Price, .ive Cents lARLIER CLOSING OF BARS FEATURE OF LICENSE BYLAW [iuncil Refuses to Adopt Suggestion that License Board be Given Power to Renew Licenses Without Cause, or that Bartenders Must Be "Recommended." fill midnight yesterday the city councils occupied in passing the Licen- By-law through committee aa a bit-. It was not at first intended to leruke this last night, but Alderman cy put his foot down hard, de- jinn that this by-law had been too delayed already and was urgently Bed- He told Alderman Smith that ivould give vital reasons for thia if I aldermen would step with him into I Mayor's room���not for any physical pment, however! the council went into committee 1 sat close. In accordance with the jror's promise to the Local Option ciation the early closing question * ell thrashed out with the following lit: Bars to Close Early in Prince Rupert, according to w licensing by-law will close at (.in. each night except Saturday and On Saturdays they will close 1 p.m. They will remain closed all |av and will open on Monday at . and at the same hour each other day. This clause was passed ouncil in committsje aa a whole some little differences had been ated, notably, Alderman Naden's ction to the 6 a.m. opening hour rli objection waa overcome. ��� Bartendera to Have Licensee licenses for bartenders will be neces- under the new by-law. There was IEY GOT THERE JUST IN TIME some discussion regarding the recommendation of applicants for licenses as bartenders and eventually the clause requiring them to be recommended was cut out. Unsuitable applicants it was held would quickly betray themselves, and be deprived iof ther licenses. That a clear view of the interior of the whole bar must bc possible from the outside is a poinl insisted on An Important Divcussion A lengthy discussion arose when Clause 7 A was reached. This clause provides that the Board shall renew the licenses of all license holders who have not been guilty of any violations of the Act, and thut if at some future date the number of licenses are cut down, those of most recent date are to be cut off first. Alderman Smith opposed this clause wanting these matters to be left to the discretion of the Board. He claimed that such a clause was illegal. Lynch Had Legal Opinion Alderman Lynch who staunchly insisted that the clause should stand, said he had got legal advice on the point and was assured that the clause was quite proper. To Alderman Hilditch who wanted more time to consider it, it was pointed out that an opportunity would present iteslf on the third reading next Tuesday. On the motion of Alderman Lynch the clause was put to the committee and passed. |fO CONVIVIAL CENTS VISITED THE CITY HALL opped in at Midnight While Council Waa Discussing Licenses���They ���thought City Hall Was a Bar and Ordered Drinks. Jeep in the discussion of the Licensing J-law the city council at a late hour night was disturbed by fumbling mumblings at the door. The fumblings and mumblings were lluwed by stumblings as the door ened and two dazed but good letn- 'f'-'l drunks entered and leaned across counter. [Mayor Stork took in the situation pd jumped up. I Bobbing their heads cheerfully the pruders gave their order: "Two ('lush' -er." Gently the Mayor explained the dry i dust nature of the business conducted ^ithin the premises visited. Slowly the woeful truth dawned on tie visitors, and piloted by the Mayor 1 Alderman Pattullo they despondent- withdrew.

BRITISH SPIES GET FOUR YEARS HEAVY SENTENCE MAY LEAD TO INTERNATIONAL TROUBLE Question Will Be Raised in the House of Commons as to Severity of Sentence���Men Pleaded Guilty to "Sketching." (Special to the Optimist) Leipsig, Dec. 23.���International complications are regarded as a possible sequel to the four years term of im- prisonemnt meted out to the two British spies who were caught and pleaded guilty to sketching German fortifications. The names of the officers thus caught are Captain Trench and Lieutenant Brandon. The sentence is regarded as much too severe for the offence committed se- pecially in view of the fact that quite recently a German spy caught doing the same thing at Portsmouth was allowed to go free on his own recog- niscances. It is understood that the matter will be brought up in the British House of Commons.

