the issue involved In the election and.
therefore, while the form Of ballot wae
not preferred, yet should the senate
and the house decide to adopt the
amended form of ballot the Legislative
committee Of the Anti-Saloon league
does not believe that 1t would be JUS
titled In refusing to accept the bill be-
cause Of this change. 1t will simply
necessitate thorough and clearcut
statements before the people Of the
exact issue involved, viz, whether Vir-
sinia shall permit local communities
to have saloons and liquor shipping
houses to debauch not only the chill
dren of their own communities. but
also the people of "dry" communities.
or whether there shall be a law which
will prohibit the manufacture and sale
Of liquors in every hamlet, town and
city OF our great Commonwealth.
The above statement sets forth the
position Of the legislative committee
of the Anti-Saloon league upon the
amendments proposed by the senate
committee. The legislative COMMITTEES
Is willing to accept any amendments
which will improve the bill. but II
cannot accept any amendments which
will vitiate the principle involved or
which will protract the life Of the IL
ouor traffic beyond May 1. 1915.

GREAT EXHIBITION

The exhibition given by the gymna-
SUM classes of the Young Women
Christian association in their gym at
Fourth and Cary. streets last night
was one of the most interesting and
successful which has been given in
recent years. The seating capacity OF
the gallery and floor was insufficient
to accommodate great many who
wished to witness the drills and dances
and numbers were turned away. On
this account and with the unanimous
reclamation of the members of the
classes who took part in the program
last night the exhibition will be re-
peated next Tuesday night at Sis
o'clock.
There were probably a hundred diff
ferent young ladies who took part In
one or more of the dances last night.
The program was lengthy one. but
was carried through with precision and
without delay. Those taking part were
in costume, those of several of
the dances being especially attractive,
Jumping Jacks" the second number
on the program. and a drill in which
a number of little tots. variously at
tired, took part. was one of the most
pleasing numbers given. Others which
attracted special attention were the
Dutch Windmill Quadriile," given by
Hornpipe." by the Neighborhood club,
and the Combination Drill" by the
Leaders class.
Basketball Came.
A basketball game between the Mos
quitoes and the Magp1es, which re-
suited in a victory for the Mosquitoes
by an S-to-S score, concluded the pro-
gram, and was one OF the features OF
the exhibition. There was consider
able rivalry displayed by the rooters
OF the teams and cheers and chants
followed one another in quick success
sion. The game Was q corker and was
marked by clever and hard playing on
the part OF all OF the participants.
1t was one Of the closest which has
been staged In the gymnasium for
some time, and at the end Of the game
the score was = tie. to g. Extra time
WAS allowed. and extra hard play re-
suited. the Mosquitoes eluded the Mag
pies 10 successfully that they tossed
basket and won.

BEARING STARS OF THIRTEEN
ORIGINAL STATES WAS CAR
RIED INTO DAMASCUS

Miss Mary l. Simpson. of Peters
burg. yesterday presented to Gov
ernor Mann TO be placed in the State
library. a most valuable and interest
ing relic In the shape OF an old flag
of the United States. which bearl
the stars of the thirteen original
States Of the union.

ried into Damascus ana was taken In
184s. by Lieutenant William F.
Lynch. OF the United States navy, the
uncle OF Miss Simpson and the grand
father Of Lieutenant Colonel Juntus
r. Lynch. surgeon general OF the
Virginia militia
The following extract from the Eek
pedition to the Dead Sea and the
Jordan" by Lieutenant Lynch. gives
an interesting account Of the trip into
Damascus:
Before entering the city. we were
advised to furl our flag, with the as
surance that no foreign one had ever
been tolerated within the walls; that
the British consufs had been torn
down on the nrst attempt to raise 1t,
and that the appearance of ours,
would excite commotion and perhaps
lead to serious consequences. But
we had carried II to every place We
had visited and determining to take
our chances with 1t. We kept 1t flying
Many angry comments were, be-
iieve. made by the popuiace. but al
we did not understand what our toor-
Eeman was too wary to interpret, we
passed unmolested."
Although the flag n some sixty
six years old. II il in q very good state
Of preservation. and IL a welcomed
addition to the library. 1t was en-
deavorcd to have the flag placed In
the Smithsonian institute. but AZ
Lieutenant Lynch was a virEinian his
wife desired that the State OF Vir-
girfia should be the custodian.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Search today by
police and hospital authorities failed
to disclose any clue to 80 milligrams
of radium believed to have been lost
or stolen several days ago, while be-
ing used in the treatment of a can
Ger patient. Unless the person haY-
ing the precious particle of radium-it
is half the size of a pins head and is
worth $4506--in his possession knows
how to protect himself from its influ-
ence, 1t ma kill him, according to
the hospital sicians. If, instead of
being stole is mislaid, it will de-
clare its p ssence by its influence on
whatever substances are around it. 1t
was kept in a platinum capsule one
eighth OF an inch in diameter and
three quarters of an inch long.
1t would be impossible to sell the
missing bit of radium, it was said. A
record is kept of every particle known
to exist in the world and this piece is
on that register.

