Had Less Than a Quart But
Will Have to Stand
Trial.
Ross Scruggs, colored, was arrested
yesterday evening after ten o'clock at
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station
charged with being drunk. The
arrest was made by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad officer, V. B. Flchtner
and brought to the city Jail where he
was locked up until this morning.
Although he was very much intoxicated,
this was not the most serious
charge as two half pint bottles of applejack
were found on bis person.
The mayor gave him the usual fivo
dollar fluo for being drunk and put
him back in jail to await the action of
federal authorities. Just as soon as
possible the federal authorities will be
informed ot his arrest and he will he
tried before^ federal court.
Scruggs i/ the first to be arrested
carrying intoxicants since the receipt
of a recent letter from the Attorney
General of the United States relative
to handling such violators. Having
less than a quart he lias violated the
federal law hut not the state law.

In the northwest by a system o( prefer- '
entlal shipments were former yesterday
at the conference of officials, rail- j
road men and coal operators, and may ,
ultimately call on President Wilson
for executive approval to make them ,
effective.
The plan, adopted by unanimous res- (

iuous coal operators who can ship to ,
Cleveland and eastern lake ports one

understanding that they will ship fifty (
per cent, of their output to lake ports
lor re-shipment to northwestern territory

Daniel C. Wlllard, chairman of the '
advisory commission of the Council of
National Defense, was delegated with j
F. . Peabody and C. M. Scheaffer as ,
aides to carry the plan to some author- ,
lty for final veto or approval. The au- ,
thority was not named, but-inasmuch .
as the power to order preferential ablp- ,

Tliat the peace offer will require an '.
answer la readily acknowledged, but i
it Is believed that the lntereat of the
allies will require rejection. It la virtually
certain the proposal will not ba ti
accepted in the present form.
The communication from Home win v
probably be tranamitted to the Stata
department through the papal legatea
liereor the Spanish or Swiss legation*.
Tbe answer Involve* a delicate taak
Tor the .belligerents because the pTopoaals
offer to a war .weary world a
hope for the restoration of peace. Tha
first appraisal of officials and diplomats
was that the offer wa* merely another
attempt of Germany to bring ad
end to the war. The Impression waa L
general that tho Imperial government d
tsed Austria because of the lattePa
close relalon to the Vatican to influence
a new peace offer.
