The collector of customs at Juneau has received direction by wire from the treasury department to permit the transportation of intoxicating liquor through flask q waters and across American territory in the north in bond from one Canadian point to an other. This traffic was stopped July 15, in accordance with a letter dater July s, which directed that such trans portation be prohibited unless the liquor so shipped was accompanied with prohibition permit.
 The telegram to the collector of GUS toms says that two cases are pending in the supreme court to test the order heretofore issuer, directing that the shipment of intoxicating liquors from one foreign port to another through the United States be prohibited unless the goods shipped are accompanied by a prohibition permit Pending decision on one Of these cases the collector of customs is directed to suspend action under the former order and to permit the shipment of liquors in bond from Canadian ports to the south to points in Yukon territory and northern British Columbia.
 It is said that many shipments of liquor from Vancouver to Whitehorse, Dawson, Atlin and other points have been held up since July at Vancouver and Victoria on account of the re- fusal of the American customs to per init their shipment through Alaskan waters and over the White Pass rail. road in bond unless the prohibition permit were first secured The prohi- bition officers of Washington and Alaska have refused to issue permits for such transportation because the Volstead act provides that these per mits may be issued only when the H. quor to be transported was not in tended for beverage purposes.

GIRLS DOG TIES UP STEAMER
Killed by the Montevideo
Sanitary Officials.

MOntevideo, Cruguay.-Rcfusal OF an
American girl on board the shipping
board steamer Aeolus to abandon her
dog prevented the liner tying up on
It's arrival and led to the prospect Of
the steamer being forced to discharge
its cargo In the outer harbor.
Sanitary officials ordered the animal
killed In accordance with quaratine
regulations, due to the presence Of
rinderpest IN Brazil.
The girl refused to permit her pet
to be consigned to death. She chose
to remain on board and return with
the dog to New York. Thereupon the
authorities refused to allow the
steamer to dock.
The owner of the dog Is Miss Muriel
COrneille of New York. She said the
dog belonged to her brother who was
killed in France. Comrades found the
dog guarding his masters dead body
and one of them brought the animal
back to New York and delivered it to
her.
II would rather you would kill me
than kill that dog" said Miss COrneille.

GIVEN NEW LAW CODE
Samoan Statutes Revised Along
American Lines.
Big Contrast to Old System Of the Ma.
tives, Which Has Been In Force
for Many Years

PagO Pago, American Samoa.-A
new code Of laws based on American
statutes has developed In American
Samoa from the disturbance Of last
year which eliminated In the suicide
Of the governor, Commander Warren
]. Terhune.
The revised laws. drawn by Capt,
Waldo Evans, the new gOverpar. and
Judge A. NJ. Noble, and submitted to
the native chiefs. mark an Interesting
change from the early laws provided
for the Sam0ans.
When In 1900 the first secretary Of
native affairs. Judge Gurr, asked the
native rulers of the Samoan villages
to submit laws tn him for RECON-
mendatiOn to the first governor, he
received from various villages q copy
Of the ten commandments Of the Bible.
This was accompanied with the sug-
gestion that penalties for their viola
tion should consist Of a fine In the
shape Of hog and barrel Of beef.
These recommendations were not
adopted as whole, for such penalties
would have resulted in every ofrense
paving the way for 4 feast In the VII
lage. This OFFICIALS decided, wRuld
prove TOO much Of . temptation for
the natives.
1t Is the custom Of the SsmOans. and
was then, that when any Offense Ia
complained OF and the offender not
known. for the native pastor. or native
magistrate. to compel each person In
the village to dectrs his or her in.
nocence by oath on the Bible.
On one occasion some church money
was stolen from the box Of . Samoan
pastor, where 1t had been placed for
safe-keeping. The native pastor I'm
medIately went from house to house
with q Bible, swearing In every IN
mate, but everyone declared Innocence.
He. haweyer. forgot te take the oath
himself, and the thief remained . mys.

Some years afterward the pastor be.
came seriously III and his relatives
were called together. Having made
certain that they were all In = fargIv-

was the culprit. Under the circum-

knowledge in Cipher.

Philadelphia, Pa.--Alchemists who
for 8OO years sought to lind ln Roger
Bacons cipher writings the secret OF
turning base metals Into gold were the
victims of hoax. declared William
Romaine NewbOld, professor Of INTEL
iectual and moral philosophy ut the
University Of Pennsylvania, before the
general meeting OF the American
Philosophical society here.
Bacon. he c0ntended, hid under q
in'nsensical jargon Of alchemists'
terms a marvellous storehouse Of scien-
tific knowledge.
Doctor Newbold told Of his two
years labor 10 dscjpher the code Ba-
con used.
AS result of the revelations made
by the 800, 900 word manuscript, scien-
fists have declared Bacon had remark
able knowledge Of mathematical sys-
tens conceived today, and had not the
discoveries made by him remained un-
known TO Others until rsdisGorerea
hundreds Of years after his death.
science would have been just SO much
In advance Of its present state.
Explanation Of the Cipher.
Bacon conceived the Idea of ex-
pressing every letter Of a word which
he wanted to write in cipher. by syl-
liable and building the syllable into A
new word" he said. For example, II
the letter 'C is represented BY 'GR,'
a. by AID. and e. by ED the word
Graded would spell Cat
The principle cannot be used In this
way because. drst. every word will be
represented In cipher BY twice as many
letters, and second, no words can be
used In cipher except those of an even
number Of letters. TO meet these diff
culties Bacon lays down the rule that
successive syllables must end and be-
gin with the same letters, doubled lot
ters being dropped. Thus CAT may
be spelled in the Bacon cipher as fol.
lows: 'GO-ol-ld; dropping the double
letters, one gets the word Gold
No Wonder Secret Was Kept.
in reading the cipher you double
every letter except the first and last
and thus discover the syllables which
spell the word. But II is seldom pos
sible to ind syllables which fulfill
these conditions and yet spell 4 new
word when arranged In the order OF
letters Of the original word like eat
for example. 'Cat' may also be spelled
ark da,' and the syllables may be
rearranged into the word dark but
when dark is translated the word
cat will reappear as tea the order
Of the letters being dsarranged. These
are the principles Bacon used.
There are 4S4 possible combinations
Of the letters OF two 9!-letter alpha
bets, taken two by two. Bacon makes
every one OF the 4S4 represent II letter
., his alphabet and with them spells
his words Ia Latin In the way indi-
Gated above. He disarranges the I'M
derlying text MS little as possible and
il usually In still recognizable. but
frequently II is disarranged SO much
that scholars probably never will
agree rs to how 1t should he recon-
Strnctpd."

Chinese Family Relations,

There Is no such species as the "old
maid" In China. The lot of the con-
cubine Is not, generally speaking,
hard: and the position Is respectable
A cOncubine Is ordinarily taken In
default of issue from the wife. The
children of cOncubines are legitimate.
A man would not dare to brace public
opinion or the wrath of his wife anti
her relations by taking n concubine
against his wife's wishes. Father and
mother are equally venerable In the
eyes Of the child; the father Is "the
stern one" and the mother "the gen.
tie one." but both are notorously In
dulgent to their children.
