while under the influence of liquor,
were had yesterday morning in Police

trying to run a motor boat off the

fact that the new law absolutely
prohibits the leaving Of liquor signs
and notices on the abandoned bar
rooms and restaurants.
The law strictly prohibits even as
much as an old newspaper or maga-
zine with a liquor advertisement in
it lying around after November J.
Even signs advertising ''near-beer"
will probably come under the ban as
soon as the department can turn It's
attention TO them. All alcoholic
liquors and deCoctions are affected by
the law against display or advertis-
ing, regardless of the alcoholic con-

The law as it stands makes no pro-

any preparation. 1t does not specify
that a concoction. a liquor or any
beverage shall or shall not contain
n certain percentage Of alcohol.
To find out how far-reaching the
Sheppard law really is, the police
have arrested Morgan c. Chewing, of
1903 Eleventh street southeast, and
required a collateral of 5000. Ser
gcant o. G. Davis made the arrest

This morning Officer Nilsen and
JOY Wethe addressed the Normal stu
dents in chapel. A report from hat
institution this afternoon indicates
that there is considerable enthusiasm
and discussions are taking place as to
the desirability of the navy. DIT
Heston introduced the speakers. and
talked favorably along lines of bene-
fit of training and discipline.
When the machinery for getting
men is in good running order it is
purposed go have every man in each
community between the limits Of age
as fixed by the government, register
with the postmaster Oh some officer
at the postoffice detailed for that
purpose. From those so registered
men will be selected for the service.
This may not come until the necessity
for additional men arises, or it may
come at one il the country does not
produce men voluntarily.
Mr.. Nilsen promises as great sue
cesses i'm the government service as
i'm any other walk of life. His own
life is an example. He came to this
country as a young man from Nor
four years ago. 1t is supposed that
he was just as much OF a hell-rOareI
as most young men away from home
with uniforms and money-and no
responsibility. And he was handicap
ped with strange language, and no
more education than the common
schools afforded. with steady pur-
pose. however. he kept his face look
ing upward, and determined to fol
low the sea to which the Norsemeu
go so naturally. From the common
seaman he forged toward the top. and
is now a companion officer of the
man in charge of the ship.
