CHURCHMEN FIGHT
LIQUOR DEALERS
Berkeley Trustees Hear Two
Sides of Question That
Worries the College Town
NO ACTION is TAKEN

BERKELEY. Dec. 21.-Representa-
tives of the saloon interests of West
Berkeley and the churchmen who are
fighting the liquor men conferred pri-
vately for two hours last night with
the Town Trustees in the office of
Town Clerk Mendenhall regarding the
order made two weeks ago revoking all
liquor licenses on January l. The
Trustees desired an executive session,
where the arguments of church and
saloon men could be heard without in
reference by lawyers or any part of
the public and the meeting last night
was on those lines. All outsiders were
excluded.
The churchmen were represented by
z. E. Newton. Colonel George c. Ed
wards and ]. c. Bradley; the saloon
men by c. r. Renas r. Christy and H.
II. Mclaughlin. All the Trustees ex-
cept f. Conner were present.
No definite action was taken, but the
West Berkeley contingent appeared to
be confident that modification OF the
order closing all saloons next week
would be made. They apparently ex-
pect an extension of time for several
months or the granting of new licenses
on the same terms as hitherto
The Trustees will meet Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock to consider the new
charter. The saloon license matter may
be settled at that meeting.

BRYAN STRONG FOR
STATES RIGHTS

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. Civ. J..
Bryan, commenting on Secretary Of
State Roots latest speech, enters his
emphatic protest to the doctrine Of
Capitalization of government, which he
says Root Endorses. Bryan spoke his
views as follows today:
Secretary Root seems to rest his argument
upon the old idea of destiny-the refuge OF the
man who wants to do thing which he cannot
defend. The destiny argument carried us into
our expensive expensive experiment in imperialism. and
States and centralize all government at Wash
ington.
The constitution. while made more than a
century ago. is adequate for today. The changes
that are needed are changes of method not of
principle The division or the powers of gov
eminent was founded upon the doctrine of self
government. and the preservation of the nation
depends upon the careful observance of the lin
itations between the things that are local and
the things that national
Those who do not recognize the doctrine of
local Self-goyernment make an argument in
favor of the transfer Of all power to the Fed
eral Government. but those who believe In the
doctrine Of elf-government recognize that the
people can be trusted best with that with which
they are best acquainted, and that the people are
best acquainted with the things which are near
them and Immediately concern them.
If Secretary Root has In mind the
Japanese question as. it presents itself
in California, says Bryan, he will find
the American people unwilling to turn
the school system over to the Federal
Government merely to please any for
eign nation. however friendly. If he
has in mind the elimination of trusts
he will find it unnecessary to deprive
the States of present powers to make

need of equipping the chemical and

cases. Typhoid has been the most

PHOENIX MYSTERY
IS UNSOLVED

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-Hurried orders
to have the body of Nicholai de Raglan
buried at Phoenix, Ariz., despite the
urgent request of Baron Won Schlippen-
bach. the Russian Consul, that it
should be brought to Chicago in order
that Identification might be complete,
added hints of scandal to the mystery
surrounding the life and parentage of
pronounced woman by a Coroner's
jury in the Arizona city.
Evidence of a possible insurance
plot has been obtained by Mrs. Francis
]. Bradchulis. De Raylans first wife.
and she and her husband are working
with Baron Won Schlippenbach to I'M
tangle the inexplicable web of mystery.
Despite the assertions of both women
who were married to him" and that
he was a man. an autopsy made at
Phoenix revealed that De Raglan was
woman. Mrs de Raglan is now liv-
ing at 592 California avenue. Mrs. de
Raglan was formerly Anne Davidson,
and was on the stage as a chorus girl
for a number of years. She insists
that her husband is still alive. although
she wired to Phoenix without result.
With the positive word of the au-
thorities of Phoenix that an examina-
tion revealed De Raglan to be woman,
Mrs. de Raglan may be called to the
Western city by the Coroner to make
the Identification positive, If she con-
tinues to insist that her husband is
still alive.

TACOMA, Dec. 21.-Fifty- five instr,1-

coup on the part of the Union Pacific

Indicate that parties believed to be act

bought up thousands of acres of valu-
able coal lands along the Skookum
Chuck River in the vicinity of Bucoda
and Tenino.
While the owners have realized
profits from sales. receiving in some
instances as high as $500 for land
too poor for agricultural purposes, the
Hartman road has secured a coal field
that will supply it's roads In this State
for years to come. Although of low
grade for domestic purposes, the
Skookum Chuck coal mines furnish
a quality of fuel entirely satisfactory
Tor use In locomotives.
All of the deeds filed today were in
the name of John McNeill of Denver.
They show that the company has al
9eady spent between 100000 and
100000 in purchasing coal lands. Rep
resentatives of the company have been
quietly at work in that vicinity for
some time. In fact. negotiations were
begun for coal properties near Tenfno
