[ MORE PROHIBITION
| FOR THE FRENCH
War Office Wants Total Prohibition
During the Present War—Limited
Prohibition Now In Force.
PARIS, May 8.—It is reported to
day that the government will intro
duce a bill in the House of Depu
ties to prohibit the manufacture of
alcoholic drinks during the duration
of the present war. While the sale
1 of liquor is curtailed and certain
drinks cannot be had in France, the
manufacture of alcoholic drinks not
so prohibited continues and it is pro
posed by the government to stop the
manufacture of liquors at all.
The success of prohibition in
France has been fully demonstrated.
The military officers insist that men
under the influence of liquor cannot
be trusted and that the manufacture
and sale of liquor should be prohib
ited until the end of the war.

IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, May 8.—Six peo
ple were killed here yesterday as the
result of a street car collision. Two
cars were smashed. The accident
resulted because of defective brakes
and the motorman lost control of his
car on a steep down grade and it
telescoped the car in front, which
could not keep ahead of the second
car because of wagons on the track.

Passing It On.
A Sunday school teacher, after con
ducting a lesson on the story of Ja
cob’s ladder, concluded by saying:
"Now, is there any little girl or boy
who would like to ask a question
about the lesson?”
Little Susie looked puzzled for a
moment, and then raised her hand.
"A question, Susie?” asked the
teacher.
"I would like to know,” said Susie,
. “if the angels have wings, why did
! they have to climb up the ladder?”
The teacher thought for some mo
ments, and then, looking about the
class, asked:
"Is there any little boy who would
like to answer Susie’s question?”
THAW CASE UNDER
ADVISEMENT NOW
New York Attorney General Fears To
Allow Case To Go To a Jury—
Thaw Conviction Expensive.
NEW YORK, May 8—The argu
ments for the state and for Harry
Thaw in the effort being made by
the attorney-general to prevent a
trial by jury for Harry Thaw were
concluded yesterday and the case is
now under advisement by the appel
ate court.
The state’s attorneys realize that
the chances of retaining custody of
Thaw if his case goes to a jury are
poor, and public sentiment has turn
ed against the government. It is al
so realized that Thaw will make a
good witness for himself and has the
money to purchase the services of
sanity experts. The cost of the trial
to the government will be many
thousands of dollars.
The cost of bringing Thaw back
from New Hampshire was $19,000.
The bills were paid by the state leg
islature only a few days ago. Thaw
has cost the state nearly $250,000
since the murder of Stanford White.
