DAB LIQUOR FROM

QYAL PALACES ureat Britain's Ruler Writes to Chancellor David LloydGeorge Endorsing Proposed Abolishment of Drink. QUESTION OF REVENUE CAUSES NO HESITATION Loss of $200,000,000 a Year Not Allowed to Stand in Way of Supposed Solution of Labor Problems. RFLLETIX. LONDON' April 1. Karl Kitchener, secretary of .state for war and Just now the foremost figure in Great Britain, is the lirt to follow tho example proposed by King- George and brunch all alcoholic bovcraRcs from his household. Tho "war secretary today gave Instructions that no intoxicaiinp drink of any kind should Vo uaed in his household during the remainder of the war. LONDON, April 1. Agitation fr national prohibition In the United Kingdom during the course of the war received strong Impetus today from the letter of King George to L'avid Jaoyel-George, chancellor of the exchequer, indorsing the abolishment of drink and announcing his willingness to bar alcoholic beverages from the royal palaces. Many men high in public life, ineluding members of the government, wcr quick to follow the example set by tho king and have announced their lesiro to help the nation by becoming total abstainers. If this social revolution comes about, and all the indications point to the fact that it is at hand, it will put nearly 4.",1)o,iju0 person upon the "water wagon." The drink and the labor problem have become so closoie related since :he war began that both are now com. sidcred an one. According to statistics mp'led for the cabinet Workmen lost on a average of three days a. week through drunkenness. This slate or affairs now usually cripples Industries, especially those that are. turning out arms, ammunition and other supplies vitally needed by the army. It has also handicapped work in tiio ship yards and on the docks. w:cre there is now a tremendous demand for reliable labor to load and unload merchant ships arid transports. en spa iter .Join Mt Newspapers today devoted almost as much space to the prohibition question as they did to operations in the war zone. Most of them are in sympathy with the movement because of the necessity for it. hut there are others which, ask tor modified prohibition so that the public housekeepers will not lose entirely their sole means of livelihood. The government revenue from drink Is about J200.OOO.0OO a year, whereas the war is costing ?:00,000,000 si month. Thus the loss of J20O.OO0.000 against J300.0u0.000 is comparatively small, the prohibitionists arue, es pecially when one considers the added efiicieney of the workmen In tho arsenals and other war supply factories. "War See'y Kitchener declares that the mote guns and ammunition the llrit)sh and French armies get during the i.ext stage of the war the. quicker the hostilities will come to an end. A new complication arose today when the allied engineer trades comprising r.o.ooo men, demanded a wage increase of J1.T.0 a week. The arsenals at Woolwich and Knth are effected by this demand. Spirits Are I'ooiuetl. Whiskey, brandy, sin. liquors, in fact spirits of all kind', are doomed. n this point J understand the cabinet is agreud. tho only matter remaining for discussion and settlement is the question of compensation to be paid retailers and makers-. The solution of this will not take long, if indeed it is not already settled. It N known that Chancellor of tho "Exchequer Ll d-drorge. who is the prime mover In this latest and most sensational step, has the situation well in hand and it is probable some off cial announcement concerning it will bo made tomororw. The question of revenue derived by the government from the sale of strong drink and which will be practically wiped out in the event of total prohibition has not Vothercd the cabmet one ioia. i no go eminent is quite prepared and even anxious to wipe it out with one stroke of the pen. This revenue amounts rightly to about 4 0 million pounds annually. but against this is the fact that the war is costing- Ire it Rrttain at present to million pounds monthly. Would Shorten War. The argument is, if by putting total prohibition Into force the war will be shortened and it is confidently believed prohibition will shorten the war by lit bast three months by reason of the Immenw increase in the output "f munitions of war the experiment is. wdl worth while making; even from a business point of Iew. Total prohibition would at first Inflict much temporary hardship to thousands who are employed In its tratl'c. from making to selling;, but it Is believed those concerned would j-ooji adapt theni!-'' Ives to the altered clrtnmstar.es and rind new employment, although the average RHtishcr is much sl ovcr in this regard than t.h Aiiu rit an. Total prohibition would be for the duration of the war only, although it In certain old conditions existing before the war neer would be fully ro-

