Fate Of Sea Safety Treaty In Doubt

Washington. Dec. 23.-While Presi-
dent Wilson. in consulting senators
and legal advisers as to the probable
effect Of the conditional ratification of
the safety at sea convention an in
quiry into the status Of the treaty,
has Convinced officials that it prob
ably Is doomed to failure because of
the European war.
1t appears that 1t will be impossi-
BILE to complete the exchange of ratiH-
cations and give vitality to the treaty
because Germany, Austria and Turkey
are not in a position to send pleni-
potentiaries to London TO sign the
technical act affirming the ratifica-
tions. Under these conditions and
with the certainty that the American
resolution can not reach London in
time to receive consideration OF other
1t Is believed that not even
u protocol. extending the period of
time allowed for exchange of ratifi-
can rescue the treaty from
failure.

Alderman, Causing Loss Of About
$4,000.

Alcolu, Dec. 26.-The beautiful
home Of r. ]. Alderman was de-
stroyed by fire at about II o'clock
Thursday night. The fire originated
on the second floor, supposedly from
q defective electric wire. On account
OF the lateness Of the hour it had
made considerable headway when dis
covered and before sufficient water
pressure could be obtained the flames
had gained such headway as to be
beyond control and the building was
saacS eeyssoRed ed. in flames. The family
was asleep at the time but, aroused
by neighbors in time. escaped from
the building.
Most Of the furniture on the first
floor was saved but all OF the second
story went up in the flames.
The building was erected about six
years ago and was one Of the most
convenient and modern homes in the
country.s
The LOIS is supposed to be about
$4,000. practically covered by insur-
ance. 1t IS understood that Mr.. AL

PLAN NEW PROHIBITION FIGHT.
LEADERS BEGIN REALIGNNfENT
OF FORCES.
Hobson Expresses Opinion That This
Will Mark Gain for the Cause
Seek Another Vote.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Undismayed
oy the defeat in the house yesterday
or the Hobson resolution for a prohi-
bition constitutional amendment, pro-
hibition leaders began realigning their
forces today for another fight in the
ISiXty-fourth congress next December.
Representative Hobson declared a
vote at the next session would be q
material gain for the cause.
Prohibition leaders in congress gen.
orally are inclined tosbelieve it would
be waste Of time to attempt to get
action in the senate this session on
Senator Sheppard's prohibition
amendment resolution which is a du-
Iplicate of the defeated house measure.
South Tremble, clerk Of tine house,
examined last nights final roll call
for opponents Of the Hobson resolu-
ton and found that 1873 Of those who
voted against the measure have been
reelected and will serve in the next
congress. With the 435 members of
the house voting LAG negative votes
will be enough to defeat a proposed
constitutional amendment, so that the
amendment would need all but eight
Of the new members in order to pass
the house.
