SUPREME COURT Up|HOLDS RULING
 'B0NE DRY ACl
Refuse Rellearing in Ri ward Case, Decided
 Against State.

Little Rock, March 4.-The supreme court today denied the petition filed by Attorney-G Arbuckle asking for rehearing in the "bone dry'' case. Justice Humphreys filed a dis senting opinion saying he did not diff fer from his colleagues on the canon of the construction of the statute, but did differ from them on the meaning of the "bone dry" law, especially un- der the rule of construction in the decision reversing and remanding the Rivard case for a new trial.
 Under the construction of the "bone dry" law, as made by a majority of the court, liquor can be imported into the state for personal use.
 Governor Brough is considering call ing a special session of the legislature to correct the defect in the law, but wants to exact promise from the legislators that nothing more will be taken up. and that they will serve without pay. Neither of these prcpo- sals meets with much approval.

I, Checking German Influence :n Sf- m,;a and Protecting War Stores M yladiyostock, Japan 'aEnot
 Expect Aid From Allies.

London, March 4.-The British, French and Italian ambassadors in Tokio intended yesterday or today jointly to ask Japan to take the neces- sarv steps to safeguard allied inter- ests in Siberia, according to the Daily Mail. The newspaper adds that the American ambassador was not expec : ed to jcin in the request, but that no disturbing conclusions are to be drawn from this fact, as no American op- position is expected.
 Washington, March 4.-Miiitary act ion by the Jajeanese in Eastern Si- b;ria to check German influence and protect war stores at Vladivc:tok is believed here to be, imminent. The United States has not yet expressed it's views on the proposed step, but it was said in diplomatic quarters tonight that the Japanese probably would move quickly to meet emergel cN conditions, leaving to the pending diplomatic exchanges development cc an understanding, with America and all the allies upon the scCj.. ani purposes of the enterprise.
 While it has no direct bearing up on the situation in Ast,astic Russia, the news which came today to the Swedish legation that Gel many had given notice of her intention to oc- cupy the whole of Finland will tend to hasten an agreement upon Japan ese plans. The German explanations to the Swedish foreign office. which nes protested against the proceed lngs, that the occupation is to re- store order and without intent to- tak' permanent possession, is re garded as very fair and indication mat the Bolsheviki have been forced 10 accept their hard peace terms.
 offlcsals and diplomats here pro iess ignorance of what preparations nave 'Seen made by Japan for the c;,,- eratlons about to be undertaken. As a matter of fact secrecy has been observed and a strict censorship in regard to the Siberian question is in lorce at Tokio. Possibly the next word to come, out of Japan on the suelect will be an announcement of something accomplished. Tn this ,onnectlon it is recalled that at the yes'hp'ng of the Russo-Jaranese war tue Japanese acted without herald Ius. Before there was any such for la'llty as declara+ion or war a Rus sNh rect had been smashed and the war half won.
 U mas been stated in official quart .as .a 'hP, It is no concern of the, en- .eh's a'lles nor America how Japsr. ;a" soes a'oout the task once the quest io ioa ol policy is settled If the decis- s ,oa IS reached to give Japan the free as asno I'D Eastern Siberia, it is conced- su now that no other military or asVai a power is in a position to rend- th. M ner any substantial aid owing to ~e lack of available forces.

Wireless Capable of Com municating Messages to
 Germany Seized.

New York, March 4.-Wireless ap paratus sufficiently powerful to com municate with Germany which was in the possession of Richard Pfund, at one time manager of the German Tele- funken plant at Sayville, New York, and Tuckerton, N. J., was se1zed yes terday by federal officials, it became known today. The outfit was found in room in the tower of the office building Ill Broadway. While it was disconnected. it could have been set up in half an hour, experts declared.
 The raid was made by United States Marshal Mccarthy, an army intelli- gence officer, an army wireless ex- pert and other government agents. They were refused admission by Pfund, who occupies the four floors of the tower as a laboratory. He took the stand that he was doing experi- mental work for the navy, and that they had no right to interfere. He unlocked the door, however, when the officers threatened to break it down
 Pfund is said to have made an ex- planation concerning the presence of the apparatus in the laboratory, but the nature of it has not been disclosed His assertion that he had been doing work of the navy was verified, but no announcement was made as to it's nature. He is said to have shown the officers the model of field wireless outfit for communication between points on the battle front.

Associated Press Summary)

Associated Press Summary)
 Altho the military operations along the western front in France and Bel gium gradually are growing in magni- tude until it seems apparent that fierce battles cannot much longer be delayed, the situation in Russia con- tinues to hold an absorbing place in public interest thruout the world
 Scant advices from Petrograd are coming thru, but those that are find ing their way out of the turmoil rid den capital indicate that while the Germans have ceased operations in Great Russia following the signing of peace cOmpacts with the Bolsheviki, they now are striking against Tfn- land, and that in the south the Austro- Hungarians are making inroads into Podolia in an endeavor to drive out the Bolsheviki, and then secure an untrammeled hold on the country, upon which dependence had been placed for the feeding of the Teutonic allies. ! Mr
 Would Control Baltic.
 While ostensibly the German opera tions in Finland, which are being car ried out from bases in the Aland Is- londs, have as their purpose the driv- ing of the Finnish revolutionists and Rolsheviki Red guards from Southern Finland, it is probable Germany's an- bitions in this region have in view the securing of the control of southwest ern Finland as far as HelsingfOrs. This stretch of territory along the northern shores of the Gulf of Fin land, taken in conjunction with the holdings of the Germans on the souht- ern shore to the region of Reval, would give the invaders absolute mas tery over the western approch to the gulf, and paralyze completely the movement of ships of war or com- merce into the Baltic.
 The contents of the peace treaty be- tween the Germans and the Bolshe- wiki have not yet been made public, but there is no room for doubt that the Teutonic allies exacted from the Russians price in keeping with their full desires. The treaty is to be ratified next Thursday.
 Austrian Drive Successful.
 In Pcdolia the Austro- Hungarian forces evidently are meeting with slight resistance as they overrun lit- tie Russia. A strong indication of this is the Vienna statement that they have already scattered more than 770 guns and 1000 machine guns, and in addlf- tion large quantities of war material.
 In eastern Siberia the Bolsheviki elements evidently are placing ohsta- cles in the way of a possible Japanese invasion of that territory. Already they have destroyed bridges along the Trans-Siberian railway, in addition to having mined, for eventual destruc- tion if necessary, other portions of the railway line. f
 Orders Hostilities Ceased.
 Petrograd, March 4.-Ensign Kry- lenko, commander-in -in-chief of the army had ordered the field staff at Mohilev to cease hostilities, according to an official announcement today. The ;roops are instructed to remain in their present position.
