DEALERS GETTING
 RID OF LIQUORS
Seattle Saloonmen See Futility of Fighting Prohibition and Are
 Clearing House for First.

SEATTLE, Nov. 26.-The whole sale liquor dealers in this city are withdrawing their stocks of import ed liquors from the government bonded warehouses and are disposing of it as quickly as possible in order to prepare for prohibition, which will go into effect on January 1. Much of the surplus stock has been sent to California and Alaska and no new shipments have been received for sev- eral months. ,.,
 Scores of the liquor dealers have notified their landlords that they will surrender their leases at the begin ming of the year as it is feared that no business to which they could be turned will stand the rent now being asked from the saloons. The closing of the saloons will cause some of the best business locations in Seattle to become vacant, but many of them are preparing to enter other businesses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.--As the trial of the four officials of the Ham, burg American Steamship company progresses it becomes more evident that the department of justice is in possession of many facts in connec- tion with the conspiracy to aid the German commerce raiders, which have not been permitted to leak out During the trial Saturday afternoon, Captain Falkenburg, of the Ameri- can steamer Berwind, testifying on behalf of the government prosecu- tion, made oath that his steamer had been operated by the Hamburg American company to render aid to the German warships. -~,
 Captain Falkenberg testified that during September. 1914, with Capt Poppinghause, one of the Hamburg American officials now on trial on board the Berwind, the vessel had taken two thousand tons of coal and food to five German warships and that he had witnessed the battle in which two of the German warships were sunk.
Valdez daily prospector., 1915-11-26

The federal prosecutor stated that the steamer Berwind was but one of sixteen American vessels which were known to have been operated by the Hamburg-American Steamship com pany officials in supplying the Ger man warships, while they were raid- ing commerce of the nations with which Germany is at war. It is as serted that Captain Boy-Ed. naval at tache of the German embassy at Washington, paid two million dol lars to the company for chartering the steamers and assisted the officials of the company in securing clearance papers under false affidavits as to their cargoes and destinations.
 Capt. Falkenberg stated that he had picked a crew carefully with a view of preventing the operations of the Berwind becoming known and said that during the time the coal and food was being transferred to the warships the members of the crew, except the German sailors, were kept in the hold where they could not gain knowledge of what was taking place.

2VIENNA, Nov. 26.-It is unoffi- SiaIly reported that the Austrian government in replying to the note of Secretary Lansing the American state department, concerning the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona, by an Austrian submarine, will in sist that the captain of the Ancona would not stop his vessel when fired spon by the submarine.
 The report of the commander or the submarine which sent the Anco- aa to the bottom of the Medlterra' hnean sea, causing the loss of nine American lives, states that the offi- refskpf the Ancona were given 40 MI6ntes to get their passengers into places of safety before the vessel was shelled and sunk. The statement from Rome that the guns of the sub- marine kept up constant fire upon the Ancona during the time when the life boats were being launched and passengers leaving the ship. has been denied by the officers and crew of the submarine.

NAVIGATOR SAYS ...
 VALDEZ |S BEST
Shading of Copper Ore Near Valdez Determined Frank Kinghorn
 to Build a Dock Here.

One of the officers of the Alameda last night, being in a reminiscent mood, recalled little of the early history of Valdez, as he had been on one of the first steamers to enter Val der bay after the stampede started. He said that in the early days 1t was the custom to land passengers in small boats. the sailors carrying the fair passengers ashore. leaving the men to get through the mud as best she, could.
 ThSsfirst settlers believed that on account, of the glacial mud that 1t would be useless to construct wharf at Valdez, believing that the glacial stream or the high tides would take tt out. This officer, who was close friend of Frank Kinghorr. talked with him regarding the establish ment of a wharf here. He says that kinghorn was undecided until he was shown a piece of rock from the La touche or Ellamar copper mines, when he immediately decided that a town which was as close to mine as Valdez was entitled to have wharf facilities and interested himself in the dock:
 The navigator, who has been on the Alaskan coast for years, believes ahat the commission made serious mistake in selecting Anchorage or Seward as the terminus of the gov- ernment trunk line from tidewater to interior Alaska. He declares that Valdez has by far the best harbor on the coast and says he has been coming here for nearly a score of years, and has never yet experienced difficulty of any sort in the harbor.
