Accept our h-arty commendation. WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. Nation wide prohibition by constitutional amendment, the dream for years for those opposed to sale of liquor, be came' effective tonight at midnight with the department of justice and the bureau of internal revenue ready to take drastic action against all vio lators. The final step In the work of enforcing; the new form of prohibition was taken tonight when Secretary Glass approved finally the regula tions to be observed by agents of tlie federal government. John F. Kramer, general prohibi tion commissioner, announced tnat lie practically completed selection ol his corps of state commissioners and local agents and had been notified by them that they were , prepared to start tomorrow on the task of en forcing the amendment as provided In the Volstead act. Little notice was taken by gov ernment officials .of the end of all licensed sales of liquor except at the treasury department, where much ac tivity was shown at the offices of of ficials connected with prohibition en forcement. Staff la Heady. Commissioner Kramer said he had a staff of nearly 1500 men ready to begin their duties at midnight. About ".00 of these will work under the di rection of the state prohibition en forcement officers while the others will serve much aa did Internal rev enue agents before war time prohibi tion went into effect. In a few states the state directors have not been named but Mr. Kramer has delegated their powers to internal revenue of ficers. Mr. Kramer's bureau has JI, 000. 000 with which to conduct its work until July 1. Treasury officials anticipated some trouble in handling the distilled liquors in bonded warehouses. It has been disclosed that In several cities large quantities of bottled goods have disappeared from bonded stor age despite the vigilance of revenue officers. To avert further theft Mr. Kramer's staff has been instructed to guard such liquors with extra care. Government Agents "Pallbearers. The regulations under which Mr. Kramer and his staff will operate comprise one of the largest as well as among one of the most important documents ever issued by the treas ury department. Its pages are re plete with definite methods for ap plication of the amendment and the Volstead enforcement act. CHICAGO. Jan. 3. The death of John Barleycorn here ended at mid night tonjght. Uncle Sam was the official undertaker and the decedent was buried deep beneath a grim tombstone inscribed "18th amend ment." Government agents acted as pallbearers and will remain to guard the cemetery. There were few mourners at the "wake." Most of the downtown hotels and cafes ig nored the event of January 16. If a person carried his own in remod eled hip pockets, he was allowed to wish John B. good-bye. but in reality there was little drinking. While churches of the city and tem perance societies were holding prayer' meetings of thanksgiving for the com ing of total prohibition, the police were attempting to find trace of six armed bandits, who held up a train crew- in the Pennsylvania railroad yards today and escaped with $100,000 worth of liquor from freight cars. Conversion Is IS'ext. The coming of prohibition had re sulted in many changes In landmarks, where In the past liquor was always fn tap. Alderman Michael Kenna, linown as "Hinkey Dink," may con vert his saloon into a confectionery store. Righelmer's will become a drug tore, while other centers ef liquid conviviality will devolve Into lunch rooms. Stillson's already Is serving coffee over the bar. NEW YORK, Jan. 16. Vw Tork City is the center of "nullification and seditious activity designed to pre vent the enforcement of the prohibi tion amendment,' according to an ad dress to th6 clergymen of the city and clergymen from all the other counties of the state, made public to night. Now Tork state is described 'as the "danger point in the whole nation," and New York City as the danger point in New York state In the "tre mendous struggle now on foot for the retention, protection and enforce ment of prohibition." 1000 I'netora Sign Address. The address bears the signature of nearly 1000 pastors. NEW- YORK. Jan. 16. The prohi bition amendment to the constitution challenges the integrity at the state. Senator Thomas of Colorado argued tonight before the New York State Bar association. It embodies, he de clared, a revolution in the constitu tional scheme of government possibly destined to prove far-reaching in its political consequences as the Civil war, which challenged the integrity of the union. "If by observing the formulas pro vided for amending the constitution, Air. l nomas saiu. tne object em braced in the 18th amendment may be permanently embodied in it, so may every other object be without regard to the original division of powers, . With this warning of what might result, the senator urged that the nation and states would be preserved each in its proper sphere, by insist' ence that all public authorities ob serve the limitations imposed by the constitution and that all citizens should be Americans first and demo rrats, republicans or independents afterward. DELAY GEUM.VN fcKADER. WANTS SEX ATE TO RATIFY' TREATY. Admirer of Wilson Wants Action on Pact Without Submitting Question at Election. (Copyright by the Kfw York 'World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, Jai- 16. .Special Cable.) "I still hope that the United States senate will give way," said Maxlmil lian Harden, one of the few Germans who still believe in President Wilson. This, on learning from The Oregonian correspondent that President Wilson had refused any compromise of Amer ica's participation in the league of na tions and wished to refer the whole subject to the American people. "It is a long way to the presidential election," Harden continued. "It is too long to wait. Europe imperative ly needs America's help. The situa tion resembles the conditions after the American civil war, only on an infinitely larger scale. The league of nations without America is unthink able. But only the league of nations can restore and maintain order in Ku rope. Therefore. I still hope that de velopments in the near future will make possible some sort of compro mise and the early ratification of the league. The world cannot wait until November." Such opposite extremes as Harden and Count Zu Reventlow agree, along with all other Germans, regardless of politics. In wanting America in the league, if there is to be any league at all. Reventlow said today: "The league of nations without America is no league. It would be a mere plunderbund, dominated by Kngland. If we must sell out to somebody, America at least will not exploit or enslave us politically.' WM FINDS GOLD MINE MRS. J. H. CAXX OF SEWARD IS OWXER OF PROPERTY. Apex Group of Claims Expected to Yield Big Returns in Xative Metal. SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. 7. (Spe cial.) It has possibly fallen to the lot of a woman to make one of the greatest gold discoveries In the his tory of Alaska mining. Mrs. J'. IL Cann, the discoverer, was fishing on Stag bay, Chicagof island, when she noticed outcroppings of native gold along the sh re line. Upon mention ing the circumstance to friends she was advised to make an examination of Lisianski inlet, three miles away on the other side of the divide, and told that if she found the lead to extend across the peninsula it would be likely that she had found a rich gold property. This was carried out by her hus band and II. R. Shepard, with the later addition of a number of friends, and the Apex claims were staked. Assays from 13 samples of ore taken at varying intervals between Lisian ski and Slag bay show values rang ing from J16 a ton to J2200 a ton, or an average from all of the sam ples of IL'W.95 a ton. The ledffe has been traced for a trifle more than three miles and the principal vein shows a width of ap proximately two feet at the points where the various samples were taken. The ore is literally filled with native gold. The ledge is cut in two by Lisianski inlet in such a way that a depth of 600 feet is exposed and J available for immediate operations.

