TO ENFORCE H
NO LIQUOR BE ALLOWED IN TER
RITORIAL WATERS AFTER
TENTH OF JUNE
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4—
The Department of Treasury tossed
on the international doorstep the new
regulations carrying out the court’s
decision barring beverage liquors
from territorial waters of the United
States after 12:01 A. M. June tenth.
Acoerding to a treasury spokesman,,
there will be no loopholes left and the
court’s construction of the dry law
will be rigidly enforced. The treasury j
department based the rules on a liter
al reading of the court’s opinion and
is prepared to let come what may, as j
it is the only hope of releiving the sit
uation. Regarding the embarassing
situation to international commerce, j
the spokesman said, it all lies with the j
next congress to pass the necessary
legislation remedying the matter.
Except medicinal liquor, usual immun
ity accorded diplomats, privileges al-(
lowed foreign war vessels, regulations !
will not permit inbound passage of al
coholic beverages. Consideration how
ever, will be given ships forced into
American harbors by distress, but they
must show the necessity grave, and
| the proof must be convincing, where
after they will be required to give
| bond for the faithful observance of the
American dry laws. Some treasury of
ficials felt congress might find a way
to circumvent the import decline, oth
ers are convinced that the barred
zone is due to remain until a change
is made in the 18th amendment. It
was pointed out in this connection
that the supreme court based its de
cision on the amendment rather than
on the enforcement act, consequently
any legislation relieving the situation
; would be a contravention of the con
! stitution.
AMUNDSEN MAY HR
ATTEMPT POLAR FLIT
SEATTLE, June 4.—Doubt that Ex
plorer Amundsen will ever attempt his

rancher, arrived on the Alameda, and
is visiting his brother, Councilman
Adelman. The visit was entirely un
expected, and was therefore, the more
delightful.
O. E. Suitor and wife left for their
homeat Girdwood on today's train.
Word was received here this after-:
noon that the transport Cambrai
would arrive in Seward at 6:00
o’clock tomorrow morning. The party