SUPREME EFFORT TO
SETTLE THE MICHIGAN
COPPER MINE STRIKES.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. BIN an effort
to end the labor troubles In the cop
per country, representatives of the va
rioUs state labor unions will draft a
plan fer settlement which they Will
ask GOV. Ferris 10 forward to President
Shaw of the Calumet & Hecla Mining
Co. at Boston. At a conference or
union men here this afternoon, 1t was
decided to take the matter over the
head of James McNaughton, general
manager of the Calumet & Hecla, IN
the hope. they said, of further arous-
ing public sentiment and forcing the
mining companies to come to terms
or at least to submit the differences
between them and their employees to
board Of arbitration.
In the event the mining companies
involved in the strike refuse to treat
with their former employees or pay any
attention to the request of the COVER
nor that they at least meet the repre-
sentatives of the Labor organizations,
the union men insisted that Governor
Ferris call a special session OF the
Legislature and advocate the passage
of a tonnage tax. Yelled threats Oh
using the recall We're made in case the
governor refuses to call q social SEES
sion Il attempts to arbitrate fan. Al
though the governor informed Clarence

mer president of the United Mine
Workers, and President M-p. Malone,
of the International Street Railway

in FAY or of this plan, that he woulo
continue to do everything in his power
to bring about a settlement, he did not
saw ne would call a special session OF

the passage of a tonnage act.
Mr.. barrow told the governor the
PEOPLE of the upper peninsula were III
orally sitting upon key OF poWoer
that was liable to explode at any time.
You know the feeling. that exists
in the upper peninsula and realize IL
would take but little to cause serious
trouble" said barrow.
He then charged that the strikers
would not get a fair chance before the
grand Jury that has been empaneiled
in Houghton county
"The chaueffur of James MacNaugh-
ton, general manager of the Calumet
& Hecla, one mine manager ana eight
members of the Citizens Alliance are
members of the grand jury, but notice
none of the strikers were placed on
the Jury" said barrow.
The governor assured barrow thae
this was the first time such n charge
had been made to his knowledge, ana
he promised a thorough investigation
would be made.
barrow strongly urged the governor
TO remove Sheriff cruz. In my MIND
the militia is needed in the copper
country today, more than ever before,
said barrow.

POSSIBILITY OF RATE
WAR ON THE ATLANTIC.

London, Dec. 31-The possibility of
an Atlantic rate war has been increas-
ed by the report that the Hamburg
American Co intends to place some OF
it's biggest ships, including the Gin
cinnati and Cleveland, in service
making Queenstown a port Of call dur
ing the summer season. The steamship
Hamburg will call at Queenstown, Jan.
20, 1914, one day before the rate con-
ference meets In Paris. She will be
the first steamer sailing from Ireland
for America without a previous call
at an English port.
It was planned to have the Ham
burg make her first call at Queens
town on Jan. 6, but the magnitude of
the civic reception which is being pre-
pared for her caused a postponement.
Boston. Dec. 31.-The officials of the
Hamburg American Line announced
tonight that the ships sailing in the
Boston Hamburg service will call reg
ularly at Queenstown and Boulogne.
The first ship to stop at Queenstown
will be the "Rhaetia" sailing from
Boston February 5. Other steamers in
the Boston service of the liner are the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Amerika and
Fuerst Bismarck.