Leon Bourgeois, French represent ative, who presided, said: "The task of presiding at this meet ing and inaugurating this great In ternational institution should have fallen to President Wilson. We respect the reasons which still delay final decision by our friends In Washing ton, but express the hope that their difficulties will soon be overcome and that a representative of the great American government will occupy the place awaiting him among us. The work of the council will then assume different character and will have that particular force which should be as sociated with our work. New World Born. "January 16, 1920. will go down in history as the date of the birth of a new world. Decisions to be reached today will- be in the name of all na tions adhering to the covenant of the league." Earl Curzon, British secretary of state for foreign affairs, and that nation's representative on the coun cil of the league, said: "On behalf of the British Empire I desire to express the loyalty of my government and the external domin ions of the British crown to the spirit underlying the covenant of the league of nations. It is our intention by every means in our power to insure its practical efficiency. It is our firm belief that through its instrumentality alone we can hope to insure that such miseries as the world has experienced during the past five years shall not be repeated, and that a new era of in ternational relationship shall dawn." All the members of the council called for by the covenant of the league, with the exception of the rep resentatives of the United States, were present when M. Bourgeois called the meeting to order.

After the delivery of the speeches, M. Bourgeois announced that the only item on the order of the day was the appointment of three members of the council to fix the boundaries In the Saar valley, together with one mem ber appointed by the French govern ment and one by Germany. The coun cil named as its members Colonel Wace, an English officer; Major Lam bert, a Belgian, and Major Kobaleh, a Japanese. After the appointment of the com missioners, M. Bourgeois proposed London as the place for the next meeting of the council and this was approved. Lord Curzon suggested leaving the date and the order of business open, to be decided by the chairman and the secretary, eince. he said, it will be necessary to consult the United States on a great many questions likely to arise.

Premier Declares He Will Not Run for President, Regardless of Results of Voting. PARIS. Jan. 16.

The letter says: "I take the liberty of Informing you that 1 withdraw from my friends au thority to offer my candidacy for the presidency of the republic and that It they disregard my withdrawal and obtain for me a majority of votes I will refuse the mandate so conferred." Clemenceau went down to defeat In the caucus today of the senate and chamber of deputies to choose a can didate for the presidency of the re public. M. Clemenceau. thereupon made the announcement of his withdrawal from the contest. In doing so, the premier asked his supporters to cast their votes for the re-election of President Poincare. Senators and deputies, after the caucus in which Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, led the premier by 19 votes, generally ex pressed the opinion that the vote means the elimination from public life of "the father of victory," Pre mier Clemenceau being neither a sen ator nor a deputy.

Clemenceau. Those presiding at the voting table were fairly swarmed by the vener able senators and young deputies anxious to cast their votes before the polling closed at 4 o'clock. Tiger's Defeat niarussed. There were naturally two views of for 1 led both houses of the parliament with an iron hand. One of the senators who is opposed to the premier re marked : "M. Clemenceau has been victorious against many attacks in the cham ber and the senate in the past two years. This was because he was fighting for France. When he seeks personal honors, however, he goes down to defeat Many of the deputies and senators who had supported the premier lin gered in the courtyard after the close of the balloting, sadly commenting upon the outcome.
