WHEELER MAKES REPLY. | Says Cost of Prohibition Is Small Part of Benefit. “Prohibition and its enforcement cost the government only a small amount in comparison to its benefit,” was the reply of Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, to the resolution of Mr. An- drews, which was introduced at the directors’ meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night. In a formal statement Mr. Wheeler said: “The federal law enforcement de- partment is practically the only fed- eral department that about pays its way with fines and forfeited bonds collected from the law violators, and the prohibitive taxes assessed against the illcgal sale of liquor. Over $30,- 060,060 in prohibitive taxes have been listed against these illicit dealers and half. at least, can be collected If the revenue collectors do their duty. Prohibition is saving this country over a billion dollars a year directly, and more than that indirectly. It has decreased arrests for drunkenness in former wet territory more than 60 per cent throughout the nation, while England during the year 1930, in- creased her convictions for.drunken- ness 35.26 per cent, according to the official report just filed with parlia- ment. In the city of Washington there has been a marvelous decrcase in arrests for drunkenness, as com- pared with the year when the saloons were open.” FIVE-DAY CARNIVAL OPENS | Entertainment for Benefit of SL[ Ann’s Infant Asylum.

H., August 3.— President Harding found today the se- clusion and easement from cares of office for which he has expressed a de- e s0 often since he became chief ex- ecutive. As a guest of Secretary Weeks at country home on the summit of Mount Prospect, the President and Mrs. Harding, with a party of friends, began with a day of rest a vacation which is to last until the end of the week at least. A closed private road IS the only approach to their retreat and a tele- By th I phone four miles away at the foot of the mountain is the nearest connection with the outside world. ‘Will Stay for Week. It is expected that their only trips outside the Weeks estate during their stay here will be to nearby golf courses and for short motor rides in the White mountains. The President expects to give attention only to such public busi- ness as will not permit of delay. The President and Mrs. “Harding reached the Weeks lodge late yester- day by motor from Portland, Me., where they had left the yacht May. flower after a cruise from Washing- ton. They probably will return to the capital by the same route, leaving here Saturday or Sunday. Besldes Secretary Weeks and the President and Mrs. Harding the vaca- tion party at the Weeks lodge in- cludes Senator Hale of Maine, Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and Mrs, Frelinghuysen, Senator New of Indi- ana and Mrs, New, Senator Phipps of Colorado and Mrs. Phipps and Secre- tary Christian.
