fact became known to Ausdn people

There has been genuine regret
throughout the district that Judge
Meighen resigned. He was a worthy
successor of Judge Kingsley and
Catherwood. Each of these men
had pronounced characteristics.
Judge Kingsley never forgot that he
was a Judge when court was in ses-

of court, he spent in the office. One
could set his watch by the moment
that Judge Kingsley sat down upon

FIRE RAZEs SEMINARY
Mysterious Blaze Wipes Out Girls
School

Red Wing, January 5.-Fire which
was discovered at about 10 o'clock
Tuesday evening, caused a loss es :
MATED at about $1,000 TO the girls
annex at the Red Wing Seminary.
The basement of the large frame
building was Quilted and all the
rooms suffered, from smoke and
water
The flames broke through into
the first floor a number of times
but little damage was done here it
was stated. Dense smoke poured
from the building and interferred
with the work of the firemen.
The pump on the REQ truck was
called into service and plenty of
water was secured. The fire was
the second to occur on the hill dis
trict within the past few days and
it was only the emergency pump
which prevented far more serious
losses.
The fire was a stubborn one to
fight. When it appeared as though
it had been quepched it would break
out again in another place and the
firemen had to begin their work all
over again. 1t required more than
2 hours before the flames were sub
dued.

Attorney General Daugherty upon
the prohibition amendment and en-
forcemert act were up for oral argu-
,ment in the supreme court today
Under the ruling foreign ships would
be prohibited from entering Ameri-
can waters with intoxicating liquors
in their sea stores and American
ships would be prohibited from hav
ing such liquor aboard at any place.
The case came before the court on
appeal from a decision by Federal
Judge Hand in New York upholding
the attorney general.
Expressing the belief "the use OF
liquor did more than any other one
thing to debauch and degrade our
manhood and womanhood," and that
whatever material hardship might be
the direct or indirect result of pro-
all in view of the evils to be removed
and the blessings to follow" the gov
eminent attorneys insist that it was
the purpose OF the prohibition
amendment to make the United
States absolutely dry. They also ar
Sued that this has been recognized
as the intent of the amendment and
enforcement act by the supreme
court in recent decisions under
which foreign vessels were prohibit
ed from trans shipping intoxicating
liquor in American ports, and foreign
liquor shipments in bond were for
hidden across United States terri