Mayor Promises He Will Attend to the Matter. TRYING TO BREAK RECORD London, Dec. 22.-According to wireless messages the Mauretania which is endeavoring to reduce the record for the trans-Atlantic trip is well ahead of schedule time and is likely to accomplish her design. She should reach Fishguard tonight. A number of well-known citizens filed into the City Hall during last night's council meeting. They represented the Local Option League, and came to bring urgently before thcMayor and council the need for early closing of the city bars. Acting as spokesman for the deputation, H. F. McRae put forward their contention that the liqour trade required to be seriously controlled in the city. He urged the existence of early closing measures in many other cities, and suggested for Prince Rupert that the bars close at 11 p.m. on five nights and an hour earlier on Saturday. Mayor Stork in reply said that the Licensing By-law would be befere the council that night, and lhat he would undertake that the deputation's desires in respect lo early closing would have due consideration in discussion of the by-law. Alderman Naden expressed his intention to do all ho^ould at the proper time to further the early closing cause, and the deputation then withdrew thenking the Mayor and council. London, Dec. 21.���With the final voting the general elections have come to a close. All the resultB are not yet '; known, but the last three seats were formerly held by a Liberal, a Nationalist and an Independent Nationalist. Standing of Parties The standing of the parties is: Government Coalition.- Liberals, 270, Laborites 43, Nationalists 72, Independent Nationalists 10. Total 395. Opposition.���Unionists 272. Coalition majority 123. No Changes Expected The return of the Nationalist and the Independent Nationalist in the constituencies yet remaining to be heard from is considered certain and there is small possibility of a change in Wick Burghs in Scotland, represented in the last parliament by a Liberal, R. Aurno. The Liberal majority in this district in the January election was 276, and it is considered doubtful if the Unionists can overcome this. A Remarkable Contest The election has been the most remarkable in the history of British politics and has upset the entire calculations of the Unionists, who had seriously expected not less than twenty seats. On the contrary the Unionists have not only gained nothing, but are likely in the end to suffer a net loss of one. IN THE ORIENT MONGOLIAN AUTHORITIES TAKE NO STEPS TO CHECK IT German Consul Declares That If Authorities Do Not Take Immediate Action Hia Government Will Step in and Act. (Special to the Optimisti Hong Kong, Dec. 28.���Buconlc plague iB now raging in Mongolia and carrying off scores every day. Manchuria is also reported to be plague striken. The terrible feature about the plague is that it is being allowed to go on unchecked. No modern method is being applied to it, and the list of the victims are increasing daily. The German Consul, realizing the peril of the situation to Europeans has Btepped into the breach and taken action. He has demanded (hat the authorities take immediate action to have a radical measure introduced to cope with the evil. He declares that unless immediate action is taken the German government will take over the control of the distrirt. Since October the 15th no less than 543 Chinese and 30 Russians have succumbed to the ravages of the dreaded plague. MORE RUSSIAN BRUTALITY Gendarmes Attack Students With Sabres at Odessa (Special to the Optimist) Odessa, Dec. 23.���As a result of a street riot between students and gendarmes three of the former were killed and ten more seriously injured. The students had formed themselves into a procession and were singing revolutionary songs on the street. They were asked to disperse by the officers but declined to do so whereupon the gendarmes charged into them with sabres and executed considerable havoc in the ranks of the students. CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR HOSPITAL CITY WILL PROBABLY MAKE DONATION OF $1,000 After Conference With the Hospital Board the Finance Committee Agrees to Recommend Council to Make Grant of Above Amount. This morning thc chariman, secretary, and some members of the General Hospital Board met the members of the finance committee in connection with the proposal that the hospital funds should be augmented by the city. After a short discussion it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the finance committee the members of whieh remained in consultation after the Hospital Board members had withdrawn. Decision was come to that the committee shall recommend the city council to donate $1,000 to the Hospital Fund. This iB not as much as the Hospital Board had hoped for, but as thc whole question of the municipal ownership of the hospital will come up early in the coming year the finance committee fetl that they coulc not go further with the matter at present. LOAN OF $66,000 Agreement With Bank of Montreal Confirmed A motion that the city council confirm the agrrement with the Bank of Montreal for a loan of $66,000 was put by Alderman Pattullo last night and carried.

