HOLIDAY STRICTLY
OBSERVED IN CITY
Business Ceases Under Fuel Ad-
ministrator's Ruling
SALOONS SHUT DOWN ALSO
School Sessions Suspended Movie"
Theatres Open, But Will Be
Closed Tomorrow

The first Monday holiday made
mandatory under the provisions of
the order recently issued by Ma
tional Fuel Administrator Garfield as
means OF conserving fuel, is being
ohserEed throughout the nation to-
day and if one does not get his dates
mixed because of the holiday coming
on the heels of Sunday, it will be a
caution
Here in the city the prevailing con-
ditions are much the same as on
Sunday, as practically every line of
business is closed down with the ex-
ception of the drug stores and gro
cery stores. These were among the
few exceptions granted by the order,
and even then the drug stores did not
dispense goods other than drugs ana
medicines, while the grocery stores
only remained open until noon, and
only actual foodstgffs were supplied
to customers. Lunch rooms were
open as usual An exemption was
granted in favor of other lines Of
business, but with string tied to it.
that is, it was stipulated that depart
ment stores and other merchants
might keep their places of business
open but that a temperature not
greater than 40 degrees should be
maintained, this being allowed to pre-
vent damage to property through the
freezing of water pipes that would
result during the extreme weather.
But the proprietors of most of these
places had already arranged to OBJ
serve the holiday, and besides it
would be to the discomfort of employ
ees to remain in the stores with such
a temperature as stipulated.
Even the saloons finally decided to
close down for the entire day The
proprietors of a number Of such
places declared the intention of re-
manning open in spite of the rule as

To Hear aDrysv AND aWets.v

The Temperance Committee of the
Legislature is to hold hearing for
both vets and drys tomorrow after
noon. when some hair-pulling would
not surprise anybody. On January %
the drys have arranged for the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan to make an
address which is expected by them to
clinch the ratification of the national
amendment The prohibition lobby
attempted to railroad the ratification
through the Senate the other day un-
der suspension OF the rules. but it
seems hardly likely that the matter
can be decided within the coming week
at least. There is a good deal of quiet
talk that the national amendment
should not be ratified until the people
of the State have a chance to express
their viii on the subject either in
referendum or in the election Of the
next General Assembly, but there ap-
pears little likelihood of their being
allowed to do so. There is much
strong opposition to the proposal Of
the Anti-Saloon League to force State
prohibition by legislative act and
without allowing any referendum, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that Bal
timcre is overwhelmingly opposed to
bonedryness and other sections Of the
State have so recently given MAORI
ties against it.

spread Of German Kultur and to fight

ganization ana its stand on the liquor
question later. Mr.. Anderson read
what he said was an extract from a
speech the Kaiser made in 1908, re-
ferring to the influence of Germans in
America, praising their chief or
ganization here and comforting a
decoration on their leader as the
ruler Of the German people in the
United States.

traffic "the Kaiser's strongest ally" in
the United States, and urged it's aboli-
