DAVENPORT DRIER
NOW THAN ORE
Iowa State Officials Worry Owners OF
Those Places Not Yet Raided by
Remaining i'm the City.
ARE ANXIOUS OVER NEXT MOVE
Inspectors Plan to Try Cases July u,
Fine Defendants. and Then Sc
cure Court Injunctions.

Davenport today is drier than any
time in the history Of the city. With
state inspectors remaining in the city.
a number Of alleged beer parlors not
yet raided have been cleared of all
signs of intoxicating drinks and not
even the squiutiest wink or bribery
scale Will bring forth the juice with a
kick in it,
The result is soft drinks are selling
in large quantities and thirsty Daven-
pOTters who find no comfort in ginger
ale and pop are passengers on the
bridge line cars.
The state inspectors have Daven-
ports goat or the goat OF a part
Of Davenport Offenders not as yet
served with papers tTcmble when the
door OF their places of business opens.
The inspectors have shown no haste
TO prosecute. close up the cases and
get out Of the city. This annoys
those who are fearing a visit from the
inspector as one fears visiting the
dentist
The number to be tried was today
boosted TO 2S There are nine gainst
whom warrants have been sworn and
whose bars have not been raided. Nine
teen owners Of places raided have
been served with warrants also. State
officials are silent as to who the nine
are. Davenport is buzzing with stOr-
les to the effect that more viii be made
defendants
The law in Iowa is strong. Here is
what the state officials plan as near as
could be earned today:
To take change OF venue from
Justice KinkeHs court III Bettendorf
TO the courts Of Justices Daum and
Names in Davenport.
To set the cases. in which illicit sale
Of liquor is charged, for July p.
To ask only the minimum fine of
$500 for the first olfense
To start proceedings in district
court to secure injunctiOns restrain
ing the dealers arrested from further
selling intoxicating liquor
To raid houses of ill-repute. OF
which it is claimed there are at least
so where liquor was sold unrestricted
Injunction Powerful
BY securing an injunction against
the dealer, his second Offense will be
penitentiary sentence. as by selling
liquor ne would violate the restraint
a court has placed on him in crimi-
nal proceedings. Through this method
the state officials viii have an air
tight cinCh on Offenders
Davenport realizes the seriousness
of the raids 1t has thrown a scare in
TO owners Of soft drink pariors and
other places where liquor has been
sold.

features will be available. The large mass of rock at the base of Gold Hill on the east bank is being carefully observed. If the materials behind it move north wardly, as is not unlikely one danger of interruption to navigation will be re- moved.
 ''The other feature is the rate of mo- ton that will result in the west side when the dredges attack it's face. as will shortly be done. It is believed the dredges can keep well ahead of any possible mo- tion in this mass, provided the east bank is quiescent or nearly so.
 "As soon as this office feels that suf- ficient information on these two points is at hand to justify It, a prediction will be
 made. In the meantime it is recom- mended that the canal be not considered in the routing of shipping. The work of the restoration of the canal is, however proceeding most favorably The office has in mind the desire of commerce tC resume navigation through the canal. and as long notice as possible will be given to shippers in order that preparations foi such routing may be adequate" This statement is the result of exhaus tive investigations and studies made by special board, comprising Lieut..

CANNOT REGISTER
 AGAIN UNTIL 1917

Montgomery, January 22-(Special.)
 Persons who did not register between November 15 and January l at the pre- cinct in which they would be allowed to vote or between January l and January 5 at the county seat, if that were their place of residence, will not be given an- ether opportunity to register until two years thereafter according to an ex- haustive opinion of Attorney General William l.. Martin, rendered in response to an inquiry from Governor Henderson. The attorney general in his opinion to ) the governor wrote brief history of the registration law in Alabama since 1S96. He pointed out the various changes
 made in the law, both in the constitution
 of 1901, and by legislative enactment sub- seeuent to the constitutional convention. The new law, according to the attorney
 general, is vastly different from the old statutes. Provision was made in the code of 1907 for registrars to visit each precinct at least once between July l
 and October l. 1908, and each two years thereafter. Provision was made also for general rebistration on Friday and Sat urday preceding municipal elections, and also for the registration of persons hav- ing become 1 years of age since the
 last date of registration.

