RENDERS OPINION ON
 BONE DRYn LAW

Attorney General John D.. Arbuckle has rendered the fol- l lowing opinion on the "bone dry law recently passed by the leg i islature::
 @Section 1 of this act provides: l That it shall be unlawful for any rail- road company, express company, or other common carrier, or any officer, agent or employe of any of them, or any other person to ship or to trans port into, or deliver in this state in any manner or by any means whatso- ever, ny alcoholic. vinuous, malt, spif= ever, any fermented liquors, or any compound or preparation commonly called tonic, bitters or medieated liq- uors from any other state, territory or district of the United States, or from any foreign country, to any per- son, firm or corporation within this state, when said liquors, or any If them, are intended by any person in- terested therein, to be received. possessed or sold, or iR any manner used except as provided in section IT,
 "You will note from the reading of this section that the only exception is set out in section IT of the same bill, which reads as follows:
 That nothing in this act shall make it unlawful (f) For any priest or minister of any religious denomina- ] tion or sect to order and have shipped and delivered wine for saeramentsl purposes; nor for any common cat rier, corporation or person to ship, transport. carry or deliver wine fer said purposes to any priest or minis ] ter of any religious denomination or sect.
 '(2) For any person, firm or in- stitution to have shipped and have de- l livered alchol for strictly medical or mechanical purposes; but records shall l be kept by the carrier or delivering party of all such wines for sentimental purposes, and all such alcohol, and statement thereof shall be filed with 1 the clerk of the Circuit Court within 10 1 days after such delivery
 There is no question from the read ing of section 1 and from the reading of the exceptions set out in section IT but what it was the intention of the l Legislature to absolutely prevent the 1 importation of intoxicating liquors ex- eept for sacremental, medicinal and mechanical purposes.
 Nowhere does there seem to be any ] exception or provision in this bill which would allow a man to go to another state or another place in this state and bring back intoxicating liquors in any quantity except when such intoxicating liquors are to be used for saeramental medical or mechanical purposes"

HISTORY OF THE CASE

The water works and sewer age districts were organized in the city last March and Com- missioners appointed to proceed with the work, of installing a system for the city.
 In opposition to this certain tax payers, contending that the city did not have the signatures of a majority of the owners of real property within the im- provement districts to entitle them to make the improvement, filled an injunction suit to re- strain the Commissioners from proceeding with the work. This suit was filed in the month of July, 1916, in Hot Spring County Chancery Court.
 On December 4, the case was tried in this city, before Chancel- Ter Henderson, who upheld the petitions.
 In rendering the decision in opposition to the Commissioners the Chancery Court decided that the petition lacked $5,502.50 of having a majority of the valua- tion of real property in the dis tricts, and in part, based his ruling on the following points:
 That person who acquires property by descent, is not cap able of signing; because he has no deed of Record.
 That guardians, even where sanctioned by the Probate Court, could not sign for these improve ments, for their wards.
 That porperty owners, who failed to have their deeds re corded at the time, the City Council passed on said petition, or since, could not be counted in favor of the improvements.
 These were the principal ques. tions in the decision of the case
 From this decision the city and Commissioners, appealed te Supreme Court of Arkansas, ano the decision handed down today Iupholds the city and the Water Works Commissioners, and means that they may proceed with the work.

REPORT ON PAPER
 INVESTIGATION SOON

Washington, Feb 10-Federal investigation on the news print paper situation has uncovered enough evidence to warrant the department of Justice asking indictments of paper manufac- turers for alleged antitrust law violations. A federal grand ju-
 York is taking testi-
 4eternsine if there has
 . criminal conspiracy in re straint of trade.
 The Federal Trade Gommis- sion, which has furnished much of the information on which the department of Justice is taking the steps, announced today that Francis J. Heney of California, has been engaged as a special at torney in the commissions in- quiry into high news print prices and that under his direction the commission will continue it's in- vestigaton.
 The report to congress proba- bly, will be delayed for some days because of the illness of one of the commissioners. It will be an interim report and will cover the efforts of the commission to find a solution for an apparent news print shortage and relief for publishers from almost pro- hibitive prices that have obtain ed for about a year.
 The Trade Commission, it is said, will report that it has found that prices have increased with in the year from 4 to 20 times the advance in production costs. It will say there never has been an actual news print shortage and that manufacturers have helped create a panic among pub fishers by intimating there was one.
Malvern daily record., 1917-02-12

The Water and Sewer Com missioners, who were appointed by the Council, and who had al- ready started on the work, when enjoined, are c. E. Madison, Dr. E. T. Bramlett z I'd Emmett Nunn.
 Under the decision of the Supreme Court, the acts of these Commissioners are legal, and they will at once proceed with the work.
 It is the opinion of the Com missioners, however, that the first step to be taken, is for the City Council to appoint assessors who will immediately begin the work of assessing the district.
 "Of course, the contract will be re-leto said one of the Com- missioners this morning, when asked what procedure would be pursued.
 The Commissioners will im- mediately advertise for bids, and just as soon as received, the new contract will be let, and actual work on the constructoin of the system will be started.

U.S.. WARNED OF

GULF OF MEXICO
More Than Scores of Sub

Bv Associated Pyess

Washington, d. c., April 6.-Per-
sistent but heretofore unconfrmed re-
ports of German submarines waiting
in the Gulf of Mexico for the opening
of hostilities on the United States
were further supported to-day by ad-
vices to the government from Europe.
The full nature of the governments
Information is not disclosed but it was
received from one of the neutrals con-
tiguous to Germany which has served
as clearinghouse for German infor-
nation since the severance of diplo-
matte relations.
1t was reported at the source of
origin of the governments informa-
ton that more than a score of Ger
man submarines were already in Mex
tcan waters. Persons here who have
been giving attention to the subject
think the estimate of numbers is high
but feel no doubt that German sub
marines are somewhere on this side of
the Atlantic most probably in Mexican
waters and that some of them have
been here since early in February.
There is no doubt here that If the
U-boats are in, the gulf they are be-
ing supplied from Mexican shore
bases. Those who hold these views
are also convinced that something
closely approaching. the arrangements
proposed by Foreign Minister Zim-
mermann in his celebrated COMMUNE
cation Intended for General Carranza
have been achieved and that the whole
matter. including the supplying of
submarines from Mexican shores was
arranged by Mexican Minister Zubaran
in Berlin.
