could be done under the circumstances
Not only that, it is the only resolution
that could be passed-or at least such
is the belief generally prevalent among
the sincere prohibition leaders of both
political parties.
1t is commonly reported that those
at work on the drafting of the dry
resolution were given to understand
that any measure prohibiting personal
use would have the opposition of an
important part of the Catholic clergy
in this state, and that a realization of
the fact that this would make it GER
tain that bone dry resolution could
not prevail at the polls even in the
doubtful event of its passing both
houses of the legislature caused the
abandonment of plans for the submis-
sion of such resolution.
Confirmation of this report Is i'm
possible, The Catholic clergy are not
given to talking for the press. Arch
bishop Pitaval today declined to make
any comment on the prohibition ques-
ton further than to say that in his
pastoral letter, which will be read in
every Catholic church in New Mexico
within the next two or three weeks,
his views on the whole prohibition
subject will be made clear. The rumor
is given for what it is worth. 1t is
generally credited in Santa Fe.

Mate Is Under Arrest.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.--An attempt
was made today to scuttle the United
States torpedo boat destroyer Jacob
Jones, BY opening several of her sea
cocks at the Philadelphia navy yard,
according to unofficial but reliable re-
ports. Officials at the yard refused
either to confirm or deny the reports,
pointing out that upon instructions
from Washington strict censorship
had been placed upon all activities at
the navy yards throughout the coun-
try.
An officer of the Jacob Jones, it
was said, found that the ship was lisu-
ing heavily to port as she was being
towed from her anchorage in the Del
aware river to dock, and all persons
aboard We're detained and questioned.

More than. two feet of water was
in the hold of the Jones when it was
discovered that her sea cocks had
been opened. They were quickly
closed and two government tugs as
sisted in warping the destroyer into
her dock. The local navy yard vir-
tually was placed upon a war basis
today.
Disregarding the new sea peril an
nounced by Germany, four steamers,
enc flying the American flag, laden
with munitions and other rich car
goes destined for the war zone, sailed
from here today. They are the Brit
ish ships Mendip Range for Leith and
saxoleine for Havre; the Italian liner
Italia for Genoa and the Norwegian
ship Admiralen, for Liverpool Among
the half-dozen steamers that cleared
for foreign ports was the American
tanker Gold Shell, for Bordeaux and

Washington, Feb 3.-To insure
quick construction of naval vessels
and manufacture of ammunition and
equipment for which private plants
are under contract, Secretary Daniels
today asked congress for authority to
commander such plants if necessary
and operate them in the public service.
A draft of the proposal sent to the
house by the secretary was presented
by Chairman Padgett of the naval
committee, as an amendment to the
annual naval bill, on which debate
was just closing.
Following closely upon the presi-
dents address to congress, submission
of the amendment enlivened discus
sion of the bill, and there were many
references to impending developments
in connection with the break with
Germany.

Washington, Feb. S.-Two Wash

head of the Baltimore Sun bureau, and
w. w, Price, White House correspond
ent of the Washington Star, admitted
at the leak inquiry today that on De-
cember 20 last they supplied advance
forecasts of President Wilson's peace
note of December q, which eventual
ly found their way to the office of h.
f. Hutton & Co., New York brokers.
Essary swore that It was solely
through friendship for f. A. Connolly,
a Washington broker and partner of
r. w. Boiling, a brother-in-la of
President Wilson, and without finan"
cial gain, that he prepared the tele-
gram which Connolly previously had
testified he wrote and sent to the Hut

Essary said he gained from converse
ton with other newspaper men and
deductions he made from his knowl-
edge of the international situation. He
added that he was not one of the
group of correspondents confidentially
advised by Secretary Lansing that the
note was coming.
Not Confidential, He Thought.
Price testified he sent two messages
to Chicago brokers, Frederick A. Aid
rich and Finley, Burrell & Co, telling
them he understood Secretary Lans-
ing was about to issue a statement
touching on peace. He said he was
regularly employed to furnish such
information. Both went to the same
address as that of Clement, Curtis e.
Co, brokers, of Chicago, and less than
an hour later a message signed Glenn

guage, was received by the Hutton Of
fices in New York Price insisted his
messages were based on information
he had received from other reporters
which he did not consider confidential,
and his own Interpretation of the sit

A story Mrs. Ruth Thomason Wis.,

ing that Price was the go-between for
Secretary Tumulty and others in GER
tain Wall street deals during the leak
period, brought Price into the hearing
weeks ago. With tears in his eyes
Edwin A. Roper, telegraph operator
for Connolly, to whom Essary handed
the forecast of the note, told today
how Boiling had pleaded with him to
tell the truth and set him right before
the country. Boiling did not know the
source of the note, he said, until with

DEMANDS RELEASE OF
SIXTY AMERICANS


Washington, Feb. 3.--One of the
most serious collateral issues pending
between the United States and Ger
many when diplomatic relations were
broken involves the status of sixty
Americans, taken by the German raid
er from the British steamers Georgic,
Mount Temple and Voltaire, and held
now in German prison camps
Among the last diplomatic inter-
changes before the break was a de-
mand from the United States that the
Americans be released. 1t is assumed
that the Spanish ambassador at Ber-
lin, when he takes over American in
terests will continue the negotiations
begun by Ambassador Gerard. SO
far, Germany has shown no DISPOSE
tion to yield. Among Americans on
the Georgic was Edward Clark of Dali

expected them to follow the steps the
