 J. s. SAILORS
Inquiry Cabled to Berlin the Foferunner of More
 Vigorous Action
CAUSE OF INDIGNATION
Liberty of Imprisoned Men Demanded in Most En-
 phatic Fashion

Washington, Feb. 13. An in- qulry concerning the re-deten- tion by Germany of the 72 Amer ican seamen brought in by the prize ship Yarrowdale was sent to Berlin today by the United States, preliminary to more wig orouS action if the men are not promptly released.
 The plight of these sailors oc- cupied much of the time at to- days cabinet meeting. given over to the present international crisis. It was agreed that their liberty again should be demand ed in most emphatic fashion. Pending complete reports as to the treatment of German crews on war bound ships in the Phil lippines, Hawaii and elsewhere, however, the government will content itself with the inquiry as to why the Americans are held and under what conditions.

aided by Senators Ponder, God win and Smith. They said that the bill would take the right of discretion from the courts and make granting of a change of venue mandatory where four creditable witnesses made affida- wits that a fair trial could not be obtained.
 Senator Bush charged that corporations had lobbied against the bill. This was warmly de- nied by Senators Alexander and Smith, who said that while men who believed the measure would injure them had spoken to sen- ators about it, they had used only far means and that they were not to be branded as lobbyists, l" Senator Goodwin suggested that the bill be amend ed to give the court the right 10 examine the signers of affidavits for a change of venue to deter mine whether they were compe - tent, even though their charac- ter could not be ilnpeached. Sen- ator Bush refused to consent to more amendments, saying the bill had been held up long enough. Senator Smith sad he supporte d the bill two years ago, but he now believes it a vicious measure.

 There is no question from the reading of section l and from the reading of the eXcep- tions set out in section IF but what it was the intention of the legislature to absolutely prevent the importation of intoxicating liquors except for sacramental, medicinal and mechanical pur- poses.
 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 quan- tity except when such intoxica- ting liquors are to be used fol sacramental, medicinal or me chanical purro 5es.

EXCEPTIONS SPECIFIED
Section r Gives the Only Conditions Under Which
 Can Be Brought In

Nh nerson is permitted to go .o another state or another place in Arkansas and bring back ln- toyicating liquors in any quantity nnless the liquor is to be used for sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes, according to the opinion of Attorney Gen pral John D. Arbuckle on the
 "bone dry law announced yes
 terday.
 The opinion was given in re- sporse to a request from I. G.
 parham of Pine Bluff, prosecu- ting attorney fer the Eleventh
 judicial circuit, who asked for
 the construction of the first sec
 ton of the hone dry act, as to whether it prohibits a person bringing into the state for his
 personal use a reasonable amount of liquor.
 The attorney generals opinion follows:

HOPE AGAIN HAS
 COUNTY RECORDS
County Seat of Hampstead County Moved for Third
 Time in Two Years
ID BE TRIED IN APRIL
The Contest Trial Will Again Be Tried Before a Special
 Judge in the Spring

Attorneys for the residents of Washington in the Hampstead county seat contest case, which has been pending in the courts in Hampstead county since 1914, went before Judge G.'R. Hay nie at Prescott last Friday with a petition asking him to set aside the original order of Judge H. l.. Fishers. declaring Hope the county seat, and ordering the records moved to Hope. Judge Haynie denied the petition and ordered the county officers to re- turn the records to Hope at once.
 His order was put into the hands of Sheriff R. l.. Keel as soon as the attorneys for Hope could reach there, and County Clerk Wash Hutson was tele- phoned the order. Within an hour the county's seals and im- portant records were in the vaults in the temporary court house in Hope, from which they were taken just one month ago by an order of Judge Byers. A large number of wagons and autos were sent at once to Wash ington for the remaining rec ords.
 The Supreme Court handed down decision Monday that Judge Byers had no jurisdiction in the matter and ordered that Judge Haynie's order to return the records to Hope should stand. Everything has been done quiet ly, and for the third time the records of this county have been moved with no trouble. The con test case will be heard again in Citcuit Court at Hope in Apr l and it is said that the case will again go to the Supreme Court.
 In January County Judge By eas ordered the records taken to Washington. and Judge Haynie immediately made an order di- recting their return to Hope and restraining Judge Byers from holding court at Washington, but the Supreme Court decision denied the petition.
 Contestants today argued be- fore Judge Haynie that more than two-thirds of the voters of Hampstead county had petition ed for the removal of the records to Washington, and that 1t was expensive to the county to keep the records at Hope. and asked that the county seat remain at Washington until the removal case is decided in Circuit Court in April. In denying the peti- tion, Judge Haynie said he could not uphold the illegal acts of Judge Byers in disregarding the orders of the Circuit Court. and announced that he would hold Circuit Court at Hope in April. An appeal to the Supreme Court will be taken by the Washington faction from the decision of Judge Haynie today,

OUTLINES WORK
 COMING YEAR
CountyDemonstration Agent Ferguson Tells of New
 Plans for 1917
SOME PRIZES OFFERED
Clhb Lists Are Growing and the Support of Every
 One is Solicited

After pleasant and profitable week attending the State Con- vention of County Agents, we are glad to be back in Nevada to try to put into practical use the many new plans our district and state agents laid out for us for the year of 1917. The state agent kept us at work from 9 a. m. to D. m.
 There are quite a number of new features to the work this year, The plan of organization is new and aims at more definite things. In addition to the old slogan of quantity, we aye to emphasize quality. We are glad to add to the list of specialists one on farm machinery and also one on marketing. We need to learn how to market our product, as how to produce them. One great aim is to get away from.the personal service idea and to dem- onstrate a principle to the people of a community and then take it to some one else.
 The club work has been carried a step in advance of recent years and the State Supt. of Education agrees to give a certificate sig IT, ed by himself, the Governor and others, to those who do work satisfactorily on the basis of quantity, quality. better grade for future use, improvement of soil, report, and examination. In addition they may be permit ted to leave off agriculture in pnblic schools.
 As a result of our letter last week we have received the fol- lowing letter:
 MT. M. C. Ferguson.
 Prescott, Ark.
 My Dear Sir
 We notice in the daily News of yesterday that you desire some cash prizes for the boys and girls clubs for coming season and we wish to advise you that we will hang up with you a first and second prize of $10 and $15 to the boys that deliver the two best dressed pigs to our plant during next Dec, the exact de- tails of the contest to be given to you later. The pigs are to be raised by boys belonging to your Pig Club in Nevada county and under your direction and super vision.
 Yours truly, Prescott Ice X Milling Go. We appreciate this letter and offer very much and hope to hear from others at any early date. The club lists are growing and we wish to have the support of every body in this work. We have enrolled about 150 boys and girls. Send us any amount you may be willing to give as q cash prize from a penny up.
 Yours for more valuable crops and live stock, for more efficient boys and girls.
