HOW MUCH BOOZE

SECRETARY MELLON ISSUES
LIQUOR REGULATIONS
RELUCTANTLY.
DOCTORS CANNOT. PRESCRIBE
FOR OWN PERSONAL
CONSUMPTION.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon has
held off as long as possible from making
regulations for whisky and beer under
medical prescription in the hopes that
Congress would pass a law defining the
amount Of liquor to be dispensed by
physicians and druggists. He finds he
cannot lawfully wait any longer and he
has issued regulations which are now
being vigorously criticized by both
sides.
The regulations require the sale of
beer. in bottles only which shall be la
beled with the name of the manufac-
turer and the legend 1For medicinal
purposes only. Sale or use for other
purposes will cause heavy penalties
to be inflicted

FARM help KILLS
SELF BY HANGING
VIM. REESE is FOUND DEAD IN
HERM. PoEHLER's BARN
AT coURTLAND.
TOOK ROPE USED AS A SWING
IN r. w. ZIMMERMAN
HOME THERE.

herman POeh1er, Well-knOWn resi-
dent of Courtland village, had an ex-
perlence, Saturday morning, which he
does not desire to have repeated very
soon. Upon entering his barn at
about s o'clock, while it was still dark,
he suddenly bumped into an innate
object, apparently suspended from
one of the rafters, which hung in the
aisle. After recovering somewhat
from the fright, Mr.. Poehler investigat-
ed more closely and found the object
to be the body of man, who had
evidently committed suicide by hang
ing.
VIM. Reese, the Victim.
1t was soon determined that the dead
man was William Reese, farm hand,
who had frequented Courtland village
and vicinity for some years past. The
body was cold and stiff, having been
suspended in the barn greater part of
the previous night, according to facts
which were ascertained later. Mr..
Poehler notified Deputy Coroner A. M.
Anderson at ST. Peter, who with Sheriff
Charles Norman drove over to Court
land for an investigation. This re-
vealed that Reese had committed
suicide by hanging.
Purloined the Rope.
Friday evening at about o'clock,
Mrs. r. w. Zimmerman, wife of the
Well-knoWn Courtland merchant, heard
someone ascend the stairs to the family
living rooms over the store. She did
not go out into the hall to investigate
and failed to hear the man descend
the steps again. Next morning it was
found that a half-inch rope, which
had been used as swing in a vacant
upstairs room by the Zimmerman
children, was missing, and it was later.
learned that Reese had purloined this
rope to commit suicide. He doubled
the rope to make sure that it would not,
break as a result of the strain, as he
was stockily built.
Was Seen Thursday.
* Reese had been to the Ed. Baumann
farm, some six or seven miles north of
Courtland village, Thursday, and
asked Mr.. Baumann for permission to
stay with him and work for his board
during the winter months. The fore
mer had already engaged a hired man,
however, and informed Reese to this
effect, who then left the Baumann
farm and walked toward Courtland
village, where he arrived during the
afternoon. Nothing was seen of him
all day Friday, and it is presumed that
he spent the day in the Poehler
barn, planning and preparing for his
desperate act.
Had No Funds.
A search of the pockets of Reese's
clothing failed to reveal any money,
and it is believed that he was penniless
and committed suicide in despera ton,
as he had no home and no place to go.
When found, he had on overalls, a
jacket, a cap and a pair of canvas
gloves. The body was fully clothed,
including shoes and stockings.
Born in sibley County.
Reese was born in Arlington town
ship, Sibley county, in 1874, being AZ
years Of age at the time of his death.
He was a brother of Mrs. Charles
Evers. South Broadway, this city, and
of Mrs. August Havemeier, Courtland
township. The remains were inferred
in the City cemetery here, Saturday
afternoon.

{ VANDALSso ON RAMPAGE.

While John Bluehm, residing on
South Minnesota street, was up town,
Friday night, someone broke the lock
off the door Of his summer kitchen,
entered the house and appropriated 4
quantity Of wearing apparel belonging
to Mr.. Bluehm's deceased wife. These
articles were scattered around on the
prairie near the Bluehm home, where
Mr.. Bluehm gathered them up the
next morning. As yet he has been
unable to learn the identity of the van
dals, but hopes that this will be ac-
sconphshed soon.

