CARSON CITY, New, Dec. 25.- Divorce legislation, prohibition and amendments to the gambling laws arc expected to furnish much of the in terest in the coming session of the Nevada legislature which convenes here on January 10th for 60-day ses- sion. Owing to the importance of the proposed enactments on these three subjects a stormy session is looked for Added to this is the fact that the senate will be controlled by the Re publicans and the house by the Dem ocrats.
 The prohibition fight already has been launched through filing a peti- ton for an initiative act making the State "bone-dry." Under the initiat- i've law in this State the proposed statute, together with a substitute measure in case the legislature passes one, will go on the ballot together at the next general election.
 Initiative petitions on gambling and divorce, the former proposing an in itiative act absolutely prohibiting gambling in any form and the latter changing the residence clause of the divorce law from six months to one year, failed because sufficient num- Der of voters failed to sign them.
 \ change likely will be made in the existing election law. An effort will be made to restore the direct pri- mary system but the friends of the present convention system will insist on its retention with, perhaps, slight modification.
 Legislation on race track betting, which now is permitted under the pari-mutuel system. is not likely to be changed although the present law may be amended so as to place the betting machine exclusively under the control of bona fde residents.
 Good roads legislation also will be given its share of attention and an act probably passed calling for co-opera- ton with the national government of such character as to enable Nevada to take advantage of the good roads act passed by the last congress.
 The Nevada State Bar Association also will endcavor to obtain the pas sage of legislation inaugurating the short ballot system.

GABRIEL METHOD, WARS
 GREATEST BENEFACT|ON
American Surgeons Way of Treating Septic Wounds Being Adopted By
 The French Hospitals.

There arc probably l 500 wounded soldiers under the American Ambu- lance at this moment. There are 575 in the hospital at Neuilly, and thou sand more in auxiliary hospitals under our care. At Neuilly the entire hos pital force, including the orderlies and other attendants, numbers some 500 men and women. Among them we have many of birth and education serving as orderlies. An Episcopal clergyman of Philadelphia did this work all Summer and an American college professor who came in asking simply for something to do has been very valuable in taking the histories of cases.
 The spirit of the wounded them selves is seen in little incident that recently occurred at Neuilly. One little soldier who had been nicknamed by his comrades Tout Petit" had both ot hlS arms shattered. One of hiS comrades in the hospital had lost leg and two others had each a shattered arm. These four had so far recovered that they asked permission 10 dine al a little restaurant outside the hospital. They were granted this, but came back late, and the chief nurse gave them friendly-very friondly-scold- ing. The one-legged man said: You must blame me, Miss. You see l had to cut food for the other three, and "Touts Petit" didn't have any arm so I had to feed him. By that time l myself got so hungry that l ate moro than I should, and that's why we were late"

PRESCOTT PEOPLE
 VICTIMS OF ROBBERIES
(From Saturday, Daily.)

Among the many holdups and rob berries in Los Angeles of recent date, those of Mir. and Mrs. Joe A. Sincs and R. II. Twamley, of Prescott, are mentioned.
 Press reports also give accounts of both criminal transactions, and in the burglary of the Sines home the fol- lowing is given:
 MT. and Mrs. Sincs were sound asleep at their home on Arapahoe street when the burglar entered the front door with pass key, and while ransacking the bureau in the bedroom Mir. Sines was awakened. Jumping out of bed to investigate, his wife was disturbed, and realizing that something unusual was happening was about to scream, when the burglar fled. T cant tell why it was, but I had a feeling that some one was in lnC lOOll anu lildl iS hlldl dN dNtllCt me-" said Sincs The man was work ing the bureau, and when my wife rose up in bed and was about to scream, he fed The loss to the Sines in cash was given at about Sl0O.
 Mir. Twamlcy also was the victim the same night in that city of being held up on Eighteenth street by a masked highwayman, losing his gold watch and chain and all cash in his pockets, about SEQ. Twamlcy, who is now in Prescott, stated yesterday that he was accostcd without any warning at an carly hour of the evening, and before he knew what was going on was looking down the barrel of a gun which looked like the bore of Q piece of artillery. He was trimmed Of cv- crything of value on his person in a few seconds, and the holdup made his getaway in the dark.

