Ohio Faces Dry Constitution
With No Statutes to
Enforce 1t

Columbus, o., May 10.-Just what
is going to happen to the liquor
traffic in Ohio after May %, when
the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, adopted last au-
tumn, becomes effective, is a prob
lem that is bothering state and To-
cal officials.
The State faces the situation of
having a dry constitution but no
statutes to enforce it. The General
Assembly enacted enforcement
measures but they must run the
gauntlet of a referendum next No
vember before they can become op-
erative and should the voters dis
approve of them there will be no
particular authority by which to en-
force prohibition, it is said. Anti
Saloon League officials say they have
not given up hope of obtaining some
legislation that will be effective May
81.
Most of the saloon keepers are
planning to quit business May 27
and they may have to retire even
before that date. The license year
of saloon keepers expires May "a.
None has applied for renewal of Ii
cense and the time for making ap-
plication has passed.

Wealth of Methodism
Twenty-Five Billions

Baltimore, Nd, May 10.-Practi-
cal business men, directing the big
Centenary program of the Metho-
dist Church, in a review of the
wealth of the church membership,
assert that the full amount of $105,-
100000 for Centenary world work
could be easily raised if every Meth
odist would each contribute a penny
day for five years.
The wealth of the present Metho-
dist Episcopal constituency is esti-
mated at not less than $25,00O,000,-
600 on the basis of the average per
capita wealth of the nation, and it
is increasing at the rate of $1,000
100000 a year.
Figures just compiled show that
the Methodist Episcopal Church
raised for all purposes last year ap-
proximately $50,00O,000. in which is
included $3,000,000, the regular in
come of the board OF foreign mis-
sions and the board of home mis-
sions and church extension.

He rose, eager to get away, but
Mr.. Leighton detained him. He was
unaccountably attached to this young
man. He was good looking and had
honest blue eyes. 1t would be too
bad if he could not furnish satisfac-
tory references. He was just the
kind of a chap that he wanted-so
far as appearances went. Leighton
felt that this fellow could be trusted
with his handsome cars and with his
pretty daughter.
But why" the older man asked,
not a New Yorker?"

He remembered with throb of
relief that he had been born in
North Carolina. He need not men

David DeLaine felt the blood
rush to his face. He suspected
now that this was Desiree Leigh
tons father. If so, DeLane could
not reveal his identity. Such be-
ing the case, he could not ask any
of his acquaintances for references
for who would give him one if he
used an assumed name?
Then he thought suddenly of an
elderly man who had been dear
friend of his fathers. He lived in
South Carolina. Perhaps if David
wrote to him. telling him that he
wished to remain unknown, as he
was obliged to take a position as a
chauffeur, Mr.. Carey might consent
to write a letter recommending
him.
You can, of course, give me
good references?"

question.

ed by police. made in a note from
the Russian Soviet government to the
State Department, was met yesterday
with the reply that the reprisaIs
would be certain to arouse in the

such acts"

United States OF favoring czarism
and stated no Americans in Russia
had been molested. II spoke Of the
ARREST" of Martens in New York
and demanded his Immediate re-
lease.
The State Department in its re-
ply said that Martens never has been
arrested. that he is a German cfti-
zen and that this government has
not recognized the Moscow regime

YE0MEN (F) PUT
IN CIVIL STATUS
Readjustment in Depart
ments Begins, with all
Sure of Positions.

Yesterday began the greatest read
justment in government departments
since the end OF the war. Contrary
to the general expectation, but few
clerks are without positions, due to
the fact that reductions and expan-
sions very nearly counterbalance.
The greatest change takes place in
the Navy Department. where all OF
the female enlisted personnel will be
changed to civil status. This demob-
ilization must be completed by Au-
gust /. About eight thousand yeomen
% and Marinettes in the United
States will be affected. about one
half of that number being in this city.
Navy Department officials stated last
night that practically all of these
would be kept on the rolls as civil
employees. Such employees may take
civil service examinations. and those
found eligible will be given permanent
appointment. Those not taking the
examination may be held until June
90, 1890.
The greatest opportunity to dis
missed employees occurs in the Treas
ury Department. where several hun
dred have been added in the past
month and many more will be added
in the near future. the exact number
depending upon Congress. The prin-
cipal increases are in the Ounces OF
the auditors for the departments and