traditional system is more sharply brought home to our people"
 WICK EPSHAM SPEAKS

At the threshold of consideration of national defense" he said, must be an inquiry into the duty of citizens to render military service to the country in times of peace as we'll as war; In no clear way could we more effectively rid the nation of the incubus of our 'accursed system of bounties and pen sions than by the establishment and maintenance of system of universal military service
 But the practical question now pre- sented to the American people Is not the immediate adoption of such sys- tenn. Our military and naval authori- ties, both civil and military, with the high authority of the President of the War and Navy, have clearly put before the people a statement of our present deficiencies.
 '"The condition of>our coast defense has been sharply put before us by the report of the chief of staff of that service; and we are told that artillery, costing up- ward of $41, 100000 is without a man to protect it; that the old system of relying upon the states for voluntary military support, under the act of Congress, which provides that one-half of the coast ar tillery shall be furnished by the states, has failed, as it always has falled throughout our history to provide us with anything like the stipulated quota or men.
 That law should be repealed, and that other enactment of congressional folly, approved May 27, 190S which provides that the organized militia shall be called into the service of the United States in advance of any volunteer force which it may be necessary to raise, should also be repealed without delay.
 Tt is strange that any intelligent student of the history of our country could oppose the plan of military organ ization which involves placing the sole control and discipline of the forces un- der the federal authority. It seems ln- credible that any responsible member o1 Congress at this day should advocate a continuance of that divided control which in the past has cost the country dearly IT

Judge Thompson instructed the iury that if the two companies mutually formed monopoly to control and re- strain trade, the steamship company. as A willing party was not, under the sher- man act, entitled to redress for damages inflicted by other members of the com bine. The fudge then explained that if the fruit company wilfully had planned and accomplished the ruin of the Blue fields corporation, the latter was entitled to a verdict.

suBsERyIENCE NOT A TRAIT

Had I been compelled to submit my self and my ambition to the self-styled prohibition leaders who so recently brazenly 'hand-picked' a candidate for this high office in Birmingham l would not now be candidate. Subservience and blind obedience have never been my dominant traits. I do not believe in any set of self-styled leaders, be they prohibition or local option, smugly parceling out the offices of this state and having the effrontery to attempt to force their selections down the throats of the free people of Alabama.
 "The people of Alabama will resist hand picking where no moral issue is involved They are intelligent. They will see through the pious veil by which the inside council attempts to hide itself. I misjudge the people or Alabama if they indorse by their pal lots such a procedure.
 My case will rest with the people and not with self-interested behind closed doors pickers."

NATIONAL POLICIES
 CAN BE RESPECTED
 ONLY BY BIG ARMY
General McCOmb, President of War College, Testi- fies Before Senate
 Committee

Washington, January 22.-National poll cies of the United States particularly maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, an onen door in the orient, supremacy in the Pacific and Asiatic exclusion, can be upheld only if backed by force, Brigadier General Montgomery M McComb, presi- dent of the Army War college, told the Senate military committee today. The tradition that entangling alliances should be avoided, he declared, further made it necessary that the United States be pre- pared to fight alone for it's ideals.
 Unless there is force behind these policies," he said, "they will not play an important part in the history of the world"
 APPEARS AT HEARING
 General McComb, who appeared at hearing on the army increase measures suggested that the Monroe doctrine was tending toward development of a Fan American entente which might or might not be a good thing,' but did not alter in his opinion of the urgent need Of nlll- tary preparedness.
 General McComb said the war colege had taken the policies he mentioned as the basis of it's study to formulate
 
 in mind, he added, the college had pro duced it's plan for a regular army or 10000 men with the colors or in reserve within eight years and a continental army of 100000 men in the same time

Among these were lack of proper reserves to supply war wastage' lack of auxiliary arms; inadequate tralii- ing; constantly changing personnel ana lack of uniformity of state military codes.