WILSON SEEKS AID OF ITALY IN PEACE PLAN Rumors Say Ambassador Page Has Sought Italian Government's Support. KOMI:, April 1. Pros't Wilson is continuing his efforts to bring about peace in Kuropo through mediation. It was learned from a reliable source today that for a long" time the American ambassador, Thomas Nelson Tage, had been working; hard to secure the Italian government's support for Pres't Wilson's plans. The ambassador, when interviewed today, declined to make any prediction as to the probable success of the president's efforts, but the following statement by him was taken as continuation of the reports in general circulation in olllcial circles: "I would esteem it one of the greatest accomplishments in the life of the American government if it could say or do anything to help bring peace out of the present conditions in Kurope. which have not been paralleled, since the dawn of history." The Italian foreign oltico refused to deny or confirm toe reports as to suggestions, from the American government. Ambassador Page confirmed reports that ho had been approached by prominent Italians, who urged that tho United States should Intervene for peace. Among these, he said, was exPremier Luzzatti. Signer Luzzatti stated today that ho had suggested to Ambassador Page the advisability of American intervention, but added that this suggestion was merely "academic. Asked whether he considers peace possible, tho ex-premier said: "Peace now would prove most disastrous lor Italy." FEWER MEN APPLY FOR JOBS IN MARCH Figures from IYiv 1 .inplovmoiit Pureau Show Hotter Conditions hi Labor Situation. The number of men who applied to the state free employment oltico during March for jobs was considerably less than the number who applied during the previous month. All skill ed workmen, particularly maeninists, who applied for work and proved that they were steady workmen, were given positions and there were still vacancies left for such men. The demand for good house maids is also considerably greater than the fcupply. A large per cent of the women who seek jobs are women who want day work such as family washing or oflice cleaning. There is little trouble in placing couples who can handle farm work. During the month there were 4 4t men who applied for jobs and of this number there were t'j placed. There were 101 women who applied for ivrl; :in.1 there WCTC 47 WllO WCl'C placed. There were 107 persons who appealed to the employment oltico for men and 65 who wanted women.

Part of Mr. Harris talk was accompanied by Mereopticon slides showing conditions in Chicago before and after remedies had been applied. According to Iicurcs given by Harris tho city of Chicago has since 1910 reduced her smoke nuisance from 2 2 per cent to six per cent. A striking picture was shown of the heart of Chicago. In this one vicinity Mr. Harris s-aid H.OO.OoO tons of coal arc consumed in a year and yet the picture of the sky line was as free of smoke as could bo desired. Mr. Harris said all Chicago factories have complied willingly with requests of the .smoke inspection department. There are numerous ways of lighting smoke, he said. Special boilers ami consumers are most often used, while in many instances mere instructions to the fireman will help.

I CALL FEW WITNESSES IN ROBERTS' DEFENSE Failure of Accused Mayor to Take Stand Causes Disappointment $6,000 Slush Fund Denied in Assertion. INDIANAPOLIS, April 1. That Mayor Donn M. Huberts and his 21 codefendants in the Terre Haute election conspiracy trial will soon know their fate became evident today. The government examined witnesses in rebuttal this forenoon, the most important being handwriting experts. The names of "Mayor Huberts and several of the other defendants again ligured in the trial. Dist. Atty. Dailey probably wilt begin his argument for the government late today and it is expected the case will go to the jury Saturday. William H. Kyser, auditor at Doming hotel, Terre Haute, was lirst rebuttal witness sprung by i'(urninpnt tod:iv. Ho denied the the the the statementof William Crockett, super intendent of the crematory ami mo defendant, that he instructed Crockett to operate the lever on election day.

