Lane To Have All
 the Money Needed
Chairman of Appropriations Com Mittee Says So in
 Seattle.

Secretary Franklin Lane can have all the money he wants for the pur- pose of railroad building in Alaska even though the amount asked for by him should be the whole thirty-three million dollars which remain of the tlmrty-fve millions provided tor by the act of congress. This is stated on the authority of no less person than Congressman J. J. Fitzgerald, the chairman of the appropriations com mittec of the house, who said so in speech in Seattle in the hearing of MaI,ice D. Leehey, who arrived in Seward last night from Anchorage. Mir. Leehey is a member of the Al aska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, director of the Bank of Seward and one of the most prom inent lawyers of the state of Wash ington. When Fitzgerald was in Seattle some time ago, Mir. Leehey says, he made a speech in which he recalled to the memory of his hearers the statements to the effect that Secretary Lane had asked only for two millions at the last session be- cause he believed it impossible to se- cure any more. "This statement" said the chairman of the apprOpria tionS committee, means that l as head of the committee would have re- fused to give Mir. Lane a greater amount, but l want to assure you that, although I was opposed to the railroad bill and would probably op- pose it now, that bill has become law and Secretary Lane can have all of that thirty-three million dollars at any time he asks for it."
 Mir. Leehey, as all others would takes this to mean that when MT. Lane asks for the eight or ten mil lions at the coming sesion he will have no trouble in securing it and tha. the house will live up to the law which it took part in having enacted. Mir. I.eehey thinks we'll of all this railroad country, Anchorage and Se- ward, and he sees big things ahead for us. He will be here for several days awaiting a boat.

DRY LAW BARS LOCKER SYSTEM
Governor Carlson Puts That Construc-
ton on Prohibition Measure.


Denver-Governor Carlson believes
the dry" law prohibits the mainten-
ance of the locker system In social
clubs. by means Of which each mem
ber could keep liquor. The executive
said clubs cannot be classed as
members homes" "A man cannot
have two homes - his club and the
place where his family lives-any more
than he can have two wives" the
governor declared.
Leading clubs of Denver have an.
nounced their intention to dispense en-.
tirely with liquor after Jan. ] If the

court
Within the rext three weeks a meet

cuss prosecutions of violators of the
prohibition law.
A special call will be issued by Dis.
trict Attorney Purcell of FL Paso
county. president, according to Cover
nor Carlson.
The governor and the attorney gen
cral will meet with the prosecutors.
A special fund OF $1,000 was
granted the governor by the General
Assembly to aid in the enforcement of
the law, and 1t is probable the COVER
nor will appoint a special officer to
aid in gathering evidence.
Bargain sales OF liquors in antici-
patton of the enforcement of the law
have already begun, and many citizens
are beginning to stock their cellars.
According to state officials the only
place an individual can keep liquor for
his own consumption, without liability
of seizure, will be his own home.
Estimates vary as to the amount OF
liquor now held by Colorado dealers
which they will have to sell or ship
away. Federal revenue officers think
the total value is at least $3.5Oo,OOO.
Adolph Seibold, president of the
Liquor Dealers Association, esti-
mates 1t at between $2.5O0,O0O and
