Coulee City Gets
First State
Liquor Store
Neihart Drug Store Will Act
AS Vendor Until Business
Warrants Own Store

Coulee City is to have a state
liquor store in the very near
future. w. j. L ndberg. mem
bar of the Washington State
Control Board. was in the city
the first of the week comforting
with local business men as to a
suitable place to place the liquor
or sale. For the present the
liquor stock will be put in the
Neihart drug store. Later on
perhaps in a month or two. if it
is found that the volume of bust
ness warrants regular liquor
store, a location in the business
district will be leased or pur-
chased.
According to Mr.. Lindberg.
no liquor store will be located at
Grand C~ulee or in any of the
towns in the damsite area.
Ephrata is the only other town
in the county which will bsfsel-
ected for the location of a Iiquor
store. This will give the Coulee
City branch a large territory to
to draw from. There is no
question but what the 70 ume of
business will be sufficient to
warrant the establishment of q
regular state liquor store. The
location of such a store in Coulee
City is sure to discourage boot
Logging in this section.

OMAHA, Nebr., October 3-Rev.
Theo Shepard, 80, tossing aside Army
discipline to follow the dictates of his
conscience, has resigned as chaplain
of the C. C. C. camp at Fort Crook,
near here.
His resignation from the Oficers'
Reserve Corps, under which he held
the post of chaplain, followed the in
sistence of his commanding officer
that he attend a dance, Mr.. Shepard
said yesterday after he had told the
officer his conscience would not let
him attend
Eighteen months ago Mr.. Shepard
joined the Officers Reserve and last
August was appointed district chap
lain of the C. c. c. He was assigned to
Fort Crook for training. On Sundays
he preached at Fort Crook, then drove
30 miles TO serve his paStorate at the
First Presbyterian Church at Humbolt,
Nebr.
Three weeks ago Col. T. M. Ander-
son, commanding officer, informed him
he was to be in charge of Saturday
night dance, Mr. Shepard related. He
refused to attend.
A trial was ordered. 1t lasted three
days. Mr.. Shepard said. before an
officers suggestion that he be allowed
to resign was accepted.
From my experience" he said to-
day, L would say that chaplains are
not allowed to be real pastors In the
Army-they are under the thumbs of
their commanding officers. and church
and conscience mean nothing at all. "

JAPAN DUE TO END |
NAVY PACTS SOON
Yamamoto, on Way to Par

New Plan Held.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, October 3.-Rear Ad-
miral Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese
delegate to the preliminary World
Disarmament Conferences, said yes
terday that Japan will soon notify the
United States and England Of its de-
cision to abrogate existing naval
treaties and suggest new naval plan
based on "a minimum Of arms neces-
sary for preserving the sense of ma
tional security"
Notice of our desire to abrogate the
treaties may give rise to a considerable
sensation in the United States" he
said, "but when Japan submits its dis
armament proposal and America and
Great Britain understand the real rea-
son for abrogation, any trouble that
may arise in our relations with the
two countries will soon subside. feel
confident the arrangement will be
only temporary.
Want Offensive Arms Cut.
"Japan's reason for asking abroga-
ton is based on the belief that the
Washington treaty established a ratio
according to naval forces happening
to be in possession of the three ma
tions at the time. That system does
not tend to maintain world peace on a
permanent basis.
For the future we want offensive
armaments reduced as much as pos
sible. Our ideal is that nations should
be permitted to possess arms sufficient
to guarantee national safety and that
none should possess such armaments
as may constitute a menace to an
other"
Questioned on Maneuvers.
Questioned about the japanese feel
ing as to the proposed United States
naval maneuvers in Alaskan waters
next year, and Army and Navy sur
veys Of Alaska and the Aleutian
Islands this year, Admiral Yamamoto
replied:
"Of course the japanese are inter-
ested in United States Fleet maneuvers
in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands,
but that is not TO say We pay undue
attention to such matters We feel
the United States Navy activities there
are only within its natural rights. Our
navy thinks it is wise for the United
States to study such things
There is no trouble between Japan
and Russia, he said, that cannot be
settled without war.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, October 3.-A proposed
increase in Philippine tariffs designed
to protect Philippine free trade with
the United States will be deferred at
least until next year. it was learned
from authoritative sources yesterday.
The Japanese foreign office spokes-
man had said the increased tarin
rates might affect adversely the
friendly relations between Japan and
the United States" The japanese
government had instructed its repre-.
Sentatives to state to authorities at
Washington and Manila that trade
between Japan and the Philippines,
recently rapidly increasing. may be
virtually killed"
Both Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy and
Manuel Quezon, president of the
Philippine Senate, however, had urged
! that insular tariff rates be raised upon
| goods from other countries than the
United States.
| What is behind the change in plans
has not been disclosed, but some cir
cles think it likely the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration, to which the proposed
increase of tariff was referred, advised
against such action at this time in
view of the scheduled visit of the Tyd-
| ings Commission late this year to
make a survey Of the Philippine eco
nomic conditions.
