W. J. Creskmore looks the part

morning for the purpose Of appear
ing before Judge John II. Cotteral
in federal district court TO plead to
four charges Of conspiracy and one
charge OF bribery.
Needed Shave.
Late in the morning session. just
before II o'clock, Creekmore en-
tered the courtroom unostentatious-
ly and sat down. He was dressed
in a somber brown suit---and needed
a shave. He occupied most Of his
time in staring at his shoetips.
He was not the debonAir Greek
Of old-the man who for years held

him behind prison bars for his con-
slant and profitable violation Of the

When the case was called Judge
Couerai put off the hearing until
this afternoon.

II is the assumption Of some that
the erstwhile whisky king will plead
guilty TO the five charges against
him In this district and thus wipe
the slate Of his past dealings clean.

ADMITS THE FULL FORCE
OF U. S. CONSTITUTION
Supreme Court Of Porto. Rico Recog-
nizes Sovereignty of American
Government Over Island.

SAN JUAN, P. R., July 16-'i'he ST.
preme court of Porto Rico has handed
down unanimous decision that the Con-
stitution Of the United States exists in
full force in the island; that Porto Rico
is fully incorporated into the United
States: that the fifth amendment applies
historically and legally to the whole
citizenship of the United States, which
forms the people Of the United States !;
that to be citizen is to be part Of the
sovereign power, and that the sovereignty
Of the United States in its objective sense
was extended to Porto Rico by the Paris
treaty. The decision concludes:
I'VE hope that, in it's subjective sense
or as fundamental ruling power, the
sovereignty of the United States has been
extended to Porto Rico by the Jones act
There are distinctions of adults and
mipors. men and women. sane and in
sane. but there are in the United States
no grades of citizenship"
A similar decision by the federal dis
trict court now is on appeal before
the Supreme Court of the United States.
In the Porto Rican federal district
court, on May 81. Judge Peter j. Hamil-
ton ruled in a habras corpus case that
the United States Constitution applied
to Porto Rico and that Indictment by
the grand jury is necessary in felony
cases His decision was opposed by the
attorney general of Porto Rico on the
ground that the Jones act granting cit
izenship omitted the grand jury indict-
ment proviso.

GERMAN ToRPEDoEs DECREASE
Navy League Reports Also They
Have Lost in Speed,

German torpedoes are decreasing in
numbers. and power, according to the
Navy League. The torpedo used today
has lost ten knots in speed. compared
with the one used in the beginning OF
the war, the statement says, and it is
believed that in the rush to supply the
necessary number of torpedoes Ger
many cannot put forth the same effort
as was done before and just after the
war started.
THE U-boat warfare as now being
waged," the statement says further,
was undoubtedly not thought out and
prepared for by Germany before the
war Therefore the stock of torpedoes
was not sufficient for the purpose. The
deficiency has been made up by in
creasing the output of torpedoes. But
with the tremendous land operations
she. has essayed. Germany could not
have devoted a maximum of labor or
materials to the making of torpedoes.
Had she done this, 1t is not doubted
she could have kept up the supply. But
sacrifices in the torpedo supply were
made to satisfy the folly of the crown
prince at Verdun."

Some Merged With Other Gifts.

Where returns were made through
local chapters the funds from postal
employees were generally merged with
those of other civilians, and, therefore,
1t is impossible to make an accurate
statement of the amount which postal
employees have contributed or will
hereafter contribute. 1t is certain, how
ever, that in the aggregate large sum
of money has resulted from the cam
paign conducted by the Postmaster
General. Among the contributions from
various officers are the following:
Augusta. Ga. s1,912; Memphis. Tenn,
S1,3aS; Minneapolis, Mimi, s1.271;
Cleveland. Ohio. $1,000; Indianapolis,
Ind. s1.O52; Baltimore. Md, $1,000;
Dallas. Tex, 5000: Newark. n. j., s771
Portland Ore, $500: Howard, Pa, 1865
Detroit. Mich. $3.50; ST. Paul. Mimi,
$3.50: Scranton. Pa. $500: Nashville
Tenn, $519: Knoxville. Tenn, $500;
Salt Lake, Utah. s332: Milwaukee, Wis.
$149.
Many postal employees have volun-
tarily requested that they be permitted
to subscribe monthly to the Red Cross
cause, and organizations have been
perfected in the postal service to carry
out this plan.
The postmaster at Fort Atkinson,
Wis, reports that in his town. of less
than 5000 inha bitants, more than 1000
members are enrolled.
A number of post offices report that
every employe of the Office is member
of the Red Cross.
At present there is a movement in
Chicago to raise it's membership from
1900 to $50, 900.

Galveston Reciprocates.

The report of the postmaster at CAL
weston. Tex. is of more than passing
interest. On September s, 1900, that
city was overwhelmed by flood caused
by tornado. and it's people have just
cause to know of the quick and eff
cient relief of the Red Cross. Calves
ton has a membership of more than
1900: there are twenty-five working
units. which canvassed the town Flag
day, June IA. with the object of raising
$500 to $4,000 monthly subscriptions.
The local chapter is making up sup
plies for a base hospital of $50 beds:
full supplies of some articles already
are completed. and more than 500 gar
ments and other necessaries will soon
be shipped. Such is the work of a
community which has known disa ster
and appreciated the organization which
rendered speedy relief.
The Post Office Department intends
to continue its work along permanent
lines in the interest of the Red Cross
as long as the war continues, and to
cooperate in every possible way to
make the Red Cross great success.
During Red Cross week a huge lighted
red cross was placed in front Of the
Post Office Department building in
Washington. which emphasized the
campaign then being conducted.

GUARDSMEN GETTING READY
TO ENTER FEDERAL SERVICE
Mobilization of $4,000 Troops Begins in
Eleven States-Constitute
First Increment.

Actual mobilization of $4,000 troops
for muster into federal service began
today in eleven states. They constitute
the first Increment of national
guardsmen called out under the recent
proclamation of the President. They
will be held at their state camps for
several weeks and then will be sent to
mobiliza ton camps in the south. There
they will be given short period or
intensive training for service in France.
The state troops now mobilizing and
the camps to which assigned are:
New York. at Spartanburg, S. c.

The first step in the preparation of
the national guardsmen has been to
send to the armories additional cloth

thing necessary for their trip south to

them at the big camps, reducing the
amount of material to be shipped with
the troops. Supplies for the divisions
are now being concentrated in the de-
pots established in the south to feed
the guard units.
Rapid progress is being made. also. in
relieving guard regiments which have
been in the federal service since the
declaration of war guarding property.
That work will be taken over by civil
ian watchmen, and many states have
already built up the guarding machin-
cry which will free the guard regi-
ments for war duty. Department COM
manders have been authorized to con-
fer with state authorities in this re-
gard and also to abandon the guarding
of any points where they believe it I'M
necessary to employ soldiers at pres
ent.
The most serious shortage of war
equipment for the guard is in artillery.
For training purposes. the gun regi-
mentS undoubtedly will continue to use
the equipment they have, supplemented
by such additional batteries as the
regular service can spare. 1t is re-
garded as practically certain, however.