RESTS WITH PEOPLE

q do, not believe in any act of self styled leaders, be they prohibition or local option, smugly parceling out the offices of the state and having the effrontery to attempt to force their se- lections down the throats of the free people of Alabama" MT. Carnley de- clares My case will rest with the people, and not with self-interested behind closed-doors' pickers," he con- cludes.
 Following is MT. Carnley's statement in full:
 q am going into every section or Alabama and submit to the voters my claim for the position of president Of the labama public service commits sion. I propose to let the voters them selves decide who should be honored with this high office.

 each clinging jealously to certain state rights"
 General McComb differed with recent statement of the adjutant general that 14O,C0O men was the largest force that could be maintained under present en- listment regulations.
 ''He states that it is impossible to re- cruit more men than that" General Me- Comb said. ''but that is only his opinion He doesn't know what he can do beyond that for he has not tried.'
 Judging from his experience as mill tary observer in the Russian-Japanese war. General McComb said, most people utterly miscalculated the amount or training necessary for an infantry soloier' On the infantry, he said depended the final outcome of any fight. He estimated ii would take two years of five hours intensive work day to make what we call a good soldier"

CARNLEY RESENTS HAND PICKED" TACTICS AND SAYS HE IS RUNNING WITH NO MANS COLLAR AROUND NECK


 Montgomery, January 22.-(Special) Had I been compelled to submit my self and my ambition to the self styled prohibition leaders who so re- gently brazenly 'hand-picked can didate for this high office in Birming ham, 1 would not now be a candi- date.'
 This is the declaration of J. A. Carn- ley of Elba in issuing a formal an- nouncement to the voters of the state of his candidacy for president of the Alabama public service commission. MT. Carnley's remarks have reference to Henry P Merritt of Tuskegee, who is also a candidate for president of the commission and who, as will be re- membered, was designated a few days ago by a coterie of friends in Birming- ham as their candidate to make the race.
 MT Carnley asserts in his state ment that he "wears no mans collar that he has been a prohibitionist, but that he does not see where prohibt- tion is an issue in the campaign.

SECURITY LEAGUE VOTES TO INDORSE
 WAR SECRETARY ON
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
(Continued from Page One)

adequate to conserve the national interest in conformity with the following recom- mendations: That the personnel of the navy be increased in conformity with the requirements of the fleet as interpreted by the general board of the navy; that there be established for the navy gen eral staff similar to the general staff of the army, as is customary in all other navies of the world; and that the Ma tional Security league indorses the pro- gramme of July 30, 1915, of the general board of the navy, and urges it's imme- diate adoption by Congress.
 FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR
 That a fundamental factor in the prob- lems of preparedness should be such in- tentive mobilization of the productive, in- dustrial and commercial forces of the United States as would insure in time of war, the contribution of their fullest re- sources at a restricted profit, to be regulated by the government.
 That in view of the fact that the great interest in national defense throughout the coutnry has created a number of local and national organizations aiming to increase the efficiency of our military and naval service, the National Security league immediately endeavor to avoid the overlapping of the effort and energy of these organizations by seeking effective means of unifying and co-ordinating their activities.
 The only vote against the resolution advocating universal military service was cast by William A. Ketcham of Indian apolis, who said he represented the gov ernor of Indiana.
 KETCHAM OBJECTS MT. ketcham objected vigorously when the chairman at first announced that the resolution had been adopted unanimously.
 1 Although officials of the league would not indicate tonight what degree of definiteness had been reached in the negotiations for amalgamation of the defense societies, it was understood that the Navy league and several other bodies already had agreed to come in and that MT. Bacon had promised to accept the presidency of the new or ganization. Extensive plans for com bined campaign for preparedness al ready have been made, it was said, and steps taken toward raising $50,000 fund in New York and one of like amount in Philadelphia for sinking fund
