OblumSmugglers
Is Under Arrest
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 11.-Mrs. Sophia
Ghee, known to the police as the
opium queen" was taken from the
steamer Philadelphia which docked
here today and arrested as the guiding
genius of a band of alleged opium
smugglers of whom eleven men have
been detained in New York, Chicago
and San Francisco. The warrant for
her charges conspiracy to smuggle
opium into the United States.
Mrs. Chez, of Austrian parentage
and the wife Of Chow Chez, a Chinese
living IN Liverpool, sailed from New
York on December % for Liverpool. A
day later evidence was found upon
which the warrant was issued. Fed
eral authorities notified Scotland yard,
and when Mrs. Chez reached Liver
pool she was sent back to New York
on the technical grounds that she was
an undesirable alien.
Edwin NJ. Stanton, assistant federal
attorney who arrested her said she was
charged with being the American agent
of a group of opium smugglers with
Headquarters in Liverpool and that
the government was prepared to prove
she was responsible for the distribu-
ton of SIS, 600 worth of opium through
out the United states.

HUNT FOR STEAMER
CARRYING SUPPLIES
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York, Jan. 1i.--How steamer
supposed to be loaded with supplies
for German warships slipped out OF
Port Limon, Costa Rica, where she
was detained. was told today upon the
arrival of the steamer Tenadores. Her
officers said the day before they
reached Port Limon the steamship
Marine Quezed formerly the Norwe-
gian Gladstone. but temporarily under
Costa Rican registry, came into port.
She had cleared from Newport News
on December 16 for Valparaiso, Port
Monte or Victoria, British Columbia.
Port Limon authorities became sus-
picious of the ships arrival at a port
other than one OF those she had
cleared for, and after inspecting her
cargo, seized her papers.
The following day a British cruiser
steamed into the harbor and anchored
close up to the Marine Quezad. In the
darkness that night the merchantmen
slipped out of the Aarbor for an un-
known destination. Officers of the
Tenadores said British cruisers were
now hunting the Marine Quezad.

London PAPERS on
Grey 5 Reply TO
A merican Note
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Jan. 11.-London Afternoon
papers, commenting on Secretary
Greys reply to the American note, are
unanimous in calling attention to Great
Britain's debt of gratitude to the
United States and her desire to repay
it by interfering with American trade
as little as is necessary to secure the
allies safety.
The papers taAe the ground that
the secretary's facts and figures, UNI
less than can be explained or re-
butted, prove that enormous supplies
necessary to prosecution of the war
have reached the enemy under cover
of neutral trade. The Westminster
Gazette says:
a belligerent IL guarding his own
interests. NO obligation rests upon q
neutral to help {. belligerent or to pre-
vent the embarkation of contraband.
We do not wish to throw the slightest
responsibility on the United States,
but in dealing with a friendly neutral
we can in variety of ways consult
his convenience, and the people of the
United States may be assured that WE
will do whatever possible to mitigate
the state of war to them. Closer CO.
operation between the two govern
ments will have good results"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
Foreign Secretary Grey's reply was
just what every Briton will approve
who warmly desires the friendship of
the United States, but who also is de-
termined that no legitimate weapon
shall be sheathed which can be used
to bring the war to a speedy and sue
cessfu1 conclusion"
The Globe expresses the opinion that
Sir Edward Grey's frank and friend
| ~ reply goes in some directions even
further toward meeting the wishes of
! the United States than some of us
think prudent"
The Globe suggests the principal
trouble over contraband has arisen
through the change in the American
practice and the present prohibition
of the publication of ships manifests
until thirty days after vessels have
left American ports. In that connec-
ton the paper says:
IF the consequent detention is in
convenient and injurious to American
trade, the American government has
the remedy in its own hands"

Republican Leader Mann

1t Was Adopted by House
By 23O to go.

BY AssocIArEp ePREss.

! Washington -Ian. m The bill to
prohibit the inter marriage of whites
and negroes in the District of Column
bia was passed by the house today by
a vote of 230 to Co. Representative
Clark of Florida, the author, declared
inter marriage worked harm to both
races. Republican Leader Mann and
Representative Madden, of Illinois, OPP
posed the measure. Madden declared
the bill would "leave many young
girls at the mercy of brutes willing
to take advantage of them and then
leave them to life of shame"
Representative Clark of Florida told
the house today that il the negro has
part in the universe he should have
it as member Of distinctive race,
.'and not as a mongrel"
so far as the white race is con-
cerned," said Mr.. Clark, +the future of
the world is dependent on the pre-
servation of its integrity. The negro
ever since his freedom has made great
progress and no man and no set of
men are more glad of it then are those
of the section represent. Those races
at the capital of the country ought to
work out their own futures under the
laws of the country as best they
can"

would encourage immortality.