The I'rince George cast off her mooring last night a few minutes after schedule lims' and proceeded upon what is hoped will be a record breaking journey. The company on board though not a large one was full of the spirit of Christmas geniality not to be cssnlounded wilh the liquid Bpirit of New Year and as the boat veered from the wharf out into the [bay the muffled strains of "We're Here Because We're Here" were wafted to the listeners on the Bhore on the Bhadowy# wings of a torrential night. Christmas is inseparably associated with thc tender influences of home and it is fairly evident that the majority of those making the southward trip were imbued with that subtle and instinctive motive. Among the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Newton, Mrs. Hilditch, wife of Alderman Hilditch, and Mr. P. W. Scott. Mrs. Newton will remain in Vancouver for some time but her husband will be back Boon. Christmas greetings to the Mayor, Aldermen and Members of the Press were presented on the initiative of Alderman Pattullo last night in council. Mr. Nelson of the Journal replied on behalf of the Press.

Friday, Dec. 2S A MUDDLE-HEADED ECONOMIST The plight of our contemporary in regard to its lack of understanding of municipal economics is similar to that of tho ostrich which when hunted hides its head in the sand, in the sincere belief that because it cannot see the hunter, the hunter cannot see it. The poor old Empire has concluded that because it cannot see how it is cheaper to borrow $300,000 at 6 per cent than $1,000,000 at 4 1-2 per cent that no one else can see it. It is the failing of dull minds the world over. Had it only waited twenty-four hours before proclaiming its ignorance, it might have been spared its self exposure. As it is, our yesterday's article explaining what the Empire confesses it cannot understand, did not appear quite soon enough to save our contemporary. Our contemporary ia paying now for its past misdeeds. Its mind so long devoted to the task of blind abuse has become incapable of thinking clearly about anything. However, a confession of ignorance is the starting poinl of knowledge, and the New Year may bring peace and sanity. In the meantime, it would do well to avoid talking about economics until it sees lhe light. Its suggestion of peddling off portions of a debenture issue as needed, is amusing in tho extreme. What consternation it would cause on the bourses of Paris, Berlin, and London each Friday night when the news would come flashing l through the cable: "Rush week-end sale debentures. Stuck for money. McMordie nearly through on Second Ave. bluff. Men on Seventh Ave. plankway threaten to quit. Must have $7,517.1*3 by noon tomorrow." The Empire has made Prince Rupert ridiculous enough in the eyes of the world without monkeying with its financial problems. Condensed Advertisements. ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP?

R. boat Amur, which met with a couple of accidents while on her way from Vancouver to Prince Rupert reached this port early this forenoon. There were no passengers on board, all of them having been transferred to the Princess Beatrice when the first mishap overtook the Amur and necessitated her being hold up at Vancouver for repairs. After the first accident, a broken rod, she steamed out of Vancouver but was not destined to make the trip even then for after getting clear of the Capilano water main something went wrong with her engines and she had to limp back to Vancouver with but ono engine working. Those who were destined for Quoen Charlotte had to wai in Vancouver until the vessel was repaired and ready for the journey. Captain Locke brought her in this morning and reported that she had made a good showing on the way up after her two mishaps. The Bruno reached Prince Rupert last night with a mixed cargo from the Islands. She left again in the afternoon.

