'm going over the items included in
the lonn | was sorry to see that there is
n big cut In the amount originally con-
tcmplated for the Parkway. There should
be enough to complete IT, will ask them
10 change il, so as 10 provide sufficient
money TO complete the Parkway"
In regard to the assistant directors he
said:
"'rhe assistant directors quit automat-
iCally when the directors go out of Of
flee, and see no reason why | should
not announce their appointments at the
sameG time that l announce the Dl-
rectors."
Wcl-informcd Organization mon said
that Ernest l.. Tustn, a Penrose- Nc
Nichol candidate for Director OF Public
Safety. would not receive that post.
The Mayor-elect will not announce the
appointment of his private secretary for
two or three weeks. Robert Grier, who
was secretary to Mayor Weaver. is con-
sIfssred n strong possibility.

All day the testimony was by public ac-

The witnesses were Elmer Il, Moses, who
examined the books OF the Fruit Dispatch

Blueheld Steamship Company
When the witnesses answers In de-
