BEER DEALERS
JAILED UPON
DIRECT CHARGE
Y. PETROPOL AND JIM FORCHAS
BEHIND BARS.

ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 27.-Christmas
day at 9 o'clock Judge Charles H.
Brand gave the two near beer dealers,
Victor Petropol and Jim Forchas, who
were arrested Friday night on charges
CT violating the prohibition laws, an
opportunity to be heard, and upon
their statement to him that they had
scld near beer since the 18th he re-
handed both to Jail to remain till the
regular hearing on the injunction mat
ter Tuesday
He held them in contempt of the
court in that they had sold the bev-
e'age after the restraining order had
rassed-the court in it's course having
granted the beer dealers a week or
more in which to dispose of tn stock
on hand Efforts were subsequently,
made to secure the release of the two
men, but they remain in Jail under or
Ger of the court.

CHRISTMAS DAY
REMARKABLE IN
PERFECT ORDER
NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT MAR.
RED THE HOLIDAY.

Never before has Americas enjoyed a
quiet Christmas day more thoroughly
than the holiday just passed-an oc-
Casion marked with perfect order, and
without incident or accident to mar
the occasion. While the weather was
too inclement to permit of out-of-door
exercise and pastimes, the people
spent the day pleasantly in their
homes the most of them surrounded
by the comforts of life in super-abun-
dance. Americas merchants had clos
ed season of phenomenal success
during a holiday period OF three or
four weeks, and all were willing to
shut up shop for one days rest-and
did so. The absence of rowdyism up
on the streets ives pleasingly in evil
dence, and few if any real four cylin-
der jags were moored at the barracks.
1t was a peaceful, fitful, joyous Holt
day in prosperous Americas.

good Grads from military standpoint
The work continues, and contrast be-
tween the old and new order of things
easily obtainable in the course of a
ride outside of Lodz-gives a glimpse
OF the constructive efforts of the Ger
mans.
The Polish population in general has
proven thankful for what has been
accomplishments so because
thousands of its men and women have
received employment in the recon-
struction of the Polish roads, and
have in this way been saved from the
starvation that otherwise stared them
in the face.
1t is peculiar that the women, rath-
er than the men, have done the most
toward rehabilitating their own coun-
try. The women, and grown children,
have proved themselves industrious
workers for the reconstruction of
Poland, while the men with few ex-
ceptions have had to be driven, and
have never overcome their suspicion of
the Germans. This suspicion it is as
sumed, is founded on generations OF
experience of Russian domination. The
men, rather than work offer brides to
the Germans, as they used to offer
them to the Russians, and then appear
utterly dumfounded when the brides
are not excepted and they are con-
fronted with the alternative of work
ing or starving.

GERMANS REBUILD
HIGHWAYS THEIR
ARMIES DESTROYED

WARSAW, Dec. Something
over a million and half dollars have
been expended by the Germans since
their occupany of Poland in recon
structing the unspeakable bad roads
that criss-cross the kingdom at more
CIR less rare intervals, and which have
been all but destroyed by artillery fire
and by the transportation of big guns,
ammunition and food supplies.
For those in charge of the Recon-
struction of Connections between the
Armies and Home" the task has grown
with each wilometer that the Germans
haev won from the Russians. Prior
tc the fall of Warsaw there were ap-
proximately 1915 kilometers (655
miles, of roads to be repaired, but
when the Russians retreated to Brest
Litivsk, and then abandoned that for
tress, the mileage increased to 5440
kilometers (340O miles, and the diff
culties involved grew greater with
each additional mile.
The Germans found on their arrival
a few so-called imperial roads which
were, for the most part, strips of sand
From the inhabitants-or such of them
as remained-they learned that taxes
for the upkeep of the thoroughfares
lad been collected over and over
and never spent for the purpose in
tended. A second class Of roads, the
so-called government streets, were all
but impossible. and the third variety
consisted of roads that not only were
impossible but impossible. ALI three
sorts were torn by shells, cut by.
trenches, and rutted by both Russian
and Germans wagons bound for the
front.
The Germans in charge of road re-
building claim that they never have
had any word as to the ultimate inten-
ton of their government with respect
to 'Poland-that their work has gone
OIL irrespective of any intention to an
mex the ancient kingdom that the
work has been done purely as a sort
OF philanthropic measure and that it
will stand as heritage for those who
may in the future govern Poland.
That it has been thoroughly done,
however, is attested to by the fact that
between 10000 and $4,000 laborers
have been employed in the various
sections of Poland Most of these men
are Poles, thrown out OF their ordinary
occupations by shortage of raw ma
terials.
Throughout the length and breadth
CT Poland the sand stretches are being
bolstered up with wood and stone
and 10000 cubic meters (approxi-
mately YARDS have been used thus far
in making passable roads, even in dis
tricts where no military need for them
exists.
For instance, road 70 kilolmeters
in length has been built to the south
Of LODI, where there have been no
armies for months, and where there is
no immediate prospect of need for

