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

New York, June GA canvass by
the Associated Press Of legislative ac-
tivity this year in the state law making
bodies Of the country, most Of which
have adjourned for the summer, shows
that among he subjects which received
notable attention was that Of the pro-
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-
hfbition to a referendum Of the people.
ohibttio to become effective in the
meantime. -Four states where pro-
hib1tion is already effective passed ad-
d1t1onal restrictive laws and two Of the
live states. where. under constitutional
amendment, prohibition is to go into
effect next year. enacted necessary
statutes for it's enforcement. In six of
the socalled wet" states, statewide
proposals met defeat. In other cues
lions of local option, transportation and
licensing were acted upon.
The two states where direct prohi-
b1tion 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 and Alaska in
1916; Idaho in 1917.
1t will be thus seen that as a meas
ure Of the progress of the cause OF pro-
hibition the ID states already in the
ranks have this year been enforced by
-four n 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.

BR|TONS RETREAT
UNDER TURK FIRE
Associated Press Correspond
ent Says Invading Army
on GaIIipoIi Is In
Bad Plight.

London. June 22.-The Turkish force
On the Gal1ipoli peninsula took the Of
yensive yesterday and an official an
nouncement from Constantinople says
inflicted heavy losses on the Franco
British left wing. In consequence of
the fire of Turkish artillery, the allies
were compelled to change their posi-
ton. The Turks directed an effective
commandment against the new posi-
lions and silenced the artillery of their
opponents.
h correspondent Of the Associated
Press in the Dardanelles has trans
mitted the following in an undated dis
patch:
British losses at Avi Bernu thus
far are estimated at from 10000 to 49,
300. The Turkish losses are somewhat
lower, although the Turks now are con
stantly on the offensive and they make
bayonet attacks almost every night.
Field Marshal Liman Won Sanders,
the German commander, Is high opti-
mistic regarding the outcome of the
operations. He declared to the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that not
only r the British unable to make
progress. but they are losing ground
daily.
with the British unable to assist in
the and operations because of the sub
marine menace, the British hold on Avi
Bernu apparently is not as severe as it

LAND GRANT CASE
Won BY RAILROAD.
Government Loses Plea to Stop
Sale Of 100000 Acres
Valued at More Than
$5O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, June 22.-The govern
ment today lost It's suit in the supreme
court to forfeit the unsold portion OF
the Oregon s. California railroad land
acres and valued at more than $50
600, 900.
The railroad company was enjoined,
however. II IN future sales In violation
OF the condition Of he's grant until con-
gress has reasonable time to act
The suit was Instituted in accordance
with a resolution Of congress in the
federal district cour OF Oregon on
September 4, 1908. The government
claimed that the railroad has forfeited
Its rights by having violated a pro-
vision which required it to sell in not
more than 100 acre tracts for not more
than $3.50 an acre, and only to actual
settlers. The government sought to
prove that the company had sold In
large tracts to timber companies at
more than $3.50 an acre, n had
adopted a policy to sell nc more to any
purchaser for the time being.
The railroad contended that the pro-
vision was not effective, because the
lands were unfit for settlement, and
furthermore, urged that the govern
ment was stopped from raising the
question of forfeiture because OF LONG
acquiescence In h company's disre-
gard of the selling provision.
About 65 persons who went upon the
lands and claimed to be actual settlers.
within the meaning OF the law, brought
a cross complaint, asking that the rail-
road company be held to be a trustee
for actual settlers n be required to
sell to them. Some 5000 persons who
nave not gone upon the land to make
settlements but who have applied to
the railroad company to purchase 100
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 Trus company, of New
York. trustee under a mortgage given
on the land to secure $40, 000, 900 OF
bonds used in building the railroad, all
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 u~ntenable. The
court held the conditions were in the
nature of enforcible Covenants" He
said congress would have six months
for action In the case.
