The Austrian terms were SO harsh
that Montenegro even though at the
mercy of the invaders, could not ac-

giving up of all railways and per-
sonal towns as well as complete dis
armament which was to continue af-

Rome, Jan. 20-The Austrians are
encountering serious difficulty in dis

hiding their rifles. While many sol

have refused to lay down their arms
and have fed to the mountains, de-

arm them.
Even those who have been persuad-
ed to surrender are now indignant
because the Austrians are supplying
rifles to the Albanians, who are noto-
rously hostile to the Montenegrins
The Austrians will probably send pun

RECEIVES GOLD PIN

The annual happy gathering OF eX'
Confederates with many of their
friends, took place last night IN Con-
fedcrate Veterans Hall, on Prince
street. This annual reunion and
banquet has long been one OF the
most interesting of the winter sea-
son. and the occasion last night was
one of the happiest ever given by
Alexandria's honored organization.
There was flow of soul from start
to finish--everybody was happy and
the party adjourned at a late hour
with their souls enthused by their eX-
perience.
Speeches were made by Hon. Will
liam ;. Sears, of Florida; Colonel
James Morris Morgan, of Washing
ton; Robert S. Barrett, editor OF
the Alexandria Gazette and Capt.
Marmaduke.
There were features not upon the

PREP AIRING FOR
ENFORCEMENT
Virginia Senate Gets First
Prohibition Measure
Yesterday
POWER IN GOVERNOR
Gives Him Authority to Appoint
Agents and Instruct Attorney Gene-
raj to Appear.

4
islature began yesterday the consid
Grafton of the first of series OF
measures designed to make effective
the prohibition amendment, which be-
comes effective on November /.
Senators Strobe and Addison in
troduced in the Senate bill which
covers every phase of the question
except shipment and delivery. This
will be covered in a supplementary
measure after Il decision has been
rendered on the Webb-kenyon bill,
now before the, United States Su-
preme Court.
The bill is based On West Virginia
and North Carolina laws, the pen
alty for the first ISOLATION being a
fine of $50, with discretionary Jail
sentence. On a second offense the
fine is raised to S100, with Jail
sentence of from two to six months
and the forfeiture of $500 peace
bond.
Licensed pharmacists. are permit
ted to fill prescriptions from register
ed physicians, provided the pres
cription is not for more than one-half
pint.
Clubs are forbidden from having
liquor on their premises, but an in
dividualr may have as much as two
gallons at one time, but he must not
give it away or sell it.
The Governor is given authority to
appoint officers and agents to enforce
the laws, and the bill appropriates
5000 annually to cover expenses.
Declaring for the election by the
General Assembly Of Commission
er of Moral Welfare to enforce the
prohibition statutes, the report OF
the legislative committee of the Anti
Saloon League of Virginia was sub
mitted at the opening of the fifteenth
annual convention of the league In
Broad Street Methodist Church last
night. The recommendation is in
contrast to the message of Governor
Stuart, who urged that the Chief Exc
cutive of the State be given authorl-
tv to enforce the dry laws.
The reason assigned for the eiec-
ton of the commissioner by the Cen
eral Assembly, in the report read by
Rev. James Cannon, jr., last night,
is that official should not be under
the Governor "any more than
is the Attorney General, the Com
missioner of Agriculture. the Audi
tor of Public Accounts and other Of
ficals who are charged with duties
pertaining to the entire State
The Anti-Saloon League report
agrees with the recommendations of
the Governor that suitable statutes
be enacted designed to remove from
office any official who does not obey
his oath to enforce the prohibition
laws of the State.
The report deals at some length
with the question of antlshlpment
statute. 1t recommends that, Tor
the present at least, any citizen be
allowed to import for personal use Il
reasonable amount of whiskey. The
Anti Saloon League, while favorlng
national prohibition, does not believe
the time has come entirely to prohib-
it. the personal use; of intoxlcants
by individuals, but does propose to
bar the traffic, Later legislation, 1t
is stated, may be asked after the
courts have passed on the constitu-
tionality of the antishipping laws now
before the Supreme Court of the
United States.
