TO SHIP "WET' GOODS
TO "DRY" TERRITORY

The ruling Of Judge Arnold Of the
District court Of Evanston, Wyo., that
the railroads must accept shipments Of
intoxicants consigned to "dry" terri
tory in Utah means that this state must
exercise increased vigilance in enforc-
ing the Funk law in this state, declared
E. v. Higgins, assistant attorney gen
eral yesterday.
Judge Arnold's ruling followed, it
was announced, recent Interpretation
Of the Webb Kenyon law by the United
States Supreme court. Assistant Attor-
ney General Higgins was asked to COM
ment upon its effect on the Funk law
passed by the last legislature, extend
ing the scope of prosecutions for liquor
shipments to dry territory.
Shipments from Evanston, Wyo., or
other points outside Utah are, of course,
interstate shipments and Utah is pow.
erless to regulate them by legislation
said Mr.. Higgins.
eff it is determined that under the
Webb Kenyon law, interstate shipments
of intoxicants can be made to dry ter
ritory, this state can only be vigilant
in seeing that the liquor is not sold in
the dry territory to which it is con
signed. l understand that Judge Ar
nold's ruling is only as to intoxicants
intended for personal use. This state
can only watch for violations of that
intent.
$50 far as shipments of liquor with
in the state to dry territory in Utah
are concerned, the railroads have lived
up to the spirit as well as to the let
ter of the Funk law. They are assist
ing in its enforcement by declining al
such shipments. 1t remains to be seer

JAPAN TAKES ALL SPACE
ON SUBSIDIZED LINERS
Chinese and Philippine Shipments
Held Up-Chartered Ships
Needed in Pacific.

According to Consul General Ander-
son at Hongkong. the order Of the
Japanese government reserving for
Japanese shippers all. space on ships
operated by the Japanese subsidized
transpacific lines, Is delaying ship
ments to the United States from Chi
nese ports.
All contracts and agreements made
with non-Japanese shippers for space
during June and July have been re-
voked. even steerage passenger space
being taken over for Japanese use.
II is intimated that similar reserva-
lions may be extended to August.
while in the trade there are stories
OF all sorts of Interior. motives on the
part of the interests concerned" said
the report, there is. in fact. no rea-
son to ascribe any other motive than
that given. 1t is of extreme impor-
lance to japanese manufacturers and
exporters that japanese products pass
more freely and promptly to the
United States at this time, and the
japanese government is using the ad-
vantage it has in possessing a large
subsidized merchant marine to serve
the interests of it's producers"
According to Mr.. Anderson, the re-
striction will accentuate the freight
shortage in the Philippine trade. and
will still further delay thousands of
tons of freight now tied up In Hong
kong, Shanghai and south China ports.

DECIDING LEGAL STATUS
OF P0LYGAMOUS CHILD
Mormon Judge CONSTITUTES Utah
Statute Relative to Offspring
of Plural Wives.

OGDEN, Utah. July 14.-That children
born Of plural wives cannot be legally
recognized as heirs unless they have been
acknowledged by the father as his chill
dren, is the construction placed by Judge
James A. Howell on the Utah statutes
affecting polygamy. The opinion was
brought out in his instructions to the jury
considering the case Of Albert Geddes of
Eccles against the David Eccles estate. by
which the sixteen-year-old son Of Mrs.
Margaret Geddes is endeavoring to estab-
lish heirship to the Eccles estate by
claims that David Eccles was his father
by a plural marriage In 1898, and that he
acknowledged him as his son.
Copies Of the instructions were made
public today. having been orally given
to the jury last night. They are to be
presented in writing when arguments are
concluded Thursday. Judge Howell, who
formulated the instructions. Is Mormon.
as are also the plaintiff and defendants in
the suit. The judge instructed the jury
to consider evidence regarding the alleged
plural marriage as affecting the possibility
Of the acknowledgment having been made
This is the first construction Of the status
Of children Of plural marriages since
Utah became a state. The court holds
that the acknowledgment need not be pub
lie. but Is binding, even II made secretly
and con6dentially.

From a STAR Correspondent.

From STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK, July 14.-After a few
hours liberty in this city. the members

ton, the men are anxious to get back
home. They expect grand reception
from relatives and friends when they
arrive in Washington Saturday morn
ing.
With the excitement Of target prac-
tice over. the men are beginning to
think Of getting of the ship. The tar
get work passed OF without any cas-
ualties. Both officers and men always
feel relieved when this very important
part OF the cruise is over. For almost
an entire day the District sailormen
worked like Trojans pumping away at
from the secondary battery of the
kearsarge. 1t is a days work we'll
done for the District gunners. for they
made more actual hits in less time than
the North Carolinians. who won the
target practice trophy last year.
Though the official records have not
been made public, the gossip among the
officers aboard the ship is that the Dis
trict sailors finished very close to the
top Of the list Of the organizations
which fired. The 4th District Divi-
sion. it Is reported. finished first in
hits, the LIST Division second, the I'd
Division third and the Sd Division last
Very little liberty was granted to
either officers and men in this city.
Drills and exercises were Kept up until
o'clock each day. The liberty was
given to half the ships company at a
time during the stay here.
With good steaming the Kearsarge
probably will reach the roads Thurs
day evening, when the men will make
preparations for ,disembarking early
Friday morning after they have been
paid OFF by Paymaster Shamer Of the

