SHORTER TYPHOID 1 i June White and Clearance Sales PROHIBITION BEGINS PERIOD PROMISED Ablest of Attorneys Matched in Trial of Validity in Washington. OTHER BIG ISSUES CREATED Objections So Fundamental That if Antls Are fpheld It May Mean Initiative, Referendum, Recall v and Suffrage Will Fail. CL.YMPIA. Wash., June 15. (Spe cial.) The Washington prohibition law. adopted by vote of the people last November and due to become effective next January 1, underwent its first legal test today in the Thurston Coun ty Superior Court, when the M. & K. Gottstein case, attacking the validity of the prohibition statute, when to trial on its merits before Judge D. V. Wright. So fundamental are the objections of the opponents of prohibition to the validity of the law that if their stand is upheld, It may mean also that the Initiative, referendum and recall will be held invalid, and possibly that wo man suffrage, never yet tested In the hiRher courts, will fail. The present hearing, to which two days have been assigned. will be merely a preliminary to a hearing in the Supreme Court, as the losing side is certain to appeal- Monday, Octo ber 11, the opening day of the Fall term, already has been set tentatively lor the hearing in the Supreme Court. Ablest Attorneys Matched la Cane. Some of the ablest attorneys in Washington are engaged in the trial of the Gottstein case. Harold Preston, former State Senator and author of the Washington workmen's compensation law. is senior counsel for the liquor men, and associated with him are George W. Donworth, of Seattle; Dudley G. Wooten, former Texas Rep resentative, and T. D. Rockwell, former state tax commissioner, representing the brewery and hotel interests. Attorney-General Tanner, defending the state officers against whom the Gott stein suit is brought, is counsel of record for the defense, with John H. Powell, of Tacoma, retained by the Anti-Saloon League, and L. L. Thomp son associated with him. The chief objections raised are that the initiative and referendum amend ment to the Washington constitution, under the terms of which the prohibi tion measure was submitted, never was adopted legally by the people, on ac count of insufficient publication. Irregularities Are Charged. Publication in a paper in every coun ty of the state is required for 13 weeks before the election and it is shown that in several counties this publication ceased one. two, three or four weeks before the election. Similar irregulari ties can be urged against the recall amendment and probably the woman suffrage amendment. Somewhat similar failure of publica tion is charged against the prohibition measure itself, on account of the failure of the Secretary of State to place the election pamphlet in the hands of voters 50 days before the election and the failure of some county auditors to include the prohibition measure in their call for election. A possible chance for appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States also is raised by question of the alleged Interference of the prohibition law with interstate commerce. . .

FINE GIFT RECEIVED Speaker's Daughter Remem bered by House Members.

June 15 Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of the Speaker of the House of Representa tives, is to be married June 30 to James M. Thomson. As a token of their love and in a de sire to express their best wishes, the members of the House of Representa tives have presented an exquisite dia mond necklace to the charming June bride-to-be. The aggregate weight of the necklace is 17 karats. The necklace, which is considered as separate from the pendant, consists of 85 diamonds, which are set in a way to express the quality of simplicity. The inspiration of the designer is elaborate ly expressed in the pendant, which is a large pear-shaped diamond immedi ately surrounded by a Greek key pat tern of almost microscopic minuteness. This inner intricate ornamentation Is surrounded by a regular and simple pyriform of larger diamonds, a treat ment that brings the retaining outline into harmony with the essential sim plicity of the necklace proper. One of the unique features of this necklace is the bride's initials in paved diamonds, which form the connecting link between the necklace and pendant. The inscription on the jewel case reads: "This necklace and cabinet presented to Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of the Speaker, by the members of the House of Representatives. In the 63d and 64th Congresses, with their love and best wishes on her marriage to Mr, James M. Thomson June 30, 1915." TURKS' TRENCHES TAKEN BRITISH REPORT SITUATION FA VORABLE BUT DIFFICULT.

LONDON, June 15. The followin at the Dardanelles was given out here officially today: The situation on the Gallipoli pentnsula -has developed into trench warfare. After our success on the 4th instant the Turks have evinced a great respect for our offensive and by day and night they have to submit to captures of trenches. "On the night of the 11th and 12th two regiments or a British regular bri gade made a simultaneous attack on the advanced Turkish trenches and after severe fighting, which included the killing of many snipers, succeeded in maintaining themselves in spite of bombs, in the captured positions. on tne morning oi tne i3tn a coun ter attack was made by the Turks, who rushed forward with bombs, but com ing under the fire of the naval ma chine guns squadron were annihilated. Of the 50 who attacked 30 dead bodies were counted In front of that part of our trenches. "The situation is favorable to our forces, but Is necessarily slow on ac count of the difficulties of the ground. The Turkish offensive has sensibly weakened." There have been so many rumors re cently that the allies had forced the Dardanelles that Sir James IL Dalziel asked Premier Asquith today In the House of Commons if -there were any truth in such reports. none whatever, was the reply. The Premier said that it was not in the public interest to say anything now about the Dardanelles. "The operations are of the highest importance," he added, "and they will be pushed to a successful conclusion." COURT GRANTS IMMUNITY Ex-Director Billard, of New Haven Line, Will Not Stand Trial. NEW YORK, June 15. The Federal District Court today granted Immunity to John Ik Billard, ex-director of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road Company, who was indicted with 20 other directors, past and present, for alleged criminal violation of the anti trust -law.

