HENRY MARTIN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—A battle
royal is anticipated in the congress,
growing out of the resolution, which
c»me from the house committee with
a favorable recommendation, which
calls for an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for nation-wide
prohibition. Legislative measures
aimed at the defense of the liquor
trade have been introduced. The
members of the congress have been
deluged with telegrams from all parts
of the country urging the adoption of
the resolution, while the liquor inter
ests have been equally busy guarding
their interests. Both sides are repre
sented by powerful lobbies. The li
quor men have barrels of money and
are spending it freely.
SEATTLE, Dec. 18.—The executive
committee of the Seattle Chamber of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Presi
dent Wilson today nominated Col. Fer
shing for major general in the United

senate will undoubtedly confirm the
nomination.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
FORMER POPULIST LEADER
AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 1.—Thomas
E. Watson, one-time candidate for
the presidency on the populist ticket,
is on trial here in the federal district
court on a charge of having sent ob
scene matter through the mails. It is
the third time Watson, a publisher
and author of historical works, has
faced trial on the same charges. The
first indictment was quished nearly
two years ago on technicalities. He
was reindicted and last December, af
ter a lengthy trial, the jury disagreed.
The publisher, whose home is at
Thomson, Ga., near here, is under an
indictment containing four counts
based on articles published in his
magazines, which the indictment
states violate the federal penal code.
At his previous trial, which began a
year ago tomorrow, Watson claimed
immunity for' the matter objected to
on the ground that it consisted of ex
cerpts from works on Roman Catho
lic theology which has gone through
the mails without question. The mat
ter was .used by him in attacks on the
Roman Catholic church and its offi
cials.

GAY TELLS HIS
SIDE OF STORY
The Seward papers came out' last
week with several articles relative to
the recent seizure of whiskey at Point
Campbell and intimated that all was
not well with the custodian and crew
in charge of the transportation to
Seward where the .liquor was sold at
public auction.
While The Times does not care to
enter into the merits of the case its
columns are always open to contribu
tors. Jim Gay who had charge of the
liquor, has taken exception to one ar
ticle that Appeared in the Seward pa
pers' aind answers as follows:
“On November 21st, a total of 217
boxes of liquors was shipped from
Anchorage to Seward on the barge
Lawrences lh tow of the Anne W. and
Roscoe, this £>eing the Point Camp
bell liquorY seizure, with myself in
charge of the shipment.
“This was docked in Seward No
vember 29th, at 2 o'clock a. m. The
crews of both tug boats went on shore
immediately after landing and did not
return until about 9 o’clock a. m.,
most of them who were returning to
the two boats were in a state of hilar
ity aiid inability to handle any kind of
cargo, for the Seward saloons had
been busy loading cargo onto our
cre!ws and they had taken on all the
tonnage or “booze” ballast they could
carry.
“Seeing the O. S. condition of our
crews I asked the government dock
officials to furnish me with men to
unload the cargo which they promptly
did.
“Marshall Evans arrived at the
dock about 1 o’clock, p. m., with teams
and it was delivered to him and haul
ed away as it was unloaded; when we
had finished unloading his check
showed 218 boxes, or a gain of one
box in favor of the booze.
“The unloading of the cargo at
tracted the attention of the entire
populace of Seward who swarmed
down to the dock and if as Marshal
Evans says, ‘The fumes ar sing from
broken booze bottles caused our
ships’ crews to become hilarious and
in a state of inability,' it is within
reason to assume that the Seward
“pile” judges were affected by the
same fumes and with the thickened
tongue and befuddled brain opined
that the pile of booze boxes on the
Seward dock did not near compare in
size with the bulk they saw on the
Anchorage dock, and guessed it must
have leaked in transit.
“Late that evening I was informed
by Marshal Evans that he was short
12 boxes of beer. The cargo had pass
ed from my control and I did not sug
gest to Marshal Evans that proba
bly there was two roads leading to
his warehouse, or possibly two keys'
to the door.

MUCH SUFFERING AS
RESULT OF WORLD WAR
(Cordova Times)
Mrs. L. M. Price, formerly of Cor
dova, writes the following interesting
letter from England to George C.
Hazelet: “We arrived here safely on
October 2, being eleven days in cross
ing the Atlantic. The last few days
were most exciting, so much so that
I will never forget them. I hope
that when we are ready to retifrn the
war will be over, but from all ap
pearances it is very evident to con
tinue for years to come. The suffer
ing in the country is something terri
ble and almost every home has its
sorrow. My youngest brother, 24
years old, leaves for the front short
ly and will have to take his chances
like every other man.
“It costs three times as much to
live here as it did before the war, and
there is a limit to all the foodstuffs.
Only a small amount of sugar is al
lowed for each family, and it is im
possible to get more. I don’t know
what the country will come to if this
war continues. J X
“Two German Zeppelins came rigltr
over our home here last night, but we
didn’t know anything about it until
two hours later, when the neighbors
came in. Fortunately no damage was
done. Sunday night my father saw
three Zeppelins about ten miles from
here.
“I found my mother in failing
health and so changed that it gave
me quite a shock. She has improved
wonderfully since I arrived home, and
tells me I have put new life into her.
I have two younger sisters at home
and they are so happy to have us with
them again.”

SIGNAL CORPS IS TO
OPERATE VIA WIRELESS WAYS
SEATTLE, Dec. 2.—The Alaska-Se
attle cable operated by the United
States army signal corps, will soon be
supplemented by wireless service, ac
cording to Dr. Louis Winslow Austin,
head of the United States naval radio
telegraph laboratory at Washington,
D. C. He is at the New Washington,
says the Seattle Times.
Dr. Austin is working on experi
ments here for the purpose of improv
ing the cable service between Seattle
and Alaska. The Keyport wireless
station, he says, will be completed
next year, and commercial service will
be available from there to Cordova,
where the big navy wireless station ■
located. It is not planned entirely to
eliminate the cable, but the business is
growing at such a rapid rate that the
necessity for auxiliary service is be
coming readily apparent.
“Government ownership and opera
tion of the wireless plants of the coun
try could surely be looked for in times
«f trouble, but I have no reasons for
Blinking the government will take
wv%r these plants now,” said Dr. Aus
tin. “It is very hard to get the struc
turalsteel necessary for building large
stations, and this may cause the pur
chase of a few stations for use by the
navy department.”

Another thing—how high must they
be before they cease to be shoes and
begin to be leggings?
Another reason why the cost of liv
ing is so high is because a pair of good
shoes costs as much as a box of ten
cent cigars.
Our observation is that when a wid- *
ow hasn’t any children to spend her
insurance money on she spends it on
another husband.
