SEVEN KITTENS GET
JOBS IN CONGRESS

Washlngton.-A job has been
found for Congressman Austin's
secretary's cats seven kittens.
They win be welcome down on
the floor below in Representa-
tive Hulbert's office. Mice r
Overrunnlng the place. They
are MS bold as bulldogs. Frank
McEunnny, Mr.. Hulbert's secre-
tary, says they climb on the big
leather chairs and watch him
derisively as he tries to work.
The other night the mice ate up
all the free seeds that Mr.. HUI
bert had for distribution among
his constituents. That is not
much Of Il disaster, In view Of
the fact that his district in New
York is one Of the most thickly
populated In the greater city
and the people wouldn't know
what to do with the seeds If he
t. sent them on. What Is of Inn
portance, though, is that the
mice also ate up q bas-relief
model of the East river, Hell
. Gate and Wards island, being
attracted by the excellent quail
lty of glue in the papier mache.
Hell Gate is q most precious
thing in the eyes of this con
gresham.

SHIPMENTS OF
 LIQUOR TO 60
 ON THE ALASKA

The Alaska prohibition law declares that all liquor found in the territory after January 1st will be seized. This morning Agent Wayne Blue, of the Pacific Steamship company, received a cablegram from the Seattle office stating that the Evans would not be out of Alaska waters before January 1st., and no liquor shipments will be accepted for the next southbound trip as they would be seized by the government at the ports in the First division, where the Evans will be at that time.
 Many of the local liquor dealers are therefore preparing shipments for the outside to go on the Alaska. The stock in Seward is being rapidly de- pleted and it is believed that none will be left by the first of the year.

FEDERAL JUDGE
 WILL PASS ON
 IMPORTANT CASE

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec l5. -- In a written opinion filed overuling a demurrer to the indictments against Vincente Balbas, an editor, for alleged improper articles printed in the Her aldo de Las Antilles, Federal District Judge Hamilton said:
 "In this case it will be necessary to determine the extent of the freedom of the press under war legislation and the rights of a Porto Rican editor, who has declined American citizenship, when addressing Americans of Latin origin whom for years he has been influencing; whether a discussion in war time of such subjects as the pos sible independence of Porto Rico does or does not violate the espionage act, and whether the terms in which the defendant advocates this in the ar- ticles in question tend to become an illegal act"
 The trial of Balbas has been set for the latter part of this month.

WANTS GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR
 RAILWAY SYSTEMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 15. - Mortimer l.. Schifr, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, says the only logical solution to the prob lem of providing new money for rail roads is to have the United States Treasury provide funds for railroads as they are financing the Allies. Ac- Quisition by the government of rail road securities would not necessarily be step toward government con trol, but would place the nation in a position of creditor and the securities loaned upon could be sold after the war at attractive prices.