RY AssOCIATED PRESS

Columbia, AIN. 11--Governor BleaSe
today disbanded the South Carolina
Organized militia Thirty-ono COM
paniea comprising approximately
three thousand officers and men are
affected. A disagreement between the
governor, the militia and war depart
ment officials on the organization and
equipment of troorA is given as reason
for the action.
The militia officers tonight began
a movement to prevent q complete
disorganization. kilograms were sent
the South Carolina members of con-
gress in Washington asking that they
use their influence to have the wor
department delay asking for the re-
turn of two hundred thousand dollars
worth OF supplies loaned the troops.
Blease will retire week from tomor-
row and Governor Manning, his sue
cessor, will be asked to reinstate the
soldiers. While Manning has not yet
indicated what action he will take,
militia officials consider it certain that
he viii rescind Blease's action.
Adjutant General Moore expects to
leave Washington tomorrow to con-
fer with, war department officials
Governor Biease explained his ac-
ton in the order, stating that the
existence OF differences between the
Secretary of War and the secretary of
the navy and state Adjutant General
Moore, on one side and himself on
the other. prompted him to take this
step. These differences said the chief
executive resulted in serious breaches
OF discipline in the militia corps.
'The present governor of the state
of South Carolina is of the opinion
| that it would be unfair and unjust on
his part to turn over to his successor

5LEAsE AND SECRETARY WAR
HAVE BEEN AT LOGGERHEADS

Washington, Jan. IL. - Governor
Blease and the secretary of war have
long been in a controversy over the Ma
tioal guard of South Carolina and at
one point Secretary Garrison withheld
the federal aid provided by the Dick
law because the departmet contended,
the state troops were not UP to required
efficiency and because the war de-
partment showed losses of govern
government property.
No official comment was forthcom-
ing on the action of Gov. Blease today
but war department officials expect to
see the South Carolina National guard
reorganized after he goes out Of office

T. ]. Hanlon, Jr. Returns
From Boston, Where He
Spent Several Weeks.
GENERAL OUTLOOK
is MUCH Better
Manager of Pensacola Elec-
trio Co. Says That a Spirit
Of Optimism Prevails and
It Is Based On Business
Now Being Done and a
Bright Future.

Thomas j. Hanlon, Jr., manager of
the Pensacola Electric Co. returned to
Pensacola yesterday after several
weeks spent in Boston. New York,
Washington and other cities of the
east and declared that general feel
ing of optimism prevails among the
country and, it is based on a general
trade revival now being experienced
and the bright prospects for the flu
ture Furthermore, he said, a feeling
exists in the east thar the business re-
vival will spread to the south and that
this section will secure its share, either
before, or Immediately after the Eu
ropean war is closed.
Mr.. Han1on was off on his annual
vacation and spent considerable time
in the general offices Of Stone &
Webster in Boston, the firm which
controls the local electric properties
This firm feels confident that Pensa-
cola too, will get it's share of the bust
ness that is bound to develop, and in
stead of feeling discouraged over the
reverses of the past year, believes that
this upheaval over, the city will now
forge ahead.
"All of the mills of the New Eng
land states are busy said Mr.. Han
lon to Journal representative last
night. They are supplying blankets
shoes and equipment for the European
countries at war. as well as supplying
the home consumption of these pro
ducts, and this greatly increased de.
mand for their products is keeping al
of them hard at work.
"A most pleasing indication of gen
eral improved conditions is that none!
is offered at lower rate than before
the war. This is attributed to thu
new banking and currency law en-
acted by congress and which is nov
in operation. Public utility bonds
which could not be sold at any pric'
for many months, are now In good de-
mand, showing that investors, Wh'
were frightened, are again seeking e
put their money into use.
1.-THE railroads, which are a goot
barometer of business conditions" con
tinued Mr.. Hanlon, ARE preparing t.
put out large sums in improvements
The Baltimore & Ohio, 1t is announced
will expend some thirty million dol
lars during the year in constructor
work, while all other roads will pu
more men at work. The recent &c
cision of the commerce commission II
permitting the roads per cent
freight increase, has brought about |
| better feeling, not only ta4 railroad cir
cles. but in every line Of business, ant
the outlook is now quite bright for
