Following tho end of this trial

waitress in a restaurant and Is Bat
tien's foster daughter. It Is charged

nldcration.

until the nation goes dry on Juno SO
and perhaps not then will tho trou

Ever since the state of Oregon was
captured by the prohibitionists traf
ficking in contraband Honors has
been carried on between San Fran
cisco and tho Columbia river ports,
more especially Astoria because of
the numerous natural advantages af
forded Tor the safe delivery of the
wet goods.
The authorities here, in their ef
forts to run down tho bootleggers.
have reached hundreds of lumber
carrying steamers and schooners, the
vessels plying regularly between San
Francisco nnd Columbia river ports
as well as the ships making occasion
al calls at these ports, their last pre
vious stop having been some south
ern port.. Their tireless efforts have
mado the path of the carrier of con
traband an anxious one, and their
efforts have brought thousands of
dollars into the municipal and coun
ty treasuries. But there has been
much of the contraband liquor which
has escaped their vigilance.
One of the favorite ways of evad
ing the authorities Is to toss the
contraband overboard at a designat
ed point at tho mouth of the river
where it is picked up by the person
in collusion with the custodian from
San Francisco to the Columbia river
port. Then it is "fished" up and
sold at from $13 to $25 a quart. The,
price 'delivered at Astoria runs from j
$90 to $120 a case, but that Is lor

WASHINGTON', May 2!!. During
discussion of retention of American
soldiers In Sllierla. tionorul March
said President Wilson had given
$S. 000. 000 from his $100,000,000
fund to tho Cecho-SloNks for their
flsht against tho Itolslievlkl, and
"later gave them another sum." Tho
uionoy was "virtually a loan," ho
said.
Tho war department's policy
toward uncompleted war projects
was termed by Secretary 'linker "of
tho greatest Importance to tho coun
try."
"Wo have proceeded generally on
tho theory that slnco tho money wus
appropriated for emergency uses, It
should not be spent on projects which
could bo left to tljo futuro," said ho,
"But while tho department is trying
to snvo ns much money as can be
saved wisely, there nro cortaln pro
jects which to complete now will bo
tho cheapest In tho end. It is on
these matters which tho department
wishes to consult congress."
Whether bodies of Amerlcnn sol
diers should bo loft In Franco was
brought up by several jiunutiers.
Secretary linker said tho depart
ment had not determined on a defin
ite policy. Personally, ha said, lib
was In favor of placing the bodies in
large nntlonnl cemeteries In France
"whore they could rest In tho land
which they died to snvo."
. "I real lie. however," ho added,
"that many fathers nnd mothers
wnat to unvoytho bodies of their sons
brought back, and I am In complete
sympathy with their wishes. How
ever, since it would be Impossible to
start uow In returning the bodies,
tho question can bo postponed." .
