I Among Nations Industries

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Lumber and
wood-using industries in the United
States represent an investment Of
$12,000,000 and employ approximately
1,000, 900 people, being first among the
nations industries in the number Of
employees and second in invested cap
ital and in the annual value of their
products, according to an estimate re-
Gently made by Frederick j. Haskin,
the we'll known writer and economic
authority. Other students differ some
what in the arrangement of these es-
Inmates but no one doubts that, next to
agriculture, the lumber and wood-us-
ing groups most vitality influence our
national life. And sharing with agri-
culture the fact that their products
are heavy, bulky and of prime neces-
sity wherever men live, lumber and
the wood-using industries are abso-
lutely dependent upon the element of
transportation as affecting the cost of
their products to consumers.
Within the past few months there
has been spontaneous and nation
wide demand for reduction in
freight rates uponthe products of the
soil and for the other fundamental
requirements Of the public, including
lumber and wood products. Lumber
men declare that the chief element in
the cost of building materials is
freight. The nation is waiting to start
upon program Of home building but
il. many places builders declare that
freight rates have enhanced material
costs to prohibitive levels.
At conference of shippers in
Washington December ID, last, a gen.
eral committee was appointed to pre-
sent the matter to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and hearings be-
fore that tribunal are being held this
week in Washington. Uniting with
lumber are representatives Of such or
ganizations as the American Farm
Bureau, Ohio State Industrial League,
American Association of Nurserymen,
National Gamers Association, Illinois
Dairymen's Association, etc. 1t is ex-
pected that the results of the hearing
will be made public within the next
few weeks.

MUCH MONEY
FOR VETERANS

Washington, Jan. 30.-The indie
pendent offices appropriation bill
carrying a total of $494, ,304, ,23s, most
of which is for use by the veterans
bureau, was passed today by the
house and sent to the senate. For
the bureau the bill appropriated
1917, ,622 and the only change in
this feature was the elimination of a
provision which would have limited
the number of camps at which train
ing schools might be established to
Camp Sherman, Ohio.
Some of the items making up the
$100,000,000 appropriations for the
shipping board came in for sharp
attack, the house defeating, III to
lit, Democratic motion to recommit
the bill for the purpose of restrict
ing the boards advertising expendi-
lures to $500,OO0. In addition to
100000 carried for advertising, the
board has available 100000, thus
giving it $1,7OO,O0O for advertising.
The motion to recommit, offered
by Representative Byrnes Demo
crat) of South Carolina, member oe
the appropriations committee, would
have eliminated also a section pro
viding for $5O,OOO,0OO for payment
of claims.
An amendment by Representative
Byrns (Democrat) of Tennessee, di-
recting that not more than six Off
GERS or employees of the board should
receive salary in excess of $11 900
was adopted, as was an amendment
by Representative Walsh (Republi-
CAM of Massachusetts,, limiting such
salaries to $4,000.
Mr.. Walsh also got through an
amendment stipulating that no part
of the appropriation should be used
by the board for publication of it's
own newspapers, bulletins or periodi-
Gals of any kind.

FINAL FORM OF
TREATY REACHED

Washington, Jan. 30.-The text OF
the five power naval treaty, to carry
into effect the capital ship settlement
the limitations placed on auxiliary
warcraft, and the "status quo" agree
ment regarding Pacific fortifcations
was pit into final form today and will
be placed before the world at plen-
ary session Of the arms conference on
Wednesday.
Final agreement on the fortifca-
tions article, for weeks the only pro-
vision of the treaty remaining incom-
plete, came after Japan had suggest
ed and other powers had agreed that
the American Aleutian islands, which
are part of Alaska, should be in
cluded in the area in which no further
Notifications or naval bases are to be
erected.
AS accepted the provision pledges
the powers to maintain in their pres

other Japanese islands stretching to
the north and south from the princi-
pal japanese group, and the British

Rodeheaver-Matthews Concert

Music lovers of Union had a rare
treat in the concert given in the High
school auditorium last evening, and
the adience showed their appreciation
in the close attention and the rounds
of applause given the performers.
Mr. Rodeheaver has a most sympa
thetic and well trained voice, and the
playing of Mr. Matthews was remark
able.
Taken all in all the concert was of
a class that goes only to the large
cities, and those who missed this
performance failed to hear something
unusually lovely and uplifting.
A neat sum was realized from the
performance for Grace Circles.

