Widow of Noted
Explorer Sends
Body Back South

Montevideon, Feb. 1.-The report
published by the London Daily Mail
that Lady Shackleton, widow of the
noted explorer, had decided to have
her husbands body taken back to
South Georgia island for burial, caus-
ed surprise here, particularly in the
British colony, which gives the re-
port no credence.
Capt. L. Hussey, who brought the
body here from South Georgia island,
where Sin Ernest died, declined to
comment on the report. AS far as
can be learned there have been no
changes in the plans of either the
Uruguayan government or the Brit
ish colony to render honors to the
dead explorer on Feb. II, the date
fixed for the embarkation of the body
for England on the British steamship
Andes.

Italian King Is
Having Troubles
Getting Cabinet
By Associated Press)

Rome, Feb. 1.-The king is under
stood to have offered the task of
forming a new cabinet to Enrico de
Nicola, president of the Chamber
of Deputies. 1t is known that the
latter is reluctant to accept, having
refused several similar offers in the
past but he is said to be wavering
under the pressure of the mapority
groups in the chamber.
The offer is said to have been made
yesterday at one of the kings many
conferences with leading politicians
and members of parliament. It is
generally believed, however, that the
ministerial crisis will endure for
eight or ten days.
Senior Bonomi was the only former
premier received by the king yester-
day, but former Premier Giolitti,
Orlando, Nitti and Sonnino have been
invited Ito call at the Quirinal today.

Balloting Was Resumed.
(By Associated Press)


Rome, Feb. 4.-Balloting by the
conclave of the sacred college was
resumed today, the initial voting yes
terday having failed to indicate the
successor to the late Pope Benedict.
Doubt as to the color of the smoke
signals from the chimney of the Sis
tine chapel in the morning caused
some confusion, but the eagerness
with which the throngs assembled
before st. Peters was evidence that
the populace would not have been
surprised at an election on the first
ballot. insufficient tow, it seems,
was mixed with the straw in which
the ballots were burned, this result
ing in light smoke, the sign of cleo
ton.
Discretion prevails inside and out
side the vatican, and no inkling, aside
from the smoke puffs, may be gath
cred as to the activities of the con-
clave.
Ell Mundo, under the heading, "The
First Indiscretion," is the only news
paper venturing to publish a pur-
ported result of wha tthe conclave
accomplished in its first days sit
ting.
This account says that Cardinal
Gasparri and Cardinal Lualdi, arch
bishop of Palermo, were leading on
the first ballot, with Cardinals La
Fontaine and laurent next, there
being scattered votes for Cardinals
Ascalie, Lega, Ratti and Tacci-Por-
celli, All are Italian members of the
sacred college. The second ballot,
according to the newspaper, was
virtually unchanged, while the last
vote gave strong majority for Car
dinal Mistrangelo, archbishop of
Florence, many votes being lost to
Gasparri and La Fontaine.
Vatican officials who, although
not attending the conclave, are re-
puted to be best informed, say all
this is speculation. The officials,
however, are unable to say whether
four ballots are being taken daily,
or merely two.

Federal Judge Renders
Important Decision in .
Liquor Case
MAY EFFECT DRY RAIDS
Causes Much Comment
on Eve of Visit of
Raiders
(By Associated .Press)

Jacksonville, Feb. 4.-(Special to
The News. established
by Judge Henry D. Clayton in the
federal court by his decisions hand
ed down in liquor cases here that
possession is not a violation of fed
eral statutes is causing some con-
Germ among those interested in the
statewide effort that is to be made
to sop smuggling whisky through
Florida ports. In the opinion of
some it will make the work of the
prohibition officers very diff ficult,
as they will have to prove that the
whisky is held for sale or transpor-
tation.
The decision rendered yesterday
by Judge Clayton in the case of the
United States VS.. c. ]. Mayfield is
the basis of the fears expressed by
some that it will be extremely diff
cult to stop the liquor traffic to any
appreciable extent, as it is possible
for a person to have whisky in his
or her possession without violating
the federal statutes. The state law
permits any person to have four
quarts of whisky.
This decision following upon the
opinion of Judge Clayton the day
previous is of widespread impor-
tance.
1t will, it is believed, result in the
many indictments and the several
bills of information filed in this
court for alleged violation of the ma
tional prohibition act result in these
cases being nolle pressed.
In the Mayfield case, the United
States of America against C. J. May
field, the defendant was recently
convicted, whereupon his counsel, At
torney j. 7. G. Crawford, filed mo-
tion for arrest of judgment. The
defendant had admitted that he pos
sessed case of whisky, but that it
was for his personal use and that
he had never intended to transport or
sell the same.
Following the argument in the
natter of the arrest of Judgment,
Judge Clayton yesterday morning
handed down the following order:
Judge Clayton's Order.
"This cause comes on for a hear
ing on motion on rest of judgment, |
and upon consideration, it is ad-
judged that said motion is proper
and is timely made and should be
granted and it is hereby ordered by
the court sustained and allowed. 1t |
IS further ordered and adjudged that
this information in said case is not |
sufficient for the basis of a coflvic-
tion, as no charge is made as the |
law requires that the defendant has
violated any statute. Said informa-
tion is therefore dismissed out of
this court and the defendant will go
hence.
"It appears from said informa-
tion that nothing is charged except
the bare possession of intoxicatino
liquor. In the view l have taken of
this question fully expressed in the
case of the United States against
Bowling ct al, No. 1424, this in
is not sufficient to base
upon, and for that and
other good and sufficient reasons
made known to the court, the in
is ordered dismissed and
IS held for naught."
