TO ARREST VIOLAFORS
Roper Serves Notice That State Laws ' on Booze Will Not Protect Individ-
 uals From Govt. Prosecution.

Washington. Feb. 2S.--All persons found violating the federal prohibition enforcement act will be proceeded against to the "limit of the law" ire spective of any state statutes legaliz- ing the sale of liquors, it was an nounced today by Commissioner Ro- per of the internal revenue bureau.
 Mr. Roper's ruling resulted from the bill now pending before the New Jersey legislature legalzing the sale and manufacture or beer containing 1-2 per cent. alcohol.
 The bureau of internal revenue is charged with the enforcement of the national prohibition act" he said.ss Tt definitely prohibits the manufacture and sale for beverage purposes of all liquors containing half of one per cent. or more of alcohol by volume. This being the case the manufacture and sale of 3 1-2 per cent. beer which is permitted by the bill in the New Jersey legislature, is in direct viola ton of the federal statute. All per- ; sons, therefore. who are found guilty of this violation Of the federal statute will be proceeded against to the limit Of the law"

Troubles Over Extension of Fran
 ChiSe Cause Drastic Action
MUST HAVE NEW ELECTION
Constitution Provides for Election Within Five Months-Present Par Years Old.

Washington, Feb. 2S. (By The As sociated Press) The Japanese Diet has been dissolved by imperial de- cree as a result of a profound diff ference of opinion between the cab inet and the majority parties in the Diet regarding the extension of the franchise.
 This action was taken by the em- peror last Thursday at the request of Premier Hara, according to cable ad- vices received here today from Tokio. It followed the recent violent scenes in parliament over the suffrage ques- ton.
 New Election Necessary.
 Under the constitution a new cleo tion must be held within five months.
 The parliament just dissolved is now about two and a half years old. There were few sessions during the war and when the present parliament convened on Christmas Day, it was practically for it's first business ses- sion. One of the first measures brought forward related to the eX- tension of the franchise. About two years ago the government had con- Sented to the passage of legislation which extended the right of the people of Japan to vote to those whose direct tax exceeded three yen. This while excluding the entire body of labor, farm laborers and mechanics. was eally 8 considerable enlargement of the old and very restricted suffrage lists.
 The government desired to test the new law by the election of a Diet be- fore consentirg to any measure of further extension. But the power full opposition party-the Ken Sci Kai made an issue of a measure con ferring universal suffrage upon all males in Japan.
 No Text Vote Taken.
 The governm ent found that the measure had about received the sup port of another powerful party in the Diet-the Ko-Kumin to,-which had heretofore supported the govern ment in most of it's measures. There fore, without awaiting a test vote which might have mounted to an expression of a lack of confidence in the cabinet. the premier applied to the emperor for a writ of dissolution, which was granted.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The American line steamer St. Paul, which turned ocer at her pier here Aprin 25, 1918, while in the service of the United States as a transport, sails today for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southamp- ton on her first trip since the acci- dent occurred. The position of the ship after she turned over, cramped in between two concrete piers, made the work of raising her difficult task. and she was not ref1oated until September of that year.
 The vessel has been completely re- stored, and she sails under her for mer commander, Captain Arthur Mills, with more than 500 passengers. Among those booking passage on the St Paul is pr. Eusebio Avala, Para guayan minister to France.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The reply o1 the British and French premiers tC President Wilson on the Adriatit question was read today hy the pres ddent and he is expected to send his reply early next week.
 Principle Is Unchanged. saA Officials were not disposed to dis l&cuss the latest note from London, but it was said that the withdrawal of the agreement of December pend ing an attempt by Italy and Jugo- Slavia to reach a satisfactory agree ment among themselves as proposed by the premiers could have little ef- feet on the ultimate outcome of the ,. negotiations. The principle enun- i riated in that agreement will remain .$&.Ee same, it was explained, and the SAme erican government will continue to adhere to it's original position that the settlement to which Jugo-Slavia objected was not to be forced up on that country.
 Wilson's Course AsSai1cd.
 The presidents course in the Adrl- atic matter was criticized today in the ,. senate during the first debate upon v the subject. Senator Kellogg. repub- iican, of Minnesota. one of the mild reservation republicans, who has been working for ratification of the treaty, 7 took the lead in the attack and he was joined by the treaty's irrecon- cilablc fees.
 Senate. Kellogg said the president without Justification had undertaken to dictate absolutely an Adriatic set clement. He added that the develop ment "waa discouraging'' to friends of r-hs peace treaty
 The senator did not know he said, '.Why Italy should not defend her self.''
 My position is that it is none of our business he continued. T do not !. believe the president is Justified in at z tempting to dictate an adjustment If We are going to stafe in that way be- gro we going to get into unless we 2 have an adequate reservation of ar ticle x after the treaty is ratified
 Hitchcock in Reply.
 Replying to Senator Kellogg, Sem ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the dem 2@ratic leader, declared that the peace treaty hy providing, for a plebiscite in the E&ar valley at the end of IS years, had preserved the principle of self det termination for the people of that valley.
 Senator Hitchcock added that, att tacks on the president for failing to carry out all Of his proposals for self determinaticn came with poor &race from republican senators who had tried to discredit him during the Negotiations.
