NO REFUND ALLOWED
New Mexico Saloonkeepers Are Up
Against a Hard Proposition; Pro-
hibition Effective Oct. 1, 1918;
No Short-Term Licenses,
No Refund

The Prohibition amendment just
voted by the people of New Mexico
becomes effective next October. Cir
cumstances now indicate that in not
few instances it may take effect at
an earlier date. In reply to various
inquiries, Assistant Attorney General
Helmic issues a statement to the eff
feet that there is no authority in the
statutes for short-term licenses, or
for refund in cases where Prohibi-
ton becomes effective before the end
of the license period. The closing
part of his statement is as follows:
The fee provided by law for
liquor licenses is fixed price,
not dependent upon the term of
the license. l believe that Ii
censes may be issued hereafter in
the usual form, but they will, of
course, not be effective after Oc-
tober l, 1918.
In my opinion, there is no att
thority to accept any less amount
than that provided by law from
one who applies for liquor IL
cense; and on all applications
hereafter made, it is my opinion
that the full fee required for the
usual annual license. must be col
1ected.

COLUMBUS SALOONS
Are Drag on the Market; Full Quota
of Licenses Is 433, but
Only 351 Takers

There are now 351 saloons in the
city of Columbus, Ohio. The city is
entitled to 433 under the license law.
This is a drop of 81 below the quota.
Columbus gave a dry majority of 500
in the recent election and lost seven
saloons within two weeks after that
event.
In Ntwark, Ohio, six saloons have
quit business since election. That
city's q2ota is SO and but 4o are now
in operation.

The California Fruit Growers con-
vention which met last week at Sac
ramento passed resolution, unani-
mously, that the saloons of California
should be closed for the period of the
war. The resolution called on Gov
ernor Stephens to convene an extra
session of the Legislature to CLOSE
the predatory saloons which absorb
the earnings of workers and decrease
the efficiency of labor at least rs per
cent in some farming communities of
the state" Governor Stephens is
noted for his patriotism, and he ought
to do as the fruit growers suggest.
Reader, write him letter and ask

In addition, McKewener was fined

KAISER is ADVISED
TO DO AS CAR DID
Members Of His Family Said
TO Favor AbdicatiOn.

ROME, ITALY : The Corriere
o'Italia, the clerical organ, declares
that it is able to confirm reports, pub
lished in the Spanish newspapers, that
the immediate following of the Ger
man emperor is eXerting pressure on
him to abdicate
The paper says that at a recent
meeting of the Hohenzollern family
one member, holder than the rest, in
timated that the emperor might save
the situation by following the example
of the Emperor Nicholas.
The German monarch is reported to
have turned pale and after observing
that the general opinion was against
him left the room muttering: 1--WE
shall see." The same evening he sum-
moned another family council. The
chancellor and some of the ministers
were present, but whatever passed re.
mains unknown.
Little Importance is attached to this
story in Italian political circles. In
these quarters it is thought that the
story has German origin and is put
out with the intention of influencing
opinion.

there was for many years a statute
compelling owners of personal chattels
which had caused the death of a man
to give them TO God. This was accom-

sometimes attains a diameter of 40
feet, according to the Los Angeles
Times. This trunk serves as natural
cistern, retaining rain water in large
quantities in cavity formed at the
top. The Arabs artiicially hollow
out the trunks of large baobabs and
fill them with water during the pre-
valence of rain as provision against
the dry season. These cisterns are in
many cases 20 feet in height and eight
or ten feet in diameter.
