Volstead Law May Be
1924 Issue in Michigan.

DETROIT. Aug. 4.-(By Associated Press )-Only the decision of Senator James Couzens not to seek reelec- tion next year can halt the gaining momentum of the Volstead law as an issue in Michigan's 1924 campaigns, according to opinion among politi- cal leaders and wet and dry adyo- cates. Divisions of the latter al. ready are in the field.
 Senator Couzens declared for en. forcement of the. yolstead law. but also for modification of it's interpre. tation of intoxicating liquor He holds that beer of less than five per cent alcoholic content is not necessarily intoxicating
 The declaration resulted in coll troversy between the senator and national officials of the Ant-Saloon League, and the state Ant-Saloon League announced it's intention of going out to "beat Couzens" The organization hopes to do it either by supporting one of the avowed can didates who is considered dry. or by putting it's own candidate into the race. 1t is indicated in present ac- tivities.
 Dry leaders assert that prohibit tion sentiment is stronger in Michi- gan now than it was in 1916, when an amendment to the state consti- tuition placing Michigan in the dry column was adopted 353.37S to 2S4.- 754. Wet proponents counter with the assertion that the rapid growth of industrial communities has stored up an immense volume of votes ia voring the repeal of the dry laws. The drys claim that the farer com munities and the larger counties. previously dry. will stay dry. The vets reply that few precincts in Detroit or the other industrial cen ters will poll more votes than entire out-state counties. and that if Sena- tor CouZens decides to run he will sweep Detroit and other manufactur- ing communities.
 Luren D. Dickinson, former Lieu tenant Governor and an active dry worker, issued warning to his fore es that the issue must be met in the primary.

LONDON, Aug. Heavily-armored steelprowed battering rams. for use in the leviathan airships now being designed. are being constructed sec retly by British aircraft experts. says the Daily Chronicles aeronautical correspondent. These new terrors of the air will be launched at an i'm mense height from the mother air ships and will rush down. guided by solitary man sitting protected within their hulls, ready to strike hostile ships or bombing planes.

SAN FRANCISCO SERVICES.

SAN FRANClSCO, Aug. 4. - Al the funeral services yesterday in the Palace Hotel, Mrs Harding, stand- ing between Mir. and Mrs. George B. Christian, Jr., as Rev. James s. West read the prayer. nodded her head slightly as the pastor raised his hand and said.
 God, Our Refuge and Strength
 As the minister ended the prayer. Mrs. Harding said Amen"
 Then she stood while half hun dred persons lead by General John J. Perehing departed from the room leaving her for few minutes alone with her dead before the body went to the station.
 The body was in drab steel cof- fin. lined with white silk. The sil- yer plate bore only the inscription Warren Gamaliel Harding"
 Floral Tributes.
 The coffin was banked with f,w- CTS while floral tributes filled the waiting room of the Presidential suite, where the simple religious ceremony was conducted.
 The Presidents sister. Mrs. l.. E. Romsberg and Attorney General Daughtcry, were the only persons coated during the rites Command CT Boone helped Daugherty into the room and from it.
 Mrs. Harding, the last to enter tho room. was on the arm of George B Christian, Jr. She continued to hold his arm as she stood in the center of the room directly in front Of the glass-covered casket.
 As Rev. West concluded his bible text and bowed his head for prayer, Mrs. Christian stepped forward and took Mrs. Harding's right arm.
 Mrs. Harding wore deep mourn ing with d black cape reaching to l her thoe tops.

LONDON. Aug. 4.-Social reform CTS as class do much moro harm than good. according to Professor Leonard Darwin. and society would improve much faster if they ceased to worry about it and let 1t go its own way.
 Professor Darwin is son of the great Charles Darwin. and it IS nat ural that he should hold strong views on the survival of the fittest and how this best can be accomplished. He says that the misguided efforts of many sincere and earnest social reformers really result in encouraging the continuance of race inferlority and deterioration, which is just the reverse of what they are trying to

TWO JURY ACTS EFFECTIVE NOW;
 ALTERS METHOD
Law Altering Drawing of Jur- les and Womens Jury
 Act Now Tn Force.