ADVERTISE IN THE OPTIMIST THE VANCOUVER HOLD-UP That thrilling story from Vancouver, told in detail on another page.of how a restaurant keeper in that city was held up at tho point of a revolver should bo thoruoghly investigated by the Vancouver police. It may not be the piece of thuggism the despatches claim it to be. Many a peace-loving citizen of Prince Rupert who has had a meal in a Vancouver restaurant has felt just like that. Instead of a thug, the gentleman with the shooting-iron may have been merely a public-spirited citizen. That the man was not unduly vindicitive is seen by his act in merely emptying the till. He might have insisted on the unhappy restaurant proprietor eating one of his own meals. Such a plan is adopted by the Imperial cooks in China, the theory probably being that if tho cook does not drop down dead the owner of the Imperial atomach may safely take a chance. Perhaps the man had himself been the victim of a hold-up in a Vancouver restaurant, and decided to exact a poetic revenge upon the first culinery catere he came across. That is supposed to be the reason why so many hold-ups by masked bandits take place on the western railroads. The bandits were originally honest men who came from the East with the intention of settling down to lives of toil. Rut after paying a visit to the dining car they decided to go into thc hold-up business themselves. The reason that they mask their faces is that they may not be itlentilied by the waiters in the dining cars. The Vancouver hold-up may be just the vulgar act of a common criminal; on the other hand it may be the act of a modern John Hampden heralding the dawn of a new day for those unhappy men who have to subsist on restaurant meals. Heretofore the restaurant dyspeptic has always revenged himself on his wife, his family or his employees. Maybe now he will deal out justice in the matter. The Vancouver police should sift this matter to the bottom and produce the gentleman with the gun. Either penal servitude for life or a statue in bronze should be his portion. WORD "FOREIGN" IS NOT ALLOWED CITY COUNCIL CANNOT ADMIT IT IN PETITION Not in Accordance With the Spirit of the Dominion���Petition Against Hotel on Fourth Avenue Must Be Re-worded. Owing to thc unfortunate use of the word "foreigner" in the petition by the Fourth avenue residents against the erection of a boarding house on Fourth avenue near Grant place, the petition has boon referred back to the petitioners, but meanwhile the building permit for the proposed structure is withheld. It was felt by tho streets committee who considered the matter that they could hardly recommend tho council to act upon this petition in a manner distinct from tho usage of the Dominion itself in regard to the freedom as citizens allowed to all nationalities. While the committee's report stated that the district was a beautiful residential one and rendered still more so by the fine residencea erected there already, it was felt by the whole council that to forbid the erection of a "boarding house" there might affect this district at a future date when in all probability it may be the high class boarding house district of the city. Regarding the use of the word "foreigner" in the objectionable sense, there was even some hint of international complications. In any case the council while desirous of preservirg lhe amenity of the residential districts is unwilling to make the term "foreign" one of opprobrium, although the grounds for the petition in question are thoroughly understood by every member of the council.

HARBOR-MASTERS AUTHORITY QUESTIONED BY MERCHANT Capt. Allcock Convinced Mr. C. Peck That the Law Was on His Side- Threatened With Fine of $50 in Default. Mr. C. Peek and Captain Allcock, the harbor-master, do not exactly see eye to eye in matters relating to the conduct of the wharf. The worthy captain would sei'Hi to have the government on his side however and that certainly is an asset not to be lightly disregarded, The trouble arose in this way. Before I'rince Kupert developed the shipping whieh necessitated the installation of a properly authorized harbor-master the numerous scows having trade relation* with the port were in the habit of tying up at the most convenient places, and as there was little chance of them being in the way no one objected. Scows in the Way The recent march of industry has altered all this however. On several occasions lately the scows have interfered with the berthing of the larger boats coining from the north and south with freight and passengers. In order ! to obviate any difficulty and at the same j time to settle all disputes that might j arise upon this point the harbor regulations had a clause ingraftesl conferring the arbitary power of ordering the scows to be removed within a certain space of time. Explanations Follow : It was the exercise ot this power that brought Mr. Peck into the harbor- I master's office this morning with a ! complaint against petty persecution. I Prior to this appearance he and the i Captain had held intercourse over the telephone when thc latter intimated that if the said scow ot the former was not removed from its present mooring within an hour, the time specified by law, he would have him fined $50. Accordingly Mr. Peck visited the Captain's den down at the waterfront and demanded an explanation. Perfectly willing to comply the Captain took down the harbor regulations from the wall and quoted the paragraph investing himself with the necessary power and Intimating the extent of the fine. The regulations were so specific that there could be no gainsaying them so Mr. Peck went off to have his scow removed. Source of Trouble Captain Allcock who has only been stationed here for two months says that a great deal of trouble has been occasioned the larger vessels through scows being berthed right on the front of the wharf. It somestimes happens that a boat has to make a couple of complete circles before she can effect a landing on account of these small craft; and of course all that unnecessary cruising means a serious loss to the vessels. =_���_= LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Skrens Und Distrirt-Distrirt ssl Cssst Tsks* iintir.- thst Esiwsrd Thorns, of Vsincousrer.

