WILL BE FIGHT TO FINISH,
Prohibition Issue viii be oc the Most
Acrimonious in History of
State.

Norfolk, Va, March 19.-The pas
sage by the legislature of > the en-,
abling act has opened up campaign
which, will be the most holly con-
tested and acrimonious ever held in
this section of the State, a district
in which men fight, politically, to
the finish and do not stop fighting
till the last dollar is spent and the
last ditch reached.
Already several temperance mass
meetings have been held, and many
consultations had. Both sides real
ize that it will be war of EXTERN
nation.
The liquor interests know that this
all hangs in the balance and already
they are holding meetings for the
purpose of raising money to make a
most aggressive campaign.
They intend to assess heavily ev-
cry man who sells liquor All af-
filiated interest will be asked to con-
tribute. In Norfolk both of these
classes will contribute largely. The
National Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton, in the opinion of one promi-
nent liquor dealer, will give to the
campaign committee, if necessary,
one-haf million dollars. 1t is said
|ithis great amount Of money will be
expended in what they term cam
paign of education to wit: That
prohibition does not prohibit, and
that men cannot be made sober by
| legislation.
The ablest speakers that money
CAN buy from all over the United
States will be put upon the stump
and will tell the people that local OPP
ton is good enough. 1t is said that
many thousands Of dollars will 60 to
the printing houses, and press Of the
State-those papers willing to
publish their campaign articles.
Against this vast amount of
money the temperance forces of the
State will have to contend.
! 1t is realized in Norfolk that it
is going to be a great struggle, and
neither side is losing any time in
getting ready for it.
The temperance people of Vir-
ginia, those who wish prohibition,
must know right now that victory
cannot be won on wind. and that
they are up against the fight Of their
lives.
The liquor people did not want the
enabling because they knew full we'll
what it would cost them in labor
and dollars, but now the contest is
on they are going to fight and fight
hard and not stop fighting so long
as there is anything to contest. This
lis but summary Of the views Of
some of the rich liquor dealers of
the city by the sea.

NO AID TO ALIENS.
Bill Relating to Paroles Exempts
Persons Guilty of Capital
Crimes.

1siSIhHlOiu, h1iSA -. A~>>N~-, -
Provided, that in any case prlso--
ner who has been convicted for any
crime other than for murder, rape,
highway, robbery, or for breaking
and entering a house in the night
time may be pardoned under the
provisions of this act after serving
three years of his time in the State
penitentiary.
With the exception of the forego-
ing, the newspapers yesterday print
ed correctly the provisions of Senate
bill 442, of which Senator Lesner,
of Norfolk, was the patron.
The title of the act is to authorize
the Governor to grant conditional
pardons to persons confined in the
penitentiary upon recommendation
of the board Of directors Of said IN
stitution.
The report in the papers that there
was behind the bill an attempt to
free the members of the Allen clan
proves to be wholly erroneous, as
teh amendment to the bill clearly
sets forth its exact nature and pur-
pose.
"There is nothing of the sort con-
tanned in the bill, as is printed in
the papers," said Senator John A
Lesner yesterday, when asked re-
!. garding the matter. "The fact is
that such report as that printed
was in circulation at the time that
the bill was under consideration, and
Senator Buchanan took plans to
make inquiry in the matter. He
saw exactly what was behind the
measure, and he was one of its
warmest supporters.
GAS a matter of fact, the words,
Three Years, which We're the words
of the bill as first introduced, have
been stricken from the measure and
they do not appear in the enrolled
bill"
An examination of the bill as it
was. passed shows that Senator Les
ner is absolutely correct.
The records of the penitentiary in
connection with the Aliens are as
follows:
Claude Allen-Convicted of murder
in the first degree; electrocuted
March %, 1913.
Claude 4Allen-Convicted in two
counts: First count-Murder in
second degree; fifteen years in the
penitentiary. Second count-Murder
in first degree; electrocuted March
%, 1918.
Sidna Allen-Convicted in three
counts OF second degree murder:
First count, fifteen years in peniten-
tiary; second count, five years in
penitentiary, and third count, fifteen
years in penitentlary Iotal, thirty
five years.
Friel Allen-Convicted Of second
degree murder; eighteen years in
penientiary.
Sidna Allen.-Convicted of muir
der in the second degree; fifteen
years in penitentiary.
Wesley Edwards-Convieted of
murder in the second degree in two
counts: First count, eighteen years;
second count, nine years, Total.
twenty-severe years. Il
AS stated, it can readily be seen
that the bill passed could not in any
way affect the Aliens, and shows
conclusively that the friends of. the
Aliens had nothing whatever to do
with the passage OF this bill.

