Omitted Pres, Leased Wire,


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 10.

harbors of the United States and
the important coastal points have
been established by order of Pres

zone has been established by the
government extending for a dis
lance of from two to ten miles out
in all directions from the big har-
Dor points.
The regulations covering vessels
entering the forbidden territory
were put into effect week ago
but news of the order was made

delphia-Harry X. Thaw at
tempted suicide in the home of West
Philadelphia family by slashing his
throat and wrists. He was taken to
ST. Mary's hospital. Physicians say
he will be able to leave the hospital
probably in two weeks. DR.. Ellwood
r. Kirby of this city, summoned by
the Thaw family to attend him, said
he felt sure Thaw had not taken poi
son, as had been feared, but admitted
that his condition indicated he might
have taken liquor or drugs.
The patient, under guard Of two de-
tectives and a nurse, has had little to
say since he was brought to the hos
pital, and has not made. any reference
to the charges lodged against him by
New York authorities, who accuse
him of kidnapping and beating Frede'
rik Gump, Jr, of Kansas City.
Captain of Detectives Tate says
that when Thaw is able TO leave the
hospital he will be arraigned on
charge of attempted suicide. Wheth-
er the family will contest efforts OF
the New York authorities to have
Thaw surrendered is not definitely
known. According to detectives in
the employ of the Thaw family the
Gump charges are looked upon as an
attempt at blackmail.

LOVE THRIVES ON EUGENICS
Marriages in Milwaukee Are on the
Increase Despite Law Against
Unfit.

Marriage goes merrily on In Milwau-
kee, regardless of the eugenics law,
says the Sentinel of that city.
Figures in the county clerks Office
show an increase in both 1915 and
1916 over 1914 in the number Of IL
censes issued. The eugenics law, in
operation for three years, has had no
effect upon the celebration of the time
honored nuptials.
II still maintain that the eugenics
law has been of tremendous benefit to
the people of the state" declared Mrs.
G. A. Hipke, sponsor for the law. 1T
is asserted that doctors make only SUI
perfcial tests of men who come to
them for examination before marriage,
but l contend that no conscientious
physician could pass upon a case which
might later bring results that would
reflect upon his earlier judgment"
Mrs. Hipke declared that, while she
had no present intention of agitating
any change in the law she might con-
slider a broadening of the law that
would include the women as we'll as
the men in the prenuptial examination.

form to pay for gasoline used by his
automobile, for salaries Of the man
ayers of business corporations are In
significantly small, says the Japan
Times. Salaries, however, are not the
total income of business men. Under
the Japanese custom there is liberal
bonus system, and the bonus amounts
to 300 or 400 times the monthly salary
I'm some cases.
The Mitsui company is regarded as
the biggest corporation in Japan and
their directors are noted for their
large incomes. Each director is said
TO receive in the form of a bonus
about 100000 a year, although his
salary may be only $3.50 month.

WITH SMALL NUMBER OF
ACCIDENTS REPORTED.
$16,OOO,OOO PROPERTY LOSS
Two Explosions, Followed BY Fire,

Iage In Ruins.

New York.-Four hundred thousand
pounds of powder was destroyed by
fire and explosion at the Haskell, N.
j., plant of the DUPONT Powder COM
pany. Officials of the company de-
clared, after checking up the mem
bers of the night shift at the works,
that only two men were missing.
Twelve others were cut by flying de-
bris, but none Of them was seriously
hurt.
There were two explosions. Build
ings were shaken and windows shat
tered far out on Long Island and up
the Hudson river to Poughkeepsie.
The first explosion was in what is
known as "the glazing barrel" The
fire which resulted spread to the
blending house and from there to
three magazines. The blazing maya
zines set fire to the screening house,
from which the flames leaped across
WanaQue river and consumed three
drying houses, after which they were
checked.
Haskell Is situated in a remote
section of Passaic county and COM
munication with it either by telephone
or telegraph ceased after the first ex-
plosion.
Following so closely upon the heels
Of the destruction of the Kingsland
plant of the Canadian Car & Foundry
company, the explosion threw all
northern New Jersey into panic,
The shock of the explosion was so
great that many persons in New York,
Brooklyn and New Jersey cities, 20
miles fran Haskell, believed there
had been an earthquake.
The conclusion blew tremendous
hole in the side of a mountain, near
which the plant was built.
The plant was kept in operation day
and night, and the night shift was at
work when the magazine blew up.
Every house in the village of Pomp-
ton Lake, more than two miles from
Haskell, was damaged by the explo-
sion.

EXTRA SESSION
EXTRA SESSION OF MISSISSIPPI
ASSEMBLY BEING URGED BY
CITIZENS OF STATE.
TO CHANGE LIQUOR LAWS
Agitation Results From Recent Ruling
of Supreme court-Drastic Meas
ures Similar to West Virginia
Laws Are Desired.

Jackson.-Missis faces an extra
session of it's legislature which may be
called to meet within the next 60 days
by Governor Theo G. Bilbo. The ses-
sion, if called, will be for the purpose
of revising the existing laws prohibit
ing the sale of liquor in this state and
limiting shipments, SO as to prohibit
the shipment of intoxicating drinks
into the state
The recent action of the United
States Supreme Court in declaring the
West Virginia law prohibiting common
carriers bringing liquor into the state
is responsible for desire on the part
of some to have Mississippi go still fur
Their with her drastic whiskey laws.
Governor Bilbo states that he is re-
ceiving kilograms from all sections Of
the state urging that an extra session
be called at once. He states that many
of these kilograms come from legisla-
tors.
The existing "quart-at-a-time" law
was passed at the recent session of the
legislature and at the time 1t was
thought that it was the limit in pre-
ventive and prohibitive measures. But
since that time more enterprising
states have gone so far as to enact
legislation prohibiting liquor shipped
into the state at all. The question
was taken before the Supreme Court
of the United States and but a few
days ago ruling was given which al
lows the states to absolutely control
the common carriers entering and
within their boundaries.
The present laws have not prohibit
ed or prevented liquor in every county
of the state and the call of special
session is taken by some to indicate
that the present laws are in some
senses failure.
The legislature as it exists at pres
ent is largely prohibition and the
chances of passing law prohibiting
liquor being brought into the state at
all are good 1t would take two-thirds
vote to amend the present laws or an
equal vote to cause reaction, as the
governor would veto any measure in
this direction.

of these, but all were alike in having

usually projected in a fantastic curve

bent toward the pole, to which it was

n. C. L. Hits Jailors.

The high cost of living will receive
official recognizance by the MISS
sippi legislature, if the 80 letters d.
rected to the sheriff of each county In
the state by Jailor Ed. Hopper OF Merl
dian bears fruit. In the communica
ton it is pointed out that the statu
tory allowance of 40 cents per day is
wholly inadequate to meet the de-
mands for food for the prisoners
that is, if the prisoners receive proper
food.
Jailor Hopper says that the doubled
cost of everything has made it almost
impossible to give a prisoner suffi'
cient and proper food for the amount
named and he asks the cooperation OF
every sheriff in the state in stormlng
the legislature into a change of the
law.
