ARRESTED FOR
RUNNING WATER
WITHOUT NOZZLE
"John R. Allen was arrested by
Chief of Police Ilittson Wcdneseliiy
on n clinrgn of permitting water fo
run thru nn open hose nt his "nomc
on Rose avenue. The warrant for
arrest irns sworn out by City Attor
ney P. W. Mears at the direction of
City Water Superintendent Arn
spifrcr. Before Police Judfje Taylor Allen'
pleaded not (riiilty and his henrinjr
was set for 4 p. in. yesterday, hut
nt that hour Judge Tayior continued
the hearing, because of the absence
from the city of E. A. Rcaines, altor
ney for Allen, until 10 a. m. next
.Wednesday.
The violation of the ordinance was
first reported several days ago and
Jlr. Allen was notified by the police
to appear before Judge Taylor to
answer to the ehap'o. This he re
fused to do, basing; his refusal on
the ground that he had only done
"what everyone else is doins." The
wan-nut was then sworn oiit and
served
Superintendent Arnspiger nsks the
water-using public to avoid all ap
pearance of using oiwn hose.
Jinny people, Arnspiger says, have
the habit of tuking short pieces of
liose and sliding tliein over the nuzxle
of the hose they are using to irri
gate, so as to prevent the water from
cutting into the ground. Their neigh
bors and paxsersby on seeing the wa
ter running out of the hose piece over
the nozzle of course think that ihcy
are. running water thru open hosj in
violation of the eily ordinance.
"I was fooled myself several dnvs
ago in passing by a yard by just
such n contrivance," said Jlr. Arn
spiger." "And Mr. Allen has no doubt
seen a number of such contrivances
and that's what influences him piob
ably to suy that be is only doing what
everybody else is doing.
"The water using public should
nvoid even the npcnrnnce of violat
ing the ordinance in this regard. If
they want to prevent the water from
the hoze nuzzle cutting into the
jjrtmnd they should place I lie nozzle
iu a gunny sack."

WASHINGTON, July 19. With
America In the midst of heated debate
over the prohibition Issue as a war
measure, "wets' and "drys" are arm
ing themselves with ammunition from
European experience with the drink
question.
Neither side has complete informa
tion, but here Is gathered as complete
an outline of European war measures
relating to King Alcohol as can be bad
In America.
England.
In February tbls year an order was
Issued by the food controller practi
cally preventing further use of food
grains for malting purposes. The
maltsters bad quite a large stock of
malted barley on hand and the Jjrew-
ers were permitted to use tbls. It was
estimated this would last until No
vember this year. On or before that
date new regulation will have to be
put In effect, else the brewers will
have to close down. The average
peace time barrelage of beer in Eng
land used to be 38,000,000. This
was reduced early In the war to 26,
000,000 barrels and now has been cut
to 10.000,000 barrels. All barley, that
is, unmalted, bus been put under gov
ernment control. It is being used to
'stretch" wheat flour; that is, all
cereal flour must have at least 10 per
cent and may have as much as 30 per
cent barley flour added.
France.
All plants that distill alcohol from
grain have been commandeered by the
government and the alcohol Is used in
manufacture of high explosives. Im
portation of alcohol and liqueurs into
France Is forbidden. This does not
apply to rum made in the French
West Indies. Vine and cognac are
still made from grapes. The French
soldiers are allowed wine in their
dally rations nnd the war ministry
requisitions millions of gallons to In
sure this supply.
Itussln.
Under the czar manufacture of
vodka, a highly alcoholic drink in
which the government had a monop
oly, was absolutely discontinued. The
only alcohol allowed was for manu
facture of high explosives. Kvas, a
beer with only one and one-half per
cent alcohol, was allowed. In the Cau
casus, TronB-CaucasIa and Russian
Central Asia, where the local popular
demand was for wine of the country
Instead of Russian tea, the Bale of the
vintage was allowed. However, It
was not permitted to ship this wine
to other parts of the empire unless by
special permission.
Italy.
Hero, as In France, alcohol distilled
from grain is used by the government
In manufacture of explosives. Wine
is still made and forms part of tbe
regular rations of the soldiers,
(crinany.
The government has prohibited the
use of more than 40 por cent of the
barley for malt (bat the brewers used
to employ. The earlier restriction
was to 60 per cent. With tbls 40 per
cent of malt, the breweries are now
preparing about 65 por cent of their
former output of beer. The result Is
the beer Is now diluted to about 3 per
cent of alcohol. The government also
prohibited uho of sugars; saccharine
had to be substituted, lleer is sup
plied the soldiers as part of their
rations. Germany has abolished the
manufacture of whisky and all alco
holic spirits for beverage consump
tion. Wine Is being made as usual.
Austria-lliiiignry.
So far as any information has been
received -and It is very slight re
strictions practiced In (lerinany have
been Imitated to some extent and the
hours of sale largely limited. Hun
garian wines are being made as usual.

