The law-breaking minority deciared, “shall not overthrow the sane, considerate decision of the great majority.” Representative Kel seen seven Congresses, “each one drier than the one preceding.” He advocated placing prohibition agents in the civil service, more severe sen- tences for violations of the Volstead act and deportations for aliens who should convicted of such violu- jons. nt driest two enator 1 Repre- sen vania, devo- ly said he had be You should hibition Welles womanho stand of the behind zabeth declired student pro- th of lis- of in e colleg view citizenshi It is rapidly for a student w of the now iso are beco spicuous.” Miss Esther McDonald of Colambia University teachers' said “Women _believe in cause it has removed the corner saloon from thair mother who breaks tt law has lost a great d to demand obedience dren."

Unfortunately many are,” she added. “But we must not forget that the flippant group in each college makes a louder noise and receives more notice than the steady, reliable majority that forms the bulk' of the young people, and among whom are the hope and po- tential leaders of tom College Conditions. Many delegates to the conference reported during discussion of eondi- tlons in Americam colleges and uni- versities, that there was some drink- ing, but that conditions on the whole were improved over previous years. Some reported that alumni returning to college with the expectation of re- viving Some of their old-time drink- ing customs wero frequently re. =ponsible for undergraduates break- ing the law.

Defines Legal Release. Maj. Gordon said that unless the releases were had through a formal hearing by the commissioner issuing the warrints and after “complaint had been lodged by an agent with his signature on the statement, the re- Ie were illegal. “CTommissioner Callan was doing a rushing business for a while. No soon- er was one case called and disposed of than another presented itself. The little sergeant’s room at the second precinct ‘was stifling because of the crowds about the desk of Commissioner Callan. He worked like a Trojan, signing releases s quickly as he could, and so rushed was he, he said, that he failed to note that the complaints had the signatures attached to them. 1t was learned last night, that it is o matter of record in the office of the district attorney that a hearing was held by Commissioner Callan on March 7, in the office of a bondsman. in the case of Joseph Mann, charged with transporting and possessing liquor illegally, and that after one svernment witness had been heard the case was dismissed. Mann Was Re-Arrested It is also on record that Mann was re-arrested on March 29 on the same charge, after an assistant district attorney had his attention called to the case and that before Judge John P. McMahon in_the police court on March 31, he pleaded guilty to the charge on which he had previously been released. He was find $100 or §0 days. The charges in the report to District Attorney Gordon implicate a bondsman’s “runner.” who, it is sald, agreed to sce Mann's case through. Conflicting stories are told relative to the third development. Rayner, the Hitt butler, stoutly protested against the statement that he had ever sold Asher any liquor at any time. Asher, as blm:ufi;.l describes the oceeding_vividly, P hy said Riyner,” the man Asher came to the door of the house and told me he was from some Mrs. Jones. Then he said he wanted to give a dinner and wished me’ to let him have a case of liguor. I said: “My man, I am not in the business.’ This charge is false. The man has sworn to a false charge.” Says He Bought Liquor. “You know those marble flanked walle in the Hitt residence. 1 got inside and sat down on that marble bench in the reception hall. The maid brought the butler to me. I sat there and 1 got a drink there. And 1 bought a quart of brandy and | a quart of Scotch from him there. Do you think I'd have nerve emough to implicate this man if he were innoosnt, especially in view of hls connections?” Police warranta limited their pearch of the Hitt residence to the part occupied by Rayner and they found no liquor there. The raids throughout the city were made as the result of_ information worked up by Privates Harry Bauer and N. O, ~Holmes, temporarily as- signed to the vice squad. They have been working “under cover’ making buys for the greater part of the last two weeks. Tuesday last, Asher and Hertzig_came back to town and got in on the wind-up.

Fitty by the alleged $40,000,000 LOAN FORMEXICO 0K.D New York and Philadelphia Bankers Will Underwrite Project. By Cable to The Star and Philadeiphia Poblie Ledger. Copyright, 1924 MEXICO CITY, April § $40,000,000 will be cbtained by Mexican government next week through two loans from New York and Philadelphia bankers. This announc ment followed the disclosure that Am- bassador Warren and Secretary of the Treasury Pani recently have held a series of conferences regarding the pro- posed loans. The ambassador refused to confirm or deny the reports of his conferenee. Becretary Pan!, when questioned re- garding the stories of a loan to the Mexican government, replied that me- gotiations of such a nature had taken place. According to a spokesman for the: Wolvin line, the two loans will be divided in the following way: New York interests will raise $25,000.000 and Phil- adelphia bankers, $15,000,000. The loans will be separate, with differing terms of settlement, but negotiations through the same channel. Will Rehabilitxte Railroads. The proceeds of the loans will be employed by the Mexican government to pay arrears in the salaries of public employes, to rehabilitate the railroad systems throughout the republic, and in_public improvements. The Wolvin line spokesman empha- sized the fact that the Mexican gov- ernment was not being asked to grant what is popularly known as a conces- sion, but merely was being asked for privileges which are not exclusive and will result in the devolpment of Mexi can resources on an unparalieled scale, particularly regarding, agricultural products. A representative of the Bethlchem Steel Company, who has been here for the past two ks negotiating for the purchase of an important iron min- ing_property in the state of Guerrero, said the negotiations had advanced to a stage where the company was trying to obtain the right to build a rallroad to the seacoast and build a seaport at Nexpa, a Pacific coast town.

This is a vital question that demands intelligent an- swering if education and life are to go forward on a sound and safe basis—how to safeguard the children. The Washington Tuberculosis Association answers this question by employing four nuitrition workers and purchasing the necessary materials for their use in the School Nutrition Clinics in co-operation with the Health Department and the School authorities. These clinics by a systematic course of popular education reach into the home. The Objects of Nutrition Clinics: 1—To examine and study children havin defective nutrition to determine the cause—whether it be physical defects, such as diseased_ tonsils, adenoids, defective teeth or faulty food or food habits or improper th habits—and to instruct both children and parents in the promotion of good health. 2—To have all physical defects corrected as soon as possible, 3—To encourage a better balanced diet, including plenty of pasteurized cereals. 4—To create by group influenc health—abundance of sleep, and sunshine and habits of milk, green vegetables, fruits and whole grain e the desire to form habits of proper exercise and play, fresh air cleanliness. $—To stimulate the desire for health by recording the children’s progress from week to week.

The Senate also will be asked this week by Senator Ball to agree to a resolution providing $5,000 ad-| ditional to continue the investiga- tion into housing conditions and al- leged conspiracies which, it isl charged, keep up the prices of real estate, both for rent and purchase, in the District. This resolution Il;ull been referre to the commit- tee on contingent expenses of the Senate and Senator Ball declared he would seek favorable report by that committes tomorrow.
