Prohibition Law Upheld.

The Supreme Court passed upon two contested sections of the Statewide prohibition act, upholding in each case their constitutionality.
 The law was attacked because a corporation, for violations of the law, could not be punished, in that the of fense is classed as a felony and can be punished only by one-year peni- tentiary sentence. Secondly, because the law fixed the punishment and left so decision with the judge or jury and that it denied the right for a judge to suspend sentence.
 All the contentious were overruled by the Supreme Court.

MILITARY COMMITTEE ADOPTS HOUSE RESOLUTION-TWO

Committee Eliminates $1,o0o,ooo Ap- propriation Fer Relief of Dependents of Guardsmen, Holding Single Men

Washington.-A favorable report on the House resolution authorizing the president to draft immdiately into the federal service national guardsmen willing to take the prescribed oath was ordered by the Senate military committee after lit had stricken out a section appropri iating S1,OOO,00O for the relief of dependents of guardsmen and another limiting the term of ser vice to three years.
 A substitute adopted for the relief provision would direct the guardsmen with dependents having no means of support be discharged.
 As reported by the committee, the measure otherwise stands as it origi- nally Was reported to the House, with the House a1.endment declaring that an emergency now exists calling Tor the use of troops (,gohper than regulars, instead of leavint awe awe question to be determined by tb ave 9ident Service of guardsmen tsonn the federal army is limited 1t ,s .period of tthe emergency. hat 4I 4.

CLAIM GERMANS
 NOTED MEXICANS
WASHINGTON ADVISED THEY HAD HAND IN TROUBLE-PROP-
 ERTY NOT MOlESTED.

Washington. - Advices received here from Mexico allege that the Ger man representative there have en- couraged Gen. Carranza and the off cers of the de facto government in their opposition to United States troops remaining in that country
 The reports further declare that German citizens in Mexico are being treated with great consideration, their property not being molested. Some Americans have taken advan. tage of the favors accorded German subjects by placing their property in the hands of German friends upon leaving Mexico
 This information was disclosed by a competent authority in connection with information concerning the ac tivity in Mexican affairs of Capt Franz Yon Rintelen, now under indictment il New York for conspiracy to foment strikes in American ammunition plants, and under arrest in England
 Won Rintelen is known by the au thority mentioned, as well as by gov ernment officials, to have been most active in Mexican affairs. His activi ties began at the time Villa and Car ranza were at odds and when Huerta went to the border to direct plot tC gain control of the government Vor Rlntelen was described as having beer prompted by three motives in en l deavoring to stir up trouble between the United States and Mexico, al l though primarily his activities were said to have been directed against th'
 entente allies and not against tn l United States.

me Arkansas Railroad Commiss,or held an adjourned meeting ;n 4I1 courthouse in Blytheville in answer 'o monster petition asking that three railroads be compelled to eroot union passenger station in pIv+bo vile. 1'iy tiie'
 The meeting was held in the c,r cut court room, Judge Driver bavinr adjourned circuit court in order to an, commodate the large crowd which could not be gotten into the chm. rooms. It was the largest outproring ol cltlzens on similar proposition ever held in this city, although several meetings for a similar purpose mas been held in the past five years The commissioners heard the rail. road representatives in their arg1. ments against building, which Were stated by Superintendent Hutchinson or the Frisco, Superintendent Richards or the Cotton Belt and c. A. Cunning, | nam TOT the Jonesboro, Lake City S, Eastern, all of which were the same arguments used on various other oc, caSions, that the roads were either too poor to build or they were just in the act Of building individual stations when the petition was presented Hon. E. E. Alexander, Judge Driver Judge w. ". Taylor and Rev. Sum. mers spoke for the petitioners and made it plain to the commissioners that fo;' nearly 10 years the railroads have been promising only. They showed that if any of the three roads had done what they had promised. the action at this time would not be nee essary, but as neither a union station nor any other sort had been erected, the time for building some kind of a station had arrived.
 Blytheville has the same depots which it had 10 years ago, when the population was BOP people, while now it is over coco The commissioners were shown about the city in auto- mobiles provided by the Commercial Club and Chamber of Commerce, and entertained at luncheon at the Hotel Glencoe