 SUCCESS
SNOW AND WIND FAIL TO STOP CHRISTMAS SERVICE FOR POOR ON CITY PLAZA.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Mingled with the soft batter Of falling snow and the murmur of the wind through the trees. glad voices were lifted upon the air and carried straight to the hearts of the $ or 100 people who attended the exercises of the first out-of-door municipal Christmas tree ever held in the State of Arizona, which took place on the plaza Sunday evening at s o'clock Short addresses by the men who or iginated the municipal Christmas tree services and a solo by E. C. Suman comprised the services that took place on the plaza this memorable Christmas Eve.
 While this entertainment was going on, the Boy Scouts, under the direc- ton of Scoutmaster Wester, were car rying load after load and basket after basket to the home of the poor and worthy in Prescott. No one was too old or too young to be forgotten. Food, clothing and toys were distrib uted from one side of the town to the other
 It was almost midnight before the last basket left the Boy Scout head quarters. But no one was forgotten and il there Is one worthy soul in Prescott today which was not made happier for the arrival of Christmas. then he or she is hard to please.
 The municipal Christmas tree was such a success that it will probably be repeated again next year when moro time for preparation will be given. Among those who devoted most of their time and were rcspon- siblc for the success which attended the enterprise, are: Dr. II. T.

XMAS, A DAY OF REAL CHEER IN
 PRESCOTT
(From Tuesday's Gaily.)

All or Prescott observed Christmas, and in the proper spirit. Commcnc- ing Sunday evening the whole town seemed imbucd with the Yulctidc spirit, and rich and poor, high and low, men, women and children, enter cd into the spirit of the occasion with a vim which showed that the "pcacc on earth" feeling prevailed in name and in fact.
 Before the exercises in the plaza, the various churches held services at which exercises appropriate to the occasion and Christmas tree distribu- ton of gifts were the features. The music was ususuaYy fine, in fact the best that ever made mclodious such an occasion in this city.
 Christmas day proper was true to
 )rn as regards the weather. The ,,orm which began on Sunday, cx- tended all through Monday and made home seem a fine place. Few people were on the streets, but in every habi- tation in the city, there was cclcbra- ton held The needy and unfortun- ate had been generously provided for, and there were no dcsolatc hcarths.
 The Yavapai Club held its usual round of festivities. At the noon hour gifts were distributed to the employ ccS. according 10 custom, an elaborate dinner was served in the evening and d dance topped off the occasion.
 At Odd Fellows hall an enjoyable and well attended dance was given by PiCkcrills orchestra last evening.

3 MEN RESTED ON
 CHARGE OF BOOTLEGGING
(From Saturdays Dailv1

T
 Four men carrying eight suitcases looked suspicious to Under Sheriff Marks as he boarded the train at Jerome Junction yesterday afternoon and before he arrived in Prescott he had decided to investigate. When one one the men left his seat, Marks "ac- cidcntally" kicked over one of the suitcases and the familiar clink told him what he wanted to know. He placed all four men under arrest and confscatcd the suitcascs. When they reached the local depot one of the men made his escape and only the prompt action of Marks prevented the rest from following.
 At the county jail the suitcases were opened and each found to con tain 4O pint bottles of Cedar Brook whiskcy purchased at a Needles dis pcnsary.
 The three men gave their names as Charles Kinscr, Mike Flahcrty and Ncls Bendixon. They were locked up on a charge of bootlegging. This is the first arrest for bootlegging since the "bonc dry" amendment went into effect

Prohibition Is An Issue
 I71 SeUerQ1 Western States
Divorce, Gambling, Race Track Betting and Other Drastic Laws Will be Considered by Legislatures When They
 Meet Next Month in Regular Session.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Dec. 25. - \ busy session, with prohibition as the main issue, confronts the Washing ton State legislature which will con vene here on January for a 60-day meeting. In general the legislative program is both an important and a large one, there being several leading issues awaiting settlement aside from the prohibition question.
 Debate over the prohibition meas urcs probably will be heated and will center largely about various pro posals to further curtail the sale of liquors. Liquor interests already arc busily making preparations and the liquor forces are reported ready for their big drive" which they hope will make the State "bone-dry." Re currencc of the liquor fight has been one of the main issues ever since the voters approved Statewide prohibi- ton in 19l1
 Another heated and lengthy debate probably will be precipitated over the military plans of Adjutant General Thompson who IS expected to bring proposals before the legislature pro viding for compulsory military train ing in all the State High schools. He also is believed to have ready for introduction measures for an enlarged State militia to make the State organ ization more nearly conform to the requirements of the Federal govern ment
 Other important proposed lcgisla- ton has to do with the calling of a constitutional convention to remedy taxation evils. The proper distribu, ton of highway money also will be discussed A revision of the school system also is likely. the 1911 legis- lature having placed the higher cdu- cational institutions on a millage basis. It is declared that the present levy is not sufficient
 An important measure, however, likely will receive little consideration, would abolish ali the various insur- ancc companies in the State and in their stead bring into being a system of State insurance which would under take all the lines of life, fire, accident and other insurance now being car ried by insurance corporations.
 Humanitarian legislation apparent ly will receive little consideration aside from first aid for injured work ingmen.
 The legislature will be overwheln- ingly Republican in both houses. In the house there will be S Republicans and IA Democrats. The senate will have g Republicans and five Demo crats.

