PROHIBIT SHIPMENT ALCO-
HoLIcs TO DRY STATES.

Prohibitionists in Brunswick are on
what the thinking leaders of the fac
ton in state politics consider the
right track. They are making every
effort, with prohibitionists throughout
the country, to have congress pass a
law, to be concurred in by the inter
state commerce commission, prohibit
ing the shipment of alcoholics to dry
territory. s..j "t-'
Next to national prohibition, the
leaders of the party say the new

congress to pass the law the prohibit
tionists desire, will deliver lecture
in this city.
Being faced, like people in so many
other states, with the trying prohibi-

out the city have expressed their
desire to hear discussed this compar-
atively new phase of the great ques-
ton that for years has wrecked the
life of Georgia and it's communities.
The object of Mr.. Crafts lecture
will be to elucidate the subject and
get Brunswick prohibitionists to bring
all the pressure they can to bear on
their representatives to have them

While it is true that the actual

ly true that there is being done some
little quiet work looking to the shap-

Glynn county for next June. The
registration closing in April means
that there is going to be some efforts

even if there is no marked opposi-

that there are several citizens VINO,

any reliable source.
Unless there develops more pro-

SECURITIES SAFE
WORK BEGINS ON REMOVING THE
DEBRIS FROM BURNED
BANK BUILDING.

New York, Jan. 11.-Wreckersf be-
gan today the preliminary work OF
clearing away the debris and ice whicn
encase the safe deposit vaults in the
burned Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety building. The various vaults in
the structure are said to be intact
and the contents of half billion
dollars in securities are safe
The work of the wreckers was
badly hampered by the fact that the
building is in such a precarious con-
dition that the walls on two sides may
fall at any time.
The vaults of the Equitable Life
have successfully withstood the
flames, though they will not be opened
until they have completely cooled off.
Officers of the company say that
there is not a doubt that the $780,
100000 in securities of the society are
unharmed by the flames. 1t is an
nounced the 10000 policies on which
the Equitable loaned something be-
tween $70,000,000 and 100000, 900 had
been found to be unharmed in the
steel boxes in which they were kept.
Securities are already being removed
from the vaults of the Mercantile
Trust company.
Shortly after the opening of the New
York stock exchange today a bulle-
tin was posted chat the law commit
tee gives notice that the delivery of
securities between parties directly or
indirectly affected by the fire in the
Equitable building are further delayed
until January 49,"

18th DELAYED ON
TRIP TO CHINA
REPAIRS BEING MADE ON TRANS
PORT TO ACCOMMODATE
GUNS AND HORSES.

Manila, Jan. 11.-Delay has arisen
in connection with the departure of
the transport Logan, which is to con-
vey the first battalion of the Fifteenth
infantry to China. She will probably
not leave until Friday.
The delay was due to the altera-
tions which it was necessary to carry
out on board the transport so as to
provide proper accommodation for the
field and machine guns and the nee
essary draft horses.
1t is expected that the voyage to
China will last ten days. The troops
will disembark at Chin Wang Tao
The strength of the expedition will
be $40 men in ALL including the first
battalion of the Fifteenth infantry, the
detachment of the hospital corps. a
machine gun platoon and field serv-
Ice wagon train.
Major Jas. M. Arrasmith, who will
be in command, will be accompanied
by an officer of the intelligence de-
partment and will report to William J..
Calhoun, American minister at Pekin,
on mis- arrival.
The troops will embark on the
transport Logan at 4 o'clock. They
came down from Fort Mckinley in
huge barges along the river Pasig.
All the troops are iubilant at the
chance of field service. They were
paid on Wednesday in gold and all
of them are saving their money for
the trip.

SENATOR LORTMER
ON HIS ELECTION
ILLINOIS SENATOR TELLS ALL
BEFORE COMMITTEE OF SEN.
AToRs INVESTIGATING.

} Washington, Jan. 11.-Details of the
Band of Hope, the Hopkins Helping
Hands and the Hopkins apple barrel,
all things more or less synonymous
with republican politics in Illinois in
the senatorial fight of 1908 and 1909
We're told by Senator Lorimer today
before the committee of senators in
vestigating his election.
Part of the morning session was
taken up by the reading of political
stories printed by Chicago papers at
the time of Senator Lorimers election.
Judge Hancey insisted on reading
them in full ID the committee. Hc
said they would support his conten-
tion that Hopkins could never have
been elected with the opposition of
Governor Dineen and that Senator
Lorimer was the one man at that
time who could be elected with dem
ocratic votes.
This was Senator Lorimer's third
day as witness and his testimony
had reached only the ground work
stage.
Senator Lorimer gives complete an
swers and insists on explaining con-
tributing incidents. Frequently when
a question is asked he says: 81 think
/ had better tell you the story that
goes with that" Then he recites the
events which have political signifl-
canoe to the point in question.
