TEST ASKED OF
 LAW F0RBlDDING
 INDIAN DRINKING

Matt Carlson was this morning bound over by U. S. Commissioner J. B. Marshall to answer to the grand jury on the charge of selling liquor to a native. Several days ago Carl son was taken into custody by Chief of Police D. J. Sitter who had seen him give liquor to native named Jake Williams, he alleged. At the time of the arrest there was some doubt as to whether or not Carlson could be held on the charge because Williams claimed to have departed from the customs and habits of his native tribe and to have adopted the white mans mode of living The evil dence on this point was not sufficient, and Carlson was caused to appear be- fore the commissioner
 At the preliminary trial Carlson was represented by John c. Held, who has requested that Jake Williams be held to answer and has filed a complaint against him under the re- gently passed Territorial law which holds the native punishable for wrong fully soliciting intoxicating bever- ages. Whether or not a warrant will be issued for the arrest of the native is a question still unsettled, since the only point on which the native party to such a transaction can be held to answer hinges upon whether or not he actually solicited the liquor. While Williams is thought to have accepted the liquor not sufficient proof has so far been brought before the Commis- sioner to establish the fact that he solicited it. The matter will probably be decided tomorrow.
 This case will be watched with con. siderable interest as it is one of the first to come up under the new reg ulation, which has changed the crime from a felony to a misdemeanor and which, under certain circumstances, holds the Indian also answerable.

 District Attorney Smiser had intro duced letter which was cited as the authority to bring the suit and upon an inspection of this document after Mir. Cobb's motion was put Judge Jennings stated CT have no hesitancy at an in saying that this letter does not show authority for bringing this suit, but whether or not authority has got to be shown is a different matter The letter shows no authority at all because tide lands and public lands are two different things and if that is all there is to the letter it does net show anything. But whether or not you have to show anything Is a question in my mind"
 Mir. Smiser then moved that the matter be postponed until the Court had an opportunity to verify the gov ernments allegation that authority has been given and the Court an- nounced a recess until 7:S0 last ev- ening.

JOSS OF AMERICAN LIVES REGRETTED BY BERLIN

AMERICAN HONOR WILL
 BE UPHELD IN ARABIC
 CASE; FACTS AWAITED

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elf 1t is possible to avoid diplomatic break with Germany without sacrificing American dignity, the administration has it's plan of action agreed upon.
 It undoubtedly is true that Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson has decided upon the course he will pursue if he is convinced that Germany meant to be deliberately unfriendly" in tor. pedoing the White Star liner Arabic, with Americans aboard.
 According to the United Press As- sociation. the administration stated on excellent authority as the attitude of the administration today regarding the destruction of the Arabic.
 The Associated Press in early re- ports today declared the United States was "still without detailed in- formation on which to shape it's course in the Arabic incident"
 Secretary Joseph P. Tumulty after @ conference with the President last night, issued statement as follows: "As soon as all the facts regarding the sinking of the Arabic are ascer- tained. our course of action will be determined" No official word from Germany on the Arabic case had been received at the State Department at n o'clock this morning
 The loss of American lives on the Arabic was the editorial subject yes- terday and today, of nearly all the Eastern newspapers. and there was considerable speculation as to what stand the President will make if he learns from Germany that no warn ing was given the Arabic.

GERMANY ASKS COOL
 JUDGMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-count Won Bernstorn, the German ambassador, teIegraphed the State Department to- day requesting that no action be talk en by the American government, re- garding the sinking of the Arabic, pending receipt of the official report from Berlin.
 The text of Won Bernstorh's com munication, was as follows;
 "The German ambassador has re- ceiyed tho following instructions from Berlin: so far no official in- formation is available. concerning the sinking of the Arabic The German government trusts that the American government will not take a definite stand at hearing only the reports of one side, which, in the opinion of the Imperial government, cannot cor respond with the facts. but hopes that the chance will be given to Germany to be heard equally. Although the Imperial government does not doubt the good faith of the witnesses whose statements are reported by newspa- pers in Europe, 1t should be borne in mind that these statements are natur- ally made under excitement which usually produces false impressions. If Americans should actually have lost their lives this would be natural ly contrary to our intentions. The German government would deeply re- gret this, and begs to tender its sin- cerest sympathies to the American government"
