New York, July 3.-Although union

seven thousand men in five big ship

thousand quit. Demands of the men
were met by one Brooklyn yard, ac-
cording to an business agent of the

trade officials, it was said the cam

One Crime Suggests Another.
Both crimes. so to speak, came out

both instances were aged couples, the

At least one submarine was sunk,

Attorney-General West and
County Solicitor Blount
Differ on Meaning.
COURT HAS CASE
UNDER AMUSEMENT
In Meantime Practically All
Service Clubs Throughout
City Remain Closed.

Acknowledgement Thos. F. West
and County Solicitor William A.
Blount, having submitted different
constructions on the new liquor laws,
it was decided yesterday that the
court should be given an opportunity
to pass upon the question; and Sheriff
Van Pelt during the day effected the
arrest of Jos. Hilliard, charging him
with selling liquor without license
1t was understood that the defendant
should conduct the sales as usual
technically inviting arrest, to serve
the purpose of the proposed test.
The defendant was presented be-
fore Judge c. Moreno Jones in the
court of record, at a o'clock, and
represented by able counsel, the Hill
lard case went on the record. Argu-
ments were submitted by said coun-
sci, with view to convincing the
court that there had been no viola
ton of the new liquor statute, and
authorities in large and varied NUM-
bers were submitted.
Judge Jones heard the arguments
and then announced that he would
take the case under advisement. There
is very little probability of a decision
being rendered today, on account OF
the holiday, but it is expected that
the court will pass on the question
Thursday or Friday.
In the meantime, practically all the
service clubs remain closed up. Many
of the proprietors announce with en-
phasis that they do not continue in
the business. Some who have been in
business for months have arranged to
transfer licenses, providing the court
sustains the contention of the defen.
dant's counsel at last evenings hear

gave some details of the voyage. The
first attack was on June p. The con-
voys used heavy guns on the subma.

torpedo discharges decreased and be-

The second attack was a few days
later when one submarine was sunk.
