RULES u. S. SHIPS
CAN'T HAUL LIQUOR
MERE PRESENCE ABOARD PRO-
HIHITED BY JUDGE HAND.
WOULD BE INCONSISTENT
Passenger Ships Form Small Part
Of Our Merchant Marine, He
Says, In Reply to ship Lines
Complain They Face Ruin.

New York.-American steamships
cannot carry or sell liquor in any part
Of the world, Federal Judge Hand held
in decision dismissing the suit Of two
American steamship companies to en-
join enforcement of the Daugherty
prohibition ruling.
Judge Hands ruling granted tenn
porary stay to westbound American
ship with liquors on board before the
date upon which the treasury ruling is
placed in effect. This stay is similar
to the one granted to foreig mines.
1T would be curious thing" Judge
Hand said, 'if country protesting un-
der its fundamental law to forbid the
use OF intoxicants was to allow them
without stint upon ships that sailed
under its flag. The only distinction
pressed is that consequences will be
disastrous to an American merchant
marine, If OF all other ships at sea ours
alone are within this ban.
"In the first place, the discrimina-
which are small part of any mer-
chant marine. The whole argument is,
however, misconceived. The 18th
amendment involves the destruction at
blow OF property values far greater
than that of the whole passenger fleet.
The motives which directed it disre-
garded ordinary commercial interests.
1t was reform based upon the belief
that the use Of alcohol was one of the
great evils of modern life against
whose utter extirpation NO present
rights OF property might stand"
The ruling was laid down in a de-
cision supplemental to the one rem
dered on Monday dismissing the appli-
cation Of foreign ship lines attacking
the validity of the Daugherty holding,
that no ship could enter or clear from
an American port with liquor aboard
International Mercantile Marine oper-
ating the American ships Finland, st.
Paul and Kroonland, asked Judge
Hand after the original decision, for
special ruling as to rights Of Amer
lean ships on the high seas. He was
joined in this request by Reid l.. Carr
Of counsel for the United American
Line.
Mr.. Heating said that Judge Hand 9
decision prohibited the mere presence
of liquor on board American ships in
any part of the world.
I'VE have not decided on our next
STEP" he said. 1--WE are considering
the advisability to make request for
a supersedeas stay, but we are nos
yet sure whether we will do that or
wait for the regular sitting Of the su-
preme court to present our appeal.
Mr.. Heating declared that 1t was
likely, however, that the decision
would be appealed. He said that If
Judge Hands ruling was sustained by
the supreme court it meant the death
knell OF American shipping as far az
passenger traffic was concerned.

MAY CAUSE
NEW TAXATION
ECONOMY CLAIMS ARE
KNOCKED SKY HIGH.
INCOME TAX RETURNS LESS
After Elections, Republicans Must Get
Down to nue-Raising-Defieit
Of Fiscal Year of 1924 May
Reach a Billion.

Washington.-An estimated deficit
OF approximately $4,000 900 for the
fiscal year of 1924. pyramided on the
$700,000,000 deficit of the present fis-
cal period, threatens to engulf the
Harding administrator economy pro-
gramme.
The impending deficit was indicated
by preliminary estimates of the Off
GERS of the budget bureau.
The problem is engrossing govern
ment financial advisers and is likely to
compel new tax raising measures by
the next congress.
Signs of this financial crisis come
at the inopportune moment, when
spokesmen for the administration are
laying claim to great economy
achievements of the Harding regime.
Failing off in the revenue of the gov
ernment is the cause behind this situa-
tion, which may force the taxpayer to
dig down still deeper in his pocket
Income and profits taxes are said to
be running s2OO,OOO,OOO behind those of
last year, while the pairing down pro-
cesses have reached the limit.
President Harding has consented to
come to the aid Of the larger army
advocates and is expected to support
of 10000 in personnel, which would
mean increased drains on the treasury
Treasury experts are not counting
too heavily upon the Fordney- -McCum-
ber tariff bill add much to the gov
ernment's receipts, since its effects
may be SO prohibitive of imports as
to result in an actual diminished reve-
nue. from the custom house.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
upon whom the responsibility rests of
making income and outgo balance, is
already preparing his annual report to
congress. Frequent conferences have
been held among administration ad-
visers in search of means to cut down
the growing disparities between in
come and expenditures.
ON July IL, last, President Harding
addressing the second annual meet
ing of the business organization OF the
government in Washington, said that
the estimated receipts for the fiscal
year of 1924 would be $600,000,000,
.Iess than the appropriations for the
current year plus authorizations for
expenditure not included IN the appro-
prfations."
Since then constant falling off in
income and profits taxes has become
increasingly apparent.
The internal revenue bureau is max
ing efforts to stem the tide by round
ing up tax dodgers. but the money OBJ
tained in this way added to any in
crease that may come through the op-
GRAFTON of the tariff will fali far from
making up the loss due to decreasing
revenue from income and profits taxes.
The question of new tax policy to
make up the revenue shortage will
probably be discussed by President
| Harding and his cabinet as soon as all
the cabinet estimates are prepared and
ready for examination by the execu-
| tive.
A revival of the luxury taxes is re
ported to be under consideration, to-
gether with other changes in the rev.
enue law.
At present the presidents chief fis'
cal advisers are not eager for the so
called nuisance taxes or any increase

sessments.

