WHO WILL RUN
 FOR COUNCIL |?
SOME PRESENT MEMBERS SHY AND SOME RE-
 FUSE.

Some of the members of the present council will run for reelection and this statement is orly founded on eNper- fences of the past in attempting to se- cure expressions of the intentions and the answers that were forthcoming during such efforts. All the memacrS of the council were asked today whether they intend to run or not and, indeed, not one said that he expected to be a candidate. John Noon has left for Juneau to attend the session of the legislature, Mayor Boe de- clares that he has not decided on what course to pursue in thas respect. "If I can get out of it" said the mayor q would like to do so. It takes up too much of a mans time"
 q will decide in few days whether I will run or not" said Councilman Al Chamberlain. He went on to state he has given two years to the council. "It is a question whether I can give any more time to the city's public affairs" he continued7
 Charles Crawford has mot made up his mind" He says he has given three years service. From his words one could only conclude that matters out side his own personal wishes might affect his decision, and, indeed the same may be said of the other unde- cided ones.
 q will not be a candidate" said J. l.. Graef and he went on to inquire "hOw much was that knowledge worth" MT. Graef is very clearly not a candidate. Nor is Charles Crawford. MT. Craw- ford is going outside in June tempor- arily because of family affliction mentioned elsewhere. He will not run. When the others were interviewed Councilman "Fat" Hewitt was not visible, wonderful to be said cOnsid- ering the copious amount of Fat Hewitt there is.. He was probably hid ing behind mountain at least but later he will be nabbed.
 New names are cropping up every day as possible or probable candidates for the council but the political move ment is still in its embryonic stages.

COLORADO HOUSE PASSES BILL TO CURB AGITATING
 SHEETS.

DENVER, Feb. 2S.-The lower house of the state legislature today passed the bill authorizing the govern or to suspend newspapers which pub fish articles that tend to incite to riot ing. The bill is admittedly aimed at the newspapers that have taken the side of the striking miners. Much Op- position to the measure has come from quarters which are not at all likely to take the side of strikers but in these quarters there is strong sentiment against curtailing the liberty of pap CTS and they point out that when pap CTS make such liberty a license there is enough law to bring them to time The upper house is believed to be ready to pass the bill the very moment it comes before it.

WOMAN JUMPS FROM THE
 WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
First Suicide Committed by Leaping From the Famous
 Memorial.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The first suicide committed by jumping from WashingtOn's monument occur red last night when Mrs. W. F. Cork erell leaped from the summit of the memorial structure and was dashed to death. Several people were witnes- ses of the sensational act. An inquest will be held today and the reasons for the woman's self destruction will probably be made public but up to the present the true story is not known. Since the building of the monument the remark has been made a million times that no one had ever thought of shufling off by jumping from it so that the suicide of Mrs CorkerelI has made an incident of much com ment.

 AIDS DIVORCE
GOES BACK TO SIX MONTHS TERM THAT MADE RENO

CARSON CITY, Feb. 24.-The gov ernOr today signed the six months residence divorce law and so the state goes back to the same old law that existed a couple of years ago and that n; 'e the state famous as the me "a of those who wished to be released from the matrimonial bonds. The bill has been pending for some time and was a very much debated measure. Since the repeal of the six months law a very noticeable falling off in busi- ness has taken place. Other laws re- cenii, enacted by che state and others still to come up for decision indicate that Nevada will soon be thi most "open" state in the Union.

NIGHT RIDERS DRIVING COLOR. ED FARMERS FROM

NASHVILLE, Feb. 24.-The gov ernor has threatened to call out the militia to put down the night raiders who are now up in arms and driving the negro renters off their farms in Lake County. The condition of the county is hardly better than a state of anarchy and violence of the most brutal kind is being visited on the un- fortunate .cOlored people if they hesi- tate to obey the night raiders orders. So far as can be told at present no lives have been taken but threats of lynching are so frequent that it is feared some of them will be carried out.

ROUMANIA SOON TO FIGHT

LONDON, Feb 24-The news came today from the most authentic sources that Roumania will place army in the field in April to aid the allies. The Roumanan gov enment has not of course given out any information of
 ciay as to its intentions. 1t is known that German bank CTS have given loan of one hundred million to the Bull garan government and there is supposed to be danger that the Bugarans will endeavor to recover it's lost ter ritory from Roumana should the latter enter the war The delay of Roumana is supposed be the fear of this threat but from other sources comes the report that the two countries have settled their differences The retire ment of the Russians from BukOwna has probably delay ed the Roumanan entry into the as the Romanians would now be compelled to take the field in territory sep arated from that occupied by their allies.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Carter liar rison was defeated yesterday for the re-nomination by Robert S. Sweitzer, Cook County clerk. Sweitzer won by seventy-fve thousand votes. The large majority was due to several causes but the most interesting sug- gestion made to account for the over whelming vote is that Sweitzer had the German vote for him almost en bloc as a result of the feeling caused in this country by facts relating to the European war.

THE ROUT OF BOOZE.


During the last half century's his
tory Of the American congress there
has been no session more astonishing
in its results than that of the day the
prohibition amendment went to a vote
After a debate lasting eleven hours,
the House of Representatives.
strongly democratic body-gave ma
iority approval to constitutional
ameniment, of which the principal
section provided:
The sale. manufg cture for sale,
transportation for sale, importa-
tion for sale of intoxicating liquor
for beverage purposes in the Unit
ed states and all territory subject
to the Jurisdiction thereof are for
ever prohibited.
The proposal required, OF course
two-thirds majority Of both House and
Senate, after which the amendment
would be submitted for ratification to
the legislatures Of the states, its fnal
adoption requiring the assent OF three
fourths Of the states
or the 433 members OF the House,
80 declared themselves, one member
merely voting present" and 1917 fav-
ored the amendment, ls9 voting against
it. Thus the project of national pro
hibition, while it received twenty votes
less than a majority of the full mem
bership and ninety-one less than the
necessary two-thirds, polled a majority
of eight of those voting. Moreover,
the declaration for prohibition was
made emphatic, since that system was
favored instead of local option by
states.
The mere record of the vote, how
ever, does not reveal the startling
strength OF the demand for sentence
of national outlawry against the liquor
traffic. Ii must be remembered that
this. the most radical proposal ever
offered on the question, carried the
House of Representatives on its first
test. Counting the members present
and voting. eighteen state delegations
lined up solidly for the amendment
and twelve for it by from 60 to 30 per
cent. Here is the record
Solid for Prohibition-Arizona,
Arkansas. Colorado, Florida, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, New Mexico,
North Dakot,, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee. Vermont, Washington,
West Virginia, Wyoming-lS.
Gave Majority for Prohibition

Solid Against Prohibition-Con.
necticut, Delaware, Indiana, Mas

shire, Rhode Island, Utah-s.
Thus the delegations of thirty OF tn
forty eight states declared for nationa
prohibition. And it is significant tina
not single member of the House wa
elected exclusively as representative
Of the prohibition party. The vot
against liquor came from democrats

Canaries kept in cages are apt to
get a minute red insect in the feath-

such is the case the bird should have
a little insect powder sprinkled under
the wing, and the cage should be
scalded out, and dried thoroughly in
the sun, or before the fire. A small
bag of sulphur should be hung up in
side the top of the cage.
