CONGRESS DELUGED BY
PROHIBITION PETITIONS
Both Houses Getting Them From All
Sections of the Country.

Washington, Dec. 15-Legislative
measures aimed at destruction of the
liquor traffic continue to accumulate
ncongress, as both houses are de-
luged with petitions from all parts OF
the country urging adoption Of the
national prohibition constitutional
amendment and passage ofother anti
liquor measures, including the Shep-
pard bill to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the District Of
Columbia.
The house postoffice committee
opened the door to another phase OF
the problem today in reporting favor
abb; a bill by Representative RAINFALL,
of California, designed to close the
mails absolutely to advertising of any
Intoxicating liquors and to deny mail
order houses the right to go into eth
err wet or dry territory to solicit
sales through the medium of the
mails.
Now that excitement occasioned by
the unexpected action of the judiciary
committee in recommending the reso-
luton has subsidized, house members
are rejecting on the prospects for it's
passage and the consensus of opinion
seems to be that it cannot get the nee
essary two thirds majority in the six
ty-fourth congress. Even Representa-
tive Webb is not sanguine of success
now but he is confident that the
amendment will receive more votes
than it did in the last congress, when
it had thirteen votes more than a
majority. BY the time the next con-
sress has considered the issue. he
believes the victory can be won.

"Cabiria" at Orpheum.

Juneau is now having an oppor- tuuity to witness one of the real big features in moving pictures. This is "Cabiria." which opened last night at the Orpheum to advanced prices. but it was worth the price. "Cabiria' lis in twelve unusually in teresting acts. Its massiyeness, de- tailed scenic wonders, excellent photography, some of the scenes be- ing wonderful: plot unusually in- teresting, historically correct-it is a great production.
 Last night an exceptionally large audience was seated when the first reel was shown, exactly at s O. clock. The play starts right of no prologue, but the plot begins immediately to unfold and is in- tcnsely interesting to the last scene. Special music helps to enliyen the various scenes. "Cabiria' will be given tonight. at the matinee to- morrow and ending here Saturday night. From here the twelve reels go to Douglas. opening at the Doug las Orpheum Saturday matinee.

Statistics Show Short Pass Is
 Most Effective.

Statistics of last season show that among the college teams 1856 com pleted forward passes were made which either resulted in a touch- down ra run to a touchdown. The longest of these passes travelled 4S yards. There were fourteen passes of forty yards or over, ten of thirty five, twenty-three of thirty yards, ten of twenty-five yards, forty-three of twenty yards. thirty-fve of fifteen yards and twenty-one of ten yards.
 From these figures the most use- full pass would appear to be one which travels beyond the secondary defense and yet one which is short and fast enough to permit the re- celyer to get the ball quickly.

Dick Kinsella Would Not Take
 Cub Management.

Dick Kinsella, sormer scout for the Giants, Cardinals and Yankees, does not admit that he has been offered the management of the Chi cago Cubs, but he does say he would not take the job.
 Kinsella, in an interview in a Springfield newspaper, says he is done with baseball for a while at least and will devote his time to his business of manufacturing yarnish in the Illinois capital. Kinsella in his time has dug up more stars probably than any other man who ever put on gum shoes.
 Perhaps he figures it time to quit when there appears nothing left in the way of baseball talent in the minors worthy of recommendation.

Rose Stahl made the stage 7ersion of "The Chorus Lady a three-year hit. Cleo Ridgley has made the film version which is at the Dream, one to perhaps outlive the stage production. "Thc Chorus Lady" is a show what the name implies. One secures a bit of scene from behind the stage footlights, the life of those who make their living on the stage and the temptations. It is a good worthy play and will run for the remainder of the week with mat inee tomorrow.

WILSON AIDS FIGHT
FOR CHEAPER FOOD
To Continue Examination of Facts Col
lected by Departments Before
Making Recommendations.

w SHINGTON, Dee. 10. - General
approval of the investigation by the
department of justice into the increased
cost of living was given by President
Wilson at a conference with District
Attorney Anderson of Boston, in charge
of the inquiry. The President will con
tinue the examination of facts collected
by various departments before deciding
whether any remedial legislation shall
be recommended to congress.
1t was said by officials connected with
the investigation that their chief hope
for the ultimate lowering of the cost
Of living lay in simplifying the means
of transportation of foodstuffs, the
practice of economy by the public, in
crease in production by farmers, and
through other such methods, rather
than by the prosecution of lawbreal-
Crs.
The indications arc, however, that
the program for immediate action al
ready outlined will he followed with
little modification. This includes gen
cral investigation of the activities Of
alleged coal and food spectators and
a closer inquiry into the relation be.

tween the high cost of living and the
shortage of freight ears.
Federal officials declined to say
whether other grand jury investiga
tions than those already announced art
contemplated. Virtually an entire day
except for the half-houT conference al
the White House, was spent by Mr.
Anderson in digesting and co-ordinat
ing the mass of information placed al
his disposal by various governmental
agencies.
Further information relating to thu
activities of alleged coal spectators
was received by the department of jus
tice from its field force of investigators
The nature of this information was not
made public.
Department of Justice officials let il
be known that their work would b,
continued with a greater degree OF
secrecy than heretofore, and that NJ
disclosures concerning the activities OF
any group of men under surveillanc,
would be forthcoming until after sub
mission to a grand jury.
In the meantime, il was suggested
that the public could cooperate in tn,
fight to lower prices of specific food
stuffs by purchasing as little as posi-
BILE and by buying substitutes.

PROF. WETHERELL DEAD.
Was Connected with the Department of
History of Middlebury.

MIDDLEBURY, Dec. 10. = The fac
ulty and students of Middlebury col
lege were shocked when news was re-
ceived yesterday of the death of Assist
ant Professor Archibald D. Wetherell
of the department of history. Two weeks
ago he was taken to the Mary Fletcher
hospital in Burlington, suffering from
serious cold which affected the eyes
and nose. This developed into a blood
eliot at the base of the brain.
Mr.. Wetherell was born in Russell
n. Y, in 1876, son of Darius B. and Sarah
A. (Barber) Wetherell. His prepare
tory work for college was completed at
the Potsdam, n. Y, state normal school
Entering Middlebury college in 1902, he
finished his course in three years, grad.
uating with high honors in the class of
1905. In the fall of that year he be
came an instructor at Middlebury and
from 1908 until his death was at the
head of the department of history. In
1910, on leave of absence, he was a
graduate student in American history
and government at Harvard university
He received the Middlebury degree OF
A. NJ. in 1905. He was a member of the
Delta Epsilon fraternity and of the
Phi Beta Kappa society.
Prof. Wetherell was a profound stu
dent of American history and politics
and took an active and scholarly par
as writer in the recent presidential
campaign. A man of exceptionally re
firing nature, he exerted nevertheless,
an influence in the life of Middlebury
that makes his death deeply lamenteC
one. The burial will be in Russell.