WANT ANNULLED
TRAIN SERVICE RESTORED

Towns between Huron and Pierre
are getting rather impatient over the
reinstatement of trains which were
annulled at the time the strike went
i~nto-sffect. However the strike has
been settled for several weeks. and
still there has heen no movement on
the part of the railway company to
restore the trains.
A number of commercial clubs have
adopted resolutions to bring the mat
ter Of train restoration before the
Northwestern Railway Company and
also the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
While the travelling public was pa
tient about the sacrifice in railway
service at a time when 1t was neces-
sary, there is a feeling that the com
pany may not restore service until
compelled to, hence the action on the
part OF the Commercial Clubs. The
way trains are running now would
make a deplorable condition during
the winter, unless the annulled trains
are reinstated.

a very useful thing to be in possession

attempt to exercise II until he isspre-
pared to do SO. 1t is one OF the banes
of the world that many insist on
commanding when they have no right

ority and its use Is a necessary thing.
without authority there could not be
any preservation OF the Status quo"
as the statesmen say. Nor could there
be any advancement among peoples In

But authority is not founded on law.
But the rather law is a great help to
authority provided that the authority
is true and the law Is right.
Authority cannot be delegated. IL
can only be impaired. 1t comes out OF
personality and not out OF position.
1t has been the curse OF the world
from time immemorial that persons
have tried to command because they
were put into position when they were
not fitted to command, or abused their
command. Many have forced them
selves into position OF power only to

Two Burn To Death
In Fire Near BowdIe

Bowdle, s. d., Oct. 3.-Robert Gun
dert. Is year old high school boy Of
Bowdle, persisted near here late today
in the flames OF the most serious
prairie fire in the norrnern half OF the
state In years. Jacob Bollinger, 65
years old, was a second victim OF the
fire, dying a few hours after he was
rescued by fire fighters who risked
their lives to find him.
Two casualties and six patients suf-
fering from bad burns about their
face and limbs are found In Bowdle
in the wake of the prairie fire that
swept north from Hoven, s. d., to
Bowdle, a distance OF % miles In a
five-mile strip.
The fire split, going two ways. Just
south of Bowdle. The high wind made
control of the fire impossible and the
fugitives left their homes and stock
to the mercy of the flames.
The loss rs beyond estimation but
will exceed $3.50. 900 in the total loss
of homes and stock in the path of the
flames.
Property loss includes hundreds of
acres of hay land, many stacks OF hay,
several barns, fences, a school house
and some livestock.
The flames were started, supposedly
by a spark from a locomotive, and
covered an area of approximately 80
square miles.

Arrests Made In Connection
With Death Fl. Pierre Man

Pierre, S. d., Oct. 7.-Albert Colvin,
a resident Of Fort Pierre has been
placed under arrest and his bonds fix.
cd at 500 on a charge OF murder
In connection with the death of Ro-
bert Cotton, whose mangled body was
found on the Northwestern railroad
tracks near Fort Pierre last July.
The arrest of Colvin follows the re-
turn to Stanley county from North
Dakota of A. S. Center and Robert
Turner, two other Fort Pierre boys,
who were arrested on charges of per-
jury in connection with a John Doe
proceeding on charges with the vio-
lation of the prohibitory law a short
time following the death of Cotton.
Eolton's body was found the morn
ing following a booze party held I'm
Fort Pierre which became so noisy
and unruly that a prominent woman
OF the town who resides in the vicinity
OF where the party was held filed
complaint with the county authorities.
AS a result also OF this party there
was a mass meeting held by citizens
of the town in protest to such affairs.
Shortly after Colton's body was
found there was some talk current of
foul play, the inference being that his
body had been placed on the railroad
tracks to conceal a crime, but the
general impression was that he had
attended the hootch party and was
killed while under the influence of
liquor. The capture and return Of
Center and Turner and the sudden
development resulting In the arrest
of Colvin would indicate the author
tiles have been working for some time
on the basis of a murder having been
committed.
