Seattle, grand master of the masons of

rived here yesterday from the west
ward, who is on an official tour of
the local lodges of that order in the
territory. He has been to the west
ward, where he was royally received

JAMES HOWARD BEGG
but no town gave him any more cor
dial welcome than he is receiving
here. Mr. Begg is a man of pleasing
personalty, whose affability makes a
lasting impression upon all who come
in contact with him.
During his stay in Cordova he will
be shown all the pleasure and scenic
spots of this section including a trip
to Miles and Childs glacier, fishing
on Eyak lake and pleasure jaunts on
the bay. There will also be several
social affairs given in his honor. A
special meeting of Mt. McKinley lodge,
No. 183, F. and A. M. will be held on
Thursday and Saturday evenings and
on Friday evening the Masons and
Order of Eastern Star will jointly hold
an informal reception for Mr. Begg.
Our distinguished visitor will be
here for the balance of the wreek,
leaving on the steamer Alameda for
Southeastern Alaska, wrhere he will
visit the lodges at Juneau, Douglas,
Skagway and Ketchikan, and where he
will also be extended many social
courtesies and outings.
“A PERFECT LADY” AT
THE EMPRESS TONIGHT
And then came the purity squad.
Headed by such a sactimonious dea
son—oh, he was very proper. He
even threatened tar and feathers to
the poor little ex-burlesque queen
who was trying to make an honest
living in Sycamore. They came to
criticize her cabaret, and remained to
dance, for they couldn’t resist that
dreamy jazz. And as a last resort,
Madge showed them a tiling or two
about the deacon in Chicago.
Madge Kennedy, in “A Perfect
Lady,” has “put one over” again.
This is the type of good, clean, snappy
play that appeals to everyone. Chil
dren will revel in the many uproari
ously funny situations; men will com
sider the play as the “spice of life,”
while women will follow the adven
tures and romance of the “perfect
lady” with sympathy and apprecia
tion. The story of a scandal that rang
the wedding bells of a scandal that r
whole packet of fun in the ringing.
Tonight a the Empress.
The Daily Times Job Plant is well
equipped for all classes of commercial

VIRGIN ISLANDS
NOT AFFECTED
BY PROHIBITION
SAN JUAN, Aug. 18 (by Associated
Press).—Probably the only place un
der the American flag where prohibi
tion is not now in force is in the Vir
gin Islands where, until congress
enacts new laws, the old Danish laws
remain in force.
The colonial council of St. Croix
has just passed a bill repealing for
mer local legislation for that island
which provided for local prohibition
until a specified period after the end
ing of the war. Similar legislation is
pending in the colonial council for
the islands of St. Thomas and St. John.
The treaty of sale by which the
islands were transferred from Den
mark to the United States provided
that laws in force and effect until
congress enacted special legislation
for the islands. This has not yet been
done. In the meantime the eonstitu
*
tion of the United States, in all of its
provisions, is not applicable to the
islands and the eighteenth amendment
has no meaning there.
As a war measure the colonial
councils, the local law-making bodies
have passed prohibition acts to be eu
forced during the war. As a result
St. Thomas, where champagne sold
for a dollar a bottle and other liquors
were equally inexpensive and the two
other islands gradually became dry.
Merchants in St. Thomas whose busi
ness is largely that of supplying ships
stores have contended that prohibi
tion was one of their greatest hard
ships while the sugar makers in St.
Croix- were deprived of a lucrative
trade in an important by-product of
sugar when they were forced to cease
making rum. With war prohibition re
moved by local legislation, rum-mak
ing has already been resumed.
Indirectly, however, the Virgin
Islands are feeling the force of the
United States prohibition laws. Pro
hibition Director Donaldson has re
fused to permit alcohol to be shipped
to St. Thomas from here to be used
in the manufacture of bay rum unless
manufactures bind themselves to de
nature their product so that it can
not be used for beverage purposes.
The manufacture of bay rum is one of
the chief industries of St. Thomas
and St. John.
FIGHT IN CANADA OVER
VETERAN MEMBERSHIP
VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 18 (by
Canadian Press).—There are indica
tions that there will be at least one
srenuous struggle when, on October
11, the annual convention of the Army
and Navy Veterans’ Assocition of Can
ada opens here.
Western commands are determined
ly preparing to wage a big fight to
bring about a change in the qualifi- j
cations which enitle a man to mem
bership in the association.
At present, to be entitled to mem
bership, a man must have served six
years with the imperial forces or have
had nine years with the active militia,
or must have won a war decoration.
The proposed change calls for only
three years’ service with the active
militia or in the regular army, or six
months with the Canadian expedi
tionary force.
SCHOOLS OF TACOMA
HAD HIGH EXPENSE
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The cost of educating
Tacoma school pupils reached its
highest level during the 1919-1920
term, according to the annual report
of Alfred Lister, secretary of the
board of education.
The sum of $71.54 was spent on each
crease of $11.60 over the previous
year.
Higher salaries for school teachers
was given as one of the main reasons
for the increase.
Our wiener rolls are unexcelled.

SINN FEINERS
REFUSE PAY
FOR DAMAGES
t
DUBLIN Aug. 18 (by Associated I
Press).—The sums awarded by the
courts to the victims of “malicious
injuries” in Ireland now aggregate
nearly $5,000,000. They are payable
out of local taxes and it is the duty
of the new local Sinn Fein councils to
levy and collect the money. This they
refused to do and, so far as the own
ers of the destroyed property are un
able to obtain payment. Even if the
Sinn Fein councils were willing to as
sist the claimaints, however, the sum
prove “intolerable to tl?e overburdened
is so great that it is said it would
taxpayers.’ ’
The largest taxpayers are Unionists
who do not relish the prospect of hav
ing to pay for the outrages of men
with whom they have not the smallest
sympathy. There has, therefore, been
started an agitation for relieving citi
zens of the burden of these charges.
The argument is that these outrages
were undoubted acts of war. They
f were of the same class and motive 1
of Easter week. Some of the judges
I
| by the same purpose as the rebellion
I who made the awards have endorsed
| this view from the bench. i
The British government paid out of i
the imperial exchequer for the damage :
done in Easter week. They appropri
ated $15,000,000 out of which the
mined portions of the city of Dublin
are being rebuilt. They are now being
asked by resolutions of the grand
! juries of Irish counties, which consist
almost entirely of Unionists, to follow
the Easter week precedent and to pay
out imperial funds for the damage
now frequently done to life and proper
■ ty.
The government has been quite will
| ing to pay for the damage done by
the soldiers and police in the cases
of retaliation that have occurred in
Thurles and Fermoy but they are un
willing, it is reported, to pay for the
damage done by their opponents.
Meanwhile the victims are left with
out compensation.
