Washington, Dec. 23.--Opponents of
prohibition in Congress were confident
~ predicting today that the defeat by
the House of the Hobson resolution to
submit a constitutional amendment
for national prohibition to the state
Legislatures meant that the issue
was dead SO far as action at this ses-
sion is concerned. On the other hand,
prohibition leaders were triumphant
ly pointing to their majority of eight
votes for the resolution and although
it failed corrective the two-thirds vote
necessary to adoption, asserted their
expectations had been fulfilled. They
declared that despite their temporary
defeat they would continue tho fight.
Although a resolution similar to the
Hobson resolution is pending in the
Senate, introduced by Senator Shop
pard of Texas administration leaders
Of Congress expressed the belief to-
day that 1t would not reach a vote
as a result OF the action of the House.
Prohibition leaders predict that pro-
hibi.ion will be made a national issue

of eight, exclusive of pairs, with both

$4,000 FIRE
CAPE jELLIS0N

Cape Jellison, Me, Dec. 23.-Nine Ban
gor & Aroostook freight cars with their
contents were totally destroyed by fire
early Wednesday morning while stand
ing on the tracks near the north end OF
the big potato house. The loss is esti'
mated at about $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
Five of the cars were loaded with pa
per owned by the Great Northern Paper
Co., which was to be trans-shtpped by
the Bull Steamship Co.. and four of the
cars were filed with potatoes. Two car
loads of potatoes were shipped by Mi
ehaud of Fort Kent and two were from
Aovey & Co. of Mars Hill.
The fire started about 1.30 Wednesday
morning and is supposed to have orisf-
mated in one of the cars in which there
was a heater to keep the potatoes from
freezing When the fire was discovered
it had gained such Roadway that there
was no hope of checking 1t until the
cars had been destroyed.
There was almost a gale blowing and
the wind was in the west. The cars
were on the siding at the northerly end
of the large potato house, and the flames
threatened at one time the destruction
of this immense wooden building and
great damage to the Cape Jellison docks.

Early Morning Fire at Ellsworth.

Ellsworth had an early morning fire
Tuesday. An alarm was run in about
6.15 for fire which destroyed the I. l..
Halman barn in Oak street. Shortly
after the fire was discovered by w.
A. Alexander. who gave the alarm.
When first seen the fire was confined
to an addition to the barn. formerly
used as an ice house, but at the time
of the fire empty save for few feet
of sawdust used In the packing Of ice.
The flames spread rapidly and 1t was
with difficulty that the early arrivals
succeeded in saving the wagons and
carts which had been stored in the
barn for the winter. The firemen, al
though quick in their response. were
unable to save the barn but succeeded
in preventing the flames from reaching
the ell and main house. The barn and
ell were connected with shed. The
loss will be considerable as the barn
was an excellent structure, There was
a small insurance. The cause of the
fire is unknown. The Halman's live in
Boston and make Ellsworth their sum-
mer home.

works of permanent value have been in
progress for some time, under the aus
rices of representative citizens in Great

1.-THE outbreak of the terrible European
war in which our country has been call
ed to take part in the defence of the
faith of treaties and Of the rights of the

The noble city of Ghent is in the occupa-

IN the task and sacrifices made necessary
by the nature of the struggle to which
they are pledged. We must hold over
our rejocings for the blessings of the

To-day we can only recall to the pub

Is now completed and utter the prayer
that the peace between the British and
American democracies which so long en-

the disarmament Of the frontier between
the United States and Canada may long
continue as an example to the world of
the safe defence of mutual respect and

PROHIBITION ISSUE IS DEAD
THIS SEASON AT LEAST SAY
OPPONENTS OF AMENDMENT

The final vote came shortly before
midnight last night at the close of
many hours of remarkable debate i'll
which the question of states rights
figured prominently and after several
amendments had been voted upon.
Not for some time had such a spirit
ed struggle been witnessed in Con-
gress. Party lines were shattered.
Democratic Leader Underwood and
Republican Leader Mann, who led the
ti-prohibition forces. were seen
lighting shoulder to shoulder in oppo-
sition to the resolution. The galleries
had been crowded throughout the long
contest with spectators whose fire.
auent applause made 1t difficult for
Speaker Clark to maintain order.
When the final vote was recorded
1t showed that $50 members had voted
1877 and 1879 against the resolution
The resolution failed of adoption by
81 votes, an affirmative vote of 25s
being necessary.
An analysis of the vote showed that

ALBERTSON MURDER
Continued from Page One)

that street, and the cellars of many
were dug up in an endeavor to find
trace of him.
Attention was then turned to small
building in the rear of the house he
had visited Sunday. The cellar, place
only four feet in depth, was examin-
ed and spot found where the earth
appeared to be freshly turned. Digging
disclosed nothing for three feet. then
n few shreds of excelsior were found.
A little lower two boards were en-
countered and further digging revealed
the body of Albertson, slashed with
wounds from neck to knees and throt-
tied with a heavy rope. This rope had
been passed through an iron ring, at
tached to one end, and tied around AL
bertsons head as a gag with the ring
over his mouth. The rope then was
drawn tightly down to the victims
neck and securely turned about it. The
result was gag and moose as the
policemen had never seen before.
Lieut.. Charles r. Vose of Lawrence,
who directed the digging, said that the
body was found with both hands rails
ed over the head, as if he died in an
attempt to ward off blow.
Autopsy Today
An autopsy, to be held tomorrow by
Medical Examiner Perley, is expect
ed to show whether more than one
kind of weapon was used, and wheth-
err the salesman was beaten over the
head in addition to being cut by
knives. In the cellar near the body,
the officers discovered several sticks
of dynamite, and some gun shells
which had been discharged.
The police who came here frora Law
renee said that Albertson recently had
filed a suit for divorce from his wife.
Like Shamiian Case
The circumstances of Albertsons death
resemble those connected with the MUIR
der a year ago Of John K. Shamlian,
jewelry salesman of Mattapan. 1t was
remarked as a coincidence by some of
the Lawrence officers here tonight that
Albertson's home was in Lawrence, the
city where Shamlian was lured to his
death in similar manner, beaten and
killed and robbed of his money and jew
elry stock Shamlian's body was hacked
to pieces and buried in the Andover
woods. Three men are now serving SEN
fences in the state prison tor their COM
plicity in the murder.
New Clues
The police tonight sought in this town
and in Boston a man who had occupied
the shack beneath which the body was
found Neighbors had told them that
this man for several weeks had prac-
ticed firing revolvers and shotguns. and
that he had seemed to have mysterious
dealings with strange men. The woman
to whom Albertson went in seeking sale
of his jewelry Sunday said tonight that
he told her he was looking for Luigi
and asked rs this where Luigi lives?"
She said she knew Of no Luigi in the
house, but suggested he might be in the
shack at the rear. Albertson went there,
she said, and she did not see him again.
