that the aim OF the present govern

the restrictions which stripped the
Grand Duchy of the historical rights
conferred upon 1t In 1912. In that
Year Finland became part Of the
Russian Empire. All laws Illegally
imposed upon Finland during the
reigns OF Alexander III. and Nicholas
ii. are declared void.
Russian members OF the Finnish
Senate who, contrary 10 the consti-
tutional rights OF the country, had
been appointed by the Imperial Gov
ernment instead Of being elected by the
Finnish Parliament, have been removed

according to law.
Full self-government. including the
right to initiate legislation, determine

Says Attorney General.

Information was received in Pensa-

mans held IN the county Jail hear
ing before him in Washington. but
stated that any papers. or Informal
ton could be filed with him, either
directly or through attorneys.
The hearing, it is stated, was de-
MED on the ground that no alien enc
mics detained by the government are
allowed to go to Washington to plead
their cases, but must remain in con-
tinement until ordered released by the
authority which directed their arrest.
To the request that the prisoners be
allowed to go to the San Carlos hotter

at their own expense, the Attorney
General answered in the negative,
stating that the original orders would
not be changed,
AS soon as Messrs Lutz, Kulen-

MILITARY MEN
SEN fenced
EIGHT SOLDIERS AND ONE SAIL
OR CONVICTED IN COURT Or
RECORD; SENTENCED AND
GIVEN TO AUTHORITIES.

Eight soldiers who were shown to
have engaged in the disorders or
Wednesday night, were given a hear
ing in the recorders court yesterday
morning. In the absence of the re-
corder, court was conducted by Re-
corder Pro Tenn Mcclellan, and six of
the artillerymen were fined $25 and
costs each; one, whose name was
Moore, and who it was shown lad
welded a dangerous billie, was fined
$50 and costs, while another named
Halfaker, who was disarmed by ar
resting officers, and from whom a
bllne was taken, was fined 500.
Major Hughes, commanding the
garrison here, attended in person
the hearing and was deeply interest
ed as the officers and other wit
nesses furnished evidence. Three
negroes, all of whom had been
handled rather roughly, testified, and
another witness, captain of a fishing
smack, who was on the street, and
who was struck on the head by one
of the soldiers, all were positive in
their Identification of the men.
When Major Hughes announced
that the court record would be used
against the soldiers in the military
court which would be Immediately
formed, and when he stated that the
evidence was conclusive as to the
participation of every man arrested,
the sentences were suspended and
the soldiers were turned over to the
commandant. A guard later showed
up and returned the enlisted men to
the post. 1t is expected the court
will at once investigate the disorder
A bluejacket named Wilcox, who it
was shown was active in trying to
promote trouble, was also fined SIS.
He is from the aero station, and will
this morning be turned over to the
naval authorities.
A soldier named McLane was seri-
ously injured by being belabored on
the head by some instrument, and a
negro named Vickers showed up at
the station with a bad wound on the
forehead which he says had been in
flicted by one of the soldiers. An
other negro named Brown suffered a
broken nose during the melee, and
was otherwise so seriously hurt that
he was unable to attend the prosecu-
ton.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS IT
IS UNLAWFUL TO SELL INTOX-

ZONE.

Official construction on the status
of the armory hall when Company I
occupied it August 5, was received
from Attorney General Gregory yes
terday, confirming the decision Of
District Attorney Neeley that as long
as the militia company remained
therein, the armory was a camp, and
as such. was subject to regulations
of camps.
Not only does this throw a barred
zone for aliens for a half mile around
the armory, but the sale of liquor
within q half yaiie is prohibited, and
the. existence of houses of prostitu-
ton within five miles is prohibited.
These regulations were imposed by
proclamation of the president, in ac-
cordance with powers vested in him
by congress, and under the ruling of
the attorney general will be in full
force and eject around the armogy

LEAF VALET WANTS
TO SETTLE HERE

Information concerning the posi-
bilities of establishing q preparing
plant for magnolia leaves for florists
use is requested in a letter received
yesterday by Secretary James F.
Phillips, of the Chamber of Com
merce, from D. S. Anderson, of Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
Mr.. Anderson states in his letter
that he would like to have inforna-
tion regarding the supply of magnolia
leaves available around Pensacola,
and if quantities from the surround
ing country could be shipped to PEN
sacola for four cents a pound. Med
ium size leaves are wanted, and must
not be over six inches in length.
Il expect to locate a small pre-
pairing plant at some point in the
south, the letter says, ito prepare
natural leaves for florists. I have
been experimenting and working out
a process during the past five years,
and my process, as perfected, pro-
duces a much better grade leaf than
has heretofore been placed on the
market.
These leaves are sold and used
extensively by all wholesale florists
in the leading cities all over the
north, and the demand for even the
inferior leaf has never been supplied.
After getting well started the plant
would require about five thousand
pounds of leaves a week. Gathering
the leaves does not damage the tim
Der, if properly handled