RIGHTS OF WAY
 SOUGHT BY SULzER


 Senator Sulzers electric right-of
 way memorial introduced In the Leg islature Saturday addressed to the President and Congress. is as follows;
 Your memorialists. the Senate and House of Representatives of the Ter ritory of Alaska, most respectfully represent. that:
 Whereas, the Secretary of the ln- terior. in the case of the Miocene Ditch Company (s5 L. D.. 297), held that the provisions Of Sections IS to 21. inclusive, of the act of March 9, 1891. granting rights of way through the public lands for canals. ditchea end reservoirs. have no application to the lands within the District of Alaska, while in the case of the Alaska Tread well Gold Mining Company ct al (40 L. D., 426,) 1t was held that Section of the act of February ], 1905, grant ed rights of way for dams, reservoirs, water plants. ditches, fumes pipes,
 tunnels and canals, within and across the National forests In the District of Alaska. The acts of Congress Feb ruary 15. 1901 (81 Statp 790), and March 4. 1911 CS6 Stat. 125S). pro- vide. among other things. for rights Of way through the public lands, for cots and other reservations of the United States. and in certain National Parks. for electrical plants. poles and lines for the generation and distribu- tiou of electrical power. and for tele- phone and telegraph purposes and for canals ditches. pipes and pipelines fumes, tunnels and other conduits and for water plants. dams and reservoirs used to promote irrigation, mining or Quarrying and the Secretary of the Interior of August 24 1912. and Jan uary 6, 1913. has provided rules and regulations governing such rights of way. under the provisions of said acts. but it is not stated whether these acts shall apply to public lands in the Territory of Alaska and, while it has never been directly held that the pro- visions of these acts do not apply itl is a fact that a number of applications have been filed under these provisions but they have never been allowed, and, if the law as construed in the Mio- cente Ditch company case, supra, is adhered to, it follows as natural con sequence that the provisions of said acts. do not apply to public lands in Alaska We. therefore, have the ano- molous situation of a transmission line passing over lands in Alaska partly within National forest and partly over adjoining public lands, being un- able to receive a franchise for its entire line. a result which it is be- lieved was not contemplated when the laws were enacted. and,
 Whereas. there are throughout the Territory of Alaska a large number of available and undeveloped power pro- iects which can be developed and uti. lized as the demand for such indus

 We. Therefore. Most Respectfully urge your honorable body to pass a suitable law, or laws providing for rights of way over all public lands. both reserved and unreserved. for electrical plants. poles and lines for the generation and distribution of cleo trical power, and for telephone and telegraph purposes and for canals. ditches and pipelines, Cumes. tun- nels. or other water conduits and for water plants, dams and reservoirs used to promote irrigation. mining or quarrying or the manufacture or cut ting of timber for lumber. or the sup. plying of water for domestic, public. or any other beneficial uses with suit able safeguards against monopoly and with such provisions as will result in the natural resources being developed in the interest of all the people.
 And Be It Further Resolved, That a copy hereof be sent to the Presl- dent of the United States; the Presi- dent Of the United States Senate; the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; the chairman of the Committee on Public Lands of the United States Senate; the Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands of the United States House of Represen- tativos; the Honorable James Wick ershap, Delegate to Congress from Alaska; and tho Secretary of the In- terior

 Senator Willard quoted President Wilson's several times expressed rec. ommendation that Alaska be given a full form of Territorial government and Senator Hubbard replied that the phrase had been caught up by certain men in Alaska and pictured as some thing wonderful You've got to have Statehood. or stand right where you are, and that is all there is to it." he exclaimed. in desparaging the move ment to give the Territorial Legisla- ture added powers. Senator Hubbard insisted that Statehood and only Statehood would change governing in Alaska as they are to- day

 Would Hug" Statehood.
 Senator Sulzer said: "Why. ] would open my arms and hug Statehood right today if thought we could get it-but We cannot and it is absurd to think of it We should ask for what we can get. and not for something that would be laughed out of Congress.
 The Senator from the Third is try ing to cloud the issue" be said. State hood is not a question of wanting to get it. it is a question Of getting it.
