The state department has instructed
Consul Davis at Beirut that the occa-

It is learned the Turkish government

and has ordered Attrain, the natural

MANY CITIES ARE
FIGHTING FOR IT

CHICAGO. H., Dec. l6.-Pursuant
to the call of Chairman Oliver w.
Stewart the members of the prohibit
ton national committee went into ses-
sion at the Auditorium hotel this morn
ing for the purpose OF deciding upon
the date and place for holding the par
TVS national convention next year. The
national convention of the prohibition
lists always draws large crowd and %
a consequence the convention is sought
by many cities. 1t is an open fight
this year with more than half a dozen
cities among the contestants. Chica-
20, of course, is regarded as a strong
competitor, and st. Louis is another
city that is frequently mentioned as a
likely meeting place for the prohibl-
tionists. There appears, however, to
be strong sentiment among the COM
mitteemen in favor of holding the con-
vention in some smaller city. The
supporters of this idea argue that II
the prohibitionists meet in the same
city as either the republicans or DEM
ocrats they will be obliged to take
second place and will not receive as
much attention as they would if the
convention were held elsewhere. There
are a number of smaller and well locat-
ed cities bidding for the convention and
if the sentiment against Chicago and
st. Louis prevails fine field for the

oOLl<L4 lN.
p This is an outline sketch of the
greatest child-romance in all Spokane.
1t involves a girl who, within few brief
years, has sounded the heights and
depths of fortune. At this very mo-
ment she is in Spokane, living in re-
tirement with her young brother.
And these children adore each other
and one is struggling to make a liveli-
hood.
Stella's very accomplishments stand
in the way. For girl who knows
only music, art and social refnements
to win bread is not always easy.
The only name given today by The
Press is Stella; and You must think OF
her by that pretty name, until you
learn more.
This girl, only Is, has passed from
magnificent wealth to dire poverty.
Her story reads like a romance.
Many, many years ago, her mother,
western woman, decided to give up
the baby Stella. A childless uncle,
whose name has amassed a princely
fortune in New York city, sfell in love
with the baby. She was very beautiful,
well formed and of sweet disposition.
Artists who saw her figure declared
that it was well-nigh perfection. The
old uncle took Stella, the ray of sun.
shine, into his home. The tot brighten
ed his life.
As years passed the child forgot her
mother, the poor working woman in
the far west. She thought her uncle
was her father. On his part he never
revealed the secret of her birth, teach
ing her to regard him as her own faith
er. The story went that her mother
was dead. The innocent child knew
no better.
Stella lived in magnificent brown
stone house on Fifth avenue, not far
from the great st. Patrick's cathedral,
whose musical chimes are the marvel
of New York. This princely mansion
was filled with works of art, gorgeous

tnat she was not their niece. So. from

her mother, and q small brother. From

choice of suitable meeting place still
remains. Among the cities mentioned,
and all of which have delegations on
hand urging their claims, are Indian
apolis, Columbus, Detroit, Kansas City
and Minneapolis. Baltimore and Buff
falo also are in the race, but some of
the committeeman oppose their claims
on the ground that the selection Of a
city more centrally located would be
more to the interests of the party.
Talks with leading prohibtionists in
attendance on the meeting indicate that
the party intends to put up strong