Little Comment on American
Reception Of Latest German
Submarine Declaration.
BELIEVE NEWS AGENCIES
COLOR THE DISPATCHES
Berlin Paper Declares Note Showed
Earnest Desire to Meet Justi-
fed U. S. Interests.

BERLIN, July 10. via London July
lf.-The conflicting reports of the re-
ceptlon of Germany's note to the United
states government concerning Germa-
! ny's submarine warfare still keep
majority of the afternoon newspapers
from commenting on it. Exceptions to
the rule are the Kreuz ZeItung, the
Tages Zeftung and the Boersen Zeit-
ung. which express the belief that
British and French news agencies have
purposely selected unfavorable edf-
tortal expressions from the American
they will have in Great Britain and
France.
The Kreuz Zeitung says:
Regarding the reception of the Ger
man note In America several additional
reports from British sources are now at
/! hand. Reuters Telegram Company
presents about dozen short sentences
from from as many American papers. Were
these really approximately a faithful
picture of the thought of the American
press as a unit, we should have to
discard every hope Of possibility of
an understanding. The conception of a
great majority of the German people is
that we showed In our note an earnest
desire to meet as far as possible justi-
| fed American interests"
Sees Little indication Of Crisis.
The Kreus Zeitung then reproduces
tho editorials quoted by Reuter-, but

Of the London Times that there is little

| there is no talk Of war The newspa-

Germany refused to comply with the
American demands. We cannot believe
eminent can have failed to make an

The Boersen Zeitung adds that the
newspapers quoted are all known to

One View Of German "Concessions.
The Tages zeitung declares that
American politicians must appreciate
that the German propositions are prac-
teal, and that Germany, on her own
initiative, has made extraordinary local
concessions. It doubts whether the
United States will throw them away at
the cost of her own neutrality in favor
of what is termed legally, politically
and economically untenab1e position.
The belief is expressed that the Ameri-
can statesmen will appreciate the
anxiety lowering behind the British
press. ministers and legislators, and
that the protest against submarine
warfare is not really a question of
humanity but merely plan to disarm

URGES DEVELOPMENT
Of NATIONAL GUARD
Militia Committee Of the National
Security League Makes
Recommendations.
Opposes Military Training of Public
School Children-Fixes Is as
Lowest Service Age.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE develop
ment of the National Guard to the full
limit of efficiency. making it serve as
an effective school for officers; course
of study in the public schools calling
attention to- the need of public serv
ice; sports and physical drills for
school children; a theoretical training
In the art Of maneuvers as part of
the college curriculum; an official
classification of all those fitted for
military enrolment. and a requirement
OF some military duty from all persons
between eighteen and forty-five years
Of age are among the matters urged
in the report just issued by the militia
committee of the National Security
League. The committee has concluded
its investigation Of the military needs
Of the United States and the best
method of supplying them. in SO far
as they relate to the state militia.
Bar Military Training in Schools.
THE better judgment Of all those
who join in this report, according to
the statement issued by the commit
tee. lis against efforts to give military
instruction to the children of America
in the public schools"
Physical training and manly sports, it
states. should be a prominent feature
Of child education. but the RESPONSE
btlfty OF actual military preparedness
should begin at the age Of eighteen
and continue during military age.
Legislative measures for national de-
Tense should embrace all persons liza
BILE to militia duty, the committee rec
ures; 1t says, should be to prepare
proper material out of which, when re-
quired, a greater army and navy may
the more speedily be created.
Recommends Enrolment.
1.-THE first step toward the accomplish
ment Of the desired object" the report
continues, 'is the enrolment by the
state of all men liable to service. to
the end that every person who relies on
the government for protection should
feel that he owes a duty to that gov
eminent to enable 1t to provide pro-
lection, and that the nature of the ma
terial which is to be nodded into shape
for the emergency Of war may be un-
derstood and the several complex parts
may be fitted to an effective whole.
There is ground for wide divergence
Of views upon the question OF the ex-
tent and scope OF the exactions to be
imposed under such enrolment. A
the best success.
Preliminary Program.
Until public opinion has had time to
formulate a satisfactory way for meet
ing this plan. such enrolled militia can
be given a semblance of organization
and formed into separate nominal COM
mands. Such field service and rife
practice as the state could afford
should be given to those of young
er years annually"
The report is signed by the militia
committee, Of which Col. Charles e.
Lydecker is chairman.
