PROHIBITION TALK IS
 RAMPANT IN GEORGIA
Anti-Saloon League Will Send Delega. tion Before Ho<e Smith to Get
 His Views.

Atlanta, December 4.-(Special) )-There is a well defined rumor here that the anti-saloon league is going to press viz orously it's fight for state prohibition. In fact notice was given that it would pur sue this policy when 1t practically dropped the fight for prohibition in Atlanta, deem- ing it inadvsable to go into a local option election at this time.
 Now, however, comes the report that in the near future the league proposes to send a strong committee to Governor elect Hoke Smith to urge him to take up the fight for state prohibition.
 MT. Smith has never been a prohibition ist nor did he take that attitude before the people on the stump during the cam paign It will be interesting, therefore, to note what position he will take in the event such a committee should urge him to take up the cause of state prohi- bition.
 AS a matter of fact the question is one which must be determined by the rep resentatives of the people in the legisla- ture. If the legislature should take so radical a step as that of enacting state prohibition law, there is little doubt that any governor before whom it might come would affix his signature to 1t.

COLORADO DESCRIBED
 INLYCEUM LECTURE
History of Ancient Races and Their Dwellings Portrayed By Words
 and Pictures.

The illustrated lecture, entitled "Pan- oramic Colorado delivered at the High school auditorium last night by Mir. and Mrs. Gilbert McClurg, attracted large audience which greatly enjoyed the enter tainment
 The lecture consisted of two parts, the first being a vivid description of the his- tory and homes of the cliff-dwellers, and the second part giving a description of modern Colorado.
 Mrs Gilbert McClurg has charge of the first part and spoke most Interestingly of the subject explaining very fully the origin and uses of these dwellings, and also the occupations and manners of these ancient races. She said the name of Col orado was given to that country by the Spanards on account of the beautiful colors which exist everywhere, especially black and red The scenes thrown on the curtain were colored to accord with the subject, and were enough to tax the belief of those present.
 MT. McClurgA explained the views which represented the modern Colorado, show ing the pioneers crossing the deserts to the goldheds down to the grand city of Denver, with it's beautiful parks and fine dwellings.
 The lecture was greatly enjoyed by all present, and was considered equal to a heightened visit among the scenes de- picted

FACILITIES NEEDED
 TO TRANSPORT TROOPS
General Barry, Acting Chief of Staff, Makes Report-Urges Higher Pay
 for Enlisted Men.

Washington, December 4.-In his annual report, made public today, Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Barry acting chief of staff, calls to mind the fact that the gov- ernment is without water transportation facilities in cases of emergency in the movement of troops. He cites the case of the army of Modification in Cuba and says that the lack of such facilities were severely felt.
 The Brownsville, Tex, incident, involv- ing the Twenty-ffth infantry merely Is touched upon.
 "On the whole" says General Barry, "The discipline of the army is good and is usually question of its official per sonnel and the manner in which they per form their duty. The enlisted men con stitute an excellent body and as a rule are cheerful under conditions of hard work and discomfort. Necessarily the army contains some malcontents and vi ciously disposed who must be dealt with accordingly.
 Higher pay for non-commisisoned off, cers and privates is strongly urged.

 Every woman takes as much time in getting off a street car as if she thought her destination was as far as the car ex- pected to go.

COMMISSION IS WORRIED
 OVER THE CAR SITUATION

reparation for damages resulting from failure to supply sufficient cars, but our power to do so is not altogether certain. Moreover, any award made by us in a proceeding brought for that purpose would establish only prima facie case against the carrier in a suit brought in the federal courts to enforce the order. Inasmuch as such proceeding goes upon the theory of awarding damages, 1t would seem to be rather more suitable and efficient for aggrieved shippers to bring their suits in the courts in the first in- stance.
 We have, however, ordered an inves- tigation of this matter of car shortage, and will prosecute it with the utmost dis. patch You may be assured that every thing will be done within the scope of our authority to bring about the earliest possible relief
 Senator Hansborough has written sev- eral letters to the commission, calling attention to the car shortage, and declar- ing the situation to be so serious as to amount almost to a calamity in some sections. and asking the scope of the commissions authority to bring about some relief.

 Jules Verne Hall, the famous globe trot- ter. in order to pay an election bet, must refrain from talking during the next three months. Violation of the agree ment means loss of s2500 posted as a forfeit.
 Twice during the last four days has Hall been within an ace of losing. On Wednesday night while absent-mindedly gazing across the sage brush an enemy carelessly inquired, will you have 8 drink?"
 The word "yes" was on his lips, when Hall. with a powerful effort, restrained himself and merely nodded assent.
 Then an argument was started as to the relative merits of the English and Rus sian navies. Hall is a native of the British island and when everyone present agreed that Rojestvensky could have de- feated the English home fleet poor Hall spluttered until he grew red in the face
 The doors were locked and he could not escape, so to save his s2500 he gagged himself with blanket.
 He is suffering as few men have suf- fered. Because he dare not speak he has been living on ham and beans, and he cannot protest when his companions lock him outside the cabin.

