TWO GERMAN VESSELS LOST AND TURKS REFUSED
JURY TAKES UP
 FALSE VOTES
ASKS COURT FOR ADVICE IN VALDEZ ABOUT VOTES
 THERE.

The grand jury last week in Val dcz asked the advice of Judge Brown as to the right of women to vote whose husbands had no vote and only had first papers taken out. The Pros pector says that this woman was ad- vised by District Attorney Spence to vote. The Judge gave it as his opinion that the woman had really no vote but he also advised the jury not to start prosecution unless the wrong ful voting was shown to be of very serious kind. The paper in telling the story says that Seward man voted on his first papers and it suggests that fraud has been discovered in that city and this.
 The Prospector says;
 It is known that many illegal votes were cast in Valdez, Cordova and Seward at the last election and it is possible that the jury may bring in indictments against some of the fragrant violations"

POLITICAL NOTES.

The last reports from the Fourth division were that Snow of Ruby and Maltby were running close for fourth place. It was supposed that Maltby had won.
 Wickersham, according to tele- gram from Fairbanks, will leave Alaska in time to reach Washington for the beginning of the session.
 Places like the Koyukuk, the KObuk and similarly remote precincts have not yet been heard from and the Of- fical count by the government officials of the election vote will be some time getting ready.
 M. J. O'Connor, defeated for sena- tor from the First division, writes the Juneau Dispatch that he favors an eight hour day and that he is opposed to some extent to labor unions. He says he wants labor to be so well treat that unions would be unneces- sary.

PRESIDENT WILSON RECEIVES MEASURING MESSAGES
 FROM REPUBLIC.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Thc president has received reassuring messages from Mexico and is conf dent that nothing serious will result to American interests from the pre- sent controversies between the Mexi- can generals. He seems to believe that the weight of Mexican opinion is in favor of peace and that the people of that country will not permit any man to stand in the way of bring ing it about The obstinacy of Car ranza seems now to be the only obstacle but the forces of Villa and the men of the Aguas Calientes con vention are supposed to be strong enough to end the trouble.

 DOWN REQUEST
WILL NOT APPOINT RECEIVER TO OPERATE THE COLORADO

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Presi- dent Wilson has decided not to accede to the wishes of the American Feder- ation of Labor in the matter of ap- pointing receivers to operate the Colorado coal mics. When the sdgg"s- ton was made to him he took the pro posal under consideration and for a time it looked as if he would do as the federation desired. He has evil dently consulted some of his advisors on the matter and seems to think that such a step as that proposed would Le of too revolutionary a character. The president has given no intimatlon as to what. steps he will take next to prevail on the mine operators to meet the men in some kind of an arrange ment for a settlement.

NORWAY KNOCKS
 PROHIBITION
LAW PREVENTING SALE OF INTOXICANTS FOUND TO
 BE NO GOOD.
lBy The Associated Press.l

CHRISTIANA, Nov. 23.-The Nor wegian press is making an almost un- animous appeal to the Government to tescind the prohibition ordinance which was passed in the first excite ment of the war to stop the sale of strong alcoholic beverages. Nominally fifty per cent of the Norwegian peopIe IS represented in the membership of 'Teelotal Societies" and next to Fin and Norway ordinarily has the small est per capita consumption of alcohol in the world. It is working classes who are most largely represented in the "teetota" membership.
 The appeal for resembling the pro- nibition act is based primarily on as sertions that after more than two months of prohibition, prohibition has not worked. Persons who could afford have indulged extensively in the importation of strong liquors from Denmark and Scotland. Individuals have combined to form private stock companies" and have brought in thousands of gallons every week, each person taking a keg or two for private ,se. Among the poorer classes com plaint is made that the prohibition law aas created worse conditions, prompt ing the connection of such weird drinks as "self murder"-the name given to denaturalized alcohol flavor ed with oil of peppermint-and the cheapest kinds of so-called sweet
 ines, made from chemical products, which never saw grapes.
 The police reports in Christiana show that the average number of ar rests for drunkeness has been about ,he same as before the ordinance was passed, and in the meantime the Gov crnment loses a revenue of S260,0O0 a month. Outside of the Teetotal Soci- cites the demand for resembling the new law has gained such headway that it is said the government may meet it.
 The Government has already re- ,cinded the special law forbidding dis .illation of alcohol from potatoes. This s ordinarily an extensive industry in Norway, but at the outbreak of the European war it was thought neces- sary to stop it in order to conserve the food supply. As a matter of fact it was found that the potatoes used for this distilling process could not be kept long, there not being enough frost-proof cellars for their storage. The breweries, which had also been forbidden to malt their barley, have recommended their operations.