G0TCH COMING BACK TO RING OFFERED $30 000 FOR A TWELVE WEEKS' TOUR Former Manager of Wrestling Champion Says He Will Sign Contract Soon Which Will Bring Him Back to Active Service. What is regarded as confirmation that Frank Gotch is really considering returning to active life on the wrestling mat is contained in a letter written by Emil Klank, former manager of the Iowan, who is in New York. The letter reads: "Within the next few days Frank Gotch probably will sign a contract which will put him back in the wrestling game temporarily at least. Frank has been offered $30,000 for a twelve weeks' tour. According to the proposition offered he would be asked to meet all comers, but there will be a clause in the contract that will allow him to use his own judgment about selecting opponents. Of course, he would not meet either Mahmout or Hackenschmidt while on the road. However, if the signs he contract which will be offered him shortly, I believe that he will be back in the game for good. LOUISE WRECKED ALL HANDS LOST VESSEL PICKED UP NEAR PRINCE OF WALES CAPE From the Dismantled Condition in Which She Waa Found It la Surmised That She Was Caught in An Ice Pack. Nome, Dec. 21.���Crushed and splintered wreckage of the trading schooner Louise has been found near Cape Prince of Wales. This leads to the belief that Capt. Owens, Engineer Laborde and two passengers, John Kelly and Fred Ran have perished in Bering Sea. The condition of the wreckage indicate* that the Louise was caught in the ice and broken up. The Louise was a gasoline schooner of eight tons gross register. She was built in Nome eight years ago and was constructed especially for battle with ice floes. The schooner sailed from Nome on a trading voyage two months ago and nothing has been seen or heard of those on board her since. NEW RAILROAD PROBLEM Latest Decision of Railway Commission Affects C. N. R. Construction of a railroad begun before the Railway Commission has been approached to approve of the line's location will lead to the railroad's being condemned. This is the latest dictum of the board. It happens that work on the Canadian Northern's proposed line between Stewart wyn and Rocky Mountain House had been put in hands previous to the company's approaching the commission for approval of this railway's location. Now the C. N. R. company have withdrawn their application for approval, and very probably the company will appeal to the Alberta Legislature to settle the matter. Considerable interest has been aroused in railroad circles, by this decision of the commission's, and further developments in thc direction of the C. N. R. company's proceedings are looked tor.

