purposes to have a bill providing for the
treating Of all Intoxicating drinks con-
tanning more than per. cent Of alcohol
as poisons introduced into the legfsla-
ture Of New York State. II IA the An
derson proposal that local temperance
omcials are considering. They agree
with Mr.. Anderson's declaration that
whisky, beer. and similar spirits are
poison and should be treated as such.
Favors Anderson Proposal.
There is a law providing for labels
on carbolic acid and other deadly drugs.
Why shouldn't there be similar proyis-
ions made for the treatment OF intoxf-
cants?' said Andrew Wilson, president
of the local league, today. Science has
eonclusively proved that alcohol Is as
poisonout as can be. 1t is the cause
of more degeneracy, crime and disease
than anything else known to man. Why
ShOulo not the drinkers OF intOxicants
be ever confronted with the nature OF
the stun they are about TO put into
their systems?
am heartily in favor of a law along
the lines proposed by Mr. Anderson
The matter win be taken up oficially
at the next meeting Of the league
Miss Georgia Robertson, prominent as
q temperance worker, also heartily in
dorses the Anderson proposal.
Poison Label Is Urged
IF men and women are made 10
realize that they are drinking poison
they will soon cut down their drauRhts
Sr abstain altogether from the drugs.
said Miss Robertson. place a skull
and cross bones label on every bottle
of whisky and every bottle OF, beer and
you are doing humanity a great service
Statistics prove that most OF IN.
crime and disease Of the world Is ths
result Of the use Of narcotics Whisky
ID narcotic stimulant Of the worst
scrt It is habit forming drug. Why
shouldn't it be labeled as are other
poisonous drugs? We certainly viii,
have legislation providing for such
treatment Of intoxicants eventually.

TURKISH ENVOY
 QUITS. HIS JOB
Had Trouble With President Wilson and Made Some Very Plain
 Statements.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Yous- sour Zia Pacha, Turkish ambassador to the United States, has resigned and his resignation has caused d sen sation here in diplomatic circles. It is believed that President Wilson has informed the Sultan that Ambassa- dor Pacha was persona non grata"
 ecause of the interview he gave out about two weeks ago when Great Britain infofmed the State depart ment that in the event of trouble in Turkey the Triple Entente would well come the presence of American war ships in Turkish waters to protect foreign citizens.
 The ambassador gave out state ment in which he said that the peo. pie of the United States were no more civilized than were the Turks. and pointed to the lynching of ne- groes in the South and West as ex- amples of our wonderful civilization. He also made the threat that Amer lea would get all that was coming to 1t if they interfered and that the United States was being used by England as a cats paw, as they wish ed to draw the American republic in- to the European war.

BANKS BOARDING
 ALL THE MONEY
Government Manufacturing 1t In Bales, But Banks Store 1t Away In
 Safes, Where 1t Does No Good

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The row started yesterday by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo between himself and the banks of the South has ex- tended now to the banks of the North. McAdoo claims that the banks are refusing to loan money, although he has been manufacturing currency by the bale the past month and in spite of the coining of new money by the hints, yet the supply was less than ever this month and that some means must be found to compel the banks to let go of the dough.
 The bankers laugh at the secre- tary and have informed him that they intend to continue conservative bank ing and will not lay the foundation for terrible panic by extending credits during times of unrest when all speculative ventures should be forced to halt and wait for better times. They have all refused to al- low the head of the Treasury depart ment, who is also a member of the reserve board to dictate to them how to run their business.
 McAdoo also claims that state banks over which the department has no control are hoarding money and that the result will be 8 panic.

ADMIRAL LINE ID
 BUY NEW SHIPS Will Replace III-fated Sampson Probably Purchase In East, Where
 Many Idle Vessels.

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-President AL exander of the Alaska-Pacifc Navi- gation Co.,, operating the Admiral Line, announced last night that his company would purchase a new steamer to replace the Admiral Samp- son which was lost one month ago near this city. The president did not state if a ship had been selected or not, but it is known here that many vessels on the Atlantic coast are for sale as shipping has been destroy ed by the war and cargoes cannot be secured at this time, and the ships are therefore on the market at low prices.
 The new steamer will be used on the run from Puget Sound to San Francisco.
