EXPECT HOUSE TO VOTE ON RAILROAD BILL TODAY
FEDERAL OFFICERS
 CLOSE BAWDY HOUSES

District Attorney John Rustgard to- day gave instruction to Marshal H. l.. Faulkner to close every bawdy house on both sides of Gastineau channel. Marshal Faulkner says that every oc- cupant of such places will be notified tonight to cease their unlawful prac' tlces immediately, and that the or ders of the district atorney's office with which he heartily concurs shall be rlgidly enforced.
 Speaking of the indictments for which prosecutions have been under way in relation to this matter MT. Rustgard said: q will ask the court to impose a substantial sentence by way of fine in one case against George Rice and that sentence be suspended in the other three for definite per iod."
 q am not going to ask for a sen tence of imprisonment in the present cases because defendants have been invited to conduct the resorts com plalned of and have been misled into the belief that they would be tolerat- ed. In any case that comes up here after, however, I shall insist upon a jail sentence as well as a fine-and l want that distinctly understood.
 "The marshars office Is thoroughly in sympathy with me in this matter and we expect to stay on the trail of these offenders until they are out of the country.
 "My policy has always been to leave all matters of this kind to the munich pal authorities, primarily, because believe that the Federal authorities ought, for the sake of harmony to stay out of the affairs over which mu. nicipalities have Jurisdiction, and sec ondarily, because the municipal au- thorities have much better facilities for properly handling matters of this kind.
 "In dealing with the social evil my office has the choice between only two courses: either to eradicate the cribs, or leave them alone. They have caused such stench in the commun- ity, brought ruin to so many young men, wrecked so many homes, and drawn to the city such a large crim- inal class that the time seems ripe for the Federal authorities to step in and enforce the law,
 "The red light district might be minimized by proper discipline. This could be done by municipal authorities chasing a woman out of the country Iif: first, she supports or entertains a maquerau, second, if there is req son to believe she serves intoxicating liquors, third, if she alolws anybody about the premises who is not of ma. ture age or who is intoxicated, fourth, !! if there is ever a complaint that any body is robbed in her place, fifth, if she solicits bushes or insists upon as' sociating with respectable people in public places.
 of course, to enforce regulations of this kind successfully requires mu' nicipal officers of probity and high intelligence and with plenty of deter imitation and frmness of character, and such other qualities as distinguish successful executive officers, It is ev- | ident that the Federal officials cannot go into any such cleansing process"

 Feature of Alaska Bill

Washington, Feb. 1s. - In the committee of the whole House this afternoon, by a vote of s3 to 87, an amendment offered by Repre- sentative John ]. Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman of the appro- priations committee, eliminating the s4o,ooo,ooo bond issue provis- lon of the Senate Alaska railroad bill was adopted, and a provision inserted providing that the rail- road shall not cost to exceed 1885,. 100000 and appropriatlns S1o,ooo,- 900 to start the work. Fitzgerald contended that the road should be built from current revenues of the government, and that the bonded indebtedness of the Nation should not be increased.
 An effort will be made by the supporters of the bill to have the bond feature re-lnstated. The vote was so close on the amendment that they are hopeful that they will be able to accomplish 1t, but they refuse to make predictions on the point.
 Bill VIII Pass Today.
 The friends of the measure still con tend that 1t will pass the House be fore adjournment today, though at o'clock 1t has not been disposed of. With the bill adopted, 1t is believed that the Senate will insist upon tho of the $4O,OOO,OOO bond pro and 1t is thought the House wil consent in the end.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Detailet consideration of the Alaska railroad bill was resumed in the House of Rep resentatives today with the administra tion leaders confident that final vot' is near at hand.

Yorkshire yeoman who bred horses

steeplechases. He did not get on, and
was very much depressed.
One day the clerk said to him: If
you please, sir, the prayers OF the
church are desired for Lucy Gray"
Very WELL" said the curate, and at
every service in which the prayer FOR
all sorts Of conditions Of men was
offered, the church was asked to pray
for Lucy Gray, till one morning the
clerk rushed into the vestry and said:
You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeplechase.'

But the clerk said: You'll do nowt
of the sort, sir; l thought little Of We
when ye came, but now ye've got the
hearts of them all, and ye can do
what ye like in the parish since we
took to having prayed for that horse.

President Appoints October q, as Da.
of Supplication.

OF Supplication.
President Wilson on last Tuesday
signed a proclamation calling on the
people of the United States to pray
for peace n Europe. The proclama-
ton sets aside October 4, as a day OF
prayer.
The presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas great nations of the
world have taken arms against one
another and war now draws millions
Of men into battle when the counsel
of statesmen have not been able to
save from the terrible sacrifice;
And, whereas, in this, as in all
things, it is our privilege and duty
to seek counsel and succor Of AL
mighty God, humbling ourselves be-
fore him, confessing our weakness
and our lack of any wisdom equal to
these things;
And, whereas, it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of
the United States in prayer and coun-
sci and all friendliness, to serve the
cause Of peace;
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next, a day
of prayer and supplication and do
request all God-fearing persons to re-
pair on that day to their places of
worship, there to unite their petit
tions to Almighty God, that overruling
the counsel of men, setting straight
the things they cannot govern or al
ter, taking pity on the nations now in
and goodness showing a way where
men can see none, he vouchsafe his
children healing peace again and re-
store once more that concord among
can be neither happiness nor true
friendship nor any wholesome fruit or
toll or thought in the world; praying
also to this end that he forgive us our
sins, our ignorance of his holy will.
our wilfulness and many errors, and
lead us in the paths Of obedience to
places Of vision and to thoughts and
counsels that purge and make wise.
"In witness whereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand and authorized the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington.