Alonzo llelmick testilicd that Crockett told him he would pay him a double amount of "his expense money election day. Dee Allen, the next witness, slid that Mavor Roberts told him that Crockett would handle the money in his precinct and that Crockett acknowledged he had money to use there John Paulis testified that Crockett took his place at the voting machine lever and operated it regardless of Heady Tor Kobuttal Witnesses.. ! r.n,u-in.r the .-ibrtint resting of the; defense in the trial of the US lerre Haute politicians charged with conspiracy to corrupt the November elections, Dist. Atty. Dailey was prepared today to examine some 50 witnesses in rebuttal in federal court bere. , , , The sudden ending of the defense and the decision not to allow Mayor Donn M. Roberts to take the witness stand came late Tuesday after ineffectual attempts of the defense attorneys to prove matters held not relevant to the case by Judge Anderson. Atty. Finley 1. Mount, representing Arthui (jlllif, had expected to take up considerable time in the defense of his client but he closed without putting Ciillis on the stand and Judge Anderson was forced to suspend court temporarily while Atty. A. e. Stanley was summoned and arranged to call additional witnesses which he had contemplated. The first witness for the defense was called Saturday morning and fewer than 100 witnesses testified on tlu.i side. Twelve of these were defendants. In addition to furnishing many surprises the trial has been a disappointment in some respects. Not only did Roberts fall to testify, but comparatively few witnesses were placed on the stand for him. Kxcept by assertion there was no denial of the alleged IG.000 "slush" fund"which Asst. Chief of Polko Holler said he collected for Uoi.erty and manv . ther of the al legations of the government concerning Itobcrts alleged .connection with the saloon bosses, his orders to arrest opposition workers and his , votox-tion of crooked workers, Hilton Kedman, son of Judge Kedman, introd ! but a few witnesses in his behal Charges Against Shei r. Many serious charges ai were made by the government against Sheriff Shea, including the charge that he paid money all election day for votes in O'Donnell's saloon, refused to carrv out orders of Judge Cox, as sheriff and framed up saui or. a progressive worker. Smith, it was alleged, helped fraudulent registration and and ti.nl used his nower as an asJudge in the voting police judge to force many of the wvst end saloon hangers-on to testify falsely for him. Maurice Walsh, it was alleged, paid out $4,0o0 of the sk"i. fun!. Only one witness test hied for O'Donnell. r aloonkeeper.

This May he Last Convention of N.I. T. A., Upon Attendance Hangs Fate of Association

I 'pon the attendance at t he present convention of the Northern Indiana Teachers' association depends the existence of the association and the continuation of similar conventions in the succeeding years. This was the opinion of W. A. Denny, superintendent of schools of Anderson, Ind., vice president of the general association, and chairman of the executive committee. A meeting of the board of directors will be held this evening at 7 o'clock at the Oliver hotel, to discuss the matter and learn the general trend of sentiment regarding the formal adjournment of the association proper. "Should the attendance at the present convention warrant the holding of similar meetings, the association will in all probability remain permanent." Mr. Ienny said Thursday morning. "If it does not, there is every indication that the northern half of the state or the territory which is now included in the northern association will be divided into associations comprising congressional districts. "Work in these districts would be done in tlirect correlation with the state association, and problems peculiar to that district would be taken up. For instance If a certain district had distinct industrial features connected, with it, which were a part of the school work, the special problems resulting from these conditions in this district would be tie Ut with. From time to time as thete districts complete the work in which they are studying, reports to the state association would be made at the annual meeting of that association. Cites St vera 1 Difficulties. "Several difficulties are at present interfering with the oisbanding of the northern association. In the first place the association is a corporation under the laws of the state of Indiana and it is not known whether the officers of the association or the directors would have the power to disband the association, inasmuch as all members of the association art; stockholders and therefore entitled to a vote. This technicality of the law will be threshed out at the, meeting tonight. "Again the districts would in a measure bo handicapped in holding their own meetings as they would not have the necessary funds to procure the prominent educators and talkers, which the wealthier and larger association can secure. However, the districts would have the benefit of being able to secure men who would deal directly with the problems they were solving. At the larger association U.S. PROBES ARREST OF SWOBODA AS ft SPY Ambassador Sharpe in Paris Seeks Grounds For Detention of Banker. IilLLi:ilN. PAIilS, April 1 Acting on a request from the. American embassy the French government toeuy postponed for 1 hours the examination at Havre of Raymond Swoboda, who is r ecused of having i.ttcmpted to blow up the French liner La Tourainc on her recent voyage. It wa.s found impossible for any attache ot the embassy to reach Havre in time to attend the hearing set. for today of the prisoner who claims to be an American citizen. PAULS. April 1. Acting promptly on instructions from his government, William (J. Sharpe, the United States ambassador, today began an investigation of tho arrest of Raymond Swoboda on the charge that he attempted tt blow up the French liner La Tourainc. The purpose of Ambassador Thorpe's investigation are two-fold: l'irsi to ascertain it! Swoboda's rights as an American citizen have been fully recognized; second to learn if there was any connection between the issuance ttf his passport and the passport frauds recently uncovered at New York. French government ollieials remained silent on the ease today, declining to answer questions as to whether any definite evidence had been found to prove their charges that Swoboda was a German spy. It is understood that he will be questioned at Havre today. An attache of the American embassy is expected to leave for Havre within a few hours to attend the hearing. It is reported that a charge of trafficking and corresponding with the enemy" will he added to the other accusations against Swoboda. This prospective second charge, it is supposed will be based upon the letters in German, said by the newspaper Matin to have been found in the possession of Swoboda. The Matin quotes the police as saying that tho letters point strongly to Swoboda's guilt. Much comment has been aroused by tho report that Swoboda made no effect to communicate with the United States em'oi.ssy after his arrest. li:vi:s tkusti:i:s ornci-:.

