WITHOUT WARNING?

Rome, Dec. 19.-American Ambas-
sador Page is gathering evidence
from the % Americans hostlers on
board the carrier steamship, Palermo,

ly off the Spanish coast. This evi.
dence tends to show that the steam
ship was sunk without warning and
without having attempted to escape.

No word has been received at the
office of the adjutant> general relative
to the mastering out of the North
Dakota national guard and the return
of the boys from the border in time
for Christmas. The Associated Press
dispatch in the Tribune Monday from
San Antonio stated that the regiment
would return as soon as transporta"
ton could be secured.
Adjutant General Tharaldson is in
Minneapolis and is not expected to
return for several days. 1t seems
probable that the regiment will be
sent to Fort Smelling and the details
of mastering out the troops taken
care of there.
Every effort will be made to expe-
dite matters so that the boys can re-
turn as soon as possible. 1t seems
hardly likely that the return can be
made by Christmas, but relatives Of
the boys are still living in hopes it
can.
Banquet For Boys.
A. W. Lucas, president of the Bis
marck city commission, today offered
to head the list in the way of con-
tributions for big banquet and grand
ball to be given to the members Of
Co. A upon their mastering out from
border service.
News that the "boys" would be
home to share in Christmas dinners
caused great rejoicing over the Capt.
tai City.
Three big boxes of Christmas goods
had recently been sent to the Bis
marck members of the state regiment.
Other towns in the state. such as
Fargo and Grand Forks,
did likewise. An ambulance is to be
presented to the hospital corps locat'
ed at Lisbon. This will equip it with
modern facilities for use at the regu-
lar maneuvers.
North Dakota's guard, when it de.
parted for the border, had approx
mately $50 men. but the expiration
of the periods of enlistment have re-
duced the number to approximately
600. according to the latest figures
received from Mercedes.
Local officials familiar with militia
affairs state that it will take from
six weeks to two months before the
North Dakota boys can be mustered
out. Each one must be axamined and
formally discharged. -.,s,..... ~. -

BIC VOTE ON
LIQUOR ISSUE
Boston, Dec. 19.-6oston will
remain In the "wet" column by
q majority Of 10000 votes.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 19.-Fair wealth.
er and moderate temperature
brought out an exceptionally heavy
vote today, which will decide the dry
issue for Boston. The vote will be
about 10000. The campaign has been
decidedly bitter. The vote was early,
thousands voting before 8 o'clock.
The betting was to that the city
would remain wet. Billy Sunday has
conducted the campaign to make Bos-
ton dry. A house to house canvas
in the interest of prohibition has been
one of the features.

that the matter was closed % far

is concerned.

El Paso. Texas, Dec. 19.-Upon the
orders of General George Bell, an in.
vestigation whether to discipline $50
Ohio militiamen who protested against
camp conditions was begun today.
The militiamen also protested against
remaining on the border, when they
claimed their presence was not neces-
sary. A mild discipline is probable.
No action will be taken until all the
details have been investigated. 1t
was found today that report that
two of the petitioners were in custody
was unfounded. Signers declared that
the general protest was chiefly
against being held on the border when
it was unnecessary. Neglect by the
medical corps and other officials OF
the militia is alleged in the petition
to have caused death from pneumonia
among guardsmen. A meeting of the
the regiment officers has been called
for late today. Military federal Of
fcers are inclined to regard the Incl
dent lightly.
They said that it is insignificant in
itself and the work of onfy a few
trouble makers. Ohio militia condi
tions are as good as any on the bor-
der, they say. They admit that there
is a general spirit of restlessness, but
not any sign of mutiny.
NOT TRIED YET.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The national
militia system as reorganized has not
been given sufficient trial to warrant
any judgment upon it, Secretary Of
War Baker testified before the mill.

SHORN OF POWER
Board of Appeals Decides
in Favor of Appellant in
Sprinkler Case

By a decision Of the board Of sp-
peals on Thursday last 1t was deter
mined that the authority to require
the installation Of automatic sprinklers,
heretofore exercised by Fire Commits
sioner Adamson, no longer exists, says
the real estate board.
"This decision was rendered in the
case of Lyman Adelstein and Abram
Avrutine, owners of the factory build
ing at SO to Sc Rutgers Slip, who ap-
pealed from an order Of the Fire Com
missioner requiring the installation OF
sprinkler system in their building,
adds the organization. Alexander &.
MacNulty, formerly Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel in charge OF Fire Depart
ment matters, appeared for the appel
lants, in behalf of their counsel, Kan
trowitz & Esberg. Ue contended that
the Fire Commissioners discretionary
power to order the installation OF auto
matte sprinklers, which WAS sustained
by the Court of Appeals in People vs..
Kaye (212 n. Y, 407), had been super
seeded by a subsequently adopted ordi-
nance which required the Commissioner
to make and publish definite rules and
regulations concerning the requirement
of sprinklers and other fire extinguish
ing appliances. ]. o. Hammitt, chief OF
the Bureau of Fire Prevention, who
appeared in behalf Of the Fire Commits
sioner, admitted that no rules and reg
ulations governing sprinkler require
ments had been made and promulgated,
'as required by the new ordinance, be-
cause the Fire Commissioner had not
understood that II was the purpose of
the ordinance TO deprive him Of the dis
cretionary powers hitherto exercised
By him respecting sprinkler installa-
ton. Mr.. MacNulty demonstrated that
under the provisions Of the Lockwood
Ellenbogen bill the rulemaking pow
ers conferred by the ordinance upon
the Fire Commissioner were automat-
ically transferred to the board OF
standards and appeals on October /,
1915, and that as the board had not
as yet made and promulgated regula-
tions concerning the requirement OF
automatic sprinklers the Fire Commits
sioner has no authority at this time 70
issue orders for sprinkler installations.
