NO CIPHER TELEGRAMS

By the terms of the law of 1898 telegrT ms or cablegrams in cipher cannot be sent in Honduras, except in the case of diplomatic or consular representatives, or when the sender has filed a copy of his code with the telegraph officials or indicated what code is being used when it is T standard code. For many years this law was not regarded, but recently it has again been put into effect and is effective at the present time. Ca blegrams are sent from Honduras via Salvador. In case of wire trouble between here and Salvador. or trouble with the cable firm there, as has hap pened, Honduras is sometimes cut off for a day or two.

"The strangling of China by Japan under the circumstances and in the manner in which she is doing it, is the most striking exhibition of inter national recklessness and audacity the modern world has witnessed" i" says L. R. Wilfey, former judge of the United States court for China and an authority on far eastern prob lems. "If she carries through her program as planned she will unsettle completely the equilibrium of the far east, and will lay the foundation for a second world war in the not far distant future"

Most of Baltimore Hotel Space
Already Taken by the Dele
oates to Convention.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.-With the
hotel accomm odations in Baltimore
already practically sold out, the Elks'
reunion convention committee today
started a campaign to get the names
OF all boarding houses that will be
able to house or feed the delegates
during the convention, which opens
on July 10.
The Belvedere hotel has been sign
cd up as the headquarters OF the con-
vention. The Boston lodge has bought
up all available room at this hotel.
The New York lodge has contracted
for accommodations for 400 ut the
Emerson hotel, sixty-nine rooms
were taken at the Hotel Herman yes
terday by the Trenton, IN. J.) lodge.
Scranton lodge has signed up for 800
rooms at the Rcnnert. and the Hotel
oyce has sold out all the rooms II
desires to give to the convention
crowds.
Accommodations Problem.
So the committee is facing the
problem of most of the hotel space
being taken with only half dozen
of the eastern lodges accommodated.
Whore they are to put the .big con-
tingents from the South, Middle West
and Pacific coast is proving one of
the big problems OF the day.
Another phase of the work that
is going rapidly ahead at present is
that connected with the musical end
OF the convention. Already twelve
OF the local bands have been en-
gagged. and the chances are that a
great many more will DO needed.
! Some OF the lodges carry their own
bands, but the majority do not. The
committee is sending letters to each
lodge asking their needs in this ana
other directions and will try TO ar
range any desired contracts with the
local people.
The first big banner advertising
the convention is being placed at
Light and Baltimore streets today and
another will soon be suspended
/ across Baltimore street at Howard.

sisted that the special inspector had
been premature in going aboard the
ship and SELLING the diamonds from
the captain; that goods Of any kind
to be smuggled must first be landed
and taken out Of the custody Of tho
Government.
This view was argued at length by
eminent counsel for the prisoner, one
Of whom was a United States Senator.
After much elaboration tho court
handed down an opinion in favor of
keck. He Won by a vote Of five to
four. Later an Acknowledgement Of
the United States gave a decision de-
nning smuggling to be the actual
passage Of dutiable goods through the
lines Of the Custom House without
paying or securing duty"
Customs officials were much cha
grined over the result in this case. They
seemed to think 1t made smuggling
easy. They cOntended that once a sus-
pect left the wharf 1t was difficult,
u not impossible. to prove him guilty
OF violating the law. Congress subse-
auently passed an act providing pun
ishment for "unentered goods" It vas
also made clear that violation Of the
enu laws In any way was akin to
smuggling.

There were five compartments In the
belt, all carefully sewed by hand. and
each II containing "A particular kind
OF stone. There were fifteen hundred
diamonds in all, making Leinkram the
richest man on board the Kronprinz
Wiheim-not excepting Prince Henry.
He had an able lawyer who made
the plea that the charge of smuggling
could no stand as he had not left the
wharf and therefore the belief that he
did not intend to a duty on the if-
teen bundre diamonds was mere con-
lecture. But he was found guilty and
sentenced to the penitentiary.
1t is conceded that the greater part
OF the diamond smuggling into this
country Is across the Mexican and
Canadian borders. One OF the offenders

e about his work in a way that
was not calculated to excite the at
tention Of the passenger. Schmid-
heiser looked and acted like a stage
German. and after his belongings had
been examined wanted to know where
he could find an expressman to send
them to his lodgings.
The customs officer, seeing in this
a reasonable excuse for OBTAINING his
man for a while. invited him into his
office. saying that he would secure a
wagon for him. Once inside the agent
began to question the German about
himself and his friends. During the
conversation he pulled a cigar from
his pocket and lighted 1t. at the same

BE careful with it," cautioned the
German.
without a word Of warning the officer
emptied the tobacco from the big bowl
OF Inc pipe o n a fiat top desk by bis

Leinkram case. Michael Leinkram
came to this country on the Kronprinz
Wilhelm on the crossing that brought
Prince Henry of Germany here. He
thought, naturally enough. that in the
fuss that would inevitably be made
over the landing Of the brother Of EN-
peror William a modest person like
himself would escape attention.
But he was mistaken. In the eyes
Of a certain agent OF the Treasury
Michael Leinkram was more important
than ne German Prince who was to
be the guest of the nation.

said 1t contained nothing dutiable. It
didn't. And for that reason he rwas
told that he would have to return TO