VAiii noosTKiss to Mi:in A meeting of those interested in the proposed fair and amusement association is to be held at the ediver hotel this evening. Those who have subscribed for stock in the company as well as any others who are interested have been invited to attend

meetings, a speaker may touch n two or three points in which a certain district is interested, but the remainder of the speaker's points would more than likely cover some matters other than this particular district was interested. , "To avoid the difficulty of not being able to secure prominent speakers, the districts might hold their meetings in a series, and thus have the educators proceed directly from one meeting to another. In so doing the speaker might be prevailed upon to come at a lower rate. "At the present time the membership of the state association is something like S.S00. if the northern association should disband it would swell the membership of the state association to nearly lo.OOO. This would mean too large an attendance for Indianapolis where the state meetings are generally held to accommodate. They were unable to satisfactorily care for the S.uOO that attended the meeting last year. Xortli Counties Might Stick. "There is a chance that the few northern tiers of counties in Indiana which are most distant from Indian

apolis will absorb the obligations of the present association and continue to conduct conventions: only upon a i smaller scale. In that case, the -en- i tral counties and those near the stat" j capital would gradually drop out until the membership would he confined to the northern border counties." When asked if the adjournment of the southern association last year would have any effect on the disbandment of the northern association. Mr. Denny said that, he believed it would not owing to the different conditions existing in the southern counties. Mr. Denny was asked what would constitute an attendance which would warrant the continuation of the association as it now exists. He replied that if between 1.200 and 1,100 teachers were present that in all probability the association would continue as formerly. "Advertising matter." continued Mr. Denny, '"has been scattered far and wide all over the northern part of the state, and a good attendance is expected. Most of our funds this year have been spent on material, that is. to get good speakersfor these swell the attendance more than any other one thing." Mi. Denny said mat me matter would be settled definitely at this convention, and as soon as a derision was reached that the matter would be brought to the eral assembly. attention of the genFIFTY CHINESE TO BE Merchants and Bankers on Tour ! of United States to Come Here in June. Fifty Chinese merchants, bankers and business men will be the guests of .South Rend some time early in .June according to announcement Thursday from the Chamber of Commerce. South Rend has beei scheduled as one of the stops of "ihe t eriental visitors on an H.imhj mile journey they are making over the -United States. The trip will consume 7 4 days. The delegation is expected to leach San Francisco May 1. It will be entertained at the exposition one week. A tentative itinerary has been made out containing a portion of the list of cities which will be visited and thus far South Rend is the smallest in population. The tour across the country ends at RosUm and on the return trip four cities in New York, two in uhio and two in Michigan will be visited, j tne train coming nere irom ranu Rapids and going from South Rend to Chicago. This tour is being linanccd by the Chinese government, though the itinerary is made out and all arrangements made by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific coa-t. It is with a view of establishing commercial relations with the various cities that the delegation is coming and in view of the fact that China today presents the largest open market in the country it is of more than ordinary importance at this time. An interesting fact in connection with this tour is that it is under tinsame auspices as the tour of the imperial Japanese commission which was so well entertained in this city by the Chamber of Commerce in lTo. Just as soon as delinite information as to the time of arrival of the desires of the visitors is secured the Chamber of Commerce will appoint a special committee to have the entertainment of the distinguished uientals in charge. 4,000 CHICAGO PAINTERS AND DECORATORS STRIKE CHICAGO, April 1.
