MANY MILLIONS IN

When Dry Lid Clamps Down
Forever On u. S. Tonight
Owners Seek Redress
CBy Associated Pressj

Louisville, Ky. Jan. 16. kentucky
distillers still held several million gal
Ions of liquor today; the last day be-
fore constitutional prohibition was
initiated, notwithstanding attempts
to export it. Last unofficial figure
were that 35,OOO,0O0 gallons valued
at approximately S40O,OOO,OOO, re-
mainds in bonded warehouses. It's
fate was in some doubt Unless con-
fcated by the government it was
said, much of it probably will be
sold for medicinal purposes.
it probably will be sold for medicin-
al purposes.
Whiskey interests of this state
waited until early December in the
belief that the President, the
Supreme Court or Congress would
lift the wartime prohibition ban.
When the Supreme Court held the
law constitutional and neither the
President or Congress raised the ban,
they prepared for shipment of their
stocks to foreign countries, but were
said to have been only nominally
successful.
About that time some Kentucky
interests announced, following a SINH
lar announcement in Chicago, that
they would institute suit in the
court of claims, Washington, late
this month or early February in an
effort to secure imbursecent from
the government the whiskey that re-
mained in the country after today.
One almost immediate result of
the permanent ban ciamped down to-
day may be the closing for good of
the 80 Louisville saloons that surviv-
ed the wartime law by conversion in
to soft-drink dispensories. A number
Of the proprietors declared today that
they cannot operate under present
profit and therefore expect to begin
new businesses.
Meantime, the real work of pro-
hibition enforcement officers began
today. They were said to be ready
to suppress all violations Of the law
in this state.

Admiral Sims Defends
His Criticism of Awards
ORy Associated Pressl

Washington, Jan. 16-Rear Ad-
miral Sims today told the Senate
committee Investigating naval
decorations IT, at his criticism of
the circumstance of some of the
awards was his plain duty and did
not involve insubordination, as
some newspapers assumed.
"My sole and chief contention
is that the action of the Secretary
and board in cha lng recon-
mendations made @by the COM
manding officers was absolutely
with Justification" he said. He
asserted failure to recognize this
would have been extremely de-
structive to the ,1avy's morale.

DR.. MORRISON SOUNDS
KEYNOTE OF REVIVAL
Tells Big Congregation To Get
Into Harmony With God In
Methodist Meeting

The key note of the rivival at
at the Methodist church was
sounded last night. 1t was this
."Get into harmony with God"
DIR. Morrison said the mission of
Christ was to restore men to har-
mony and fellowship with God.
In order to do this he must separ-
ate from men that which separat-
ed them from God; that is sin.
Sin brought the expulsion from
the Garden of Eden and Christ
came to expurgate sin, to de-
throne and cast it out of men.
Heaven is an impossibility to
any intelligent being out of ha1
mony with God. Christ came to
possibility with any being in har-
mony with God. Christ came to
save us from sin and the love OF
sin.
To be in harmony with God,
one must love what God loves and
hate what God hates. We all
know that in the nature of things
God loves purity and hates defile-
ment. He hates sin and loves
holiness.
The afternoon audience was
one of the largest during the
meeting. The evangelist preach
ed on how to bring a sinner to
Christ.
Lovc for the sinners, faith iii
in Christ, combination of effort
and untiring zeal. H., had for
his Bible lesson the healing of the
paralytic let down through the
roof and showed how helpless the
paralytic was and how dependent
he was upon some one who was
interested in him and who knew
the Christ to bring his great need
in touch with Christ's ample suffi-
cheney.
The evening audience packed
the church to its capacity. In the
rear of the church and the aisles
many chairs were used. The
choir did excellent work and Mr..
Bierer sang beautiful solo. He
has an unusually sweet and mel
low voice.
The evangelistgt took for his sub
ject the rich young mn and show
ed how that while he desired eter-
nal life he was not willing to
make the conservation and SUR
render necessary to secure it.
With vivid illustrations the
preacher pressed home the
thought that there is no cheap
salvation; that in order to be
saved men must not only surren-
der to Jesus but they must crown
Him lord and master.
At the close of the service sew
eral persons asked for prayer.
DIR. Chandler is quite encour-
aged with the prospects for a
good revival, the deep interest
the people are taking in the
meeting.
The pastors of the different
churches were present partici-
pating and manifesting a beauti-
full spirit of Christian fellowship.
Services will be held at the reg
ular hours today, afternoon and
evening. Saturday will be field
day. There will be no services
at the church but christian work
ers are expected to speak to their
friends on the streets, in the
Estores and shops and to have
prayer groups wherever conven-
lent.
| Arrangements are being made
| for a great mass meeting for mer
only in the Methodist church
Sabbath afternoon at 3 o'clock.
i DIR. Morrison will speak to the

and the Lean She Wolf" of Dan

WHlTEHORSE CELEBRATION
LATE IN JUNE THIS YEAR
SAYS SKAGWAYAN

News received here by Glen C.
Bartlett in regards to the Kings
Birthday celebration this year at
Whitehorse, from w. c. Blanchard
of Skagway, is to the effect that it
is probable that the White Pass Club
of Skagway would perhaps have
their excursion late this, year, prob.
ably on June 81.
With the exception of last year,
when the excursion was held late
on account of the influenza epidemic
in Southeastern Alaska, the White
horse celebration has always been
teld early in June or late in May.
