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

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.

"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.

difficulties will soon be overcome and
that a representative of the great
American government will occupy the
place awaiting him among us. The

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."

Plan Calls for Allocation of Work
to Bring Greatest Development
to Aircraft Industry.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 16. Expendi
ture of $15,680,620 from war depart
ment surplus funds for airplanes and
motors would be authorized by a bill
Introduced In the house today by
Chairman Kahn of the military af
fairs committee. The measure is de
signed to carry out the request made
by Secretary Baker to congress at. the
special session that sufficient appro
priations be made to keep alive 'the
war-created airplane industry. '
Under plans of the war department,
work to be provided by the authorized
fund would be allocated so as to bring
about the greatest development of the
Industry. Most of the money would
be for bombing planes, the expendi
ture for these being $5,625,000.
For purchase of other planes, sums
would be provided as follows:
Observation, $815,000; two-seater
fighting planus, $2i:.500; pursuit, -,-587.000;
advance training planes, $1,
573.000. Allotment of $4,865,000 also would
be made for the purchase of motors.
To promote further the aviation in
dustry, the department has asked that
the legislation also set aside the legal
provisions requiring department pur
chases on sealed bids, thus permitting
It to allocate its purchases among
various factories.
Premier Declares He Will Not Run
for President, Regardless of
Results of Voting.
PARIS. Jan. 16. Premier Clem
enceau tonight sent a letter to Leon
Bourgeois formally withdrawing from
the contest for the presidency. 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.
Another Candidate Sought.
M. Clemenccau'a friends already
are searching for another candidate,
as President Poincare is reported to
have refused to accede to the de
mand -of a deputation of senators
and deputies that he be a candidate
for re-election. He was said to have
renewed emphatically the expression
of his determination not to be a can
didate. Never before In the history of pres
idential elections in France has a
plenary caucus been attended by such
a large number of deputies and sen
ators. SU1 out of 924 being present.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
call a caucus only of the parties of
the left, hut today M. Deschanel
stands as the chosen candidate both
of the chamber and senate all the
parties.
Premier Not at Caucus.
Neither Premier Clemenceau nor M.
Deschanel wore present at the cau
cus, but former Premier Briand,
Andre Lefevre and Edouard Herriot,
the latter the new president of the
radical party, were conspicuous in
marshaling the Deschanel forces,
while Georges Mandel, formerly Pre
mier Clemenceau's confidential sec
retary, and Edouard Ignace were can
vassing on behalf of M. 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

years. This was because he was
fighting for France. When he seeks
personal honors, however, he goes

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.
There were naturally two views ol

scarcity of materials. Our loss is your gain. Buy liberally while you can save extraordinarily.
All are high-grade corsets in fashionable front and back lace models that will correctly and
comfortably fit every figure, and every pair is sold under our personal guarantee, although you
paya bargain price. ACT AT ONCE PURCHASE TODAY and pay only $3.39 a pair for
corsets selling regularly up to nearly double this figure.
