LAWSON S BOMBASTS
WASHINGTON. P. Jail. 10.—
Official information was received
here today that the Entente Reply
io the Wilson note is now in the
hands of the United States Ambassa
dor at Paris, having been presented
to him this afternoon.
LONDON, Jan. 10.—The Mail says
that the Entente reply to Wilson is
quite favorable although guarded
and to a certain extent indefinite.
The reply says that the Allies favor
honorable peace, but have to await
more specific terms than those em
bodied in the German proposals
The reply is replete with flowery tri
butes to Wilson’s pacific attttudi
which reads as if written in gentli
satire. The reply does not admit o
no hope, but it certainly leaves thi
door open for further negotiations
BERLIN, Jan. 10.—It is astonish
ing the interest that is manifestet
here in the Entente reply to th<
German note. Such details have ar
rived from Savville transmitting thi
• London reports indicate that there is
, some reason to hope that the belli
gerents may yet meet upon a com
mon ground for peace discussions in
a neutral territory. The declara
tion that the Entente awaits more
specific replies shows that it is not
, impossible such may be expected in
that quarter. It is believed that
Germany will mention terms of
, peace or such as would afford a
peace conference some basis for
i opening negotiations.
BERLIN REPORTS SOCIALISTS
ARE AGAINST SUBMARINING
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.—A dis
patch from Berlin says that tl;c So
cialist conference in (hat city passed
resolutions completely opposing t'ie
policy of submarining and de
manded full support for th; efforts
of Wilson to secure and maintain
peace. That this news comes from
the German capital uncensored is
sufficient to show that it ha, official
approval.
THE HAGUE, Jan. 10.—The. con
templated holding of a socialist con
ference of neutrals to further peace
plans has been again postponed
pending the holding by the Entente
socialists of their long projected
meeting. Advices from Germany
show that the situation as regards
annexation is now completely re
versed. Whereas a year ago the an
nexationists were strong and loudly
spoken because in a vast majority,
now they are few and far between
and mostly confined to the most ag
gressive of the war party men. An
astonishing report is coming out
from Hamburg to the effect that
Herr Ballin, the shipping genius of
Germany, has expressed himself as
wholeheartedly in favor of peace
and opposed to any annexationist
policy or a revival of the submarin
ing policy. It wTas denying that he
supported the latter policy that
Ballin took occasion to state his
views upon the peace situation. He
warned Germans however to be pre
pared to continue the war for some
time yet, but he believed that peace
would come sooner than most did
expect.

secution of - the war. The British

subscription the government plans
are to conscript financial per cent
ages from working financial indus
trial and commercial firms to swell
the total to an enormous aggre
gate.
This is part of the new Lloyd
George policy and is to be on a scale
hitherto never attempted. The loan
is to be part of the standing govern
ments funds and is to be a security
against all events in the world of
finance. It is admitted to be the
next step to financial conscription.
An idea of the tremendous scope'
of this loan is seen in the fact that
seventeen thousand financial, indus
trial, social, and political associa
tions representing an enormous per
capita as well as an immense person
el is co-operating with the new
George plan.
George in outlining this plan
said first they will secure a victory
fund and the rest is easy. He says
that he has no doubt of the final
outcome of his campaign. He is
getting immense support even from
financial circles.
WANT TO ADVERTISE
ALASKA PATRIOTIC WAY
SEATTLE, Jan. 10.—The Alaska
Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce has devised a new idea.
They are now petitioning the govern
ment to have a battleship named
after Alaska.
The Bureaucrats claim that in this
way they will unite patriotism with
legitimate advertising, and the mere
fact that there is a worship called
Alaska will occasion a whole lot of
inquiry relative to the territory.
Formal arangements to have this
brought before Secretary Daniels
are now being made by the Bureau
and it is believed that it will be suc
cessful.
Safety first. You miners coming
in from the creeks look up the ad
vertisers in your paper before dis
posing of your patronage.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 10.—
The Committee on Territories is
now considering the prohibition vote
of the Territory of Alaska and the
hearings are being opened with a
view of obtaining data upon a suit
able measure.
It was shown today Chat there are
six breweries and three hundred and
twenty-five saloons in Alaska. An
effort is being made by the liquor
men to have action postponed. Chair
man Houston of the House Com
mittee on Territories today stated
that he favored the immediate intro
duction of a drastic prohibition law
in Alaska which would absolutely
prevent the importation, manufac
ture or sale of any intoxicating li
quor of any kind in the territory to
be enforced at once.
Houston is quoted as indicating
that the vote just given in favor of
a dry territory is so overwhelmingly
one sided that the committee has no
choice but to regard it as mandatory
Prohibition has therefore to be in
troduced and the sooner the better.
This attitude is repugnant to gr.at
liquor interests and wholesalers are
preparing to delay the introduction
of a bill making Alaska Dry.
Testimony showing the property
: invested in Alaska was then given
as above. When shown to the Com
mittee one of the members admitted
that he was surprised that saloons
and liquor dealers were so few. Ho
had been led to believe that every
business house was a saloon, ha
said.
NO JURY YET IN
MOONEY BO
TRIAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.—No
jury has been so far obtained in the
Mooney trial here and Attorney
Cochran for the defense is literally
exasperating the prosecution by the
searching examination to which he
is subjecting the various talesmen.
The success of the attorney for the
defense in revealing prejudice on the
part of several who sought to quali
fy occasioned considerable impati
ence from District Attorney Fickert.
Many of these talesmen have been
excused.
Today the court was thrown into
an uproar of excitement when a
talesman produced a pamphlet
which he received through the mails
favoring the defense. The man pro
duced it with evident satisfaction
and the District Attorney intimated
that these were being circulated by
the defense. This brought forth an
very indignant -and heated rejoinder
from Cochran who denied with con
siderable emphasis that he had any
thing to do with it but he would not
put it above the methods of some of
helpers of the prosecution in order
to make it appear that the defense
had to resort to dubious methods.
The court restored order after a
time and Cochran was assured that
there was no necessity to repudiate
any implication involving him. Coch
ran thanked the judge and the scene
ended while the examination of
talesmen was continued.
It is hoped to get a jury today or
morrow at the latest.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10.—
The Suffragettes made their first
hostile demonstration against Pre
sident Wilson today. They indulged
in silent picketting of the White
House and hung out huge banners
for the cause because Wilson re
fuses to support the Susan 3. An
thony suffrage amendment to the
constitution.
Wilson returning from the golf
links seemed a bit surprised at first
then smiled and made some jocular
remarks to his aide as he hurriedly
entered the confines of -i1- quarters.

It is astonishing the number of |
laborites who are now here from

Some ardent supporters of the law
declare that the laborites are going
to impede the committee work by

BUFFALO BILL GOES TO
HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS
DENVER, Jajft. 10.—William
Frederick Cody, better known by his
name of Buffalo Bill lost a valiant
fight here today when he expired at
noon of heart and bronchial affec
tions.
Cody whose father was killed in
the "border war” in Kansas was
born In Iowa in 1846. He was gov
ernment scout and guide and mem
ber of the 7th Kansas Cavalry. He
contracted to furnish meat for the
laborers engaged in the construction
of the Union Pacific Railway and in
eighteen months killed 4,600 buffa
loes from which achievement he
earned the soubriquet of Buffalo
Bill which stayed with him ever
since. Cody fought in more Indian
wars than any other man and was
a most gifted scout. His connection
with the Wild West Show is familiar
to everyone and he has also been
intimately associated in irrigation
enterprises with many prominent
men of Wyoming.
