Prohibition furnished the vehicle today for the first extended debate In the senate at this session. or more thn three hours the Volstead act was assailed and de fended with a number of senators Joining in the running fire of dis cussion. ! JA rather large number of sena tors and half filled galleries fol lowed the debate, precipitated by Senator Edge, . republican, , New Jersey, who delivered a prepared address, urging his bills to legal ize 2.75 per cent beer and revise the. .restriction on prescription whiskey. Before the senate turned to other" subjects. Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland, had joined forces t With the New Jersey sena tor!' and Senators, Willis, republi can, Ohio, . and Sheppard, democrat,- Texas", - had vigorously at tacked forces which they contend ed i were : trying to break down constitutional law in this country. Both Senators Edge and Bruce declared t he Volstead act was a. failure and that Its operation had been attended by general disre spect for,' law. At one point the Maryland penator asserted "pro hibition is an insane experiment. Senators Willis and Slieppard disputed these contentions, the former contending that, Senator Edge's speech was only a group of views of those opposing the prohibition act. The Texas sena tor resved notice that the pro hibitionists of the country will not permit any modification of the 'Volstead act, but would demand that it be strengthened. , The Ohio senator, wno was first to' reply to senator .Edge. deaied thtt there was a l"-indT0 on New Veif,s ior mouuicauun ui me vuisieau acts He declared that the plain fact waW that "the underworld is ( I boldly challenging the forces of f -law: end order in this cbantry."

Jlmmle's mother was not very strong and she was not able to go out to work very often and the few dollars she could earn were not enough for the necessities of life. So the family was very poor.

The crew- of 10 men was rescued, ' year his home was poorer than :tntnK or it. so wnen ne wem up to his bed in the little room at the head of the stairs he took his stocking and fastened it to the wall next his bed with a ticket on it addressed to Santa Claus. The next morning Jimmie awoke with a start. He had not intended to sleep so late. He jumped out of bed and ran to his stocking and it-was empty. He coull hardly believe that Santa had, not come. He did want a few things, not much; but something as a giftfor his Christmas. He wanted a mouth organ, and jack knife and some ren! store candy. And there wan nothing in his stocking. , He went back to his bed and put his face in the bed clothes and tried as if his heart would break. Just then he heard a step on the front porch. He . listened. Could it be that Santa had come at last? He heard his mother go to the door. When she opened the door there was a man down the street a little ways who turn ed and looked hack as the door opened. And there before the door was a basket. Jimmie's motner called to him: "Jimmie! Jimmie! are you awake! Come here, quick." ' Jimmie ran down the stairs as fast as he could and tlfere was the big basket, his mother was bring ing into the room.' What a sur prise it was! "In the basket there was a nice dressed chicken, some cranber ries, sweet potatoes, sugar, but ter, eggs, bread raisins, apples, and some great big yellow orang es. : And that was not all, for down in one corner there was a little package aldressed to Jim mie. When he opened it there was a jack knife, a mouth organ and some real stow candy. How Jimmie's eyes dancM; and his feet danced, too. --'-?

Under Mandate of United Kingdom ENGLAND ACCEPTS OFFER (Jrrat Britain Said to Have As sured Council That She Will Accept Prolonga tion of Mandate GENEVA, Dee. 15 (By Asso ciated Press.) Mysterious Mosul where the league of nations re cently, saw oil spouting from na tural wells and native Arabs hast ily filling buckets to sell it to owners of American made auto mobiles, will go to Irak, which means' to Great 'Britain, 'for Great Britain has the mandate over Irak.. Such is the decision reached by the council of the "league, league officials declared tonight, and they added that everything would be made public tomorrow. The council held a secret ses sion this evening and regretfully noted the failure of its attempts at mediation. It Is reported that the British cabinet has sent assurances to the council that it will accept prolon gation of the British mandate over Irak. Turkey, it is said, will get a narrow strip to the north. In other worda. the provisional fron tier between Turkey and Irak laid down at Brussels, will become permanent, with slight modifica tions. Irak, under British influ ence, is expected to grant favor able economic arrangements to Turkey, whereby no customs bar rier will exist between Turkey and Irak, and Great Britain must for mally accept the mandate for 25 years. Pending this the council's decision is provisional. While the officials were mak ing this announcement, the Turk ish delegates show a new bolt. Tewfik Rushdi Bey, the Turkish foreign minister, sent an official protest to the council accusing Great Britain of Influencing the council by circulating false charg es that the Turks had atrociously treated Christians. He f was re plying to a document Published tonight from a Chaldean Catholic priest, which, like the report re cently issued by General Laidoner, special league commissioner, ac cused the Turkish soldiers of mas sacres.

(By Associated Press.) The Theoso- phical order of the Star of the East, organized 14 years ago to prepare for the second visitation of Christ to earth, is making ready to greet the Savior in-the body of, Krishnamurti. a vounc Hindu, at Adyar, province of Madras, India, and at Ommen, Holland. This announcement was made here today by Dr. Ernest Stone, International secretary-treasurer of the order. The manifestations are looked for during the coming Christmas season when Krishnamurti, who is ftow in India is to be hailed as the human vehicle carrying the man ifestation of Chrifit, witbr a mis sion on earth a.s a world teacher. I "A sixth-root" race, the Theoso- hists said is making its appear ance on the western slopes of this hemisphere, and also in Australia. Dr. Stone cited statistics given out by the government ethnologi cal department that new physical characteristics have been perceiv ed in children of the last gener ations in support of his conten tion. That a "new root" people are about to take their place on ea rth. The "new Christ" he said would appear as a teacher for this new race. A new continent will rise from the Pacific ocean, he con tinued, on which the new "root race" will establisbthemselves. Fritz Kuntz, general represen tative Dr. Stone said, will leave Los Angeles June 1 for a four months tour of the United States in which he will lecture on the re turn of Christ through the ve hicle of Krishnamurti, as announc ed by Dr. Annie Besant, president of the International Theosophical Society, at an international "star" conference at Ommen, Holland, last September. A conference of Theosophists will "be presented "and he believes that the new world teacher will manifest himself to this assembl age.

