coMMANDEgR NEUTRAL SHIPS.
Government to Seize Vessels Now Be-
ing Built in America.

| Washington, June 25.--The govern
ment will begin next week to COM
mandeer neutral ships now under con-
| struction in American yards. About
| 100000 tons will be obtained in this
way
The federal shipping board will do
| the work
The question of taking over private
American vessels now on the ways has
not been settled yet, but is regarded as
the next natural step. Chairman VIII
liam Denman of the board. in making
this announcement last night, declared
that the building of ships thus com
Wandered will be greatly speeded UP
by the government
The present contractors will be paid
fair price for their title, covering
every cent they have spent on the yes
sells. The government will then make
a new contract with the shipbulder,
who will be furnished steel at govern
ment prices and will be required to
double or treble his labor or work the
men overtime to cope with submarine
destruction of shipping.
Coincidentally it was learned au-
thoritatively that congress shortly may
be asked to confer authority on some
government agency to fix ocean freight
rates.
At the same time it was further
stated that the Administered ton has in
mind formation of another corporation
similar to the emergency fleet corpora
ton, to have sole direction of the OPP
grafton of the emergency fleet corpora
ton, The present corporation will only
concern itself with construction under
the plan.
Up to now all efforts to untangle the
ship program troubles have failed.
There is a deadlock on the question
of steel prices. brought to the fore
when Chairman Denman declined to
sanction estimates George w. Goethals
has made.

DRY FORCES AND FEDERAL OFF
GALS EXPECT BooTLEGGlNG
TO CONTINUE.
MUCH OFFICIAL ACTIVITY
PROBABLY NECESSARY
Border Cities Especially May Give
Trouble to Law Enforcing Depart
rents Of State and Nation Because
of Easy Access to Wet States-New
Laws in Effect July I.

Sioux City, June 25.-"Little grains
of sand, make just what city, state
| and federal officials here believe will
be made out Of Sioux City because OF
the fact that drastic anti-liquor laws
from congress and surrounding state
governments go into effect July /. An
immediate dropping off of bootleggerS
is not expected, but in the course OF
three months, when the present supply
will have been exhausted, a drought
the like of which has never been ex-
perienced here, will set in.
New laws will press Milton Perry
Smith, deputy United States marshal
here, into service against John Barley
corn. The law which prohibits inter-
state transportation Of liquors in COM
mon carriers is expected to add a Iona
list Of offenders in his department.
LAS for the federal laws said Smith,
"a rigid enforcement can be looked for
The favorable situation of Sioux City
for interstate traffic will probably
keep things humming here until those
inclined to be bootleggers find that the
government can not be tempered with.
The state law makes the possession
Of liquor in any quantity for any pur-
pose a crime. C. N. Mcmillan, super:
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League
believes that even this law will not
shut off offenders entirely.
There undoubtedly will be some
bootlegging after July H.. said Nj.
Mcmillan. "Eut the character Of the
laws will not withdraw the efforts OF
the Anti-Saloon League, and we ex-
pect to be- in business for some time.
I believe, however, that when the law
has had a chance to show its work.
that the amount Of liquor In Sioux
City will be reduced to a minimum.
Until it is. we will continue the work
against liquor. and when that becomes
slack, prostitution will be the target"
That the federal interstate transpor-
tation law might change the character
of the league work, is the assertion OF
Mcmillan. It will cooperate with the
United States marshal Just as 1t has
with the police department.
When it became apparent that the
laws themselves would tend to de-
crease the amount Of liquor here, the
question Of whether the Anti-Salooh
League would continue was raised.
Chief Hawman stepped tn. and asked
that it continue as an aid to the deA
partment Liberal contributors were
also instrum entail in the decision OF
the board Of directors.
The position OF man with a thirst
after July will be this: If successful
in smuggling liquor across the state
border, or IL successful in finding
someone who has defied the laws to
sell liquor, and he is found with even
one little drink in his possession, Sit
ting at his table, or in the act of
drinking, he can be charged with a
crime as we'll as the man who sold 1t
to him.

The state department, at the instance
of the authorities of New York state,
cabled to the American embassy in
Rome to ask the italian government to
cause the arrest and surrender TO
America of Alfred Cocchi, indicted in
New York for the murder Of Ruth
Cruger Cocchi has been traced to
Bologna, Italy, and was reported to be
under arrest.
Complications are possible in the
Cocchi case on account Of the provision
in the Italian constitution forbidding
the extradition from Italy of Italian
subjects accused of committing crimes
in foreign countries where the punish
ment Is death, but the war may affect
tho attitude of the Italian government
in the matter Italy and the United
States are now allies, engaged in a

it Is believed in Washington that Italy
may consent to the extradition OF
Cocchi as an act Of grace.

Charles stanton, who has recovered
many bodies from the Iowa river here,
discovered Lahey's body lying against
a tree, fifty or sixty feet down stream
from the treacherous bend, where the
BOYS had drowned. Stanton dived and
located the body, and then Owed again

Dillon'S body was found by r. +.

Commission Merchant Says Drop to so

ST. Paul, June 25-Potatoes selling
a. less than 90 cents a bushel is beyond
the widest dream of most persons, but
John A Tierney, of Tierney & Co..
commission merchants, has announced
that the 81 bushel potato will be SELL
ing for it's former humble price and
may go as low as 10 cents a bushel
when the crop is harvested, and gives
the following reasons for his opinion:
Everyone planted potatoes and there
is every indication that the harvest
this year will produce an over supply.
Two years ago. when the market was
flooded, potatoes were sold in car lad
lots for cents.
The allied countries have made spe-
cial effort to raise large crops and
there is every reason to believe that
the return will fulfill the hope of a
bumper crop. There have been millions
killed in Europe and millions of others
wounded The wounded will not care to
eat as much as we'll persons, and the
millions killed will not have to be fed
