Daylight Saving Rule
Becomes Effective in
New York at Midnight

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, March 26.-Daylight
saving will become effective at mid
night, but observance will not be
general. Ocean liners announced
they would sail and arrive under the
regular system of time. Newspapers
also must speed up to get their tele-
graph news in time to make show
ing in the early editions. In all the
city departments and wherever the
law can be enforced, the daylight
saving hours will be observed.
Chicago, March 26.-This city will
continue to operate under what the
southern people call Gods time" !"
Considerable sentiment favored re-
suming daylight savings hours, but
the American Federation of Labor
declared against it and the idea was
abandoned. There are indications
now, however, that the labor unions
would be glad if the city would
override their vote.

DRY ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER SHORN OF
y MUCH AUTHORITY
Decision of Federal Judge
Makes Head of Department
Mere Fiigurehead.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 2o.-Maj. A. V.
Dalrymple, at present in charge of
the prohibition enforcement forces
in the Chicago district, with his
powers Topped off, is likely to be
transferred to Arkansas, according
to hints coming from Washington.
The major is now in Washington,
where he went to protest against
interference with his work here and
lack of support given him by other
federal officials. From information
dribbling in from Washington, it ap-
years his mission is in vain and that
he will be succeeded by local man,
perhaps one less vigorous.
In any event the new officer will
be shorn of much power. Federal
Judge Carpenter has ruled that
hereafter no arrests, or seizures can
be made until they are sanctioned
by the district attorney. This makes
of the prohibition enforcement chief
a merefgurehead.
1t also means that it will be ex-
ceedingly difficult to round up any
of the bootleggers or saloonkeepers.
Liquor is obtainable almost any
where in the city, as attested by in
creaSing drunkenness.

Senator John Sharp Williams de-

II believe there are now men
glad that the president is sick, per-
hops hope for his death" Senator

Declaring the treaty debate was

the United States to stand at the
head of council of nations of the
world; to lead the universe in the
pathways of peace. The opportun-
ity was rejected and future histor-
.ians will refer to the last two years
as the time of the great conspir-

Wholesale Grocers
Urge Restrictions on
Use Of Packers Cars

Chicago, March 26.-The National
Whole salers Grocers' association
opened its case against the packers
and the railroads in an Interstate
Commerce commission hearing by
urging restriction of the use of pack
ers' cars to the handling of fresh
meats and packing house products
and revision of the list of such
articles.
Clifford Thorne, counsel for the
grocers, presented the proposal,
which he asked the packers and rail-
road interests to agree to and the
commission to order executed.
The proposal provided that canned
vegetables and soups, butter, cheese
various oils and canned meats with
vegetable ingredients be excluded
from cars used to ship fresh meats.
r. d. Rynder, counsel for Swift
& Co.. said that the recent agree
ment between the packers and At
torney General Palmer would cover
the situation. "We cannot enter into
any other agreement that might in
terfere with the carrying out of its
terms" he said
