THREE LIQUOR FIRMS
SEEK JERSEY CHARTERS

Special Dispatch TO THn NEw YORK HrRArn
TRENTON. n. j., June 26.--There was a
momentary furry IN the office of the
Secretary of State this afternoon when
the Corporation Trust Company OF New
Jersey submitted charters for the Phil
adelphia Distliling Company. Inc. seek
ing authorization TO carry on general
distilllng business with an authorized
capital stock OF 100000: the Philadel-
phlt General Bonded Warehouse, Inc,
90 deal in liquors. 100000. and the
Philadelphia Customs Bonded War;
house. Inc, with similar objects,
100000.
1t is not the policy Of New Jersey 60
turn away corporation business, for at
this season the State needs the money,
SO after consultation the charters were
accepted and filed after there had been
added to each the words, 80 far as may
be permitted by law"
Thus the State avoided even the ap-
pearance of countenancing any prospec-
tive violation OF the law, though there Is
nothing In the charters to indicate that
any was contemplated.

They Are Signs of Opulence

PREprAL Transylvania, June 2e.--
Since Rumania wrested Transylvania
from the Austrians efforts have been
made to get the men to discard their
skirts and wear modern masculine at
tire. But they have resisted all at
tempts to deprive them OF their hand
embroidered shirtwaists and lace
trimmed petticoats. They declare that
trousers and coats are unsighuy as
we'll as .insanitary and unbecoming'
and they have given notice to the Ru-
manian authorities that they will brook
no invasion Of their traditional habits
OF dress.
In this part OF the Balkans the raj
ment of the women is no less novel
than that OF the men. The well-to-do
natives wear garments made of solid
gold coins over rich lace embroidery.
The coins are handed down to them as
helrlooms from generation to genera
tion. the number and weight OF the
gold pieces being sure token to the
outside world Of. the degree of opulence
of the wearer and an ever present in

Treasury Asks Him to Rule on

Washington. ID. c.. juno 20.
A formal request for a ruling by At
torney General Daugherty on the legal
ity of the recent Treasury decision per-
mitting al. passenger ships to carry bar
liquors II they are sealed within the
three mile limit has been forwarded to
the Department of Justice by the Treas
ury Department.
General Daugherty Is called
upon to review the law court decisions
and all regulations relating to liquor on
shps whether fer use OF in cargo in
transit through the waters Of the United
States. A general Qualification OF the
muddle caused by the stocking OF bars
on shipping board passenger vessels Is
asked.
At present Shipping Board vessels
sailing into or from United States ports
with liquor aboard as sea stores are
operatlnS within the law as Interpreted
by the most recent Treasury decision
on the subject. This decision was
against transit shipments of liquor or
any kind across the United States. but
specifically excepted liquors carried for
the use Of passengers or crews of ocean
steamships.
Specifically. the Treasury Depart
ment, through the Internal Revenue
Bureau. is asking whether any ship,
American or foreign, lawfully can bring
liquor into the United States as SEQ
stores; whether It Is permissible for a
ship with a cargo of liquor from one
foreign port to another foreign port to
stop at an American port to take on or
discharge cargo or passengers without
becoming liable for violation OF the
volstead act, and to define the Amer
lean territorial jurisdiction along both
coast lines.
