Wants to Change Absurd Name.

New York.-Justice Callahan, in the
supreme court, has reserved decision
in the application Of Leon Abouta
Beekh to change his name to Leon
Atallah. Abouta Beekh said he was
born in Damascus, Syria, February 10,
1877, and has three children. The
name Abouta Beekh he said, means
father of cooking" and is so absurd
that 1t has all his life subjected him to
rldicule. He said he wanted to pre-
vent his children from enduring the
same ridicule.

AS far back as the first winter Of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
q sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scOurge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, In
August, 1917, to send a full commits
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees Of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
hot least, measures undertaken for the
succOr Of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tins Of the war had fallen is well
portrayed by this photograph Of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression Of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the

CHICAGO SALOONS GIVE UP.
We've Gambled Long Enough" Says
One Dealer.

Chicago, June 27-The big fellows in
the liquor game in Chicago are getting
ready to take the count July l.
Wholesalers who until now have
held out hope that President Wilson
would grant them a reprieve until
Janaury. 1920, are dumping their en-
tire stocks on the market and prices
are going down.
The saloonkeeper is in even worse
straits; his stocks are not moving
half as rapidly as he expected.
We've gamblcd long enough" one
big dealer said yesterday. perhaps
the President will decree a reprieve,
perhaps he won't and, with only four
days left, we cannot afford to take
a chance"
In many cases there was little re-
serve in criticism Of the government
and President Wilson for failure ITO
let the country know just where it
stands on the dry question. r.
IF we are going dry1,and I be-
lieve we are July lit certainly
would relieve an intense situation if
the President would say the word"
said Charles Stein of Stein Brothers,
in Madison street.
And here's another angle uncovered
yesterday that ought to give the drys
thorough workout in the presecu-
ton of the search and seizure bill.
Stocks left on hand after July l will
be kept where they are, the dealers
say. Tax of S6.40 already has been
paid the government, and If the Ill
nois drys want to raid these places
where this liquor is stored they will
do go az the chance cf running into
Uncle Sam.
About $S.0Oo000 worth of wines,
whisky. cordials and other liquors are
expected to be unsold on the morning
of July /. Acting under advice of
their attorneys, many dealers have
said they would hold the liquor in
storage for the rehabilitation procla-
nation, and then reopen their doors.
Others, less daring, say what they
have unsold the last night either will
be given away or poured in to the
sewers. In either case, however, the
dealer loses his $40 tax to the gov
eminent. Levy Mayer, counsel for the
vets, has advised them, the dealers
say, that they can sue the govern
ment for taxes already paid.
Storage OF whisky and cordials is
not confined to the dealers. Such hotels
as the Congress. La Sale and others
in the loop are going to keep big
reserve against the day, when the
army will be denobilized. And the
managers of the various hotels are
outspoken in defiance Of the drys.

CHICAGO TO LIVERPOOL sy BOAT
Lake Granby's Departure Marks city's
Debut as World Port.

Chicago. June s7.--Chicago was
placed on the map yesterday as a
world port and center for the direct
shipment of exports from the middle
west. The Lake CRANKY. a steamer
built in Chicago by the United States
chipping board, manned by a Chicago
crew, and loaded with Chicago pro-
ducts, sailed in the afternoon direct
for Liverpool. the first Chicago vessel
TO make the trip.
Luncheon was served on the steamer
to a party OF business men. a bottle of
champagne was broken over the bow
by II. II. Merrick president of the AS
ISOLATION OF Commerce. and then the
lines were cast oil. The start was
made In the south branch of the river
at Robey street
The Lake CRANKY Is loaded with
products from Morris & co. Swift &
Co., and Wilson & Co.
In explaining the purpose Of the
trip Charles NJ MacFarlane, first/vice
president OF Morris 4 Co, said:
THE advantages OF this mode OF
sending shipments to Europe are
great. as II eliminates rail shipment TO
New York. II relieves the congestion
at the seaboard and does away with
all the reloading. demurrage. and other
charges usually incident to shipments
TO the seaboard.
shippers from points west OF chi
caEo. on the Missouri river and the
other points in that direction are all
interested in the development OF this
branch of the service becauseit means
their own commodities can be handled
to much greater advantages thru Chi
cago than by having them shipped to
New York"
Two other steamers built at Duluth
for the shipping board are to be sent
to Chicago for cargoes in the near fu-
ture and will follow the Lake CRANKY
to European ports. The Chicago crew
and lake pilot will take the Lake
CRANKY as far as Montreal, where a sea
captain will board the steamer for the
trip across the Atlantic.
The shipping board is preparing
freight rates that will hereafter gov
ern shipments made directly from Chi
cago for export. Arrangements are
being made OF obtain return cargoes
for the steamers, so they can make
regular trips from Chicago.