AMERICAN GIRLS ENTER POLITICS ACQUIRED THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY As a result of steps taken by two or three of the northern canning companies to secure gasoline boats and supply free gasoline to the fishermen, it is expected that the whole salmon-fishing business on the Skeena River will be revolutionized by the displacement of the sailing boats and the installation of the gasoline type. The latter style of fishing boat is very largely used on the Fraser River and in the Gulf of Georgia at the present time and its adoption in the north has all along been regarded as only a matter of time. On account of the fact that the drifts and the tides can be watched so much more closely when the fishermen are out in gasoline propelled boats and do not have to wait for favorable winds or take the oars, naturally the men did not want to stay with the old style of boats. Last year, it is stated, two companies offered free gasoline as an incentive to the fishermen and as a result secured the services of all they wanted while the less fortunate canneries on occasions could not secure enough fishermen to man the boats allotted them under the government scaling. TO ALTER THE GRADES Second and Third Avenue Owners Petition Council Petitions for the revision of the grades on Second and Third avenues, are in the hands of the council and were referred to the streets committee last night. Waivers of claims for compensation on account of alteration of grade have been given by nearly all of the proper'y owners on the portions of the avenues proposed to be altered, viz., between McBride and Third streets. It was agreed at last night's council that this matter should go to the city engineer with instructions that he set about preparing the necessary data in form for presentation to thc Lieutenant- Governor with the request for permission to alter the grade. The alteration will give some more much needed fill for excavated material. ANOTHER GOLD FIND Located by Officials of the C. P. R. Steamer Princess Adelaide Victoria, Dec. 21.���Officers of the new steamer Princess Adelaide which has just arrived from Glasgow to enter the Victoria-Vancouver service of the Canadian Pacific Railway, are elated over the discovery of free milling gold ledges at Tuesday Bay, in the Straits of Magellan, whfre they landed when the steamer anchored in the bay, weatherbound. On the beach they found an abandoned Indian hut, and on climbing a mountain about 600 feet, a large lake was found between peaks, and running almost parallel to the lake was a large vein of gold quartz. Samples were brought for assay, and the officers are laying plans to get back to the goldfields. Sewer Pipe for Fraser Street Sewer pipes necessary for construction of a culvert on Fraser street has been recommended for purchase by the city engineer and the city council considered the matter last night and referred it to the finance committee. INSERT YOUR LAND PURCHASE NOTICES IN THE OPTIMIST College Women Have Banded Together to Organise Political Clubs. Think They Must or State Will Be Ruined. Seattle, Dec. 21.���Taking advantage of their newly acquired right to the ballot, co-eds of the University of Washington are planning to enter largely into the political life of the state. It was learned today that a number of the college women have banded together with the view of organizing political clubs. "We believe that the younger women should take the lead among the women voters," said one of the leading co-eds today. We propose to vote as often as we can, and will attempt to employ our franchise wisely. The idea that a young woman will vote for a man simply because he is good-looking is absurd. A woman really can 'size up' a man much sooner than another man can do it." The women of the university take the stand that they must be active in politics or their voice in the affairs of the state and nation will be ignored.

For instance, it is supposed to be a garden. Here are flowers, yes. But there should be vegetables also." The Mags' manager smiled meditatively. "It will bc all right on thc night," he said. "They will be supplied by the audience." "You have been a faithful employee, Joe," said the boss to a scanty-hired man, "and I have decided to increase your wages $2 a week." "Oh, never mind about it," rejoined the meek, but faithful Joe, indifferently. "What!" excalimed the boss in surprise. "Do you mean to tell me that you don't want a raise?" "It wouldn't do me any good," replied the other with a deep sigh. "My wife would soon find it out."

Fortunately the inmate- were out when the outbreak occurred for the flames spread with great rapidity and in a few minutes the place was gutted. The alarm was rung in to the fire station by a girl. On rushing the reel to the scene of the fire the brigade was faced with the difficulty of getting water. The house where the fire occurred was away at the far end of the avenue of houses and the nearest hydrant was at Miller's pool room, some eight hundred feet away. Across planks and stumps the hose was carefully negotiated, however, and the water was speedily playing upon the flames. The interior of the house was burnt to matchwood and there was grave danger for a time that the flames would envelop the two adjoining houses, one of which was only two feet waay and the other five feet away. Fireman Injured By drenching these houses, however, the firemen succeeded in preventing the blaze from spreading and after some strenuous work also succeeded in extinguishing the fire in 48. When the fire was sufficiently subdued to allow of the firemen entering the j building it was found that everything | had been destroyed. The furniture j was burnt to cinders and the clothing | of the inmates was destroyed. D. McKenzie. one of the firemen, injured his hand through falling against { the chimney while endeavoring to get ut the root of the outbreak. A Defective Chimney The fire is supposed to have been caused through an overheated chimney. The alarm was rung in to the fire station at aeven o'clock and the men had it out by nine. Many people were attracted by the blaze and for a time considerable excitement prevailed not only among the spectators, but among the inmates of the other houses in the vicinity.