Amendments to Revenue Re-1 ducing Measure Ground Underfoot in House , PUBLICATION ACT LOSES Proposals to Continue Printing Income Tax Returns Swept Aside; Exemptions Are Increased WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. (By Associated Press). The tax re duction bill held straight to Its course in the house again today, as proponents , trampled amend ments to important provisions. Without even a record vote, the house swept aside an amendment proposing to continue the publi cation of income tax returns. Stubborn fights were made on the provisions for increasing per sonal exemptions, but terms of tho bill, as. framed by the ways and means "committee to relieve 2,500,000 income tax payers from federal taxation next year, were accepted. . The bill increases the exemption from $1,000 to $1,500 for single persons and from $2,500 to $3,500 for married persons. An amendr ment by Representative Mary T. Norton, democrat, New Jersey, to boost the exemptions to $2,500 for single persons and to $5,000 for married persons was defeated 207 to 64. Representative Rainey of Illi nois, a democratic member of the ways and means committee, con ducted a fight against any increase in the exemptions for married persons. This was lost without a record vote. Later when another of his amendments to prevent tax payers with incomes over $20,000 from taking advantage of the exemptions was mowed down by a vote of 103 to 30, Mr. Rainey said he had desired to show whe ther "the Mellon machine, was so well oiled as to prevent amend ment of the bill." Not an amendment, except sev eral advanced by committee mem bers to clarify sections of the ad- niinistratiye ,jirovtsions,lias '.been. accepted during the two days of reading of the non partisan meas ure. Six hours of reading today brought the house half way through the bill to a point where tomorrow it will take up the con- troversal inheritance tax ques tion. There was little debate to day and what there was centered on the personal exemption and publicity provisions. OLD PRINCIPALS UPHELD YOCXG LA FOLLETTE WILL FOLLOW DAD'S WORDS WASHINGTON. Dec. 15. (By Associated Press.) Both before and after the republican senate committee today had accepted him into the party fold. Senator La Fbllette of Wisconsin gave pub lic notice that he would adhere to the "progressive principles'' of his father, who was read out of the party a year agfo by the sen ate old guard. His first notice was sent di rectly to the party leaders in the form of a letter to the committee on committees which voted yester day to recognize him as a repub lican In making committee assign ments. His second took the form of an address at a banquet given in his honor tonight by the offi cers of Labor, a newspaper pub lished by railroad workers. Immediately upon receipt ofthe young senator's letter, Chairman Watson called a hasty meeting of the commit te on committees. Af ter hearing the letter, the mem bers held that it was not to be construed as changing Mr. La Fol lette's party status, and within an hour the senate approved with out debate or a record vote his assignment to committees as a re publican. In his address tonight Senator La Follette spoke largely of his father, declaring it was fitting that he should do so.

M.

Paul Doumergne. radical socialist and former finance minister, . will probably take" his place. Premier Briand held a long talk with Senator Doumer this evening and is inclined to ask him to take the portfolio. Noth ing, however, will be' decided un til after the cabinet meeting, which M. Briand has summoned for tomorrow morning. Should the cabinet approve the cnolce or M. Doumer he may formally be appointed at noon to take over the ministry at once. M. Loucheur failed, as did Call laux, to propose solutions that the principal elements of the govern ment majority in the chamber of deputies would accept and was obliged to resign, after receiving from the finance committee of the chamber the second rebuff in two days. The opposition to M. Loucheur came from the- same groups that obliged- M. Caillaux to retire, namely, the socialists and extreme radicals while Painleve suc cumbed to the moderate conserv ative groups with a few dissent ing radicals. The socialists were the most uncompromising adversaries of the minister leading the fight against any consideration of the measures he proposed. In a letter to" M. Briand the finance minister, confirming his resignation admits that his meas ures, twice rejected by the finance committee, "involved heavy sac rifices," but affirms that "they were ia our opinion necessary."

(By Associated Press.) -Briefs for and against the application of the Ore gon Trunk for permission to ex tend its Central Oregon railway from Bend to Klamath Falls were filed today with the interstate commerce commission. Oral argu ments to be heard soon by the commission ,will be the next step in the controversy in which the Southern Pacific has been trying to prevent the entry of the north ern lines into the -Klamath Falls country. The Oregon Trunk brief stress es the point that the Southern Pa cific seeks to have a monopoly of the traffic of the Klamath basin, while the Southern Pacific con tends that if the Northern iine is permitted to enter the region it will "peril and ruin" the Southern Pacific's proposed connections in the region. The Southern Pacif ic declared it would give adequate service to all the Oregon territory and would provide a line between Klamath Falls and Chicago, 200 mile's shorter than the proposed northern route. The Northern line's brief declar es that its proposal will brlng. de velopment and encourage lumber manufacturing and that the South ern Pacific, wilt benefit as well as the northern . lines., I.t expressed willingness to enter into any joint use of agreement as to the pew line, and it does not oppose the Southern Pacific building' plan.
