MARSHALL SURE THE I
ALKY BILL WILL PASS

Washington, April 16.-Representa-
tive Marshall predicts that there will
be no particular trouble in putting the
free alcohol bill through the senate.
He says that the opposition has quiet
ed down, and that it will be reported
promptly from the finance committee.
A favorite method OF killing bills in
the senateszt to which there Is opposi-
ton, q by debating them, but pressure
for this legislation is. so strong that the
debate will not last long, according to
the North Dakota congressman.
The bill will be brought up and pass
ed in the house, under a suspension of
rules. Under this order of procedure,
amendments are cut off and debate linn
tied to forty minutes on each side, so
that it will not take long for the house
to dispose OF the bill So far, nobody
has expressed an intention OF opposing
the measure, except Dalzell. The for
mer will champion the cause of the
wood alcohol people, OF whom there
are many in his state, but the reason
for Grosyenors opposition has not de-
veloped. '" - S's ~

The mob was undecided. While the

above the srnoulderine ash heap from
which the smell of burning flesh rose.
But he stood erect while the man with

fed the FIRE. Five thousand persons saw
the trio hanged and burned. Among the
spectators were hundreds of women and
children. In hall overlooking the
plaza an Easter dance was in progress.
It's music stopped while the dancers

Thousands of people swarmed about

about the public square, where the three

The transition is on in good shape.
Every element of the great fishing in

full blast, and nearly all with two shifts
wages are fair and there are not enough

poets for the season, and general up
ward tendency is noticeable on all sides,

and those who are working for a capi-
tai. People are far more cheerful than
they were few weeks ago, and the
local markets in all the staple lines
are active. This is all right and the
more of it the better. Astoria can
stand for a good deal of this sort of
