Grocery stores hare taken the place

More money is In circulation for gro

says C. C. Colt, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, Indicating that the

Three times ss many persons, or
nearly so, were arrested In December
as January, or a reduction of from 2004
to 776. The number a year ago Jan

much as last month.
But here is the big figure.
Drunkenness In January, 1916. de
creased nearly 800 per cent under De
cember. In December, 1913, there were 897
arrests for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, last month the number was
119. One-third of this latter number
were arrested January 1, the hang-over
of the celebration that marked the clos
ing of the saloons. Discounting that
number as products of last year, pro
hibition has reduced drunkenness more
than 1000 per cent in the first month.
A year ago January 87 were drunk
and arrested, or five times as many as
last month.

Sub-CoiruiUttee to Begin Its
Hearings on Thursday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. (Special.)
Louis D. Brandeis, the Boston lawyer,
nominated for the" Supreme Court by
President Wilson, could muster today
but 40 votes for his confirmation.
It requires 4 votes to confirm. Mr.
Brandefs must win from the 10 doubt
ful votes or make converts among the
46 Senators, more or less, opposed to
him.
The poll of the Senate was taken
hastily by friends of Brandeis and may
show some inaccuracies later, but it
proves tbat the confirmation Is not to
be made without a fight. '
When the Senate committee on the
Judiciary met this morning to consider
tho nomination of Mr. Brandeis, Senator
Overman, acting chairman of the com
mittee. appointed a subcommittee of
five members for the most part re
garded as friendly to Mr. Brandeis ta
study his qualifications. The subcom
mittee consists of Senators Chilton, of
West Virginia, Fletcher of Florida and
Walhh of Montana, Democrats, and
Cummins of Iowa and Clark of
Wyoming, Republicans. Mr. Clark I
supposed to be the only hostile mem
ber of the subcommittee.
The subcommittee is ready to hold
hearings and to listen to witnesses for
and against Mr. Brandeis. The subcom
mittee will bold Its first meeting
Thursday morning. Before tbat time
Individual members will have looked
into Mr. Brandeis' published remarks
and some aspects of his record.
.Representative Kent, of California,
an Independent Republican, told the
sub-committee that LJeutenant-Gov
ernor Esehelman. of California, would
give testimony favorable to Mr. Bran-
dels in connection with matters par
ticlpated in Jointly by Mr. Brandeis and
himself. In connection with some of
these matters Mr. Brandeis had been
accused of bad faith.
TESTIMONY CLAUSE FOUGHT

BAKER. Or.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
Tbat the refusal of Charles Blackweil,
now in the County Jail, to testify as
to the identity of the person selling
him liquor nine days ago will result
in the first test In this stal.t of the
constitutionality of that clause in the
prohibition law providing a jail sen
tence for the specific offense, was the
assertion made today by Frank B.
Mitchell, attorney for Blackweil. He
declared that if his client is sentenced
for refusing to be sworn, the case
immediately would be fought in the
higher courts.
The case, set for hearing today, was
deferred.
CAR FENDER SAVES WOMAN
Mrs. 1. Kverhart Is Carried 150

A fender on a Russell-Shaver street

ramento apartments. Union avenue and
Sacramento streets.
She was struck by the car. knocked
down and carried 150 fect on the fen
der, but, apparently unhurt, was able
to ariso when the car was stopped,
l'atrolman IL S. Raney helped her to
her feet and, in referring to the acci
dent, exonorated the streetcar men
from blame. She had slipped as she
was crossing the tracks in front of
her home.
BIRDS DIE BY HUNDREDS
Biologist, Students, Boy Scouts and

More urgent than ever is the need to

dying of starvation.
Through Superintendent Alderman,
of the city schools, Mr. Finley has be
gun a movement whereby schoolboys
will help in the work. The Boy Scouts
too, have been interested and will set

FLEET IS READY FOR WAR NOW
'We Mean Business,' Declares
Mr. Wilson.
WARNINGS ARE REPEATED
Great Throngs in Chicago and Mil
waukee Hear Executive, Who
Tells of America's Ideals and
Advises Hurried Defense.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. The United
States has made preparations for im
mediate war as far as the Navy is
concerned, although the present naval
force is inadequate in size. President
Wilson declared tonight in an address
before several thousand persons in the
Auditorium here.
"We mean business." he said, in
speaking for the preparedness plans of
the Administration.
"We have given to the present fleet
of the United States an organization
such as it never had before, I am told
by Admiral Fletcher," the President
said, "and we have made preparation
for immediate war, so far as the Navy
is concerned. 1 .
Army Not Big Enough for Peace.
"The Army," the President said, "as
at present constituted, is not large
enough even for the ordinary duties of
peace."
The President repeated his warnings
that no time must be lost in strength
ening the defenses of the Nation. Ho
declared the Government was doing
everything it could for preparedness.
"When I see some of my fellow citi
zens spread tinder where the sparks
are falling I wonder what their ideal
of Americanism is." the President said.
Ameiica. the President taU, had been
cruelly misjudged by the nations now
at war.
"I know that on the other side of
the water there has been a great deal
of cruel mi-sjudgment with regard to
the reasons why America has remained
neutral. Those looking at us from a
distance don t feel the strong pulses
of ideals and principles that are in us.
Ideals Pat Above Dollars.
They do not feel the conviction ot"
America that our mission is a mission
of peace, and that righteousness can
not be maintained as a standard in the
midst of arms. They don't realize that
back of all our energy we-.ie a body
of idealists much more reaay 10 w
down our lives for a thought than for
dollar.
"They suppose, some of them, that
we are noiaing 011 ucwtuau "
make money while others are aying,
the most cruel misunderstanding that
any nation nas ever naa to iace o
wrong that it seems almost useless to
try to correct it because it shows that
the very fundamentals of our life are
not comprehended or understood."
Rulers, not public opinion, brought
about the present war, Mr. Wilson de
clared. "1 thank God there is no man in the
United States who has the authority
to bring on war without the consent of
the Nation," he said.
Invasion Not Everything.
The task of tho United State.-, he
said, has been to assert the principles
of law in a world iu which the princi
ples of law have broken down.
We are not now thinking 01 invasion
of the territory of the United States."