TRAIN SERVICE
BEING RESUMED

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Bright sun

much today to restore normal condi-

Atlantic. section buried under 'Satur
days severe snow storm.
Forecasts of the weather hureau
were for continuation Of the favor
able Temperatures and it was generally
believed that tomorrow night would
see complete resumption Of the ac-
tivities suspended in many cases since
the storm began Friday night The
bright sunshine in Washington al
though helpful in removing the snow
seemed to contrast strangely with the
deep gloom of spirit hanging over the
city as the result of the knickerbockcr
theater disaster.
All danger of a food shortage in the
capital passed away during the day
as train service was resumed. Normal
schedules were resumed by trains on
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio at noon and the railroads enter
ing the city from the South report ed
complete service. Officials of the
Atlantic Coast Line and Southern rail.
awys asserted first reports of DELAYS
were exaggerated.
Street car service here was not so
quickly resumed. While many lines
wers opened up today the two traction
companies serving the city stated that
i. would be late tomorrow before some
of their cars stranded since Friday
night in otlying and suburban sec.
tions cold be released and the lines
cleared for traffic.
Alarmed by the theater catastrophe
apartment house and business office
owners continued to give much atten-
tion to clearing roofs of snow and
nearly every hour brought rumors Of
the collapse of some large building.
All these rumors, however, proved
false.
Reports from Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and other cities in the path of the
storm also told of rapid restoration
Of normal conditions. Heavy seas,
however, still We're being experienced

ONLY DRUGGISTS
CAN DRAW BOOZE


liquors stored in government bonded
warehouses can not be Withdrawn by
the owners for their personal use
the supreme court today held in de-
cision delivered by Justice McKenna
and dissented to by Justice McReyn-
olds. Such liquor can only be trans
ported from the bonded warehouse
Justice McKenna stated, to whole
sale druggist for sale to him for
purposes not prohibited.
The court in previous decision
had held that owners could withdraw
from private warehouse liquor for
their own consumption or for the use
Of their family or their bona fide
guests. Today's ruling marks wide
distinction between private and bond
ed warehouses.
Justice McKenna on this point said
that "mere ownership was not the
equivalent" to possession and de-
clared that under the Volstead law,
"there must be ownership, and pos
session in ones private dwelling, and
that character can not be assigned
to the bonded warehouses Of the gov
ernment." The cases before the
court did not, he said, have the effect
of depriving those who held ware
house certificates, of their property
without due process of law nod did 1t
amount, he added, to the taking of
private property for public purposes
without just compensation.
Referring to the contention that
the prohibition amendment and the
Volstead act if applied to liquor
manufactured and lawfully acquired
before the amendment and the law
became effective would be void, as
taking from property it's essential
attributes of the right to use it, pos
sess it and enjoy it. Justice Nc
Kenna stated that the court was mot
disposed to trace the elements of the
contentious minutely, as they were
all answered by the former decisions
of the court in the national prohibi-
ton cases."
Referring to that part of the law
which permits one to use lawfully OBJ
tanned liquor in his home, Justice
McKenna asserted that this right car
not be construed to extend ..to iqouri
mot aosl situated or 70 pat It srners
pointedly, an intention to make al
bonded warehouses of the country
outbuildings of its dwellings,"
Declaring he had been in disagree
ment with the previous decision Of
the court in holding that liquor il
private houses could be lawfully
moved by owners to their residence.
for consumption, Justice McReynold,
asserted that if the doctrine lait
down by the court in that case was
good, it would permit owners to with
draw liquor from bonded warehouses
and he urged that unless the 'cour
took that view it should frankly
Withdraw its former decision. II
the present cases liquor was entrust
ed to government warehouses as per
mitted by the statute he said, but th'
owner "is denied the privilege OF
taking it home because that ware
house is not contributory to hi
dwelling nor adjacent thereto nor al
outbuilding connected herewith"
The decision grew out Of consoli
dation of four cases, all brough
against internal revenue collectors
too compel them to permit the with
drawal of the liquor. In each cas'
the decision was against the owner o
the warehouse certificate.