Change in Prices Has Resulted in
Bigger Consumption Of Sugar.
Dealer Saws

Bigger Consumption OF ou9ar,
Dealer Says.
Encouraged by the easier prices
that have prevailed for about
year, the consumption of sugar has
increased about 25 per cent, &C.
cording to estimates made by local
dealers. Yesterday one wholesale
house in Everett filled orders for
1000 sacks of the sweetness.
Sugar prices are now about 81 a
sack of 100 pounds less than those
of a year ago, the refiners' price at
the refineries now being $3.50 for
beet sugar and $3.50 for cane sugar.
This has resulted in a marked in
crease in the consumption of the
product, and it is believed that at
least one-fourth more sugar is be-
ing used now than twelve months
ago
A few days ago, however, raw
sugar advanced Is cents hundred
pounds, and it is considered highly
probable that within short time
the refined article will show cor
responding elevation in price.

Congress Will
Convene TODAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
Congress Is due to convene tomor-
row, in accordance with the provi-
sions Of the constitution of the
United States but it is not expect
ed that anything Of importance
will be accomplished on the first
day.
President Wilson will personally
read his message to congress on
Thursday when both houses will
meet in joint session for that pur-
pose. The message. it Is under
stood, will be short, and will refer
only to matters of much vital i'm
portance to the nation.
The suggestion made by Repre-
sentative Gardner to have the house
of representatives pass a resolution
authorizing a probe of the nations
preparations for war, is threatening
to arouse much opposition. From
what can be learned the question Of
investigating military and naval con-
ditions of the country will not be
fought out on party lines. but will
be determined by personal opinions.

France Prohibits
Sale Of Absinthe

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Permanent prohi-
bition of the sale of absinthe and
kindred alcoholic beverages through
out France may be a result Of the
war. When war began, transporta-
ton and sale of absinthe were for.
bidden, but traffic in other intoxi-
cants was continued.
The original order OF the govern
ment has now been supplemented
with another forbidding the sale OF
any alcoholic drinks similar to alb
sinthe. In all parts of France there
is marked movement toward per
petuating this prohibition. This coun'
try has been rated as the largest
consumer of liquors, although the
statistics available do not show the
amount Of alcohol consumed in this
form.

Eagles Vote Fund
For Mrs. J. Heath
LOCAL ORGANIZATION AROUSED
OVER STORY OF TROUBLE
OF SOURDOUGH FAMILY.

After hearing the sad story
of the Heath family, as told by
Ed Herring Saturday evening at
the meeting of the Fairbanks
Aerie of the Fraternal Order Of
Eagles, the assembled members
of the order voted to give the
sum of $1OO to Mrs. Heath and
her children.
The donation was made in rec
ognition of the services rendered
by Mrs. Heath in many entertain
ments given by the Eagles. and
for which she never asked any
pay. That the money will be
received by her as surprise,
is a foregone conclusion.
AS soon as the above named
amount was appropriated, pri-
vate subscriptions were called
for from the members and SIS
was collected within ten minutes.
The entire donation will be sent
to Mrs Heath in Seattle on the
stage leaving town this morn
ing.
The story of the disappearance
of Jack Heath was published in
The Citizen several weeks ago.
The only remaining details
brought in from the Outside by
Mr. Herring are that nothing has
been heard of Mr.. Heath, and
that he left his wife and child
rem with but 500. He further
states that the Seattle authori-
ties are doing their utmost to
locate the missing Fairbanksan.

American Steamers
Growing in Demand

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Despite the
uncertainty and anxiety in the mar
ket for marine insurance risks by
reason of the German cruiser activi-
ties in Indian and South American
waters. shipping men report that
almost every available ship around
New York harbor, with the exception
of the German and Austrian boats
tied up here, is in use or is likely
to be within a short time.
Shipping rates have gone up 100
and even 200 per cent. in certain
cases since the war. But there has
not been a great growth of exports.
A sign of the times is the fact that
an American ship is inaugurating a
new service with COPENHAGEN: other
ships will be put into the new ser
vice as needed. and as the trade
develops.
