NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Trenches are

Any traveller out of London, especially

LISBON, Dec. 2S.-The entrance of

foreshadowed today, VIXEN the
Chamber of Deputies voted in favor
of making preparations for Portugal
to join England in the conflict.
The chamber also approved pro-
posals for measures to be taken in
defense of the colonies and ali steps
necessary toward placing the country
upon a war footing.
The chamber voted unanimously an
appropriation of S,500000,000 francs
($1. zoe, 900 ,000) to cover the. expenses of
the next six months, including the cost
of the war.
1t is generally expected that Portu-
gals greatest activity will be in
Africa against the German colonies,
should the decision to enter the war
be finally adopted.
The vote in the chamber today fol-
lowed an announcement that tne Ger

Portugal's peace strength consists
OF 10000 men, comprising the home
army and 10000 colonial troops. In

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--Lieuten-
ant Crenshaw, naval radio officer at
the Panama canal zone, cabied the
navy department today that the wire
less of the British steamer Protest
laus, In Balboa harbor, was disman-
tied by canal zone police on December
TO- after it was found the ship had
been sending code messages.
The cruiser Tacoma Is at Cristobal
TO enforce neutrality, and the navy
department still has under considera-
ton the possibility of dispatching an
other vessel to the canal zone.
A British statement recently to the
navy department said Governor Goe-
thals had said in a written commu-
nication that was misinformed when
he charged that a British collier was
using it's radio outfit contrary to neu-
trality. Officials here now assume that
the governor had reference to another
British ship, which also figured in the
official dispatches as having violated
the canal rules by leaving Balboa
without clearance papers, and that
that vessel had been confounded with
the Prutesilnus The unnamed col
lier had no wireless apparatus.

TEN OF JERSEYS
DELEGATION VOTE
TOBEAT DRY BILL
Congressman Baker Only One
to Favor Hobson's Prohibi-
ton Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Oppo-
nents of prohibition in Congress were
confidently predicting today that the
defeat by the House OF the Hobson
resolution to submit constitutional
amendment for national prohibition
to the State legislatures meant that
the issue was dead so far as action
at this session is concerned. On the
other hand. prohibition leaders were
triumphantly pointing to their ma
iority of eight votes for the resolution
and although 1t failed to receive the
two-thirds vote necessary to adop-
ton, asserted their expectations had
been fulfilled. They declared that
despite their temporary defeat they
would continue the fight.
With Congressman Edward w.
Townsend, of the Tenth New Jersey
district, not voting on the Hobson
resolution, ten out of the eleven
members of the New Jersey delega-
tion who registered their ballot voted
against the resolution. The only rep
resentative from that State to favor
the prohibition resolution was Con-
gressman S. Thompson Baker, of the
Second district. Congressman Brown
ing. Scully, Walsh. Tuttie. Hart,
Drukker. Kinkead, Parker, Eagen and

of the opposition.
Both sides appeared to be well satis-
fed with the result. Anti-prohihi-
tionists hailed 1t as a distinct vic
tory, while the supporters Of prohibit
ton asserted that they were exceed

Pardons today paroled John e.

wing life term for murder. Schuyler
was given a life term for the mur-
der of Manning Riley ON the road
near Califon in 1907.
Charles Bird. a convict in the State
prison, recently confessed to the mur-
der for which Schuyler was SEN
fenced.
Many attempts have been made to
have the Court OF Pardons act favor
ably on Schnyler's- petition for Glenn
ency.
Manning Riley was found dead
with his skull crushed in Philhower's s
avenue, Califon. in January, 1907.
Schuyler, who lived at Yernoy. near
Califon, was arrested and lodged in
the Hunterdon county jail charged
with the murder.
Schuyler left Morristown a few
days before his arrest to go to Ledge
wood, Highbridge and Califon. A
beer bottle, on which there was blood,
was picked up near the tragedy, and
it is believed was used by the muir
derer.
After his arrest Schuyler showed
no emotion. He declared his inno-
ence. 1t was brought out at the
trial that Schuyler and Manning had
a fight ten years before the murder.
The conviction of Schuyler was based
entirely on circumstantial evidence.
He would have been the last man to
be hanged In New Jersey If Governor
Edward Casper Stokes had not COM
muted the sentence.

there is nothing in evidence now

BREWERY FAILS
IN COLUMBUS
Decreased Demand for Beer and
Adverse Legislation, Blamed
by Hoster Concern.

COLUMBUS, Dec. 23.--The Hoster-
Columbus Breweries Company, $12,-
D00 900 corporation went into the
hands Of receivers today on order of
the United States District Court.
Decreased demand for beer, adverse
legislation and the voting dry of
many States and counties in the last
eight years" was given as the cause.
The appointment of receivers was
made by Judge Safer upon q showing
that the company had defaulted pay
ment upon a Judgment of IS SIS in
favor of Samuel s. and Victor Stein
er of New York
The court named c. Christianborn
and Carl j. Hoster, large stockhold-
ers of the company, as receivers.
The company had 81 350,000 out
standing capital stock and 81 $3.50 70
outstanding bonds, with $4,000, 900
stock and the same amount Of bonds
authorized. Most stocks and bonds
were secured by mortgages on prop
erty owned by the brewery company
In Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and New Jer-
sey.
Commenting on the causes OF the
failure of the brewery to conduct
paying business, officials of the COM
pany gave out this statement:
"The present situation was due
solely to the loss of sales beyond
anyones control We can mention
the principal causes as follows:
"In Ohio in 1876 the Legislature in
creased the liquor tax from $3.50 to
81, 900, closing nearly 25 per cent. Of
the saloons in the State. The loss in
sales from this amount was more
than 1900 barrels during the re-
naming nine months of that year.
In the same year thirty-five towns
in Ohio In, which we were doing busi-
ness went dry.
''In 1908 the Legislature passed the
Rose county option law, which took
from us annually about 81, 900 barrels
sale in Ohio. In 1908 the full effect
of the Rose law was felt to the ex-
tent OF reducing our sales In that
year to about 270,000 barrels.
I'm 1918 new license law curtailed
the number Of saloons in Ohio thirty
five per cent.
I'm 1914 the crowning blow came in
the loss of West Virginia, where we
did q business of nearly 100000 a
year, to say nothing OF old Virginia's
