Associate Justice of Supreme
Court Imports One Quart
OF Booze. ~ ,'
HILDRETH GIVES OPINION

One very determined U. S. express
agent and one very positive U. s. bone
dry statute stand between Associate
Justice James E. Robinson and one
quart Of "flu cure" aged in wood, bot.
tied in bond and guaranteed eight
years old.
The flu cure reached the Bismarck
Northern Express office Tuesday,
night, and it was consigned to Justice
James E. Robinson. The league SUI
preme court member called for his
remedy Wednesday morning, and
Agent Walton positively refused to
turn it over to him without an afM.
davit from his doctor to the effect
that the aged jurist was in poor health
and must have ''flu cure" to make him
well. Judge Robinson declined to pro-
duce the affidavit, and the whiskey is
still there.
Law Must Take its Course.
, The law is no respecter. of persons,
in the opinion of Col. M. A. Hildreth'
U. S. district attorney, who. speaking
from Fargo yesterday; stated that un'
less Justice Robinson can produce an
affidavit of i'll health he will be in the
same position as North Dakota citi.
zens of lesser dignity who> have en-
deavored to import whiskey and other
drinka bles, and who have run athwart
the state and federal bone dry
statutes. .
IF Judge Robinson can produce an
affidavit from his physician stating
that LIQUOR is needed for medicinal
purposes, he. is within his rights under
the federal law" said Attorney Hid
reth yesterday. THE federal law per-
mits such shipments to be made upon
such affidavits; if an affidavit IS not
made. the law will apply as In the
case of any other citizen who shipped
liquor into the state"
Violates state Law.
Irrespective Of the legality Of the
so-called bone dry law of 1917. which
Judge Robinson has declared faxed
and illegal. liquor cannot be import
ed into North Dakota for medicinal
purposes by Individuals. A statute
enacted in 1918, and which was not
repealed by the act of 1916. provides
that such importations may be made
only through registered pharmacist:
Competent local authorities are OF
the opinion that eliminating the bone
dry act Of 1917 altogether. North Da-
kota is still "dry" territory under the
amended federal liquor statutes, which
prohibit the carrying in interstate
commerce of intoxicants consigned to
territory in which the sale or ranufac-
ture Of the same is prohibited. The
North Dakota constitution prohibits
the sale or manufacture OF alcoholic
beverages. and the state is therefore
made "bone dry" except as to intoxi'
cants to be used for medicinal, scien.

there has been a strict ban on public
meetings Of all kinds, including church
services, schools and theatres have
been closed, and business of all kinds
has been eriously affected. While
probably 600 cases in all have been
reported in Bismarck. the mortality
has been relatively low, the whole
number, of Bismarck deaths having
been not more than dozen. The vic.

in the last 4S hours there has only

large number of new cases continue to
come in from: outlying country dis

that the epidemic has lost its hold on

3,471 FIGHTING
MEN T0LEAYE
IN TWO WEEKS
Deferred Entertainments Ordered
to PrOceed-One New Call
Received.
USES UP ALL 1917 STOCK

Before the middle OF Novem Der
North Dakota will have entrained for
training camps 4,471 men, registrants
Of the 1917 and early 1918 classes. and
all Of the original select service men
available for full military service will
have been cleaned up. The schedule
calling for the entrainment Of $500
men for Fort Winfield Scott. Calf,
will go into effect November II, just
three weeks late, owing to the flu.
From November II to November Is
the entire contingent will be entrain-
ed. The majority of the men will
travel on four special trains, two OF
which will be made up in Fargo, one
running over the Great Northern and
the other over the Northern Pacific,
and two to be made up in Bismarck,
running over the Northern Pacific. All
select service men from north and
south 500 points will mobilize in Bis
marck, where a special Northern Pa
cific train will be made up for them.
Aside from the fact that the entrain
ment will be just three weeks late, the
days of entrainment and order of
movement will be the same as origin
ally announced.
On the same days. from November
II to Is, North Dakota will entrain
351 men for Camp Dodge, la. This is
an entirely new call, only received at
the adjutant generals office last even
ing, and county quotas and calls to
local boards have yet to be sent out.
This call is designed by Provost Mar
shall General .Crowder to take up 100
per cent of North Dakota availables
in the old classes. In view of the fact
that the influenza epidemic has taken
a considerable number of these young
men, the September IL registration
must be encroached upon to fill this
quota.
Next Monday and Tuesday, a month
overdue, the $40 men who are to re-
ceive vocational courses at the North
Dakota agricultural college will move
on Fargo. These three movements
will wind up all business in connec-
ton with the 1917 and early 1918 reg
istrants. A call for approximately s.
600 September IL. 1918, select service
men is now said to be pending, and it
may come at any moment. The adju-
tant general. therefore. has directed
that the physical examination Of Sep
tember 12 registrants must proceed
without delay. and there will be gen.
eral resumption of this work on the
part of county boards next Mon
day.