Mellen. then presi dent of the New Haven road; President (Jhamberlln, of the Grand Trunk Rail way Company, and Chairman Smithers on charges of conspiracy. The court denied the Government's motion that -a judgment of conviction be entered against Edward D. Robbins, a director, and ex-counsel of the New Haven road, because of the overruling ' r. ituuoma piea in bar to the in dictment. This, it was assumed, would result In Mr. Robbins entering a plea " ie indictment ana standing trial. Dr. Rupert Blue Pleads for "Rat-Proofing-" Cities as Best Meas ure Against Plague; Tbor ' ougn. Work Necessary. SAN FRANCISCO. June 15. Success ful experiments with a new weapon against typhoid fever, a "sensitized vaccine sediment," . were described to day by its discoverer. Dr. F. P. Gay, head of the pathology department in the University of California, before the 12th annual convention of the American Society of Tropical Medicine. Dr. Gay said he hoped to develop the new cure to effect cures within a week in 50 per cent of cases treated. His experiments in 14 local cases, he said, showed cures in 35 per cent of them In seven to 10 days. "In the more than 3000 years that plague has been known, it has been atributed variously to evil spirits, di vine wrath, errors of diet, noxious winds and astronomical phenomena, but today the recognition of plague as a rodent disease has insured its eradica tion from cities and urban communi ties," said Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service. "Rat-Proofing;'' Declared Best. Speaking on the subject of "Plague Preventive Measures, Their Develop ment and Present Status," Dr. Blue pointed out that "in any event anti plague measures are difficult and ex pensive, but they pay not only from health but from commercial stand points." 'Rat-proofing," said Dr. Blue, "is the best and most permanent anti-plague measure, but it is not practically adapted to most' places outside the United States. In the United States and its possessions of the thoroughness of enforcement of this measure is re sponsible in large part for the continued freedom of San Francisco and the bay cities from the infection, for the de cline and cessation of the infection in Porto Rico, for the continued practical freedom of the Philippine Islands from plague, and for the practical eradica tion of the disease from New Orleans." In the discussion of the paper which followed. Assistant Surgeon-General Rucker, of the United States Public Health Service, gave a resume of the work performed under his direction in the City of New Orleans since July last. Extenlre Work Accomplished. He pointed out that from that date to May 15, 35.212 buildings, more than 50 per cent of the total number in the city, had been rat-proofed, 33.000 nui sances had been abated and 350,000 ro dents captured in traps. He estimated that counting .those buildings which were already rat-proof, there were onlv about 17.000 buildings in New Orleans in which rat-proofing remained to be completed. The rodent population, ac cording io xjr. ttuciter, nad been re duced at least 80 per cent. "So far as human beings are con cerned. New Orleans has been plague free since October last," said Dr. Rucker. "It is true that plague rats have been found as recently as May 17, but the great diminution In the rodent population and the abolition of rodent narDonng places will eventually con trol the disease. Some opposition to tne entorcement of the rat-proofin ordinances has been . met In certain quarters, but inasmuch as both the Federal courts and the SuDreme Court of the state have upheld the validity inese ordinances, tney will be com pletely enforced to the end that New urieans may become entirely rat-proof, a veritable 'City Sanitary." " , NOBILITY IS AT FRONT ITALIAN ARISTOCRACY GENERALLY VOLUNTEERING FOR WAR. FIRST SUBMARINE SOUGHT Holland's Original Invention to Be Raised From River. PATERSON. N. J.. June 15. Men working with poles probed the bottom of the Passaic River here today in a searcn ror the nrst submarine built by John P. Holland, the inventor. Holland's first boat was not equipped with motive power, but was towed by horses. It was tested in the Passaic River with Holland and several school boys on board, and remained under water several minutes. This test gave Holland new ideas, and, deciding that it would be easier to build a new boat than to equip the old one with im provements, he scuttled his first craft; The Paterson Chamber of Commerce now wishes to place the submarine on exhibition, and Is promoting the search for it.
