De Msoines. Sept. 23.-Attorney Cen
eral Cosson and his assistants were
J today considering the course to adopt
with reference to the action pending in
the federal court at Chicago. in which
the portion OF the Iowa liquor Law
which requires a consignee of liquor to
appear at the freight depot in person
to receive it. is being attacted as in
valid. The attorney general said he
would not be prepared to make a
statement fer a day or two.
1t was said state officials have Sc
rious doubt as to the legality of the
Iowa section in question.
The Iowa law was patterned after
a federal statute which permits a
consiguee to send a drayman, with a
written order. TO the station for liquor
which is for personal use. The officials
say that the Iowa law omitted the sec
ton which permits a consignee to send
a drayman after the booze, but the
statute says that no part of that law
shall BE binding which is in conflict
with the federal law on the same
subject.
Even tho the federal court declares
the section invalid, the law will not
be weakened the officials say. The
authorities Will still! have written
statement of the consignee with details
as to where the booze is to be taken.
Judge Carpenter in the federal court
at Chicago issued an order instucting
the Rock Island road to accept ali
liquor shipments for Iowa points.

Intended for personal use and private

The court has fixed Oct. 81 as the
date for hearing on the application for
permanent Injunction with reference
to the Iowa law.
If the section is declared invalid.
persons who order liquor sent them
Will escape appearing in the transac-
ton in a public way. They can have
the stuff delivered at their homes by
sending a written statement to the ex-
press company or railroad agent, des-
ignaring by name the drayman and the
place the goods will be delivered. !

GERMANS RECONSTRUCT
FINANCIAL SYSTEM OF
PORTION OF BELGIUM

Brussels. Belgium. Sept. 23.-Th
! German administration in Belgium ha'
SO far succeeded in reconstructing the
financial system OF the country that
number of the larger businesses such
as the big factories, coal mines and
banks, which practically came TIC
standstill a year ago, have been arle
/ to resume operations
! The Withdrawal of the directors OF
the National Bank of London In Au-
gust 1914, who took with them its
gold stock and the plates for printine
notes. left the country without a solid
basis for it's currency system. Notes
were in circulation, but there was nc
gold with which to redeem them; and
there was danger that the circulation
might be further expanded thru new
issues Of the Belgian government IN
London. which could easily be snug
gled into the country. Soon after the
occupation of Belgian territory the
German government deputzed DR.. Won
Luinm, one of the most efficient d.
rectors of the Reichs Bank to proceed
to Belgium and take in charge the re-
Mobilization Of the currency system.
AS the officials of the National Bank
had refused to return to Brussels or
restore its assets. 1t became necessary
to find new way of securing the note
circulation.
At the same time the German author
tiles were levying war contributions
upon various Belgian cities to raise
money for meeting the expenses OF
governing the occupied territory-con-
tri5utions which could not easily be
raised in the form of cash. The cities
were therefore asked to issue their
certificates Of Indebtedness payable at
some future time, and it was decided
to use these as one form of security
for new notes. besides bank balances
abroad. German gold and other cur
rency. AS the National Bank had re-
fused to continue the further discharge
of its functions, the note-issuing power
was conferred upon the Societe General
de Belsique the Oldest and largest
banking company OF the country.
This concern has now been serving
for some months as bank of issue, and
culation. Especially its smaller notes
are in great demand, the silver cur
rency having long ago disappeared by
reason of boarding.
Two other important financial tasks
had to be taken in hand. One was
the fixing Of indemnities to be paid for
supplies Of staple goods-like coal and
other raw materials-which had been
taken over by the military authorities
for the armies: the other was the abe
lition of the mora forum which had
been In force since the war began. The
settlement of the indemnities was COM
pIicated by the fact that the goods in
question were in many cases not owned
