BY the saloon keepers of the state in

Even if Judge Hostetter were to

by the decision. Each county has its
own court. and the jurisdiction OF each
court is independent Of the others Of

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March Is
Leaders in the AntiSaloon League and
among other dry forces OF the state
are considerably worked up over the
activity of saloon keepers over the
state in making application for saloon
licenses, IN spite Of the fact that the
state wide prohibition law becomes
effective on April 2 They say the
rush Of saloon men to get new licenses
makes them think these saloon Keepers
have a bunch that the law Will not
take effect at that time.
Il is even thought that the saloon
men have the idea that the Evansville
case Is Just the same as decided. and
that. therefore, they had better get in
on the ground floor and get their new
licenses while the getting is good"
Just why the saloon men should be
come so self-assured in this regard IS
something the dry leaders are unable to
understand. Where do they get the idea
that they are TO be allowed to continue
70 run their saloons? If someone would
answer that question these dry leaders
would be much relieved.
The fact is that Judge Hostetter has
not given his decision IN the case and
has not even indicated when it will
come down. There IS a widespread i'm
preston that an injunction viii be
granted that will restrain Prosecutor
Osborn from interfering with the Cook

A Magnificent Address

The cOncensus of opinion seems tC
be that the address delivered last
night at the Chautauqua by Petel
MacQueen, war correspondent anG
lecturer, was one of the finest even
heard in this city. The speaker held
his audience spell-bound during the
hour that he devoted to the discus
sion of the present war, and there
was no one present who was mo-
amply repaid for the expenditure OF
time and money.
Mr.. MacQueen's personal know
ledge of the matters of which he
spoke, the fact that he had been pres
emit, that he had with ssed the events
which he described, and the further
fact of his familiarity with the con-
ditions of Europe before the out
break of the war, all added to the
deep interest which his lecture arous
ed in the minds of those who heard
him. The illustrations which he
used, of which there were a great
number, were his own work, that is,
Of course, they were developed from.
pictures he had taken.
II there were no other feature, ii
there were no other entertainment
during the whole Chautauqua, the
lecture Of Peter MacQueen last night
was we'll worth the price of the sea
son ticket to the Chautauqua.

One of the officers quoted by the
GaZettino, said that priest in a
liturgy introduced a line beseeching
heaven to bless the King of 1taly's
Army. Austrian soldiers, assisting
at the ceremony, were indignant and
reported the matter to the military
governor. The population had been
so aroused, however, by the various
oppressive acts of the invaders that
the military authorities dared not
punish the priest.
Large quantities of checks" are
forced upon the people by the officers
and men. These are inscribed with
much bitter humor as Seek payment

Jesus Christ" Up to the time of
this officers escape, no checks, even
those issued by the Austrian officers
in good faith, had been paid
The silver of the country is be-
ing Systematically withdrawn from
circulation and bling replaced by
Austrian banknotes. The silver is
being sent to the Interior of Austria.
No articles sold by the Austrian
Government authorities can be paid
for except with silver.
The fear of rebellion on the part
of the invaders is indicated by the
extraordinary precautions taken
whenever an Austrian official visits
any of the towns in the occupied
territory. People are ordered to
stay within doors and not to appear
at the windows. Streets, traversed
by the officials, are lined with soldi-
ers with fixed bayonets.

ent visit to the Austrian front, did
not see a single one of his tempo

DANGER IN DELAYING
FOOD CONTAINERS
Cooperation OF Shippers And Manu-
facturers Needed to Prevent Losses
OF PeriShable Food Products.

Washington, d. c., June r.
Shippers of perishables and manufac-
turers of containers should act i'm
mediately to prevent food losses this
season by providing crates, barrels,
hampers and baskets for perishable
products in time for the shipping
season, the United States Department
of Agriculture advises. Manufacture
ers will be greatly aided if shippers
and growers will order now instead
of waiting until the shipping season
begins in their locality. This will
prevent plants shutting down and
help to utilize every facility and
worker of the manufacturer.
The threatened shortage of con-
tanners is general both in territory
and in types of packages. Bear in
mind, says the department, that per-
ishable fruits and vegetables mar
keted in containers are TO a large
iegree substituted for the staple
foods now being sent to feed our
soldiers and the people of the Allies.
Perishables wasted here lessen the
supply lover there"
Save wheat and the cause shares

5ook this town, were sent to Terra

GASOLINELESS DAYS
May Come Shortly to Join Meatless
And Wheatless Days.

Washington, June 1.-THE gaSo-
lineless day bids fair soon to join
the WheatleSs and the meatless days.
The shortage of the gasoline supply
is becoming so acute that the govern
ment is growing apprehensive and a
marked reduction in the use of gaso-
line by the civilian public is essen
tial. 1t is stated that before many
days the oil administrator, Mr.. Re
qua, will announce that the govern
ment will take over all the reineries.
1t will not operate them itself, but
will control the entire output by the
license system. Fuel oil is practical
ly already under government con-
troll through the recent order which
created a pool of all the output OF
the American wells
1t is now expected that the govern
ment, by licensing the oil refineries,
will control the output of all the pc
troleum products. This, of course,
will include, naphtha, benzine, il
Eliminating oils and all the other oil
products, in addition to gasoline.
1t is the purpose of the oil admin
istration to begin the saving of gaso-
line by the voluntary cooperation of
the public. Every automobile user
will first be requested to leave his
automobile in its garage for one day
each week. This voluntary Austen
ton will be permitted to continue for
a period long enough to enable the
oil administrator to decide if enough
gasoline is being saved to remedy the
existing shortage. If it does not
prove satisfactory the gasolineless
day will be made obligatory, and if
one day week is not sufficient two
days Will be set apart. The oil ad-
ministration is unwilling to use harsh
measures, and it is quite probable
that at first the gasless day will ap-
ply only to pleasure vehicles, but the
lines will be gradually drawn tight
er until only the absolutely indispen-
sable use of gasoline will be permit
ted to the public.
The demand for gasoline for war
purposes, both in this country and
abroad, is constantly growing more
urgent.
The War Department is increasing
every day the number of heavy
trucks used by the Quartermaster's
Department for transportation Of
supplies from the interior to the sea-
board. In France the supply OF ma
tive gasoline has long since been
wholly Inadequate, and the over
whelming percentage of gasoline is
brought over from the United States.
In England the shortage has been
SO acute for months that the English
Government has practically prohibi-
ted its use by the public, and ordi-
nary coal gas is being used in great
quantities as a substitute for fuel.
Automobiles and motor buses now
carry, instead Of a gasoline tank, a
huge cylinder of coal gas, which is
proving fairly acceptable substitute
The demand for gasoline, both at
home and abroad, for war purposes,
is increasing out of all proportion to
the supply. A recent dispatch from
Havana stated that gasoline in Cuba
costs 65 cents a gallon.
