ATTEMPT TO TEST
 NEW RUM TREATY
Will Seek to Prevent Cunard Line From Bringing in Liquor

New York, Sept. 25. - In an at- tempt to test the constitutionality of the recent treaty with Great Britain permitting her ships to bring liquor into American ports, the Neptune association, an organization of American deck officers, today sought injunctions restraining the Cunard Steamship Company, Ltd, and the masters of seven of its vessels from bringing liquor within the jurisdic- ton of the United States.
 The suit which was filed in the United States district court, asks the court to compel Attorney General Stone, William Hayward, United States attorney; D. H. Blair, con- missioner of internal revenue, and Charles w. Anderson, collector of internal revenue, to seize all liquor brought into this port by British ships, regardless of the treaty which is described as violation of the Eighteenth Amendment, and the na- tional prohibition act.
 The compliments allege that the pact is unconstitutional and discrim- inatory against American ships which are not permitted to carry a supply of liquor.
 Captain John F, Killiken, secre- tary of the Neptune association, charged in the affidavit that the treaty has caused hundreds of pas sengers to travel on the British ships instead of those of American regis fry

 CAMPAIGN ROUTING
Will Speak in Five Additional
 Western States

Norfolk, Nebraska, Sept. 25.-Un- der changes in plans announced to- day, Governor c. w. Bryan, demo- cratic vice-presidcntial candidate will carry his campaign into at least five additional western states early in october and possibly make trip later that month to the east.
 Mir. Bryan recently announced that he probably would make only occasional jumps outside of Nebras- ka to enable him to keep up with affairs at the state capital. but re- quests have been so heavy. he ex- plained. that 1t was impossible in the interest of his party to decline some of them.
 Following his speech October at oberlin. Kansas, Governor Bryan has informed Senator Claude Swan son of Virginia, chairman of the democratic speakers bureau, that he would like to devote at least one day each to speeches in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming, be- fore speaking October 16 at Yank- ton, s. D.
 Senator Swanson had urged him, he said, to reserve some time for an eastern tour, especially in Ohio and West Virginia. John w. Davis, the party standard bearer also had re. quested him to speak in West Vir- ginia. No dates have been deter mined, but it was made plain that Governor Bryan probably would go as far east as Ohio.
 An invitation to speak at Cumber- land, Md, has been rejected be- cause of other plans
 Governor Bryan has telegraphed William G. McAdoo at New York, expressing his qualification over re- ports that he was ready to com mence campaign work at once," and inviting him to spend some time in Lincoln with Governor and Mrs. Bryan on his way west

 Men in African Mines

Pretoria, Union of South Africa, Sept. 25.-The mines of South Africa must do more than they have been doing in the way of employing white laborers and the government must do it's duty in preserving white civilization in South Africa, Tielman Roos, minister of justice, declared today before the national congress in session here.
 The Hertzog government, he said, had recently approached mine own CTS on the question but the latter had intimated they were not pre- pared to employ any more whites in the Rand mining industry. If the mine owners wanted to avoid a law laying down the ratio between white and negro labor, they had better realize their responsibility. he as- serted.
