Nearly Every Candidate Connected
With Liquor Traffic Defeated

Dublin, Feb. 17.-Ireland is likely to
be the first European country to adopt
prohibition, the results of the recent
municipal elections show. In Dublin
scarcely a single man connected with
the liquor trade has seat in the new
council, and similar results are re-
ported all over the country. This has
been brought about largely by the
increase in the number Of women

SENATE ACTION
HALTS SHIP SALE.
Shipping Board Requested to
Wait for Decision.
PAYNE ISSUES STATEMENT
Republican Leaders Are Opposed to
Operation of Fleet by the Govern
ment but Favor Inquiry-No
Reflection on Board.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE shipping
board was requested by the senate to
defer sale Of the former German ships
for which bids have been submitted
until some definite senate action is TAX
en- on the subject.
The senate resolution was adopted
without a record vote after more than
an hours debate. 1t was offered by
Senator Mcclellan (Dem), Tennessee,
and modified by Senator Hitchcock, the
Democratic leader to meet objections
that 1t contained a reflection on the
board.
At the outset of the debate, Chair
man Jones of the commerce committee
blocked consideration of a similar res
Olution by Senator Ashurst Dem),
Arizona, which was offered last Satur-
day, and which Senator Jones said was
a reflection on the board
Financial Phase in Mind.
Senator ,Ashurst said he had no de
sire to reflect on the board or its chair
man.

notice" he said, that it is opposed to
selling a fleet which it would take
S250,0O000O and five years to build to
the Morgan interests, the International
Mercantile Marine. for $2S,00O,OOO"
Later Senator Mcclellan got his res
Olution before the senate. He ar
gued that "out Of an abundance Of
caution" the senate should take steps
TO make certain no sale was consum-
mated in whole or In part.
I'm opposed to government opera
tion of ships" said Senator Lodge, the
Republican leader, but that question
is not involved here. We ought to
know something about the transaction.
There may be some committal the pres
ident has made abroad in reference to
them"
Senator Brandegee Rep) Of Con-
necticut said he was opposed to gov
eminent ownership ard operation Of
ships, but that congress should regis
ter its opinion as to whether this in
divIdual transaction ought to be car
ried out
Despite protests voiced in the senate
and elsewhere and court proceedings
designed to stay the action, the ship
ping board has received bids for the 80
liners.

Next to the brilliant action, which
Mr.. Farnum dominates in his always
forceful style, the keynote Of Rough
and Ready" is probably unusualness.
The film treats Of the eternal tri-
angle" in a masterful, and ususual,
way. Just where the picturegoer ex-
poets that the story will follow a
time honored course, it turns sudden
ly and goes forward in a different
manner. 1t introduces new compli-
cations and dramatic situations.
Trough and Ready" is also unus-
ual in point of the extraordinary
finished performances contributed by
every member Of the big company
appearing in the picture. No sub
ject released this year can boast OF
q higher standard OF histrionic merit
than is displayed in this film. 80
In every other essential detail, the
production is essentially unusual
in the quality Of the photography,
in the novelty Of the double and triple
exposures, in the beautiful settings
in the snow-covered mountains, in
the excellence of the direction by
Richard Stanton, and in the dramatic
value of the story.
Mr.. Farnum's work is never any
thing but unusual and in Rough

the success which has earned him the
title Of "America's most popular &C
