ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
 EXCLUDES LIQUOR
Movement In England To Prohibit Sale of Liquor During War ls
 Spreading Fast.

, LONDON, April 2.-King George has promised to do everything Tn his power to advance the prohibition movement in England during the war. The measure is being pressed by Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex- chequer, who recently declared that England had more to fear from the liquor question than from Germany and Austria as the unstinted sale of liquor was seriously interfering with military operations.
 The movement has ben taken up by the ministerial and church associa- tions and thousands of petitions are being circulated to have the sale of liquor prohibited. The liquor inter. ests are fighting the measure, believ- ing that once prohibition goes into effect that it will be maintained even after the war is over
 It is announced that King George will exclude all liquors from the royal and is encouraging the no bility to set a good example to the working classes in favor of prohibit tion.

 New York Officers.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Carmine Carbone, one of the Italians charged with having attempted to blow up Sts Patrick's cathedral in this city or March 1, while 800 persons were wor shipping in the building, created a sensation in court today when he tes tifed that the plot had been matched by the detective who caused his ar. rest.
 Carbone testified that he knew no. thing about the manufacture of bombs or the ingredients necessary until shown by Detective Emilio Poignant. He asserts that the detective after teaching him How to make the bombs threatened his life if he refused to assist them in staging the plot which was to create a sensation and bring promotion to the detectives and po- lice.
 The attorney for the accused Ital. ians claims to have evidence that Pol ignani purchased the. chemicals used in the manufacture of the bomb used in the St. Patrick's cathedral outrage. He has offered to prove to the satis. faction of the court that the mixture of chemicals used in the bombs as serted to have been made by Car bone do not contain the proper in. gradients to cause an explosion even when exposed to fire.