BIDS ARE RECEIVED
 FOR INDIAN LANDS
DETAIL OF CAVALRY ORDERED TO GUARD BANK WHERE BIC PAS. TURF" BIDS ARE RECEIVED. ONLY ONE BID IRREGULAR.

Lawton, Okla, December 4-In response to a request by Judge Written, in charge of the receiving of bids on the Kiowa and Comanche Indian lands in the Big pas ture,'' Acting Commissioner Pol lack of the general land office has recommended that a detail of cavalry from Fort Sill be secured and stationed about the City National bank where the bids are being received both day and night during the rest of the week
 The first detail is reported dispatched from the fort tonight Out of about 1000 bids received only one had been irregular.
 Judge Witten states that Secretary Taft of the war department had expressed a desire to the interior department to hold up the sale of big pasture lands until those having lands adjacent to the mili- tary reserve, which were desired for broadening and reservation, could select land in the big pasture in lieu of that which they occupy
 In order to secure the desired land the war department will have to condemn and purchase it outright.

Washington, December 4.-The 1nten- tions and attitude of the interstate commerce commission respecting the car shortage in the northwest are made clear in the following letter addressed to Sem ator Hansbrough by Chairman Knapp:
 '"The inability of shippers to secure cars for the movement of their traffic is reported from various parts of the country and amounts in some sections, as you observe, to almost calamity This matter has given the commission special concern, although we appear to be with out any adequate authority to deal with such a situation. We can exercise no di- rect power to compel interstate carriers to furnish adequate equipment, nor are we prepared at this time to recommend specific legislation upon this subject. If a given carrier unjustly discrfminates between shippers in distributing it's car supply we could undoubtedly make an enforcible order of relief after inve<tigat- ing a complaint and giving the carrier a hearing We could also perhaps award

VANcLEAvE IN CHICAGO.
Condemns In Strong Terms the Man
 Who Expresses Employees.

Chicago, December 4.-James w. Vancleave of St. Louis, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, delivered the principal address today before the convention of the Citizens Industrial association.
 MT. Vancleave condemned strongly men who oppressed their employees, declaring such a man to be worse citizen than the demagogue whom he assails." Continuing, the speaker said:
 We see socialists, anarchists and extremists of all sorts springing up on all sides. It is well for us employers to question ourselves and learn whether we had any part in the generation of implacables and destructionists. It is well to understand that some of the captains of industry and the heads Of some of the great aggregations of capi- tai and some of the employers of labor in general are in a measure responsl- ble for these things. The outbreaks which occur in this country from time to time can only be cured by the per manent removal of the causes, which cause them."

HAD RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.
If Japs Came to Farm They Should Not
 Be Put In Mines.

Mexico City December 4.-Minizoa Ara kawa, the Japanese minister to Mexico has as yet no advice from Las Esper- anzas, Coahuila, regarding the case of the Japanese laborers who, according to a dispatch yesterday, left that place in great numbers for the United States. MT. Arakawa telegraphed to the immigra- ton agent in Las Esperanzas today, ask ing for an explanation of the affair, but nothing has been received regarding the matter.
 Minister Arakawa was not in the city when the complaint came from that min ing camp Monday. He said yesterday, however, that it appeared that the la borers were agriculturists, who had been tempted to come to this country by allur- ing promises, and were put to work in the coal mines, which is hard work and received hard treatment. The details of that part of the matter the minister does not know, but he said that if the men expected to be employed in agri- cultural work and were put into mines they were right in complaining.

BRIBERY SCANDAL
 IS SENSATIONAL
NUMBER OF WARRANTS ISSUED AND ONE ARREST IN CASE BE- TWEEN RAILROAD oFFlclALS AND MEMBERS OF COUNCILS.

Pittsburg, December 4.-With the ar rest of J. H. Milholland, civil en- gineer, on charge of conspiracy to de- fraud, the issuance of warrants for ar rest of Joseph Flaherty and H. T. Bos- taph on the same charge, the grand jury indictment against President c. S. Came ron, charging him with contempt and obstruction of justice, and the postpone ment until December r of the conspir- acy hearing of Common councilman w.. A. Martin, the developments today in the alleged bribery scandal between the officials of the Pittsburg and Tube City railroad and the members of Pittsburg Select and Common councils were sen- sational
 MT. Milholland is the engineer of the Pittsburg and Tube City railroad. He was arrested about noon today by city detective and taken to the central sta- tion, where friend furnished $2oO0 bail for his release.
 The information against him alleges that he unlawfully combined, conspired and agreed to corruptly infect certain coun- cilmen in the deliberation and vote for the granting of franchises to the Pitts burg and Tube City railroad. President Cameron was jnddicted by the grand jury for his refusal to testify in Magistrate Brady's court yesterday in the conspiracy hearing of Councilman Martin.
 President Cameron, acting on the ad- vice of counsel, refused emphatically to answer questions relating to the graft scandal on the ground that he might in- criminate himself. The hearing was ab- ruptly adjourned by his arrest for con- tempt and the obstruction of justice. Lace tonight Flaherty and Bostaph had not been arrested, the officers being unable to locate them.