OLD SAYING THAT BROWN

(From Tuesdays DailY.)

Christmas this year in Prescott and the country contiguous vas appropri- ately observed by the elements, in which the refreshing snow storm of the early morning hours relieved the dull gloom of the night before and shattered old-time traditions that a brown Christmas means a green graveyard"
 Under foot, however, the day was disagrecable, but the white capped regions everywhere ushered in a ia miliar scene that was welcome. The storm was general, and its sweep left over one foot of snow at Mayer, Sen ator, Crown King and on the higher elevations. In the valley lands rains were generous and the personal dis comforts will be more than balanced by the good that will follow to all in dustries in providing an abundance of water for various pursuits. 'The country is getting dry" was familiar saying, and the many to be benefited by the big storm realize that before the crash comes fate rules supreme in its invisible power and the country again Is saved from an impending drouth. Ranchcrs, miners and range men are rejoicing over the coming at last of the beautiful"

FINDS JOB AS PREMIER NO
 S|NECURE
HEAD GREEK CABINET DISCOVERS THAT PLACE OF POWER ENTAILS VERY HARD WORK.

ATHENS, Dec. 25-Prof. Spyridon : P. Lambros, the new premier of Greece
 has had hard time of it since he be- came head of King Constantines cab
 inet. A professor of distinction, one
 of Europe's best known savants, Dr.
 LambroS has been used all his life to early hours and regular habits. Since
 he has been plunged into the political
 whirlpool of the Balkans, five nights
 week have seen him in cabinet coun-
 cils until } o'clock in the morning or
 later.
 Dr. Lambros is an Epirote, though
 he himself happened to be born in
 Corfu, in 1851. His father, however,
 was a native of Epirus-the district
 in dispute between Italy and Greece and his grandfather was hanged by
 Ali Pacha in 1891 when engaged in
 one of the many Epirotic revolts against the Turkish rule.
 Like most Greeks of the period inn mediately following the rule of King Otho, Spyridon Lambros studied in Germany. passing his doctorate at Leipzig in 1873 For several years he pursued special historical studies at Oxford, Cambridge, the British Mu- scum and the University of Paris, as well as in Italy and Germany. In 1882. on his return to Athens, he was charged by Premier Trikoupis with the reorganization of the system of primary education and was finally ap- pointed professor of history in the national university at Athens in 1887. He was never the tutor of King Con stantinc, as has been stated, and only came into contact with the present Greek sovereign in 1SS6 when the late King George made him secretary general of the Olympic games com e mittee.
 Premier Lambros' only previous political experience was in 19l2-l915. when he was sent to Italy upon special mission connected with the Italian claims to North Epirus. He llso followed the work of the inter national committee for the delimita- ion of the boundaries of North cpirus.
 Dr. Lambros looks the typical stu lent, kindly, absent-minded. elderly nan with thick spcctacles and a cigar tic constantly in his mouth. He re- .civcd the Grand Gordon of the Or Ter of the Rcdecmer of Greece for lis distinguished services as a savant- Ic is likewise commander of the Lc- ion of Honor of France. Dr. Lam- ,ros iS generally one of Grecce's rep cscntativcS at international learned IT scicntigc congresses. over several of which Inc has presided. He is the au- hor of numerous historical works and he translator of many such works lto modern Creek He speaks En- fish. French, German and Italian.
 The prcmicr's family lives very uietly in d modest house in the of the University of linens; their means arc those of the vcrage university professors family nywhcrc and the pay of a premier in Ireccc iS not enough to conducc to reat luxury.