first call to provide for probable ex
emptions. That means that 1,374,000
men will be notified to appear before
examination within the next few days.
If more are necessary, they will be
called for as needed by the local
boards in the order provided for in
the drawing.
In some districts tbe 100 per cent
allowance for exemeptlon may be too
large, and in others too small, but
tbe local boards will be Instructed in
calling for men until the district quo
ta is filled. Bach state governor is
now allotting to his districts their re
spective portions of the state's quota.
In each of the 4557 examination dis
tricts among which the ten million
registration cards have been divided,
tbe cards have been given serial num
bers. The number of registrants in
each district varies from about 185 in
tbe smallest to more than 10,000 fta
tbe largest, so that tbe serial num
bers to be dealt with In the drawing
range from one to between nine and
ten -thousand.
Master Key Devised.
In order to reduce the mechanical
process and make it possible for tbe
1000 numbers drawn to reach every
man in every district, a so-called mas
ter key has been devised.
This will be obtained by drawing
slips numbered from naught to ten.
which will be listed In the order tbey
are drawn to form the key.
Then will begin tbe drawing of the
numbers one to one thousand.
For the district with not more than
one thousand registrants, there will
bo no problem to determine tbe order
of appearance before the exemption
board. The number drawn first will
fix the man whose card bears that se
rial number as the first to appear be
fore his board. In tbe district with
only 185 registrants the 185 will be
liable for appearance in the order in
which their numbers are drawn and
when a number blgher than that ap
pears the district, of course, will not
be affected. t
How It Is Applied.
Application of tbe master key
makes It possible to apply fairly each
of the one thousand numbers drawn
to district with more than 1000 regis
trants. As a number is drawn it wilt
be added to each of the thousands In
excess of the one thousand in each
district.
SCRAP OF PAPER REMARKS
CLINGS TO CHANCELLOR
PARIS, July 19. "Ono thing is
certain, and that is that Emperor Wil
liam wants to get rid ot a man who
trailed after him unpleasant recollec
tions of the day preceding tbe war,"
Jules Cambon, general secretary of
the ministry of foreign affairs, said to
the Associated Press today. "This
was the man to whose name remains
riveted the historical words: 'A scrap
of paper' that are unforgettable.
"The emperor doubtlesB thought,"
added M. Cambon, "that by sacrific
ing Chancellor von Bethnmnn-Itoll-weg
ho would make easier the task of
the peace negotiations, but whatever
happens, Germany will make Its war
chancellor a scapegoat for Its own
faults and its own crimes.
Mlchaclis in Dual Itvdo
"Herr Michaelis seems to bo of the
type of disciplined, brutal, Prussian
functionary, a liberal, so long as he Is
not In power, but conservative as
soon as he is charged with public
functions. He will doubtless try, ac
cording to tbe method familiar to tbe
Cormans, to practice contradictory
policies, supporting von Hlndenburg
and von I.udendorff and the military
party energetically on tho ono hand,
and trying, on the other, to flatter the
socialists and the pacifist elements In
Germany.

Keeping the family well in war
time means routing the mosquito,
for he preys on the human army
itself, and not on its qunrtennaster's
department.
Do away with stagnant water, in
pools, bottles, old cans, rain barrels,
eaves, gutters.
Use crude oil on all stagnant ponds
that cannot be drained, to extermi
nnte young mosquitoes.
Burn cones of pyrctlirum powder
to stupefy mosquitoes.
Keep beds and baby carriage cov
ered with netting.
Use camphor, lemon juice, oil of
peppermint or pennyroyal, or citro
nella to repel bayonet attacks by the
mosquito squad.
Best remedies nt the field hosptal
for mosquito victims are moist soap,
ammonia, alcohol or gycenn.
MINERS FLOCK TO WORK '
IN ARIZONA CAMPS
BISBEE. Ariz., July 19. Miners
are coming Into the Warren district at
the rate of fifty a day to find work In
the mines and mills of this copper
camp. They are coming from Texas,
Oklahoma, Michigan and other sec
tions and are applying for employ
ment after being examined by the In
vestigating board of citizens here.
Every precaution is being taken by
Sheriff Harry Wheeler and his 150
active deputies to prevent any active
I. W. W.'s members from getting back
into the district and finding employ
ment, where they could start labor
agitation. Every road and trail lead
ing into this dlstriot is picketed and
tonight tiie deputy sheriffs at the out
post stitlons were told by the sheriff
to use every possible vigilance to pre
vent the return of men classed as
'linuetlrables," and to personally con
duct all persons to the dispensary,
where tbe investigating board is In
session every day. I
WOODEN SHIPS TO EARN
PROFITS FRO MALLIES
NEW YORK, July 19. In reply to
the suggestion that the nations allied
with the United States assume a
share In paying for wooden ships that
would virtually be useless In trade
service after the war, William Den-
man, chairman of the United States
shipping board, expressed tbe opinion
that freight earnings of the wooden
ships during tbe war would more than
pay for their construction, according
to correspondence made public here
today.
The suggestion was made in a tele
gram sent to Mr. Denman by P. H. W.
Rosi, representative here of the Nat
ional Mercantile league, an organiza
tion to extend American shipping.
"The theory on which your tele
gram is based," said Mr. Denman in
reply, "Ignores the fact that the ship
is paid for before its freight earnings
and the freight is paid for by the con
sumer. Insofar as the wooden or
other ships serve the allies, they will
be paid for by the allies.
