STATES RIGHTS
COURT ISSUE
Rhode Island Attorney Cen
eral Declares Dry Law
Usurpation.

Attorney General Rice. of. Rhode
Island. in opening the case for
State Of Rhode Island before the su-
preme Court yesterday, maintained
that the purpose of a constitutional
amendment IL merely to correct an
error. Instead OF doing this. he
asserted, the Eighteenth amend
ment. coupled with the yolstead
law, extends Federal authority in
such a manner as to usurp for the
government the sovereign preroga-
tives of the States.
Chief Justice White interrupted
him at one point to say that the
Fourteenth amendment went furth-
er than a mere correction. Rice
replied that the amendment in it
self was no infringement on State
rights.
At this first serious test of the
constitutionality of the volstead
Act, the court chamber was filled
with one of the most impressive
assemblages of legal talent ever
seen in Washington. Besides the
judges themselves were. Wayne B.
Wheeler, OF the Antisaloon League,
former Justice Charles r. Hughes.

MAPPED
TOAD RUSSIA
New Trade Scheme Pro.
vides for Elimination of
Export License System.

President Wilson may approve.
within the next two weeks. a dis
tinctly American plan providing for
the resumption Of trade with Rus
sia and the sending of relief to GER
tain stricken regions in the Soviet
republic.
The plan follows. on general lines,
the Supreme Councils proposal to
deal through the co-operatives, but
contains several features entirely
new. Chief among these is the plan
to send relief supplies with the un-
derstanding that their distribution
will be effected on an equitable
basis, and that none OF them will be
used for the support OF the Soviet
armies.
The American plan, in brief. pro-
vides for elimination of the export
license system. which up 10 now has
acted as an absolute embargo on
the shipment of American goods to
Russia. This would be accomplish
ed by Presidential decree. There
after American business houses de-
sirous of dealing with the cooper
atives would transact their business
possibly with representatives of the
Soviet government in this country.
The plan in no sense contemplates
diplomatic dealings with the Soviet
government, but 1t does permit
great latitude between Americans
and Russians.

FEW ONLY ARE PRESENTED AT
 KINGS COURT

LONDON, July A (by Associated Press). - Restrictions placed upon American women who aspire to pre- sentation at court are such that near ly all of them in London will be dis appointed this year. Only eight of the many who are reported to have applied will be presented and they must have surprised some of the uninitiated.
 If married, their husbands must pre- viously have been presented at a levee; they must have entree to the White House and if they have been divorced it must be indisputably shown that the divorce was granted in her favor in open trial at, which both parties were represented in court and where animony and custody of the children have been granted to the woman. Even in such cases the de- mand for legal details is so minute that the king, in deference to the ideas of the queen, it is said, has let it be known that it is inadvisable for divorcees to apply at all.
 Applications of Americans for court presentations must be made to the American ambassador and he stands sponsor for those he selects. Of course this feature of the embassy work is almost as carefully guarded, out of respect for the feelings of the many who try and fail, as is some of the important diplomatic correspond ence. But it is known among Amer jeans in London that the list of appli- cations is quite long this year.
 This is emphasized by an embassy circular which has come into the hands of some influential Americans here explaining what is required of successful applicants. It is longer and more explicit than the usual circulars on the same subject and does not mince words regarding what may and what may not be expected.
 Considerable space is devoted to changes in dress required. In the in terest of economy the queen has de- creed that women shall no longer wear head feathers or trains on their dresses at court Some of the former adornments for the men also, have been eliminated, but it still is stipu- lated what kind of buttons they must wear on their knee brooches and that they must not wear buckles on their patent leather pumps.

PATHFINDER TO
 EXPLOIT OUR
 RESOURCES

At the meeting of the Chamber of commerce yesterday, J. w. Frame, the publisher of the Pathfinder, was pres ent and submitted to the chamber his plan for an annual edition of the mag agine containing B pages and having circulation of 25,000 copies. The October number, will complete the first year of the magazine and this an- nual is to be published on Alaska day. October IS.
 The officers of the grand igloo have been invited to join in the publication of this mammoth edition of 25,000 copies for general circulation through out the states.
 The chief purpose of the Pioneers of Alaska, as declared in the constitu- tion of the order, is to work for the betterment of Alaska" but up to the present year the Pioneers have not taken up this line of their work to any great extent
 AS has been said by one of the we'll known writers of the states:
 Alaska is the most wonderfully mis- understood country in the world" and it is the aim of the publisher of the Pathfinder to unite the Pioneers, the city councils, the chambers of com merce, and all others interested in the betterment of Alaska in one big drive for this nationwide advertisement of its resources, that the people of the states may better understand" it's true worth.
 Tn this union of the towns each is to have one page for every 1000 copies of the book taken by such town, at 20 cents per copy when taken in 1000 lots These pages for the different towns are to be descriptive of the re- sources of that particular town and community and showing up of the commercial and industrial opportuni- ties offered the investment of capital or the building of homes.
 The object of this "team work by the different towns of the territory is to reduce the cost of printing the mag azines from 50 cents for twenty-page book to 20 cents for a fifty-page book, if taken in 1000 lots. The 20 cents per copy is the mere cost of printing and other expenses of publication the chief aim of the publisher of the Path finder being to establish a wide circu lation for the magazine that it's power for the "betterment of Alaska" for all future time may be greatly increased
 F. M. Kempfer, who is the territorial representative of the Pathfinder, was also present at the chamber meeting and told of the wonderful success of the magazine. He leaves in few days for the coast towns of the south with a view to having each of them join in this big drive for the adver- tisement of the wonderful resources Of this great northland.
 The chamber of commerce was very favorably impressed with the idea of issuing this big edition of the Path finder and President Boyle was author ized to appoint a committee to devise ways and means for seeing that An chorage was we'll represented in the makeup of the big 52-page book, Judge Brown was present at the meeting and heartily indorsed the proposition and assured MT. Frame that it would have his support when Valdez was reached. Arthur Lang, clerk of the court, was also present and coincided with Judge Brown in his personal support for so 1audable an observation-disclosures Times.
