BREACH OF
ETIQUETTE
IS DENIED
Officers of German Warship
Claim Beer Must Have Been
Bought at Canteen

Los Angeles, May 29--tP)-Final
decision as to what is to be done
about the alleged sale Of beer aboard
the German cruiser Hamburg in polt
at San Pedro today rests with the
state department.
Federal prohibition officials here,
who say they purchased beer with
more than four per cent alcoholic
content on the vessel recently. have
reported the matter to Washington.
They say the Incident is now out Of
their hands.
Officers Of the ship deny that there
was any breach in International eti-
quette. If beer testing more than
four per cent was sold. these officers
aver, it was sold in the canteen which
is private concession held for the
last 10 years by war veteran and
neither the German government nor
the ships commander have anything
to do with it. As for that part of the
ship outside the canteen they insist
it is the same as an embassy where
liquor may be served but not sold.
The Hamburg is ready today for d
cruise to North Pacific ports. 1t ar
rived here May II and was welcomed
with considerable ceremony as the
first German war vessel to visit the
Pacific coast since the war.

WILLIAMS GO.
COURT UPHELD
BY HIGH COURT
Action in Denying Injunction
Petition in School Board
Case Affirmed

The supreme court today affirmed
the action Of the Williams county dis
trict court in denying an injunction
petition by D. |. Todd in case in
which the school board Of the city
Of Williston and j. N. Urncss, super
of schools, were defend
ants.
Todd, who lives outside the school
district but sent his two sons to
the Williston high school, objected
ito paying special fee demanded
by the school board which contcnded
that 1t was put to extra expense by
the large number of pupils coming
there from other districts.
Todd insisted that the usual fee,
paid by the school district of which
he was a resident to the Williston
district. should be sufficient to cover
and sought an injunction to prevent
the board from dismissing his sons
because he refused to pay the addi-
tional fee.
In it's decision the court held thut
school boards must admit children
from other districts if they have
facilities sufficient to care for them
but that the governing fhOard is
vested with discretionary power to
determine if it has such facilities.
The standard tuition fee for nom
resident pupils, it held, applies only
whore the receiving district has facil-
tiles for seating and instruction and
that receiving districts may make an
additional charge to dcfray the addi-
tional expense caused by receiving
pupils from outside districts.

turcd Thursday and held for ram
som. but the fate Of the three other
Americans in the hands of outlaws
in several other sections Of the coun-

The American embassy here is still
awaiting word as to the fate Of John

mining engineer named Gallagher.
Last reports said that the bandits
IN Vera Cruz who were holding
Shanklin had threatened to kill him
Thursday night il n ransom Of 10000

In the absence Of any reports to
the embassy today regarding Shank

of the opinion that If the bandits

the news would have reached Mexico
City by this time, notwithstanding
the difficulty Of communication.
No details have been received here
concerning the release Of Briggs and
Greeley.
General Arnulfo Gomez, head Of

That they may tgather on equal
foting to permit God alone to do as
he pleases." a devout group, led by
Vernon. Ewing, will unite for an hour
in silent prayer here Tuesday morn

Ewing has extended an invitation
to all races and creeds, and thousands
of persons are expected to gather for
the prayer. The sponsor expects

come to the grove to pray.
Claiming his only interest in
prompting the meeting is for the

object. he says, is to avoid speaking,
singing or any noise that might have
"a tendency to cause nervousness on

Ericsson was "a patriot who belongs
to two countries" but 1--WE honor him
most of all because we can truly say
he was great American" President
Coolidge declared today in dedicat-
ing a monument to the man who
came to this country from Sweden
and in the critical days Of the Civil
War built the ironclad Monitor.
Speaking in Potomac Park near
the Lincoln Memorial and in the
presence of a distinguished audience,
which included Crown Prince Gustaf
Adolph of Sweden, the president said
the monument should stand as re-
minder to "our citizens of various
races that although he whose mem
ory it serves and they may have
differed in blood and race, they
were yet bound together by the tie
that surpasses race and blood in the
communion of common spirit"
"When once our feet have touched
this Sold" he added, when once
we have made this land our home,
wherever our place of birth. what
ever our race, we are all blended in
one common country. We cannot
put too much emphasis on the fact
that in this country we are all bound
together in common destiny. We
must all be united as one people.
