ANTS FIGHT TO STAVE OFF
MAKING Of PROHIBITION
Contineud from page

The brewery interests fought this
law for a long time, but the injustice
of the United States overriding the
autho ority of the states withip their
own jurisdiction finally prevailed on
congress to take another stand on the
subject
May Trip 1t OH District.
Another prohibition resolution
which seems likely to succeed is one
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
Of liquor in the District Of Columbia,
where congress has exclusive legisla-
tive Jurisdiction. There will be a. hard
fight on this resolution made by the
city of Washington, which is now as
piring to be u metropolitan place, the
winter resort OF people of wealth and
fashion. and which rejects the idea
that a prohibition town will appeal to
the idle and moneyed class.
Already there is considerable growl-
ing over the restrictive legislation that
has been plastered upon the district.
Congress is very little moved by local
sentiment and If it wants to prohibit
the sale of liquor in the district as an
example to the rest Of the country, it
Undoubtedly will do so whether fash

The remarkable action of the Rus
sian empire in totally prohibiting the
sale Of liquor during the war has i'm
pressed everybody. The value Of the
measure has been reflected in the bet
ter fighting quality of the army as
shown in this war over the contest

IN France the free sale Of absinthe,
which was becoming the curse of the
country. stopped Immediately upon
the outbreak of hostilities, and It is
believed by many that France will
never go back to the absinthe sale,
but will confine her drinking hereaft-
er to those native wines which are
comparatively harmless.
The opposition speeches will be
along the line Of the impracticability
of total prohibition in a country as
extended as the United States with
such a vast foreign commerce with
wine and whiskey-producing countries
and with long border that could
hardly be protected from liquor ship
ments being smuggled across; also on
the ground that national prohibition
is largely manufactured sentiment.

TO WAIT awhile
Thinks He Has Been Irnpos-
ed upon by American
League Attorneys.
FAMOUS STAR SAYS
ITS UP TO LEAGUE
Has Not Conferred With
Rebel Head Since he Sign
ed With the Senators.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-Walter Johnson,
former star of the pitching staff OF the
Washington Americans who signed
with the Federal league and who Sat
urday was reported to have returned
to tho Americans, has not communl-
Gated with James A. Gilmore, presi-
dent Of the Federals nor returned the
$4,000 Gilmore advanced him accord
ing To the head Of the league yester-
day.
Gilmore reiterated his belief that
johnson had been imposed upon by
attorneys for the American league
who had convinced the pitcher the
reserve clause Of the American league
contract would serve to prevent his
pitching for the Federals.
Gilmore sent johnson a. lengthy
telegram yesterday urging the pitch
er to visit Chicago at the expense of
the Federals and submit the contracts
to three able lawyers to be chosen by
disinterested persons. IF it is the
opinion of these lawyers that your ac-
tion was Justified" continued the
telegram. ''it will place you in the
proper light before the sport loving
people Of the world.
On the contrary il it is .their ppin-
ion that your action was not honor
able and you then do not quickly re-
pudiate the new contract which you
signed yesterday. you will carry on
your shoulders forever a sure defalna-
ton of character
III You take this action and come to
Chicago, / will know it was the un-
fair tactics and influence Of older
men who after hours of persuasion

Gilmore said he now held Johnson's
1914 contract with Washington, call
ing for $4,000 Of which $500 was
salary and $4,000 an option. johnson
complied With the terms of tho op-
ton in first Offering his services to
the Senators, Gilmore said.
When the st. Louis Federals with
drew their offer of $4,000 to John

they were through with him. Wash

the option. He telegraphed me he
was unable to make terms with Wash

Gilmore declared unless johnson
ralne to Chicago in response to his
telegram, he would Immediately bring
court action to prevent the pitching
star from serving THE Washington
club.
Gilmore left here last night, but de-
c!ared he did not intend to visit john

LAUGH WITH US.

A youngster whose parents had
taken him for the first time from his
inland home to the seashore became
interested in oysters. One day they
were served at table, on the half
shell, and he asked, Mother. what
are those?"
oysters, dear. Raw oysters"
Can you eat them-like that?"
"Oh, yes."
,"Can have one?"
why. yes, IL you want it."
He put the slippery thing into his
mouth. but retained it there for ex-
Fermentation. The attention of the
company meanwhile was. attracted
elsewhere. and when finally the moth
er turned again to her son his face
had undergone a change.
"WouId 70" W mother OYSTER.

NO REASON FOR FEAR
OVER SEWER ODORS
ALONG RIVER FRONT
Detaching of Old Extended Pipe
Outlets at Different Points
Is the Cause

Perhaps no public work in the city
has ever been more closely watched
by the people generally than the i'm
provement along the River Front,
owing to the fact that thousands of
people resort to the green park strip
during the summer season.
For several days there has been
considerable complaint about sewer
odors at different points along the
river and the principal engineer of
the Board of Public Works was asked
this morning regarding this condition.
He said there was nothing to be
alarmed about, inasmuch as the de-
taching of the old extended pipe out
let's at different points was the imme-
diate cause and this would be reme-
died as soon as the work shall have
been completed. He explained that
the old castiron pipe is now being cut
off at the wall and a concrete box is
being constructed in such a manner
as to place the outlet of the lateral
sewer beneath the surface of the
river. This will eliminate all sewer
odors. which will amount to little
after the steps shall have been COM
pleted. Indeed the silt basins at in
tervals in the big interceptor will take
up all of this gas and prevent the
offensive conditions.
Had the unsightly sewer outlets
been allowed to remain in the river
beyond the wall lines they would not
only have been a menace to boats and
canoes, but would have created ed
dies along the wall that would have
overcome in some measure the very
purpose of the Improvement
The Sucker Brothers Construction
Company is cleaning up the deposits
outside the wall as rapidly as possible
and those stretches which cannot be
removed by the steam shovel will be
eliminated by men with picks and
shovels and the debris back of the
wall will be removed by the use of
wagons and carts.

SPY! SPY! YELLS
GERMAN CROWD At
ACADEMY PROFESSOR
Four Others Shot Down Without
Warning When They Tried
to Run Away

Professor j. c. Allen, of the Harris
burg Academy faculty accompanied
by Mrs. Allen and their baby, arrived
in Harrisburg last night after a jour
ney from Cologne after the declaration
of war between German and Russia
marked by hardships and experiences
they will not soon forget.
AS previously noted by the Tele-
graph, Professor Allen was arrested in
Cologne by the military authorities
because he carried a Camera and was
therefore suspected of being a spy.
He was paraded through the streets
escorted by soldier on one side and
a policeman on the other while an
eVergrowing mob at his heels cried:
Spy! Spy! Down with the spy"
Professor Allen was finally able to
prove his identity and he did not fully
realize his danger until the day fol-
lowing when soldiers shot down with
out warning or inquiry four men sus-
pected of spying in the very vicinity
in which he was when he was arrest
ed.
The Aliens came over on the New
Amsterdam, of the Holland American
line, which landed in New York Mon
day afternoon at 2.35 o'clock with
nearly 5000 passengers on board.
Eight times the boat was stopped by
French, German and British battle
ships and cruisers. Once two shots
were fired at the ship. She sailed from
Rotterdam August 8.

Professor Allen to-day. but there was