This past week two laws passed by the Territorial Legislature last Spring went into effect under which the election of juries and, 10 a cer- tain extent, the personnel of the juries themselves, is radically al tered. These are the Dimond Jury law and the so-called Womens Jury law.
 Under the former all juries, ex. cept in certain civil cases under spec fife conditions. are drawn from jury boxes containing 75 per cent. of the names of the voters, by precinct and division. This includes not only juries serving in the District Courts but also those sitting in cases in the U. s. Commissioners Courts. In civil cases. by agreement of counsel for the litigsnts. juries may be drawn in any other legal manner
 The intent and the effect of the Dimond Act is to do away with the drawing of juries on open venires. While in the District Courts jurors are seldom if ever drawn on an open venire until after the regularly sum- moned panel has been exhausted, in the Commissioners Courts up to the present time the open venire has been the only method of drawing missioners in the several precincts are required to list the voters and such other qualified persons as are known to reside therein and deposit in box ten inches in cubical con tent, three-quarters of the total list. As occasion arises for summoning jurors, the names required are pub licly drawn.
 Both Men and Women
 Under the Women's Jury Act. both men and women are equally eligible for service. Women, however, may claim sex as a ground for exemption providing the claim is made within a stated time. in the District Court. within two days after the summons for service has been received.
 In the Commissioners Courts both laws are operative at once. Judge Paine, in the local court, has already prepared his lists for use when the next case arises before him.
 The first juries to be drawn in the District Court in this Division under these two acts will sit at Ketchikan next month. and will probably be drawn within short time.
 Department Not To Question
 The Department of Justice. it was indicated today by II. s. Attorney A. G. Shoup. will not question the validity of either law. Any fight as to the right of the Territorial Legis- lature to enact such statutes, it was further said, will come from private litigants and not from the Govern ment.
 This conclusion is based on an opinion from the Department just received by the District Attorney In which it was held that the Alaska (Continued on Page TWo.) .e

have the power, by operating interior mechanism. of drawing in his tele- scopic, metal wings. Then, with a fearful final plunge, like a great projectile, he will steer, not at the hull of the craft he seeks to cripple, but at vulnerable wings or control surfaces. Through these he will cut and rip his way. and the great craft he has rammed, stricken and put out of control, will reel earthward to destruction
 The writer then says the lair ram" will extend it's wings again and check it's pell-mell descent. The pilot will be able, after starting a powerful interior engine, to bring into action previously shielded afr screws. and by aid of these he will steal upward, regaining his mother airship and then prepare for another devastating dive.

do. In a recent speech before the Eugenic Education Society. of which he is president. he dwelt upon the harm he thought social reformers were doing.
 Mate Selection" was the title of Darwin's address. He was not sure that mate selection. in the present state of society. was good for the future of the race, and urged that when the fit married the fit they tended to have smaller families, while the inferior people continued produc- ing unfit types which became more marked.

PLANS OF COOLIDGE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. - As the funeral train moved eastward, Chief Executive Coolidge devoted his at tentfon to plans for fitting services here and prepared to carry out the policies of his predecessor. He ex- poets to accompany the body to Marion and until his return to Washington, expects to devote much attention to other matters than those pertaining to the Harding funeral and burial.
 Having announced that he would dedicate himself to the task of car rying out Harding's policies, his friends and advisors believe he will make no changes in the government machinery at least for the present.
 In conference with newspapermen, Executive Coolidge let it be known that he expects the personnel of the Harding Administration to continue unchanged indefinitely. He also an- nounced that the credentials of the American representatives who are negotiating for reapproachments be- tween the United States and Mex ico, and the United States and Tur- key will be renewed immediately.
 Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of Interior Work will pro- ceed without interruption.
 Mrs Harding will have the use of the White House as long as conven- tent. The Coolidges are stopping at the New Willard Hotel.
 Chief Executive Coolidge express ed the hope that former President Woodrow Wilson would take part in the Harding funeral.
