PROHIBITION WAVE
SPREADING RAPIDLY
Four States Made Dry This
Year and Four Others Will
Vote on Issue.

New York. June "a v by
the Associated Press of legislative &C
tivity this year in the state law making
bodies of the country, most Of which
nave adjourned for the summer, shows
that among the subjects which received
notable attention vas that of the pro-
hibition or the regulation OF the liquor
traffic.
The legislatures OF two states enacted
statutory prohibition to become effec-
tive, this year and eight voted to sub
NIT the question Of statewide pro-
hibition to a referendum Of the people.
OF h latter. two established statutory
prohibition to become effective in the
meantime. -Four states where pro-
hibition is already effective passed ad-
ditional restrictive laws and two Of the
five states. where. under constitutional
amendment, prohibition Is to go into
effect next year, enacted necessary
statutes for its enforcement. In six of
the soCalled wet" states, state-w wide
proposals met defeat. In other ques-
lions of local option, transportation and
licensing were acted upon.
The two states where direct prohi-
bition laws were passed are Florida
and Alabama. Those whose legislatures
voted to submit the question to the
people are Idaho, Iowa, Montana, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Yer
mont and the territory of Alaska. In
Iowa. the legislative resolution, accord
ing to the state constitution. must be
passed by the next succeeding legisla-
ture, before the people can vote on it.
but the state returned TO the statu-
tory prohibition meanwhile. through
the repeal OF the socalled mulct law.
Idaho was also made dry" meanwhile
through statutory enactment. In Utah
the bill was vetoed by the governor
after the legislature adjourned. In
South Carolina, the vote will be taken
at the election this year, in Montana,
South Dakota. Vermont n Alaska in
1916: Idaho in 1917.
It will be thus seen that as a meas
ure of the progress of the cause Of pro-
hibition the Is states already in the
ranks hav this year been enforced by
four and the legislative way cleared for
four others. including Alaska. to join.
In the latter event nearly half the coun-
try will have placed the ban on the
liquor traffic.

LAND GRANT CASE
WON BY RAILROAD
Government Loses Plea to Stop
Sale of $780, 900 Acres
Valued at More Than o,
$4,000, 900.

Washington, June 21.-The govern
ment today lost its suit in the supreme
court to forfeit the unsold portion Of
n Oregon & California railroad land
grant amounting to some $500, 900
acres and valued at more than $50
100000.
The railroad company was enjoined,
however, from future sales in violation
Of the condition Of the grant until con-
gress has reasonable time to act.
The suit was instituted in accordance
with a resolution Of congress in the
federal district court of Oregon on
September 4, 1908. The government
claimed that the railroad has forfeited
its rights by having violated a pro-
vision which required 1t to sell in not
more than $50 acre tracts for not more
than $3.50 an acre, and only to actual
settlers. The government sought to
prove that the company a sold III
large tracts TO timber companies at
more than $3.50 an acre, and had
adopted a policy to sell no more to amp
purchaser for the time being.
The railroad contended that the pro-
vision vas not effective, because the
lands were unfit for settlement, and
furthermore, urged that h govern
ment was stopped from raising the
question of forfeiture because of long
aCquiescence in the company's dfsre-
BdTu OF the SelllnB PROVISION.
About 65 persons who went upon the
lands and claimed to be actual settlers,
within the meaning of the law, brought
q cross complaint, asking that the rail-
road company be held to be a trustee
for actual settlers and be required to
sell to them. Some 5000 persons who
have not gone upon the land to make
settlements but who have applied to
the railroad company to purchase 160
acres interviewed with a petition that
the company be required, as a trustee,
to convey lands to them.
The state Of Oregon interviewed with
the claim that the state levied nearly
half a million dollars taxes a year on
the lands and asked that the lands not
be forfeited to the government, in
which case, the taxes might be lost, but
that the railroad be required to sell
them for the benefit of the government.
The Union Trust company, of New
York. trustee under a mortgage given
on the land 10 secure $20.0 0O, 900 OF
bonds used in building the railroad, al
so interviewed.
Justice McKenna, Of the court, held
the governments action in claiming
the conditions to the grant about sale
were conditions for which a violation
worked a forfeiture was untenable. The
court held the conditions were in the
nature of enforcible covenants" He
said congress would have six months
for action in the case.

PROTEST TO ENGLAND
ON MISUSE OF FLAG
State Department Preparing
New Representations -No
News of U-29 Incident.

Washington, d. c., June 21.-New
representations to Great Britain on
misuse OF the American flag by Brit
ish steamers probably will be made in
the new note which Is being prepared
to deal further with Interruptions to
neutral commerce. It was stated Of
ficially today that as individual COM
plants of such instances had come to
the state department, they had been
laid before the London foreign office,
but that the mex note would again
deal with the subject generally.
At the state department today IL was
said no official information was at
hand on the German charge that the
submarine U-29 was rammed and sunk
by a British steamer flying Swedish
colors. American officials, while not
admitting that the case has a bearing
on the negotiations with Germany, are
curious to know how the German ad-
miralty got its information, inasmuch
as every one on the U-29 was reported
lost.
Later today the German claim re-
specting the U-29 was reported by
Ambassador Gerard. His message, IL
wa said, contained no comment as to
h possible effect on the negotiations
with Germany. The ambassador has
yet been unable to give an indication
Of the probable date of the reply to the
last American note. 1t is assumed
from unofficial reports, however, that
1t may be rent next week. .

WIFE OF JOLIET
WARDEN IS SLAIN
Negro TruSty, Held For InveSti-
cation, Believed to Have
Beat Her and Set
Fire to Bed.

Joliet. ILL.,, June ga negro trusty
4 product Of the honor system
among convicts at Joliet penitentiary,
was held in solitary confinement today
pending investigation Of the murder
Of Mrs. Edmund NJ. Allen, wife of the
prison warden, whose body, fearfully
burned, was found on a blazing bed
in his apartments yesterday. Joseph
Campbell, convicted of killing a negro
in Chicago five years ago and sen
fenced to serve an indeterminate SEN
tence of from one year to life, was
the convict under guard. So. far as is
known, Campbell, chosen as Mrs. AL
lens personal servant under the honor
system, is the last person to have seen
Mrs. Allen alive. Campbell is n of
the five trusted convicts h a ac-
cess to the warden's apartments.
Officials believe Mrs. Allen was
burned to death as she lay uncon-
scious on her bed, as her skull had been
fractured by a blow, which physicians
said had not caused her death. Evil
dence already gathered indicated that
the slayer had sprinkled the bedding
and Mrs. Aliens night clothing with
alcohol before touching a match to it.
Pieces of a jug which had contained
the LIQUID were found scattered on
the bed. The jug had been taken
from a linen closet.
The fire, which practically was con-
fined to the bed, apparently had
burned for several minutes before it
was discovered.
Warden Allen was in West Baden,
Ind, when the murder was committed.
He was to have been Joined by Mrs.
Allen today. Mrs. Allen, before her
marriage five years ago.. was Miss
Odette Mazie Bordeaux, a comic opera
favorite. She was a member of the
original Merry Widow company. She
took an active part in the affairs Of
the prison and her influence did much
towards establishing the honor 'sys-
tenn which placed the penitentiary in
he front rank of modern prisons.
