Detroit, May Michigan today

"Eone dry state. the amendment to
the state constitution providing for
prohibition having become effective
at midnight last night. Many of the
1926 saloons affected by the law, re-

lunches and the dispensing of what
is advertised as Temperance beer. y
This was particularly true in the case
of downtown saloons in the cities

The manufacture of beer in the

discontinued sometime ago, many of

QUESTION OF THE JAPS
SECURING OIL IN MEXICO
Matter Is Discussed Before The
Committee On Industrial
Mobilization

Toxic, March 26.-[Correspon-
dence of The Associated Press] 1.-THE
possibility of the Japanese govern
ment securing oil in Mexico came up
before the committee on the indus
trial mobilization of the Japanese
diet just before adjournment of that
body.
Admiral Kato, the minister OF
marine, said that the government was
making Investigations with regard to
the oil fields in Mexico but that for
diplomatic reasons he could not go
into details. The government was
also considering the advisability OF
prospecting for oil in Formosa.
DR.. Takahashi, of the house oil
peers, suggested that Japan should
make endeavors to dig wells in
Mexico without bothering about the
views of the United States and Wis
count Kyoshiro Inouye added that sc
long as the United States does not
scruple about extending her influence
in Siberia, Japan had no reason fol
refraining from activity in Mexico
Admiral Kato again said he could moi
discuss the matter.
The oil question arises from the
fact that the Japanese navy has
insufficient quantities of heavy oil fol
use in war time and that it will be
necessary to construct storage tanks
as well as to purchase supple:
abroad.

SLEUTHS HAVE A SALOON

Blackberry Brandy.

The saloon business is so unprofit-
able in Ceylon under the Safety COM
mission order limiting the hours of
sale from 9 a. m. to p. M and for
bidding the taking Of liquor from the
premises that William Ditz said to-
day he would quit the business, says
The Fairmont Sentinel
DitZ, his son, William, Jr., and his
bartender, Louis LEM, were in justice
courtr today charged with selling
liquor in packages for consumption
outside of the saloons.
The arrests were the result of
sleuthing by two Burns detectives,
who produced two bottles of whisky
and two of blackberry brandy, which
they bought at the Ditz saloon.
The accused men were bound over
to the grand jury in bail of $500 each.
The elder Ditz said that his license
expires today and that he would not
renew it, because, under the safety
order and the inroads of prohibition
he could not make money enough to
pay the license fee of $4,000 year
and make living. He said he had
never been in trouble before.
This leaves only one saloon in Cey-
lon and three in Martin county.

MUMMlES ARE STORED

London, May 1.-THE treasures of
the British museum, including its
priceless collection of mummies have
been stored for the period of the
war in deep uncompleted subway

of the postoffices along the line of
the subway have just raised protest
against the use of the boring for this

for use as an air-raid shelter for
postal employees.
