LIQUOR CASE NOW UP
BEFORE FEDERAL COURT

SAVANNAH, Ca. Feb. 15-The case
of the United States versus $50 pack
ages of liquor is now being aired in
the Federal Court here, Judge Emory
Speer presiding. The defendants and
owners of the liquor are Wiley Will
liams and George Davis, of Fitzgerald.
The case now being argued is on the
rigid of the government to confiscate
the liquor as having been shipped into
the state in violation of the United
States Interstate commerce laws. When
the case originated in May, 1916, there
was no question of the shipment being
in violation of the prohibition law, but
since that time the additional question
has arisen.
The liquor is being held under lock
and key in Macon until final disposi-
ton is made.

RAILROADS CHARGE
EXPORTS At FAULT

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Railroad men
here today declared that the immediate
cause os the existing serious freight
congestion in producing centers of the
South and West is due to the rail
roads policy of refusing shipments OF
export freight to New York, unless
the shipper can prove his cargo has
room engaged on some ocean-going
vessel.
Explaining the necessity for this
policy, the railroad executives direct
attention to thousands of loaded cars
already here, and which it is impos-
sible to unload because of all ware
houses being filed with export mater
ials. The only hope for relief, it ap-
pears, in view Of these statements, is
In the securing of sufficient bottoms
in which to transport waiting freights
from this port OF Europe.

$4,000 TAGS WILL
BE BOUGHT BY 1ST

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 15.-The last
two weeks of this month and the first
week of March are the rush period for
the office of secretary of state. The
1916 automobile license numbers ex
pire with February.
So far only 10000 of the 1871 num-
bers have been issued and 'eonpari-
sons show that the applications are
not coming in beyond the average,
though sales of cars have been heavier
in recent months. On an equal num-
Der with last years record there are
5,711 Fulton county automobiles yet
unregistered for 1917, to which it is es-
timated there will be an addition OF
at least 1000 new cars. The state
generally stands at about the same
showing, the estimate being $4,000 un-
registered cars at this time.
This means, as Secretary Cook has
heretofore pointed out, that a great
rumber of people who have failed to
the last minute to order 1917 numbers
are going to be deprived of the use of
their automobiles for some days dur
ing the rush. His office, however, will
handle the rush as rapidly as posi-
BILE, the capacity being about 1900
numbers a day.

WOMAN WORKER IN
COTTON MILL DEAD

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Feb. 15.-One
woman worker was killed and eight
others injured when supporting wall
g the Fairmont cotton mill, eight
miles from here collapsed this morn
ing. The wall fell into the river, car
rying much valuable machinery with
it and obstructing the stream partial
ly for a time.
The woman killed was Mrs. f. F.
Phillips, and at 2 o'clock this after
noone all of the operatives who's
Whereabouts were unknown, had been
accounted for. Several of those injur-
ed are in serious condition and one
or two may die.
The building was an old brick struc-
ture that had been in use probably
half a century and the catastrophe is
believed to have been the result of
the river undermining its foundations.
Probably a hundred and fifty en-
ployees had reported for the days
work before the collapse, and it is re-
markable that so few sustained injur-
les in the accident

'CHICAG0ANS MOVE TO

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Solution of the
race segration problem, made acute in
recent months by the steady influx OF
southern negroes, is the aim of action
taken today by representatives Of the
owners of $4,000 of the 100000 better
class apartments in Chicago. Segra-
tion statutes, similar to the ones In
force in st. Louis, will be invoked.
1--WE believe the interests of Chi
cago demand that white people shall
not encroach upon the colored or the
colored upon the white" I. o. Oakley.
a member of the committee appointed
to perfect plans for immediate action
said Therefore we strongly urge the
segration of the races.
Action taken recently in st. Louis
has been decreed constitutional by the
Supreme court. 1t is perhaps the
greatest piece of racial legislation
since the fourteenth amendment"
The real estate men have also de-
termined upon May as the date for
general 10 percent increase in all
Chicago rentals.

WILSON GATHERS
FACTS ON MANY
ACTS0F GERMANS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 15.-Al-
though it is still indicated that the
accumulation Of violations of Ameri-
can rights abroad might lead President
Wilson to go before congress at any
time, the statement was made late to-
day that no plan has been made for
taking such step Immediately.
Nothing authoritative has been heard
from the German government regard
ing the injury as to the exact status
of the seventy-two American sailors
taken into Germany aboard the prize
ship Yarrowdale and still held pris-
oners there. The release OF these men
vas demanded by President Wilson
shortly before Won Bernstorff was
given his passports. and before former
Ambassador Gerard left Berlin. the re-
lease Of the sailors was agreed to by
the German foreign Office.
No report regarding the status OF
Americans inTurkey reached the stats
department from Ambassador Mkus to-
day. The United States government.
however, is apparently inclined to
recognize the insistent need for action
designed to effect the release of ships
being held up, reports of accumulat-
ing freights reaching Washington Off
cials regularly.
The sinking of the American schoon-
er Lyman NJ. Law, probably after be-
ing warned is regarded as illegal
here, in as much as the vessels cargo
was not contraband and the submarine
which sank ii displayed no flag.

Germans Order
odd Glo,u'
Down

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 15.--
German authorities have ordered
Brand Whitlock, American minister to
Pelgium, to lower the United States
flag over the American legation at
Brussels, according to official word re-
ceived here. Although official quar-
ters are deeply aroused over the incl
dent, it appears doubtful that there are
any grounds for action therein.
Whhlock, it is stated. is in Belgium
at this time virtually as the repre-
sentative of American relief work only,
the seat of the Belgian government
having been removed to Havre, France,
early in the war.
State department advices late this
afternoon said Whitlock had been re-
quested to lower the United States
flag over the legation headquarters,
hut that no formal order accompanied
the request.
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
American Commission for Relief OF
Belgians, who is here today, discred-
tied Swiss reports that American relief
workers in Belgium are being held as
prisoners by the Germans. Although
the work of the commission may be
interrupted by the order forcing Amer
leans to leave Belgium, Hoover, SAID
he expected no difficulty to be expert
cnced by departing Americans. There
are only forty-three of these American
rclief workers still in that country.

TWO STATES BRDGE
IS OPENED TO-DAY

VANCOUVER, Wash. Feb 15.-In a
din of steamboat whistles, changing
bells and cheers from thousands OF
spectators. the new $1,75O,OOo inter
state bridge between Oregon and
Washington was opened today.
Tht structure is one of the longest
in the world, four miles, including sp-
proaches. 1t spans the Columbia river
between Vancouver and Multnomah
counties. few miles from Portland
When the great central draw was
lowered into place today, a street car
crowded with officials and noted visit
ors, slowly crossed. That was the
signal for an cutburst of noise such as
the old Columbia never heard before.
A procession of flag bedecked automo-
biles followed the car and another long
line of machines started at the same
time from the Washington side. They
passed in the middle.
While the crowd was assembling, an
old, weatherbeaten ferryboat, the City
OF Vancouver" slipped out of its berth
on its last trip across the Columbia.
The bridge had superseded 1t.
Bravely adorned with flags and
bunting, the little craft chugged slowly
under the central span, its funnel
dwarfed by the towering steel frame
work. Its whistle footed hoarse fare
well as it bucked the muddy current
for the last time.
Today's ceremonies will be repeated
more formally in June. At that time
Governor Lister of Washington and
Governor Withycomb of Oregon are to
participate. delegations will come from
the whole northwest, including British
Columbia, and if plans materialize, a
flctilla of government destroyers will
pass in review under the central span.
