COXSOLIDATIOX OP CLURS UI'

Dig Attendance Imported
Consolidation of tho fellowship
Club, tho Chambor of Commerce,
and tho Mllllcoma Club Is expected
to develop considerable discussion
nt tho Fellowship banquet this eve
ning. It will bo hold nt C p. in.,
in tho (lulld Unit of the Kplscopal
Church.
Consonsus of opinion seems to bo
for consolidation, but on an equitable
basis that would protect tho mem
bers am) stockholders of tho Mllll
coma Club and allow Its contlnu
nnco on exactly tho snmo Hues ns
at present.
For n year and moro tho Cham
ber of Commerce mombors havo felt
that It Is absolutely necessary for
tho organization to adopt n social
aide to Its activities. Efforts havo
boon in ado, but they havo - so far
proved fruitless.
Iiuslncss men who stand for con
solidation contend that tho group
ing of tho threo bodies will result
in a lessoned expense to them nnd
with tho accomplishment of moro
rcnl vnluo to tho city.
Tonight will nfford tho opportun
ity for a discussion, as tlioro will
bo mombors of all organizations
present at tho banquot.
Considerable Interest also is bolng
taken In tho topics that will como
up this evening as scheduled on tho
program. Judging from the ro-
sponso given tho ticket sollors, It Is
expected tho attendance will bo

POOR LIQUOR PLACED

So llrnud Is Xot llrokeu
KUGHNB, Oro., Dec. 7. That tho
liquor sold by bootloggors lu Ku-
gono and other "dry" cities of this
stato Is not what tho label on tho
battlos show was proved yesterday
when Shorlff Parkor wont to empty
23 pint bottles ot whiskey taken
from Sam Wlnstod, nrrestod a short
time ago for bootlogglng, and con
victed nnd soiitonccd to servo a
term lu the county Jail.
Shorlff Parker discovered In tho
bottom of each bottle a placo whore
a holo had been drilled with "
electric needlo and tho contonts
.doubtless poured out, inferior liquor
being substituted, without removing
the seal nt tho top of tho bottle. As
Wlnsted had no means of drilling
tho holo lu the bottle, It is prob
able that tho wholesalers from
whom ho bought tho liquor had mado
tho substitution,
The officers aro of tho opinion
that the great bulk ot liquor sold
In this way Is not as the labels on
the bottles show. "The man who
jnakes a business ot bootlegging,
probably gets the whlskoy at a low
figure . from the' wholesaler on ac
count of tills substitution and Is
thereby able to make a big profit."

Prosldcnt Wilson, In his annual ad
dress to congress today laid down
tho administration plans for nation
al defense and told his hearers It
wns necessary to havo a now and
broad doctrlno for Paii-Amorlna.
With sharp words ho arraigned
tho American cltlzons who by their
sympathy for foreign belligerents
endnngcred tho neutrality ot the
United States "America novor wit
nessed anything llko this before"
declared tho Prosldont with deep
fooling.
Outlines of plans for national de
fenso and need for them wore re
ceived In bIIuuco by tho senators and
representatives, but with rapt At
tention. Whon tho President urged a mer
chnut innrlno he wns loudly applaud
ed. Ho was forced to stop when he
said, "It Is high tlmo we resumed
our commercial Independence on the
high sons."
Mrs, Gidt Tlioro
Whon the galleries were filled
with usual visitors, tho official par-
ftles camo in. Mrs. Qalt nnd party
took nn nxcluslvo gallory. Other
Vosorvod places woro occupied by
'Govornmont officials and their viv
os. Tho diplomatic galleries were
unusually woll filled, tbo Latin
American members bolng largely
ropresonted. Just beforo 12:30,
tho mombors of the Bonnto wont over
to tho hoiiBo, and took tho front
sents. Committees of both houses
then escorted tho president In from
tho Speaker's room. Kvorybody in
the houso, floors and gallorles alike,
rose up nnd cheered.
Dig Croud Thero
House galleries wore packed three
hours before tho time for President
Wilson to deliver tho annual ad.
dress mid hundreds ot disappointed
ones who failed to get tickets of ad
mission lined tho corridors of thr
capltol and stood on tho plaza out
slilo to got a glimpse of tbo Presl
dont us he passed In. There were
unusual nrraiigoinents to preserve
order. Only those who had tickets
woro permitted to go to the upper
galleries, and nn elusive rumor ot
sumo sort of woman suffrage dem
onstration brought out extra guards
who were sprlnklod among the spec
tators. It was tho longest message Pres,
Wilson has Bent to Congress.
Applaud American Union
The President's declaration of a
now Pun-American doctrlno was re
ceived with the doopost lutorest. His
assertion that "Wo havo made a
common cause with all tho partisans
of liberty on this Bldo of the sea,"
was greeted with prolonged ap
plauso. Republicans clapped their
hands vigorously when he said "tnat
thu task of building up an adequate
'merchant marlno for American pri
vate capital must ultimately under
take nnd achieve, as It has under
taken und achloved every other like
task amongst us In the past with ad
mirable' enterprise, Intelligence and
vigor,"
No Danger of War
The President said thoro was rea
son to hopo thnt no question lu con
troversy between this and other gov
ernments would lead to any serious
breach of amicable relations, and
that ho was sorry to say that the
gravest throats against national
poaco and safety had been uttered
