SIX
. MEXICAN HABIT
' El Paso, Texas, July 1.-——Bootlegging
has assumed widespread propor
tions in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mex
ico, across the border from Douglas,
Arozona, according to Americans who
<have investigated liquor conditions
in the border state. Open saloons are
prohibited by Sonora .tate laws, but
little or no effort has bee n made
by the authorities to courtailillicit]
liguor traffic, they say. .
Cognizance of the situation hns:
been taken by the authorities, I:m\'-é
ever, to the extent that a bill husl
been introduced in the state (‘lmm-!
ber of Deputies perm tting the es-|
tablishment of open saloons for th('é
sale of light wines and beer under |
strict state supervision. The biil pur-l
poses limiting the pumber of saloons:
in accordance with population andl
the payment of high state and muni-‘
cipal licenses.
Well informed Mexicans believe
that saloons will return under the
proposed new law as they contend
ithat while General P. Elias Calles,
military governor of Sonora, is an
advocate of prohibition he wuuld.
wmuch perfer the legalizing of the li
‘quod traffic with the sonsequent'
fevenue to combating the increasing
number of boot-leggers.
The liquor situation in Agua Prieta
is a troublesome one to the better
class of Sonora Mexicans and sedents
of Douglas and other border towns,l
it is pointed out that Agua Prieta of-;
fers easy access tp any one in
Douglas who desires to obtain ]iquor.?
At the present time certain Mex
icans with a great show of t’rieml-‘|
ship invite Americans across the |
line to visit tllle bootleggers. l
The Mexican policeman watch all
visitors closely, and it is reported, |
make a practice of arresting Amer-:
icans when peir conduct becomes‘
boisterous and robbing them of their‘
money and other valuables. Should |
the American protest there is :nl-|
ways the alternative of a real arrf\sté
and a prison sentence or a heavy!
fine. Some observers here say the re-‘
opening of the saloons will do mucht
toward making a bad situation worse.'

authorities are holding at Helsings
fors the Bilshevik “Admiral” Rake
vinkoff, to exchange him and his aide

ecaptured when a Russian destroyer
was taken by the British while engag
ed in laying mines in the Baltic.

exchange for twenty-two sailors, the
Bolsheviki demurred on the ground
that the exchange was not fair but the
“Admiral’'s” wife interfered and per
suaded them to make the exchange.

PORTO RICANS STRIVE
CHECK USE BEVERAGES
San Juan, June 8, (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-—Efforts are
being made by the Porto Rican authori
ties to check the use as beverages
of tonics, perfumes and lotions con
taining alcohol. The Insular Treasur
er, Jose C. Benedicto and Dr. del
Valle Sarraga of the eHalth Depart
ment, recently asked the House of
Representatives to enact legislation
to prevent the use of such concoctions
¢s intoxicating drinks.
Mr. Benedioto poitted out that it
was legally permissible to, use alco
live fev indugtri purposes, -under
certitin regu'ations, so that -any in
dividual « u prepar a formula, have
it approved' by the . Treasurer and
Health Department and sell ‘it freelv
throughout the island. Thegpretically,
‘Lhese preparations were not for n
imrlml consumption and were harin
ful to the health, but n | ractice it
‘h::d been found that they ve.c hoing
ldrank in alarming quantitties, he smd.
| Their sale could not _very .well he
‘st.oppod as they were permitted by
Liaw.
. “Before prohibition went into fo.ce
hei & Mr. Benedicto, ‘“the ol
used for industrial purposes in Porto
Rico amounted to between 7.000 and
9,000 quarts a month, wheireas last
‘March no less than 52,600 quarts were
used and in April, 56,000 quarts.”
| There were two methods of dealing
‘with the question through the legis-
Jature, said Mr. Bendictor, Either by
seizing all those preparations which
were being used as a drink, although
manufactured under insular permits,
or by increasing the quarterly license
to manutacturers to $2OO instead of
the $25 now being proposed, which
would neable only the larger firms to
manufacture such preparations and
would take them out of the reach of
the general public.
Dr. del Valle informed the House of
the measures which had already been
adepted to prevent the use of such
tonics for drinking purposes. At first,
he said wood alcohol had been intro
duced into these preparations, but in
view of the terrible effects it pro
duced, this had been stopped, for they
would simply be leading those people
wro drank the preparations into total
blindness. The other chemicals which
had meen introduced ip order to make
the lotions nauseous to the stomach,
had not been very successful, for
means had been found by the people
of filtering the liquids and otherwise
getting rid of such ingredients.
It is declared that, although abso
lute prohibition has been enforced in
the island for a year, the police daily
are discovering stills for the distilla
tion of alcohol.
'OVER CLAUSES OF THE TREATY
| vi i, OF 1839, ’
Paris, June 12. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—Holland has
saored in the first heat of the diplo
matic turney with her neighbor Bel
gium over the clauses of the treaties
of 1839, which have aroused a good
leal of fesfing on both sides of the
Belgo-Dutch border.
It wasg these 80 vears old treaties
that gave Holland the Limburg “‘pen
insula”—-the narrow elongated trip of
land popularly known as the “Dutch
appendix,” by crosiing which, the Ger
mans in their retreat last fall saved
themselves a detour of rome 40 miles
and possible capture by the Allied
armies. :
The Belgiang dug up ancient rocords
showing that several towns and vil
lages situated in Dutch Limburg had,
in the thirties of last century, pe
titioned the first king of the Belgians
to be joined to his new kingdom. Al
though the Dutch Limburgers of the
present day are said to have no such
desires, an influential section of Bel
gian politicians clamored for the an
qexation of Limburg to Belgium.
Also, to safeguard the future posi
tions of Antwerp, the Belgian annex
ationists claimed the territory known
as Dutch Flanders, situated on the
southern bank of the Scheldt estuary,
which the treaties named had also
given to Holland.
These territorial claims aroused a
storm of patriotic indignation in Hol
land. Queen Wilhelmina visited the
disputed parts of her dominions, and
there was a good deal of flag waving
and shouting about “dying in the last
ditch” before giving up national ter
ritory. The situation was becoming
unpleasant. (00l headed elements in
Holland realized that an estrange
ment from the Belgian sister nation
(would be fraught with disastrous con
sequences. When a conference was
called by the five great powers to re
consider the treaties of 1839, a dele
gation of eminent Dutch jurists, came
to Paris with the firm belief to avoid
anything in the nature of a breach
with Be!gium. : :
On the cession of territory, how
ever, their jnstructions were definite.
‘and the Dutch standpoint has been
upheld by the five great powers.
1t was agreed to institute a com
mission of seven powers, including
Belgium and Holland. This commis
siong is to examine the proposed re
vision of the treaties of 1839 and sub
mit proposals “implicating neither a
transfer of soverignty nor the creation
»f international servitudes.” The
commission will invite Belgium and
Holland to submit “joint formulas” in
the matter’of waterways, the general
principles of the peace conference to
“e applied as bases for the same.
The bellicose feeling on both sides
now has almost died down.