Liners Report Heavy
Travel to South Europe
Many Third Glass Passengers
Return Home. Unable to
Find Work Here

Unusually heavy traffic Of third class
passengers for southeastern Europe IS
reported by steamship lines running
to and from Mediterranean ports. The
Belvidere, of the Cosulch Line, which
arrived here yesterday with only five
passengers in all cabins, already has
booked more than 1000 for the return
Other lines report similarly heavy east
ward bookings.
Total arrivals of third class imm-
grants between January l and August
is is said to equal 299 600, as against
225,000 departures for the same period.
Shipping officials said the heavy out
ward travel is an indication of the
slump in industrial conditions in Amer
lea, and is proof that the labor market
is international in its character. Fail
ing to find employment here. thou
sands who lately rushed to America are
now leaving the country, it was said.

Grating reality and not fleet Of idle
deteriorating red hulls
Private ownership Of government
tonnage should be established as soon
as practicable in accordance with the
provisions OF the Jones act. Private
ownership must not return to the mo-
nopolistic control by a few large com
panies. Any plan Of charter to sue.
coed must afford reasonable posi-
olllty OF making a profit, or at least OF
coming out whole. Profit sharing must
be the principle underlying any per
manent plan adopted No plan Will
work under present depressed world
conditions unless adjusted temporarily
To meet such conditions.
Competition on trade routes, either
between government owned ana pri-
Nate'y owned American shivs CT be-
tween government owned ships op-
Grated by different companies, should
be eliminated to prevent overberth
ing. Only honest and efficient opera
tors who sincerely desire to ultimately
purchase tonnage should be retained
Trade routes must not be DESTROYED
or crippled by indiscriminate tying up
Of ships.
Urges Tramp Ship Routes
Tramp ship service is the backbone
of any merchant marine, and should be
so recognized. A fixed number of ships
should be distributed to each efficient
tramp operator to be maintained while
LAID up and to be kept ready for i'm
proved business conditions. Revise all
laws and regulations unfairly hamper
ing American shipping and remove all
unnecessary administration restraints
Charge to the war the excessive costs
due to war emergency"
In addition to these suggestions from
the operators the board has in hand
recommendation Of the American
steamship Owners Association. sub

under consideration by the vice-presi-
dents of the Emergency Fleet Corpora

definite solution of the charter prob
lem within three weeks.
Meanwhile the idle fleets on both
coasts are being increased with ships.

question of the ALLEGATION of govern

speculation as to what effect the atti
tude or the United States Ship Operat
ors' Association would have on the
boards apparent determination to do
away with the form of contract under
which vessels have been assigned and
substitute therefor a bare boat cbarte,,

AS was expected, the remedies sur

Dissenting Views Aired
The views Of the operators on the
Tuo5ecC were expressed to Chairman
Lasker through Charles H. Potter.
president Of the association, which is
SAID to represent the substantial on
orators on all coasts of the country. In
opposing the idea of the board to put
the bare-boat charter system into effect
Mr. Potter asserted that such a method
would be impractical under present con-
ditlons, pointing out that its applica-
tlon would tie UP ships, turn them over
to irresponsible charterers willing 20
gamble on futures, or concentrate them
IN tho hands Of few large operators.
BESIDES attacking the CONTEMPLATED
charter contract, the operators con-

From The T,l5une's Nashinoton Rureau


WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-A con-
certed effort on the part Of business
organizations in all parts of the coun-
try to preserve the American merchant
marine through the establishment and
maintenance of foreign trade routes, is
suggested by the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce in q letter received here
by the National Merchant Marine AS
ISOLATION. The proposal will be con-
sidered by representatives of the ex-

sociation at meeting here next
Wednesday,
Particular consideration will be
given to the suggestion of the Cincin-
natl Chamber that representatives OF
the marine association participate in
conferences to be held in the indus
trial and the agricultural centers Of
the middle West to promote the well
fare Of the merchant marine.
Troubled by Reports
1--WE have recently been much sur
rrlsed and troubled by great amount
CT publicity which has emanated from
W ashlngton. tending to undermine
public confidence in the Shipping Board
and in the future of an American mer-
chant marine and tending to lessen
the spirit of cooperation between the
shlppers and manufacturers of the in
terror and the board" the Cincinnati
Chamber wrote. This, it seems to US.
is particularly unfortunate, coming. as
1t does, Just at the time when our
world trade and our merchant marine
require the most substantial backing
by our government and our people in
order to maintain it against foreign
competition, and in the face of in
creased activities on the part of for
elgn countries for the stimulating Of
their foreign trade and their own mer-
chant marine.
We have also been led to believe
tnat the Shipping Board is contemplate
ing a policy Of laying up ships and Of
possibly interfering with the continu-
ance or establishment of the trade
routes provided for specifically by the
Jones act
Would Maintain Trade Routes
